Okay, so I messed up.  To see my latest update look at the comments section!  ERrrrrrrr, I am so Xanga-stupid.  But, my friend, Cassie Godfrey, did tell me how to add pictures, so here are a few of my current favorites.

This is my grandson, Blakd, making like a super cool monkey!

This is Ansley as the flower girl in Andrea Pettitt's wedding!

This is Jocelyn.  She was a bridesmaid in Andrea's wedding.

Below, is my newest grandbaby, Lindsey!  Chris and Jocelyn got her on the 4th of July.  She was born on Mother's Day.  She is now 28 lbs. and growing, growing, growing.....

And, since Scottie and Jordan so rarely give me any new picture opportunities, here is a picture of Scottie (age 12) (on left), Jordan (age 7) (far right), Tyler  (back) and Jenae (front) with the Alexander's friend, Julie.  This was taken in 1997 at the Tennessee aquarium!

Okay.  That's enough for the moment.  Who knows?  I might even get crazy and update again before the end of the year.  Ya just never know..............

Okay.  Scottie tagged me, so here goes with the "5 things" thing:

5 things I want to do before I die:

1.  I want to go on a cruise with Toddles

2.  I want to take painting classes and create one piece of art

3.  I want to see all three of my kids in love with God, and fulfilled in their relationships with their spouses, their children and see their lives full of purpose

4.  I want to weigh 125 again! (in a healthy way, not from being sick)

5 places I love:

1.  In the presence of my husband (mushy, I know, but wherever Todd is, I just want to be there)

2.  Home (I love being at home)

EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!  Okay.  You all know I am a Xanga-retard, but I have been tagged by Scottie, so I am going to give it the old college try.  I have to name 5 weird things/habits about myself, then I have to tag 5 other people.  Here goes:

1.  I cannot read a book without looking for spelling errors and I keep up with them.  If I find an error in the first 30 or so pages, I cannot complete the book.  After the first few pages, I'll continue but I'm on edge;

2.  I have to shower in the same order each day or it drives me nuts.  First shampoo, then conditioner, then shave left side first, right side next, then rinse out conditioner, then wash body.  Can't change it up.  Nope, no way.

3.  I cannot leave work unless my desk is completely clean and looks the same each and every evening.  If it is not that way when I come back the next morning, it REALLY bugs me.

4.  I don't like for my morning routine to be messed up:  First, get up at 5:00, take shower, wiggle Todd's foot to start waking up, iron Todd's clothes (pants first, then shirt), wiggle Todd's other foot to really start waking up, make Todd & Jordan's lunches, turn off Todd's fan so he will really get up, turn on the t.v. for morning weather and traffic, do makeup, do hair, iron my clothes, make bed, at 7:15 leave for work.

5.  I like for things to be even, like, if Todd scratches one side of my back, he has to scratch the other side to even things up; if he squeezes one foot, he has to squeeze the other to even things up.  If I straighten one sock, I have to straighten the other.  I just need to be balanced!!!

Okay.  Enough fuel for your laughter.  Those are a few of my OCD traits.  What are yours.  Tag to HopeisLove19, allabouttink, CryingOut4Him, Jenaedal and TLP82!  Let's hear from you guys.

Okay.  So we go bowling.  I'm professing that I am gonna beat the snotshart out of everyone.  I throw my first ball........GUTTERBALL!  I throw my second ball........GUTTERBALL!  Oh the humanity!!!!!!  God sure knows how to humble a girl. 

Anyway, we had a blast.  Todd ended up the big winnah, with Tyler only a mere 4 or 5 points behind him.  Show offs!!  It's been years since we have bowled and now, especially since the bowling centers are no-smoking and you can actually breathe and not come out smelling like a trashcan, I think we need to do that more often.  Hope my fam agrees.

Well, hope you all have an awesome Thursday.  I have a date night with my special guy tomorrow night, so I am really excited!

See you all later.....remember you are always in my prayers.
