Just got out of the shower and can't wait to cut my toe nails! LOL!!

Let's talk about Facebook. We've all heard of it and most of us have given into its seduction. It is the social network of my generation. Which has now become our parents generation. Which is fine cause if I were old I would want to laugh at the homecoming queen that got fat and ugly too.

Because I just said that, I am bound to be fat and ugly. Karma.

Anyways, the worst part about the FB is that some people get obsessed. Now you might guess that my weakness is posting pictures. I'm the one at the party with the camera and I have pictures from anything and everything online. And luckily my lifestyle makes these pictures acceptable for parental viewing. So, yes, we all have our weaknesses.

The worst Facebook-obsessers, though, are the Compulsive TMI Status Updaters. It's a special breed of Facebookers that are convinced we all care about their hourly activities.

Now don't get me wrong, I've been known to update the status quite regularly. Hourly? Not so much.

My updates are more along the lines of "Bob set the oven on fire" or "Running around in a onesie" and not so much "Can't wait to kiss my .:*wOnDeRfUl BoYfRiEnD!*:. XOXOXO" or "Gym then shower then lunch then shopping then talking on the phone then dinner then kissing my .:*wOnDeRfUl BoYfRiEnD*:. then bed!!"

Or even better, the CTMISUs that express their emotions openly via status. For example, "Can't believe he would do that with her when he knew that we were like totally dating. I can never trust another guy again." Or the ever popular, "Thinking of HIM."...we know you're not referencing God. Or the more nauseating but ever so obnoxious, "I think I have the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. How did I ever get so lucky to meet such a wonderful boy? Love you honey bear! Kisses!"

We get it. You managed to find the one man that enjoys watching back to back episodes of Say Yes to the Dress popping Bonbons and sipping apple martinis. Maybe you should think about that one...

Anyways, you know who I'm talking about. And you know if you're a CTMISU.

So to all you CTMISUs out there...we just really don't care. Unless something remotely interesting and out of the ordinary happens, don't update your status. Just let it sit there. Even press "clear" if it's outdated. If this seems like too much to handle, I'm positive a Facebookers Anonymous group will be starting soon if it hasn't already. So good luck to you.

..."Just updated my blog, now pulling the covers up to about chin height and turning off my light! Maybe rolling over and then off to sleep! LOL. xoxoxo"

Left side! STRONG SIDE!

I'm sitting here on my couch watching my most favorite movie ever, Remember the Titans on TV when I decide that I actually need to watch the whole thing commercial free so I pop in the DVD.

I can't help but remember how my high school team, the Northview TITANS, would chant "We are the Titans, the mighty might Titans!" whenever we got a first down (luckily it wasn't often enough to get annoying).

Because of my small large obsession with T.C. Williams finest, I was pretty pumped to see The Blind Side over Thanksgiving break. Have you seen it? Cause it's awesome.

Mix of races, determination, over coming circumstances and football pretty much make up the recipe for a good movie to me. Extra credit if it's a true story.

So with that movie critique, I will leave you with some incredible quotes from Remember the Titans so that you'll be inspired to watch it.

"If we get to Rev once, just one time, I swear to God I'm gonna hit you so hard, by the time you come to- oooo boy you gonna need a new haircut!" -Bertier

"Man I just gave your momma a piggy-back ride and she weighs twice as much as I do!"


"I don't want them to gain another yard! You blitz... all... night! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans!" -Coach Yoast


And maybe my favorite of all time...


"You're a Hall-of-Famer in my book"


Now back to letting Bertier and Sunshine help me study theology...

This just in: North Pole relocated

My house has now turned into a winter wonderland. Santa came very early to decorate 2157 in the 72 degree weather. Not only do we have a four foot christmas tree but we all managed to return after Thanksgiving with boxes full of our moms' old Christmas things.

Included:
- a string of M&M themed Christmas lights
- an awkward amount of garland that almost covers our front porch
- wreaths that hadn't surfaced in a number of years
- multiple wooden gingerbread men made many years ago by my grandfather (thanks gramps!) that are now hiding in various places around our house
- an extra slippery rug that caused some awesomely embarrassing moments before it was angrily thrown into a corner


And because we knew we had to add our own special touch, a night was spent cutting out snow flakes and tacking them to the ceiling to complete our North Pole motif. So if you drive down South Milledge anytime soon, try not to be too jealous. We're pretty legit.
