It's just another manic Monday...

'Cause that's my funday...

It's just another manic Monday...

Love that song and that's the way I feel today!!

I was over at http://laurenfromtexas.com/
and at the end of her post it talks about her and her dad...
And it made me miss my dad SO MUCH!!!
Most of you know that i've always been a
"DADDY'S GIRL" and when he passed away...
and I've said this before...a part of me
died with him on 12/24/08... Lauren's post of her
and her dad on her wedding day made me remember my wedding day
10 years ago...man...if we would've made it, we would've
celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year...WOW...
Anyway...I will NEVER forget what my dad said to me...
We were standing at the back of the church and Angie G.
was about to open the door for us to go in...and he said...
"You know Peanut, you can still back out...you don't have
to do this..." I told him no, that I was sure of it...and he said
"OK, just know that the get-away car is warmed up and waiting
for you!" I laughed and laughed...but he meant it!! He didn't
want me to get married to Jeff...I guess daddy always know what's
best...

Love you Daddy! Miss you so much!!!

New Orleans

We had a blast! No cheer competition......but Karson, MiMi and I had a BLAST!!! We went on the Steamboat Nachez down the Mississippi River for a two hour tour on Friday afternoon... Then we ordered pizza and hung out in the hotel room...had us a girls night... Until Louisiana SWAT showed up......LOL......they were staying down the hall from us.....yummo!! LOL...... Anyway, Saturday we went back downtown and we walked around the French Quarter and went shopping in the Riverwalk Mall......and I bought this...















LOVE it...it's not big enough for me to carry my camera...but I'll figure something out...you know me...I NEVER go anywhere without my camera!! I might need to take a picture of something going down...LMAO... Karson took her money with her and spent every penny that I let her take...LOL...that girl can go through some money...let me tell you!! If I would have let her take all of her money out of her account...she would have spend every penny of it too!!! She LOVES to shop...but HATES to try on clothes!!! LMAO!!

Anyway...when I get the few pictures I took downloaded...I'll post those too... Until then...I think I will sleep!! I WISH I COULD SLEEP!!! I needed to take today off to recover from all the driving!!! LOL...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow, You're Only a Day Away.....

Karson and I leave for New Orleans tomorrow...by way of Pineville...stopping to pick up MiMi... We all are so excited! We can hardly wait!!!

Five Rules (Thanks Lori...I stole this from you...LOL)

Five rules for men to follow for a happy life
1. It’s important to have a woman who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.
2. It’s important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It’s important to have a woman who you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.
4. It’s important to have a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It’s very, very important that these four women do not know each other.

My next tattoo

This is my next tattoo... It's just a rough sketch as Becky called it when she did it for me... But it's perfect and exactly what I want...and that I will get in the next few weeks! It's a memorial to my dad and to honor my MeeMaw... All of you know that dad passed away from thoat cancer on 12/24/08...well...some don't know that MeeMaw has battled breast cancer....TWICE....and won both times!!! First time wasn't so bad...they got all of the lump when they did the biopsy...the second time wasn't so easy... She had to have surgery and then the doctor didn't get all of it...so she had to go through radiation...but...she's a trooper and is now cancer free...AGAIN!!!

Okay......so I have searched and searched for the sketch of the tattoo......and I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!! I sure hope Becky still has it on her computer...once I find it...I'll post it!

Sorry Laura...

WooHoo...it was on my cell phone...it's kind of cut off at the bottom where "Love" will be written...but you get the picture...

Yummy.....

This is my version of an Italian cream cheese cake...everyone LOVES it when I make it...so feel privilaged that I'm sharing it with you all...


Kari's Italian Cream Cheese Cake

Cake:
1 box of Yellow cake mix - (MUST BE BUTTER RECIPE AND THE ONE THAT HAS PUDDING IN THE MIX)
1/3 stick of butter
3 eggs
1 can 15 1/2 oz. curshed pineapple
Mix butter with mixer to soften; add cake mix, 3 eggs, and ENTIRE can of cushed pineapple (including juice) - DO NOT ADD THE WATER THAT THE MIX SAYS TO ADD - YOU ARE USING THE PINEAPPLE JUICE INSTEAD OF THE WATER. Mix for 2 - 3 minutes until well blended. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes (depending on your oven…start checking at 25 minutes…)

Icing:
1 stick of butter
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese - I use fat free…shh…don't tell anyone :-)
1 package of powdered sugar - you don't use the whole bag - only about 1/2 to 3/4
1 package of chopped walnuts - optional
Milk - a splash at a time
Mix the butter and cream cheese; add about 1/2 bag of powdered sugar and a splash of milk. Mix well and taste…if it doesn't taste right…add a little more of the powdered sugar…not much though… If you want to add the walnuts, this is the time to add them to incorporate them into the icing....
*******Ice the cake when it's warm....I poke a butter knife in the top of the
cake to make 'breathing holes' for the icing to go down into the cake....

ENJOY!!! Let me know how you like it!!!
