Didn’t you know?

I’m a super hero. Everytime my eight year old sees my computer on a page that says “Magnolia Mom” he says “Mag-NOL-ya Mom” the super hero. I seriously need to record him saying it, because just telling you this doesn’t do it justice. It’s just hilarious. He said Magnolia Mom is such a great name for a super hero that Dad needs to get a name like that!

Catchin’ up

I guess I’ve been pretty MIA lately, or at least I feel that way. I feel like I haven’t had a real post in awhile. Last week, I (barely!) survived being a “single parent”, while Mr. Mag was in San Diego for the week. I’ve been using all my free time making movies from the 180+ minutes of video footage that I’ve had and forgot that I hadn’t dealt with. If you’d like to see those, they’re on my family site. Don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like to see those. I just like to know who’s looking at my family site.

Besides that, I’ve been busy with soccer season starting, have Mr. Mag back in town, and stuff for work. I some more stuff to tell ya, but I don’t remember now. So for now I’ve had a bunch of stuff I’ve needed to post so that’s what will follow (up above)

Friday Feast #15

Appetizer
Measured in minutes or hours, how much exercise have you had in the last week?
uhh…zero:-(

Soup
If you had to change your blog title to something else, what would it be?
That’s a hard one. I really like my name now, but occasionally I see others that give me great ideas for new blog name. I like gigglebox.com, but I’m not sure if I’d ever use that one.

Salad
Name one television show you watched when you were 9-12 years old.
I’ve watched I Love Lucy all my life.

Main Course
If someone gave you $50 to spend with the one condition that it had to be educational, what would you purchase?
I’d use it on books for my classroom library.

Dessert
Do you tend to prefer dark colors, neutral shades, or lighter/pastel hues?
Well, it depends. For my home, I like neutral shades mostly. Clothing I like a mixture of all colors. Cars I like bright colors.

I knew I loved…

Rachael Ray, but now that I’ve watched 4 episodes of Rachael Ray Talkshow in a row (catching up from this week) I love her even more!! I know people either love her or hate her, and well I’m one who has been mesmerized by her silliness!

Where I Am From

I am from paper clips, from Paper Mate and Cross Pens.

I am from the the red brick house with white metal window shades, shaggy red and blue carpets, orange and lime tile, and moth ball odors.

I am from the Ivy, Marigolds, and pine cones. I am from the Oak trees, Pansies, and Cloves.

I am from big Christmas traditions and round rosy cheeks, from Wells and Dennis and Harris.

I am from the calm, cool, and collected and understanding, sensitive, and forgiving.

From “Your hair is so pretty” and “Education is your top priority”.

I am from the United Methodist Church, where I have learned to try and be a steward of God.

I’m from Glenview Hospital and England, chili and sausage balls.

From the a Great Grandmother who was short and wore high heels everyday of her life, the Grandmother who was a tomboy, and the Grandfather who dreamed of being a Texas Aggie.

I am from priceless stacks of photo albums, that are probably yellowing in an attic somewhere.

(I started this awhile back. Template found here.)

Friday Feast #14

Appetizer
What was the very last song you listened to?
Uhhh…not sure!

Soup
What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from?
Circuit City…It’s a LONG story!

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made?
After 2 kids and about 50 pounds, I’d say a 5 and the only reason it’s that high is so that when people look at pictures they know the “mom” exists in my kids life! Now before kids, it was around a 9! After all, my Dad was a photographer and used to take pictures of me every chance he got.

Main Course
Besides a bookmark, what is something you’ve used to keep your place in a book?
a picture, a coupon, an index card, a pencil

Dessert
Name a food that you like that most people don’t.
squash
