Keep Yo Hands Off My Mama....

Hands-down...the best Super Bowl XLIV commercial!

Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! What a silly day...but not as silly as Kazoo Day..which was last week. For whatever reason...I look forward to Groundhog Day. As if a stinkin' groundhog REALLY can predict the weather! This year our local groundhog climatologist, General Beauregard Lee predicted an early Spring! Hello warmer weather...bring it on! Though the more famous Pennsylvania resident groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter (what does he know...he lives up North?). Sorry Phil, I'm listening to the Georgia groundhog, General Lee. Are you ready for Spring?

Tiny update

Well...I'm employed. I get paid to blog, tweet and facebook all day! Its pretty cool, but boy am I busy! Where did January go?

Here's a little video from a cool website called thefuntheory.com (an initiative by Volkswagen). Here's what they say, "This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better."

The piano staircase is my favorite Check it out

Happy Friday!

Job Hunt, etc.

I applied for a job today (cringing aren't you?) Yes the job market is tough right now but never fret, this job sounds so fun! It involves work with Social Media and blogging. Yes, I admit, I haven't been the BEST blogger. I don't blog nearly enough for all four of my readers. Though my time in front of a computer has become very limited since being unemployed. (I have a good excuse.) Being unemployed hasn't been my idea of fun and this particular job sounds GREAT!!! Please cross your fingers for me!

On another note, the peacock Christmas tree has been a hit. The Blackmon's are having a peacock Christmas this year for sure! This month has gone by entirely too fast and I look forward to a less hectic 2010!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A good laugh...

If you need a good laugh on this rainy Wednesday...click HERE to view awkwardfamilyphotos.com! This website is guaranteed to make you chuckle. Maybe even make you appreciate how 'normal' your family just might be. I could spend hours looking at this little treasure trove of strangeness...enjoy!!!! Here's a sneak peak....And if that fine photo didn't intrigue you...hopefully this will...

Who does that?!?!?!?

Thinking about Christmas...already?

I'm not one of those who generally celebrates any aspect of Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving. (Though I do celebrate Christ year round) No Christmas music, no Christmas decorating...none of that...until after the turkey and dressing have been eaten. Much to my surprise I've found myself already contemplating Christmas decorating this year. I've totally gotten into this holiday decorating thing. Our house will be totally decked out for Thanksgiving thanks to TJMAXX and Ross (we've volunteered to host about 30 family members for Thanksgiving dinner this year...we may regret this...I'll let you know Nov. 27th!) So on October 1st I hung my "Happy Halloween" candy corn on the front door with a big goofy smile on my face. Cory just laughs at me! I already had a fall "spray" hanging on the front door....but I re-located it to the kitchen wall for the month of October so I can proudly display my Halloween decor!!! Back to Christmas....Cory and I already have tons of ornaments, nativity scenes, Christmas bows (I've made solely for tree toppers...only two at this point...hey...a girl needs options). We really need nothing for Christmas decorating other than a fresh Christmas tree to help celebrate the birth of Christ. BUT...it hit me the other day while I was getting ready for work...what if I incorporate the theme of our wedding (peacocks/peacock feathers) into our Christmas decorating!!! Then it hit me...WHY am I already thinking about Christmas!??!?! This is so unlike me! I think this could be really fun and unique. A Christmas tree....with peacock feathers and some fresh garland on the mantle...with a few peacock feathers!! Click here to see a photo of some other genius' Christmas tree. I'm sure some of you are cringing at the thought of not using red and green....and that's OK. I'm totally pumped about it!!! We have tons of left over peacock feathers from wedding decorations....so no money spent there. Now if we can get through the pumpkins and turkey...Happy Birthday Jesus...bring out the peacock feathers!

Rewind

Today is one of those days when I'd like to start over....hit rewind get back in bed...and start my day over...suppress my emotions and hope for a better outcome. I hope I'm not the only one that this happens to...ever have 'one of those days'?
