SWAK- For My Sweet Loving Husband

Dear Ronnie,

You are truly the love of my life. I have enjoyed every minute of our life together and look forward to many more happy years. You are the most loving, caring, generous husband and father. I am truly blessed to have you as my husband. I love you for everything you are. You make me smile everyday and constantly make me laugh. You are always encouraging me and pushing me to do my best or better. I look at all we have accomplished and am proud of our marriage. Look at how many trials, hurdles, and obstacles we have overcome. That in itself is a Victory but the best part is that we did everything hand in hand, as a team. We work everyday to finely tune our marriage and that is the reason we stand strong. I love that after all these years I still can't wait to see you. I love that we can be happy just spending time together ( TV, movies, eating, riding). I look forward to our "dates"...even if it is just going to the tag agency. I just love being in Love with you. Thanks for giving me so many blessed and happy years and for always supporting me.

Love Always!!!!!

Danielle :x

Johnny Love

In honor of the March 5th release of Alice in Wonderland I am dedicating a post to my love Johnny Depp. It is no secret that I love him. I would love to say I have loved him forever but unfortunately it was late in my life that I realized his brilliance. However, since my discovery I have loved him faithfully. I deeply love him in the Pirates' trilogy and thought he was uber sexy in Public Enemies. I was so excited when I found out that he would be starring in Alice in Wonderland. He is not just starring in it but he is playing the Mad Hatter. How perfect is that. I have always loved the Mad Hatter and now my favorite actor is playing him. I am so excited to see Johnny apply his brilliance to the eccentric wacky hat maker. With that extreme happiness also comes a deep sadness. The sad fact is that I will be unable to go to the release of Alice in Wonderland. I know, I know, I feel like I am letting Johnny down but I will be nursing my real life love, Ronnie, during that time...I hope Johnny will understand. I know he will, he is so gracious and good to his fans. That is my main attraction to him. Don't get me wrong he is Sexy on his own but his "True Love" of his fans makes him even more so. There are people out there that will disagree and say he looks like a bum. Yes, there are times that his look is kind of (I'm sorry Johnny) grungy/frumpy/lackluster but even during those times there is something about him that oozes sexiness. He can be sexy without trying...and yes there are many times he doesn't try. On top of being a fantastic actor and being exceptionally sweet to his fans; he is also a devoted father. All of these things add to my love of Johnny. He is a true sweetheart. He is one of the only Actors that will stop and give autographs to his fans. I love that!!!! So here's to you Johnny!!!!!! You are One of a Kind :)

"Come on Everyone and do the SPRAIN"

(This is definitely going to date me)

A long long time ago, when the years began with 19, there was a show named "Saved by the Bell." It was a major hit amongst the tweens and teens of those days. One particular episode has been replaying in my head since last Friday. Curious? I'm sure you are dying to know what episode I am referring too. I am talking about the episode called "Dancing to the Max" but most people probably call it "the Sprain". Okay, Okay, the title of the post kind of gave it away. Anyway...if you have not seen the episode it is about a popular dance competition hosted by Casey Kasem that is visiting the MAX (the cool teen hangout). Everyone is signing up but Lisa ends up getting a sprain and her partner dumps her. So Screech comes to the rescue and they enter the contest and make up a dance called "the Sprain". So, why has this fabulous episode been playing in my head? Well, last Friday I was getting tour trained at OU for TSAB. I was on my second tour (FYI this tour was the backward tour..meaning it went the opposite direction of the regular tour) and we were almost done when disaster struck. I was walking and all of the sudden the klutz in me went full force and I rolled my ankle. It was of course very embarrassing and I just tried to play it off. Usually the only thing hurt is your pride and you just suck it up and move on but this particular time I had a bruised ego and a very sore ankle. I am still not sure if I sprained, strained or did something else to it but it still hurts. Ever since this traumatic event I keep picturing the scene of Lisa Turtle(Lark Voorhies). and her crutches doing "the Sprain". Oh well, I guess I will go nurse my ego and ankle.

Have a great day!!!!

The Monkey Jumped Over the Moon!!!!

Yes, I know you have always heard the Cow jumped over the moon but those stories are wrong. I am here to tell you it was actually a Monkey! I mean think about it... we have records of monkeys in space but not cows (that I am aware of). Ok, wise guy...I know what you are thinking...So, if it was a monkey, then why is the Milky Way not the Banana Way and why is it called the Moo-n and not the Mon. Okay, Okay those are good questions but in attempt to distract you I will stick my fingers in my ears and scream at the top of my lungs....LA, LA, LA. So, as I was saying a monkey jumped over the moon.

What convinced me of this? My 3yr old Son. Last night he looked up in the sky and asked, "Mommy, why is the moon a crescent?" I was shocked. How did he even know what a crescent was? So, I asked him exactly that. His response was, "Because, it is shaped like a banana." What eats bananas? Monkeys eat bananas. So, therefore, it had to be a monkey who jumped over the moon because I am pretty sure cows don't like bananas.

Yes, this is a ridiculous post. However, I think that we all need a little ridiculousness every once in a while.

Have a Great Thursday!!!!

P.S. If a monkey jumped over the moon....was it really 10 little cows jumping on the bed? hmmm....j/k.

Hmmmm.....

Hello-

Sorry I haven't blogged lately :( I have been pretty busy. Gina just turned 8 and school has been pretty intense lately. I have so much I want to say but I don't think the time is right. I hope that all is well. Try not to miss me too much. I will be back ASAP

Count down to V-day

Welcome to February!!! This is going to be a busy month. G's b-day and R and me's wedding anniversary. Not to mention Valentine's Day. Hmmm....Valentine's day...a day about expressing love. Out of this Love comes marriage and with marriage comes a baby carriage and maybe another and maybe.....ok no I am not pregnant....haha I bet that is where your mind was going, huh. You are probably all jumping for joy that I am not. After all, we are already blessed with the light of our lives. The two most beautiful and perfect troublemakers ever created....lol. The world could not handle much more perfection. In order to save the world we have decided we are done. To make it official we took a trip to the doctor today for the consult. (Don't worry I won't give details) We went and I have to say I was amazed (not that I should have been) how blunt "Man" doctors are......Anyway....so as you noticed the title of this post is V-day and I bet you thought I meant Valentine's day....nope that was not what I was referring too (there is 9 days till that V-day.) Have you guessed what day I mean....I bet you have....moving on....se·gue·ing into our next scenario....

After the doctor visit we went to the Tag Agency. Both our tags were due and we definitely needed to get them ASAP. While we were there a guy accidentally took a pen. He quickly noticed his transgression and swiftly returned it. As he was leaving I turned to him and said " you know that is a felony right." He gave me a weird look and kind of laughed and said "Ya I know, I steal pens all the time." Then hastily made his getaway. Funny thing is later tonight I committed the same sin....but I accidentally took a pen from the tax preparer (don't worry she got her pen back).

After the Tax Agency, we went to eat. When we were on our way home from eating this guy pulled up next to us and hanging from his rear view mirror was about 10 air fresheners (yep the tree ones...half red and half green). I turned to Ronnie and said, "That must be one smelly car." I proceeded to try to take a photo with the camera on my phone but I think he saw me and quickly pulled away...I don't blame him, he probably thought he would end up on http://www.weirdthings.org.uk or/http://failblog.org.

Speaking of failblog I find this one pretty amusing:

So does that mean I have to record all those pens I have been hording at fair value....lol

ex. Some guy was invading my personal space bubble on the dance floor and just wouldn't take a hint so he left me no choice but to pull a Danielle- the EMT's didn't know if he'd survive the ride to the hospital.

So were you able to do it?

This post was inspired by a Facebook status I saw.

Instructions were to go to http://www.urbandictionary.com/ and post the first definition listed.

So try it and see how accurate your name describes you.

I could not help but laugh after reading the definition of Danielle...I couldn't have put it better myself.

The only thing missing is this picture next to the definition:

Rainy Thursday

As you can tell by the title of this post it is Thursday and it is raining. Just like any rainy day, the atmosphere is gloomy and wet. Rainy days can be very depressing but I will say that today's rain is refreshing. Why? NOT snow (which has become increasingly more common lately). In tribute to this glorious rain and inspired by Gary Allen's song "Songs about rain" I have decided to list what songs about rain I would put on my IPod (if I had one) or my computer

1. Songs about Rain-Gary Allen(seeing how it was today's inspiration)
2. Singin' in the Rain (wouldn't be a list about rain w/o it)
3. The Thunder Rolls-Garth Brooks
4. Rainy Days-Mary J. Blige ft. Ja Rule
5. 3AM/Real World-Matchbox 20 (ok so they aren't really about rain but they do talk about the rain)
6. November Rain- Guns N' Roses
7. I Love A Rainy Night-Eddie Rabbitt
8. Don't Rain on My Parade-Barbra Streisand
9. Umbrella-Rhianna
10. I'm No Stranger to The Rain-Keith Whitley

Ok, I know that I left off some important ones like Purple rain and Raindrops keep falling on my head and Rain, Rain go away but you will just have to live....lol
