The big and little things

So, with Billy leaving in 2 1/2 months, we've been discussing all the things he's going to miss out on. Like - the biggies - Allison's birthday, father's day, my graduation from MTSU, our 12 year anniversary, Emma's first day of middle school. And then there are the little things, like the last Harry Potter movie, the season finale of his favorite shows, yard sales, going on the river with his dad, the Renaissance festival. He's going to be missing all this stuff, but this is all stuff that we're going to have to do in his absence. I don't think we'll be able to sit around idol. The busier we are, the quicker the time will pass. I'm even thinking of taking a couple weeks and going to my mom's just to be doing something.

So Emma got to ride last night at her 4H meeting. She had a girl holding the horse by a rope, but the only purpose was to help if something went wrong. Emma had to steer the horse, change directions, start and stop. And then she got to take the horse around a little coarse in the arena. She looks upset the whole time, but she was just really nervous. LOL! She told me later she was shaking all over. Bless her. But it was cool.

Speaking of cool, the Groundhog didn't see his shadow this morning. Looks like we're supposed to have a early spring. Maybe that will be the case since we've had nothing but blast after blast of non-stop winter for weeks. (well, I guess we did have a little break last weekend but whatever)

So, Billy and I play this game. We take the TV show listings on the guide of the cable box and pair up names of shows in order to create funny sayings. For example... at 7pm the movie "How to make an American quilt" comes on. Right after it the movie "Whatever works" comes on. So, on the guide it reads like a sentence and we put it together for "How to make an America quilt? Whatever works." Here's another... "Rebel Monkeys - Caught in the Act." Our favorites are show titles that are abbreviated. Like "Cop... Big Fat Liar" Here are some I jotted down tonight. "American Idol - Human Target." "Accused at 17. Dead at 17." "George Lopez, The Nanny." "Gone in 60 seconds Without a trace." "Little House on the Flower girl." "Romey and Michelle's mallrats." "Cougar Town, Off the map." and "Tootsie - some kind of hero!" See? Fun stuff!!! You should try it. : )
