GAME WEEK!!

Well....it's so close I can almost taste it! ! No Megan...I don't have a crown and sprite sitting next to me as I type this!!! IT'S GAME WEEK!!! I'm so excited...I went out and bought some Depends....just in case. My clothing selection for this week is....orange, orange, blue, blue and orange on Friday. Thursday night is Tiger Talk.....it's always an emotional night for me as my daughter, the aforementioned Megan, use to be the "Tiger Talk Girl" during her Junior and Senior year at Auburn University. I was so proud of her....almost as much as I was when she was a cheerleader at Auburn High School!! I was the original "Texas Cheer Mom"....but...I'm getting off of the "TTG" story. Tiger Talk is Tommy Tuberville's Thursday night radio call in show before football games. It's usually live on location at The Auburn University Conference Center. Tommy takes questions from the audience and calls from fans listening on line or on the radio. Me and Roger usually go with our friends The Berringers. Then after TT, Roger and I will go hang out with our other good friends, Rick and Suzanne Bendinger (what is it with all the funny names??). They bring their nice motor home up for games and we'll go visit them for an hour or so. IT'S ALL SO FUN AND EXCITING!! You just have to be here to understand AUBURN FOOTBALL WEEK!! WAR EAGLE AND 6 MORE DAYS!!

What up with Fay?

Okay....Fay is like an annoying friend that won't leave!!! You know, they come to visit and stay and stay and when they do leave....they leave a fricking mess!! So, according to the Weather Channel...Fay has decided to raise her ugly head on the Gulf coast aka... Panama City, Pensacola..and..oh by the way...if you want to know about my prediction on Fay...scroll down to my blog from the 19th and see where I said Fay would end up.....DEAD RIGHT ON...told you I should have been a weather person. That means the outer feeder bands (sorry Megan....had to say it) will hit Auburn. We're already getting winds of around 10 mhp and it's along way away!! I'm driving down to our lake "house" in the morning and will probably be driving some of the way in the clutches of the beast....oh sorry...got a little carried away....but it will be raining pretty hard at the lake. Big Rog drove down there this morning to cut the grass before the rain. I better pull out my galoshes!!!

On a happier note......8 more days!!

Girls really do love to shop!!!

So...I took my granddaughter, Jordan, out clothes shopping tonight. We went to Belks and I told her to pick out some outfits. She loves the color brown so she got three new (you guessed it) brown shirts. She also got two pairs of jeans and a pair of white Capri pants. Then we went down to the Hallmark shop and she picked out three new web kins (kinda like beanie babies for you older mothers). Our next stop was on to Laredo's for some Mexican. I thought she was stuffed only because she said she was!! But wait....then she wanted ice cream from Bruster!! On our way to her house, we stopped by Granddaddy's and talked him, Nina and Uncle Tim Man who is visiting this week from Hawaii. When we got to Jordan's house (which is in the same neighborhood Granddaddy lives) Jordan wanted me to come in and see her room . She has a nice house and I love her room. She has her own bathroom in her bedroom!!! How lucky...it took me 23 years before I had my bathroom in my bedroom....and that was in a single wide mobile at 444 Ridgewood Village in Auburn in 1979!!

So what is up with Fay? That bitch just needs to peter out and stop reeking havoc on the First Coast. Talked to Jason today....he said it was raining pretty hard in Jville. Batten down the hatches Jason....Fay's there to stay!!

9 more days until my life begins!!! WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!!

Take Cover!!!!

Okay...so tonight my blog is going to center around Hurricane Fay which is traveling over the central part of Florida. As some of you know, my son lives in Jacksonville. I talked to him earlier this evening and he said that "Tim says" (that's Tim Deegan , a weatherman from a television station in Jville) the storm is going to go out into the Atlantic Ocean and intensify into an actual hurricane and hit Neptune Beach. Well...I told Jason from my experience with Hurricane Hugo from 1989....if Fay does make it out into the Atlantic...it will hit the gulf stream and move north of Jville close to Charleston. But my actual prediction is that is will peter out over central Florida and could turn west back into the Gulf of Mexico and possible hit land again near Pensacola!!! I always wanted to be a weather person......but a mother and a golfer suits me just fine!! WAR EAGLE........11 more days until my life begins!!!!

I CAN PLAY!!!

Played pretty well on Sunday...didn't start nearly as well as I did when the lightning stopped me the day before. My putting really was off. I was hitting it short and leaving a long putt for par. Got to work on that aspect of my game.

Found out this morning that one of my good friend's, Susan Baker from Gulf Shores, husband doesn't have colon cancer. That is a blessing as she had breast cancer last year and has made a full recovery. The doctors still need to check some spots on his liver. We are keeping them in our prayers.

12 more days until my life begins. We are tailgating with some new people this year. Hopefully I will get along with them. I can't believe football season is here already. Jason told me yesterday he might not be able to come to the first game. I'm a little disappointed as I love seeing both of my kids. But he did say that Christin will probably come so I know Jordan will be happy to see her.

Going to pick up Jordan today from school. We're going to go shopping and eat at our favorite place....Larado's. She really enjoys hanging out with me cuz she says I'm so cool. You know...I never knew either of my grandparents so I really don't know the proper way to act when you are one. I just act myself!! And people that know me really well say I'm one step away from the nut house!! Good friends....they are always there for you. Yeah..right...they would be the first to strap me into a straight jacket!!

Speaking of friends....my very best friend, Salem Murphy, completed a movie last year that is waiting to be released in the theaters. The movie is called "She could be you" and is about a little girl that disappeared from her home in Tampa several years ago. If it comes out....you have to go see it. Salem plays the grandmother. We have been trying to get together for a 20th friendship reunion this year, but our schedules seem to clash at every turn. I'm going to work on it really hard next year.

My mom's health is not very good these days. She has trouble walking and is in constant pain. We hired a lady that comes in to take care if her during the day. Mom came over to my house last night and ate dinner with us. She still wants to go to Venice, Florida one last time and I'm going to take her. She said she wants to put her feet in the sand one last time. Sounds kinda sad, but what would be even sadder is if she never got that opportunity. I took her with me to Denver last year to see Megan and she loved the trip. It was hard on her, but she really enjoyed seeing the mountains and Jon Bonet Ramsey's house in Boulder!!

Well...enough for now. Hope you have enjoyed reading my blog. Post comments if you want. At least I will know someone is actually ready my dribble.

Lightning stopped me!!

So...I went out this afternoon with a couple a guy for a round of golf. I was playing really, really well (for you golfing friends, 2 under after nine). We start to tee off on the 9th hole and lightning struck near the course. I didn't want to stop because I was playing so well. But..after putting out on the green....we headed for the clubhouse. You could see the storm off the the east and rain was falling hard out of the clouds. I went inside the clubhouse to wait out the storm. After about an hour...I left....met Roger and some friends at a restaurant. I just called the club to make a tee time for tomorrow and Tyler (the cute asst pro) said it NEVER rained there!!! Oh well...maybe I can continue my good play tomorrow. I'll update you all cuz I'm sure you will be waiting with baited breath!!!

Well...thanks to my daughter...I went and did it. I started my own blog. Now I can keep you all posted on a regular basis on my exciting life. Maybe it will give you all something to read before you go to bed....it should put you right to sleep.

I played in the WAGA (Women's Alabama Golf Association) State Stroke play last week and came in second in my flight. If I had only marked my ball instead of going ahead and putting out....I would have tied for first and maybe won it all in a playoff....but noooooo. I've got to work on that before State Seniors (yes...I'm old) next month.

My life starts in 15 more days. Football season starts on the 3oth of this month. I can almost smell the grills going now....it's smells like victory!!! Roger has been going to practice and said we are going to be really...really (and he doesn't usually say that twice) good!! I'm excited!! My granddaughter, Jordan is going with us. She is really excited also!! Jason and Christin will also be here along with Matt and Lisa(Jason's friends from Jacksonville) ....just wish Megan was...but believe me...her and I will be texting all through the game....Roger hates that...he says "why don't you just call her"....he know's nothing about texting...he's still in the dark ages. After the game...we are all going down to our lake "house" for the rest of the Labor Day weekend. It's Roger's way of getting Jason, Gabe and Matt involved in our remodeling. He's got them penciled in for some free labor!! Hey....they got to do something if they want to ride in the boat...right?

Well I guess that's enough for now...I'm sure you all will be checking back on a regular basis to see what excitment I have going on in my life!!
