Today is January 26th

...Only 11 months away from the After-Christmas sales!

I love that joke!

B-Ball, Globetrotter Style!

Last night, I would tell people that this is my first Harlem Globetrotters game, and the instant response?  "You've never been to a Globetrotter's game?  Wow!" ...Like I had two heads.  I was stoked to see my first globetrotter game with my two boys.  It was a Boys Night Out without Mom, much to the mother's delight to get us out of the house.

With snowcones in hand, we took our seats ready for shenanigans.  By half-time we had made messes with those icy treats!  The flavors stained shirts, pants and hands!

When my son exclaimed... "Oh no! They are losing!"  I laughed, and said "It'll be ok, somehow, I think they might make a comeback."

Check out the pics!

 

Just A Good Ol' Boys

Growing up in Texas, I was a HUGE Dukes Of Hazzard fan. I was five years old: I had the Dukes t-shirt, bed sheets, digital watch (which I ruined in the backyard kiddie pool,) had the General Lee Matchbox car... I still like to watch the reruns on TV. CMT used to do marathons!

So what do some of the ol' characters from the show do these days? They tour around and make appearances at fairs, car shows, etc. Rick Hurst was at the World Of Wheels show at the Shreveport Civic Center. Rick played Boss Hogg's Deputy cousin Cletus. He was on his way to the radio station to interview with KRMD's Hillary and Derek . I had to get a pic!  When he got here, he was suited up Hazzard County Deputy's gear!  Then he tried to arrest me... Where's my General Lee getaway car?

Taylor Swift on CSI

Because Hillary didn't alright hijack this today, I wanted to post on my blog today :) booyah!!

Taylor Swift is taking on a dark-edgy role on CSI (the original CSI) in late February or early March.  I hijacked some backstage pictures from the CSI set from "my people" in the field.  Check Taylor out with a brunette wig on.

Here's some more pics in a slide show

I'm looking forward to the show.  If you haven't seen her acting chops yet, you gotta see Taylor on SNL from last weekend.

The Ice Test

Whenever it gets REALLY cold, like it did last night... (Shreveport hit a low of 21 degrees!)  I like to sit some water outside overnight.  I know it sounds a little strange, but I like to see if it'll freeze.

Gosh the more I write about this, the crazier it sounds that I put water outside to freeze... I digress.

My experiment did indeed freeze... pretty solid with the exception of the center.

Here's a side view.... You could almost skate on that... if it were larger than a cereal bowl that is.
