So, I haven't heard from you, but I'm gonna throw this out there .. . .

}Natasha Benningfield impressed me.  Maybe I'll try her out and give her some credit.

}David Cook is still probably gonna win. However, I'm all for Syesha showing up on broadway - she'd be GREAT!

}Trip to New Orleans is getting more and more exciting.  Rach is joining us, Aunt Jeanine and Terry are joining us . . .. now I'm only worried about being able to stomach all the wonderful food that will be there w/in 3 days and visit with everyone!  FUN< FUN.  My husband officially getting "initiated" into the Clark/cajun way . . . . I can't wait to take a ridiculous amount of pictures.

}In the meantime, I'm working on the house, packing, doing laundry, maintaining, etc. in order to make this trip as "stressless" as possible on the kids and animals.  *did i hear you laugh out loud?*  . .. anyway, laundry is now done, just have to work on the kitchen floor and pack up clothes, as all of the fun stuff (movies, kids' toys, etc) have already been put away to seem all that much more fun when they rediscover them 500 miles away from home!

}And my last few points, which are hardly worth mentioning:

1.  Its going to be between the Davids.

2.  Attention Class of 1995:  while cleaning the kitchen tonight, I heard these 2 songs in a row:  "Wonderful Tonight" - Eric Clapton; "Hard to Handle" - Black Crowes.  Can I hear an amen?!  Oh the memories .. . .

3.  Does Leona Lewis' new song "Bleeding Love" (which I really like, BTW) remind you of an Annie Lennox song?

}  Hang in there with us and pray, please, for our visit to Shriner's Hospital in Tampa on Monday for Blair.

}Speaking of Blair, she's been a bit slow in her verbal expression.  So, you can imagine my surprise when she VERY proudly chose to mimic a song for the first time yesterday .. . this is what we heard; " LOW< LOW, LOW, LOw., Low, low."  As in "Shorty got Low, low, low, low" as in, "apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur."  Are you kidding me?

}Oh, and lastly, look for a post coming shortly about my amazing savings from my last grocery trip!  I'll give you a hint:  I spent $64 and saved $58!!!!!  I'm not a math wiz, but that's pretty good, right?  Stay tuned to hear how I did it . . . .

You're too funny! I'm so happy for you to hang with your family and for them to meet YOUR family! Also, thanks for reminding me of Leona Lewis' name. I think I'm going to add her to my iPod! :) I liked her, Annie Lenox or not!

ok, are you doing the grocery game? I am totally trying it out too!

I am just not into AI like I have been before. I keep hearing David this and David that, but alas, I just am not pumped. I guess I liked Carly.

I wish I was going on vacation and I know you guys are going to have a blast.

Backing up pics...ha! I print them and scrapbook them and don't keep anything. Kim Thomas thinks this is hilarious and I tell her it won't be so funny if my house ever burns and I die in it trying to carry out 24 CM albums (cause that's ALL my pics literally)

Keep me posted on the visit with Blair!

Road trip!!! Oh lordy, the "quality memories". I hope you guys have a great time, and you get a lot of magazines taken care of in the car! (lol) We'll be thinking of you while you are gone... :-(
