First Timer

I may not be much of a blogger but I will give it a shot........so as my first blog.......I really stink at Fantasy Football. Yes, they

will always be this short. FatCrap Out.

Welcome to the most Fantastic Member!

Greetings Alien life forms! This is none other than the ruler of this blog. I've added myself as a member and need for Amber to email my hotmail account so that she can be added as a member. That way we can all write on our own account instead of logging in as Amy. this will make it where our public can actually tell who is writing.
Trey and I are headed to Mecca this weekend. That's right, we're going to College Station for the Texas A&M game. They are playing Baylor and have payback in mind for Baylor winning last year. Watch for us on TV because we will be 9 rows up off the field on the Baylor sideline! I'm sure they'll get us on camera. Amy isn't going cuz she is in Hartford at Foxwoods casino. WIN BIG!!! Go lady luck.
I just now thought that I can also invite Nathan to join this group. Hey, ChaserMan too. Wait, Candace, Clyde, hey why not make it the whole family??? Boy we could really have fun!
Good bye for now my faithful readers! Check back soon, I will post more often than the ladies have been!

Its A Jolly Holiday!!!

Today is Amy's 26th Birthday! WAHOOO! I HOPE YOUR DAY IS FULL OF SMILES, HAPPINESS, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CAKE!!!! I LOVE YOU! I WISH I WAS THERE TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU!!!

Sorry, I haven't blogged in a while. I haven't really been thinking "blog-worthy" thoughts lately. Besides my new-found passion for "LOST", of course. How fantastic is that show? Very, I tell you, Very Fantastic!! Amy's got us all hooked, so if it turns out to be a devil show.....you know where she gets to go!!!! Hahahahahaha! (that was my evil laugh)!! Oh, and THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION starts TONIGHT!!! Wahoo! The pinnacle of the "reality" season is upon us, ladies and gents. If nothing else, we can be thankful for that!! Amy and I will one day be apart of THE AMAZING RACE. We both have much too much confidence in ourselves...(okay, amy, maybe thats just me!). Nonetheless, someone has to win a million bucks.....why shouldn't it be us?? We are just waiting for both of us to lose these bellies, then we will submit our audition tape!!! Oh, I just got really excited about that!!
Done for now! Have a great day, Amy.........and the rest of you that accidentally stumble onto this page!!!

My "Rob" Blog

(Eh hem).....There once was a man named Rob. He lived in a Eutopia of frozen pizza and reality television, governed by the sacred bonds of the DVR. Husband to a loving (hehehe) wife. Father to one maaaad pirate. This young sir, Rob, was handed the "helper" quest in life. On any given day you could find him about the town, helping others in any way he could. Most week days, he helped the young with their education - although certain students thought such education was uneccessary (what do they know?). In the evenings he would help fans be aware of certain scores to certain sporting events. How thoughtful!!! For the score is very important in any competative sport.
He helped more youth with spiritual guidance. Sharing his faith in hopes to convey the grace of our Lord Jesus! The noblest of deeds!!
He built a legacy of being a wonderful 'family man'. Not to mention a killer gift giver!! Bravo!! The husband/father in this Rob, will never fade. His loyalty to his mother, father, brothers and sister are inspiring. I commend this Rob. And encourage him to continue his efforts of making this world a better place. I tip my hat and extend a rather large "GRACIAS" from all those whom his pleasantries effect!
I hereby proclaim this....The Day of Rob!!!
Rob - how'd i do????

No Time

Is there ever enough time in a day? That's how my week has been. Just running out of time. Time that is interestingly unaccounted for. Besides the 35.75 hours I spent at work, of course. Thank God for having Friday's off! Everything else is a big blur of changing diapers and eating.......or the other way around. Amy is in Colorado, in seclusion, for the rest of the week. She needs it. She's been one busy momma lately. She's so important to the Women of Faith livelyhood!! KING-RATS to her!!!
I heard an interesting thing on television last night. It was Beth Moore (who I happen to looooove), and she was talking about the soveriegnty of God, and how his very essence is unchanging. He will always remain loving, redeeming, and faithful just as he always has been......but his most comprehendable task involving the creation of man is to change us, mold us into what we were meant to be. I loved that thought. The Unchanging One, changes me. I could very well be pondering this alone right now, but it has captivated my thoughts....so my obligation is to blog it! I will pretend like there are thousands of you accessing this page at this very moment, cheering in unison for me to continue.....So, I must! I have to admit, I don't really like changing.....myself. I don't mind for my surroundings to change (I pray they do soon, in fact), or the weather, or the channel (I'm a flipper), or the gas prices to changed back to a dollar....I'm condusive to most environments. But for some irrational reason, I made up my mind one day (when I wasn't paying attention to myself) that I was already just the way I was meant to be. Like, here's how God made me...here's what you get. Lucky me, I must've thought that day! I see all these poor folks around me who could definately use improvement - and I find myself overly inclined to suggest where they should start. Could this be my super power? "Spiritual gift" some might call it?? Yeah, I agree. I've got a lot of getting over myself ahead of me. But the process has begun! I've been enlightened by the harshest of realities.....while I may have honed my craft of being ridiculously joyful and content with who I am in this present moment, its entirely possible that I was meant for more. I can see you scratching your head now. How so, you ask? Well, from my limited experience and knowledge, I'm under the impression that I am not here to simply enjoy myself. For if this were the only purpose of life, I've reached the end and I should be dead. And that just can't be right!
So, here I go.......to be more. Join me in my quest if you like! The more, the frickin' merrier!
I wish all of you front row parking spots!!!
*that was my start. I would usually only wish front row parking spots on myself. that was a big step!!!

Tired

I've always wondered who gets called for those polls and surveys that news agencies do when they give statistics about the current events. Well, I got one of those calls the other day and I was quite happy to participate. I know that sounds kind of weird, but I was glad to be able to put my two cents in. :) Even though I'm very tired, I'm up at 12:30 am working. Woo Hoo. I never thought I would be that kind of person, but here I am. I enjoy what I do very much, but right now there is not enough time in the day to get everything I need done. For example, my house is a mess. I am currently taking volunteers. Mom, Amber, anyone? You can reach me on my cell, or just show up. I'm not picky. I just saw another trailer for the season premier of LOST. In case you are not keeping track, it is in 8 days, and I'm extremely excited. I really want to go get the DVD of the first season because there is 8 hours of extra footage on it. So many questions... What is in the Hatch? Evil monsters, or Evil Scientists torturing all of the other people who have been so unlucky to find their way to this unique island? Why do the "others" want Walt, and what happened to Saywer, Jin, and Walt's Dad (oops, I forgot his name!) I also want to know more about Hurley's numbers. I guess I'll just have to be patient. Not so good at that, though.
I read earlier that there was a power outage in LA and it was caused by a worker who cut a wrong line. Man, I bet it sucks to be him right now.
I sometimes think it would be fun to have an English accent.

GWB

GEORGE W. BUSH HATES MIDGETS!! Okay, I just had to get that out of the way! I have just experienced a weekend of nothingness. Didn't plan it, just happened. I think its President Bush's fault for not sending me a memo of things I needed to do this weekend. I mean seriously, I had time enough to solve world hunger, rid Africa of AIDS and poverty, and manually suck up all the watery crap in New Orleans through a straw, disperse it throughout the Mississippi, and blow dry the city with the power of photosynthesis alone....But did anyone care to contact me??? Of course not. Probably because I'm a woman, who had a baby recently.....and George W. Bush doesn't like women who've just had babies. Oh dear! I've jumped on the bandwagon of blaming President Bush for everything that happens in the WHOLE WORLD. For the record: I LOVE GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!
On to more important things......Howie is now gone from BB6. All together.....ooooooohhhhhhh!!! That's right, no more hurricane Howie! Its just the girls left, and Janelle stands alone - but somehow managed to win HOH. Probably with a special call from a certain President of the United States. He is all-powerful, after all. We will watch tomorrow night to see who get nominated for eviction!! I'm so nervous.
The highlight of my reality tv season begins on September 27th (happy birthday, Amy) with AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION!!!! Wahooo. I couldn't be more excited. Well, maybe if I was Bush's next Supreme Cout nominee..........hmmmmm?....I think I shall submit my resume! Better go practice my fancy words.....TOOTALOO!

Aren't they cute? 

The Magical Land of Disney

I had the best day yesterday with my lil bro Chase. The poor thing had never been out of the states of Arkansas or Texas before I got him a traveling job. We got to Anaheim, CA and right when we got off the plane we headed straight toward the beach! We got out in the sand and Chase just couldn't help but put his feet in the water (even though it was freezing). Why are Pacific Coast waters cold again? Apparently they always are. Anyway he's enjoying himself so much at his first ocean sighting that a wave hits him and gets half his shorts wet. Oh well, he didn't care. We drove around for a while looking at different spots, then went to check into out hotel. 10 minutes later we were off to DISNEYLAND! 2 firsts for Chaserman in one day! I had never been either and was quite pumped about it. We had a great time, got to ride all of the rides we wanted to. Although every time I turned around I kept thinking or saying the Trey would love to be there. He loves all things Disney, and I'm sad that he couldn't come with me. Oh well, I got him a pirate hat and flag, so he will be on top of the world! Today was all work, boo hoo. And I'm probably going to miss BB6 tonight. Please don't leave Howie! Unlike Amber, I think the Star Wars thing is endearing! HeHe! I also just remembered that the season premier of The O.C. comes on tonight! WAHOO! Please let my DVR record it, Please let my DVR record it! Hmmmm. What else can I talk about, my brain is sort of fried....long day and will have another one tomorrow. Night Night

Katrina 2

Katrina makes me sad. I once knew a girl named Katrina. She was nice. I bet she's sad that this disaster shares her name. I am in compliance with Amy's disgust for the blame game. I mean, seriously, did George W. Bush huff and puff over the Atlantic until this hurricane was whipped up? Come on! And if I recall correctly, he actually declared a state of disaster BEFORE the thing ever hit, urging the Mayor of New Orleans and the Govenor of Louisianna to issue a mandatory (which usually means "you have to") evacuation. But they thought it best to wait until after the hurricane to do so. Good call guys! Its just unfortunate all around. I'm sure everyone is doing the best they can now. An operation like this will never go smoothly, ever, anywhere in the world. Its unreasonable to expect that. The only thing I'm loving about the news lately is that I don't hear about Iraq every three seconds. And how bad we are for being over there. Yes, those Iraqi's would be much better off under the sweet little thumb of Saddam. He's a teddy bear, really! Harmless, right? DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED!SIDE BAR: I wish we Americans got along well enough to not rip each other off at the gas pump! I'm gonna have killer buns and thighs once I have to start rollerblading everywhere! Then the price of replacement wheels will go sky high! Will it ever end? This has to be the End Times! Isn't there something in the bible about the Anti-Christ raising gas prices beyond imagination? Not sure, I'll have to look that one up. Maybe dad can help me with that!BB6 update: Raise your hand if you thought Ivette's "girlfriend" (ugh, just choked on that) was cute.......anyone?.....hmmm? Didn't think so! Howie...psssst...you're 34, you should have your infatuation with Star Wars and the Jedi Force under control by now. JANELLE RULES! Although she has been very sneaky, she plays the game well. Plus, she's the blonde bombshell, she has to win, right?!! So sorry April! At least you're from Texas! That's a plus. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.....I have no thoughts on her.......except her gums are a big distraction for me!Secrest, OUT!

Katrina

More than a week later, I am still glued to Fox News Channel or any news outlet regarding what is going on in the devastated areas of the Gulf Coast. What saddens me most is that it has taken this long for the media to focus on the part of the story that actually matters...the people. For a week all I have heard is "The Government has failed", "The President has failed us", or my favorite "If this happened to White people...blah, blah, blah!" The fact is that No One could have possibly know what it would take to get supplies into these cities, or the people out. Plans were in place, but when it came down to it, it just wasn't enough. Nothing like this has ever happened in our history. Why do people want to resort in pointing fingers instead of shutting their mouths and just doing something about the situation? I just got through watching Oprah, and of course, as only Oprah can do I saw some gut wreching stuff! The people lying dead on the side of the road or in the middle of the street, just covered up by sheets because no one has the time or anywhere to put them. Right now people are refusing to leave a city that has been declared uninhabitable, so the law enforcers have to focus on making them leave before they can take care of the deceased. This is probably the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. I just hope that somehow this country "the media" can start focusing on rebuilding and getting these people back on their feet, rather than focusing who was to blame for a NATURAL DISASTER. :)
I know that there is a reason why this occured and where it occured. But I also know that good will come of it. In tragedies, people are searching for something, anything. It is a perfect opportunity for the Christian community to reach out.
I have much more to say and have actually said it to my family in the past week, but that's it for now. I'm up way too late and I have to get up at the crack of dawn to catch a flight to Sunny California. :) I get to take my little brother to see the ocean for the first time. How fun is that? Oh yeah, and I have to work. And, Amber, BB6 was great tonight! Go Janelle! We will discuss tomorrow how weird it is that the "Friendship" still talks about "Cappy" (GAG) and does everything in honor of him. It gives me the heebie jeebies.

WELCOME

Amber:
I'm a blogger!!!! Wahooo for me!
Tireless rants of an absurd sort - that's my kind of fun!!
Amy, you are so gracious to let me join you in your quest to divulge the stupidity of the human race! If only there were room for my info in the "profile"....maybe one day! Or maybe I will blog my profile!
To all our fans (temporarily limited to family, but all are welcome to adore us), I am Amber, Amy's little sister. Not so little anymore, due to my precious 2 month old son, Bryson. I've been married for two and a half blissful years to Nathan. He's a big tree....and my favorite man God ever created! Indeed I do live in Arkansas, siiiigh, with hopes of making my exit very soon and returning to the promised land of my heart, the Dallas Metro-Plex!!! And I got some killer new sunglasses over the weekend. I fully expect my picture to be in US Weekly this week - they are that hot! Maybe I will take a picture of them and post it! I LOVE THE SUNGLASS HUT!!!
Who's pumped for Big Brother tonight??? Can I get a "hoo-haw"?!!

How cute is Bryson? 

This is Trey, just relaxing!
