Blog cartoon time!

Gettin' over it.

Well I'm finally getting over this stomach bug that hit me like a ton of bricks Monday night. Ryan was sick with it all weekend and I guess it was mom's turn. I have never, I repeat never felt so bad in my life! I have figured out that as you age it is much harder on your body when you get sick. So my advice to everyone is....DON'T AGE!

Back in the Day...Electric Avenue

It is so funny this morning Brian was working on the new bathroom addition and we turned the tv to Sirus radio and were listening to 80's music. Then Eddy Grant came on singing Electric Avenue. I immediately had a flashback to around 1986 I think. We would always take an annual trip from WVa down to stay with my mom's friends in Columbia, SC. We always had a blast there. They had 3 kids our age and a pool. The weather was always warm there. Anyway...I remembered the kids from their neighborhood and all of us standing on their front porch...we were in two lines on each side. One of the boys had a boom box...it was huge. We turned on Electric Avenue and took turns going down through the middle of the line doing crazy 80's dance moves like the worm, the moonwalk, etc...It was a blast!

From here to there.

Where Dad is sitting while chatting with me just a few minutes ago online...St. Maarten.



What it's like here in East TN...getting very very very cold! Wish I could trade places with him if just for today!

Love this!

Deer Down!!!

Wow this has been a heck of a weekend so far! Doug and Jen's party on Friday night was a HOOT! Had a blast at that! Then Saturday morning another blast was heard...this one coming from Brian's Knight Muzzleloader...bagged this beautiful 8 pointer. He was a happy man! We spent the whole day preparing the meat and getting it into the freezer. Way to go BRIAN! Congrats honey! Special thanks to Ed for coming up and butchering it for us.

WVa Visit

Last weekend I got to drive up to WVa for a really nice visit. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful the fall colors were up there. It was amazing, especially driving up I-77 when you are aproaching the tunnels. You are surrounded by mountains just bursting with awesome colors! God has truly blessed us with a beautiful world to live in.

Ryan and I had a nice visit with my Mom and Chewy. Mike was gone to see his grandbaby go trick-or-treating for the first time. We went to eat at mine and Ryan's all time favorite Chinese Restaurant (Young Chows)...it is the best we've ever eaten anywhere hands down. Ryan got to visit his favorite music store on Valley Dr., by the time we left they had offered him a job. It was a Great time. I wish I could do that more often.

I am so proud!

Wow! This election truly was history in the making and I am so proud of this country and my fellow Americans for getting out there and voting and making their voices heard. Now let's get behind the new President Elect and bring this country back from the downward spiral we have been in for the last 8 years.

Halloween Party 08

Halloween party 08 was a blast! Whitney had a houseful of people. In attendance were me, Brian, Ryan, Rhonda, Brit, Alex, Whit and Daniel, Pat P., James, Dustin and Jessica, Junior, and Stephanie and Andy came by for a bit. We hads tons of food, drinks and laughs.

The latest predictions.

I hope the latest predictions are true. I honestly believe that if Obama gets beat he won't be beat because of McCain...he will be beat because of ignorance.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

My TV Boyfriend

If you haven't had a chance to check out the new TV show Sons of Anarchy on FX it airs on Wednesday nights here and there's an encore on Sunday nights. You really should check it out if for no other reason but to see Charlie Hunnam who appears on this show. As Gigi always says he's my "TV boyfriend". He is definately a bad boy! Gotta love it when he rides that Harley!

Halloween Funnies!

Halloween Partying

Best Graphics - Top Comments

Halloween is just around the corner and I just wanted to share some of my all-time favorite ideas for Halloween entertaining since Whitney is having her big extravaganza I figured I’d share some of the things I may do to contribute to my best buddy’s party!

I love to serve fresh veggies or fruit using a hollowed out pumpkin as a bowl. You just cut off the top and clean it out, leaving the top in a jagged edge design. Use little mini pumpkins to hold dips! It’s so cute.

You can also use clear plastic gloves to freeze ice hands to throw into the punch bowl, it keeps it cold and looks great!

Also you can make great centerpieces for your tables by filling vases with dried flowers, brown leaves and empty branches, use a black ribbon bow around each one.

A fun game that is an alternative to bobbing for apples is to hang apples by their stems with thread from the ceiling and let party goes try to see how many times they can bite them.

Take lots of Halloween photos of your guests. If you have a party, leave disposable cameras around so everyone can take photos.

All of these ideas are easy and inexpensive. Maybe you can use them at your next Halloween event. Have fun!

The Apple Pie Gang

Pictured above is the "Apple Pie Gang"...we held a large club meeting at my house last night. In attendance were...Me, Brian, Ryan, Pat, Doug, Mike, Whitney, Daniel, Brittany, Rhonda, and James. We celebrated the making of a rather large batch of yummy "apple pie" and if I told you the ingredients I'd have to kill ya. Ha ha! It really was a ton of fun! By the end of the night several people were singing, and playing a variety of instruments from the guitar to the spoons! It was hilarious! Another crazy fun time at the Kendrick house.

Real Friends

I was reading the news on my PC this morning and ran across a little article that said, "You can expect to make 363 friends during your life but you'll only be able to call six of them your true friends, a survey has found."

It made me think about my circle of friends and how much I treasure them. Take my best friend for example. We talk everyday, most times more than once, we have fun, we laugh with each other everyday, I mean it...we laugh with each other every single day, sometimes so much it hurts! We tell each other secrets we don't even share with our husbands and never doubt that we can trust each other. I wouldn't trade her for the world and I know she is a true friend for life. She isn't superficial or fake, it isn't hard to be her friend, it is just comes easy.

But I disagree on the number this survey came up with. So who are my TRUE friends? I'm not going to count family but my mom is definately one of my besties for sure and my hubby of course. That would be Whitney Woo (mentioned above), Cheri (who I've known 20 years), Kelli (I've known all my life), Pete (I've known my whole life as well), Doss (a co-worker), Beth (known since high school), JR (my neighbor who is true thru and thru), the 2 Pats; Pat K. and Pat P. (both just top notch guy friends), Gigi (we've known eachother since high school and had our babies together, we've had our ups and downs but we've always known we'd be there for the other in the end), James (who is another top notch guy friend), and Kim (who I miss a bunch and who always loves to hear about my soap opera family struggles and keeps everything to herself), Tina (my hair stylist for 18 years...she's a wonderful human being), and David P (who I compare notes with about our terrible teens everyday). Hey...I think I've gone way over 6...let's go back and count and see how many are in my circle of true friends. That's 14...and I feel like I've left someone out...I hope not.

Well...I guess I have to end this post for now...Whit is on her way with a Pumpkin Bagel for me from our favorite place downtown. I love my friends!
