A Pajama Mama

My 13 year old, Rayray, had so much fun live blogging for me, she's agreed to try it again! Have fun and be sweet, Rayray!! Hello again, everyone! Be sweet? Am I not always sweet? ;) Top 4! Here we go!!! Duets?! No way!!! This will be interesting! AHHH! What are you wearing, Adam?! What was up with that guy on fire in Slash's music video? Did his mama name him Slash on purpose? So many questions, so little time. Adam, (what song was it again?): Ahh!!!! Another Ring of Fire flashback...this one may be worse!!! (no offense, Adam...) I can't even understand what he's saying. "Keep a cooler, baby"? Is that it? Adam...you're frightening me again. I'm just a little girl...I'm calling my Daddy! Hey look. Kara and Adam have on the same jacket...that's not weird...

Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old. Hey people! I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger! Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight. Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? ( PajamaMama loved ...

Last week, we journeyed to Atlanta for some new and exciting experiences. We traveled with our friends over at Happy Home and their 5 month old. Rayray received two tickets to Celtic Woman at the Fox for her 13th birthday, so we decided to make a little vacation out of it. We all decided to go since I don't drive in large, scary metro cities like Atlanta. NO, I'm not joking....even though I lived there for two years. We stayed in the Georgian Terrace across Peachtree Street from The Fox Theatre . It is a gorgeous, 100 year old hotel. The Gone With the Wind movie premiere party was held here!! And when it first opened, it was THE place to see and be seen. We gazed into the ballroom windows and let our imaginations run wild. Here is Appledoodle posing on gorgeous marble spiral stairs in the Terrace. Beautiful Georgian Terrace The three heads waaaay up there belong to Hero and kids... long way up...long way down. We ate dinner here before the concert. We got there at the pe...

We had a girls weekend and I only have one picture taken from C10's phone to show for it! Ok. I guess techincally that's not all I have to "show" for it if you count the two cute tops I bought at Kohl's to wear to see Celtic Woman at the Fox. That's next week. Yes, I bought two dressy tops to wear to one concert. I'm thinking I'll stuff one into my tiny clutch and halfway through the concert, dart to the restroom and change tops?? Ok. Maybe not. We did have a fun weekend while the Daddy met his old friend at the Lake for a guy's weekend. I guess Hero deserves a guy weekend every once in awhile...I DID go on a girl's getaway cruise, for Pete's sake. Anywho, C10 spend the night with us girls.....while the Butter was at the grands. We ate dinner at Mellow Mushroom, scoured clearance racks at Kohl's, and watched Jane Austen movies until the wee hours. Very nice weekend. (Yes, Doodle is a pizza-eating machine.)

.....the Daddy is saying the blessing on St. Patty's day,before we eat our "green eggs and ham" (broccoli, bacon, egg scrambles), and he says, "And Father, we thank You for St. Patrick. I don't really know who he is or what he did, but I'm sure as soon as I say 'amen', the kids will tell me." And of course, they did. Twas funny. (Rayray is wearing a scarf bc she studied Jewish clothing for a paper in lit. and was practicing tying on a head covering...if you were wondering.)
