Shopping Spree Snafu---When shopping turns ugly!
Yesterday, during a girls' afternoon out shopping, I started to try a pair of corduroys on Gillian Grace, only while attempting to pull them up, I inadvertently catapulted her forward, causing her to plop face first on the store's floor. Thank goodness my mom was with us and tended to a bleeding and hysterical GG, while I ran with the sweet store clerk to the back for paper towels and ice. Judging from the amount of blood present upon my return, I was almost certain that our next stop would be the hospital. Fortunately, after a few minutes the bleeding subsided and Gillian Grace, bless her heart, began to calm down.

Now, my precious girl looks like she just auditioned for a role as Rocky's next sparring partner and I'm no longer in the running for World's Greatest Mom!
Warning: Icky, yucky, and yes there's blood!
Thankfully, the blood was worse than the actual fat lip!
Five Question Friday
1. What is the first nightmare you remember?
For the most part, my dreams are a peaceful, yet wonky, synopsis of my day. But, I can recall several sleepless nights tossing and turning after seeing bits and pieces of Stephen King's Children of the Corn as a kid. And now that I'm older, I have a reoccurring nightmare involving my mouth, where all my teeth turn to mush and fall out.
Penny for your thoughts on that one!
2. Even if you're not a sports fan, what's your favorite sport to play/watch?
This is an easy answer, college football is my favorite sport to watch, hands down.
Go Gators! Fingers crossed that we bring our A game to ol' Rocky Top this weekend!

3. If you could pull off one piece of trendy fashion, what would you want it to be?
Being a short stack at only 5'4 (and a half), I'd love to be able to pull off a pair of knee high boots. But I'm not only a little vertically challenged, I also have pretty
4. Did you make good grades in school?
Not to toot my own horn (Toot! Toot!), but I was a great student for most of my academic career. I earned my first C in Intro to Financial Accounting during my sophomore year of college; and have avoided anything higher than third grade math ever since. Needless to say, I leave the bill paying and account balancing to my husband.
5. What magazines do you subscribe to?
I love magazines! I subscribe to US Magazine (my favorite), Real Simple, Rachael Ray, and Coastal Living. And though I don't technically have a subscription, mom sends along all her Southern Living magazines after she's read them. Only problem is, I wish I could find more time to actually read!
What do you have planned this weekend? Make it a great one, y'all!
