So, the Sicilian Princess bamboozled me into being her assistant cheer coach, fashionably backing up her Head Cheer Coach position this year with Pop Warner. Now, my son has decided not to play football this year, so really, what are my ties? Well, the beautiful and talented Froggie, and the fact that, generally, I do what the Sicilian Princess says I am going to do. Have you ever pissed off an Italian? Me either, and frankly, I don’t really feel like starting right now either! lol

Today, that included 7 hours of fun boring stuff that went along under the title of Cheer Coach Instruction. Meh.

The cool parts? Getting to spend the entire day a) out of the house and b) with my bff and c) Mike who did some of the instruction cuz he was like full of personality and stuff.  Oh! And don’t forget my snazzy certificate and the cool ass T-shirt I got! 

/sarcasm

The bad parts? Most of the instructional portions were ran by a woman who was probably the most boring public speaker I have ever had the chore of sitting for 6 hours and listening to. Oh.My.Gawd. I was ready to pull my hair out by the end of it all! On top of that fun stuff, we had a 65 question test that we had to take based on the material covered throughout the day. Yes, I am serious.

At least they fed us or my poor ass would have gone hungry. Hungry and bored is not a good combination either. Just sayin’.

I am kind of excited about the cheer leading/coaching thing this year. I was, and still am, very disappointed that TB isn’t playing football, as I was looking forward to being a part of something again, for him and for myself, too. So, this should be a good time, dealing with the girls, teaching and mentoring them, and creating all kinds of divas in training! Seriously though, I do think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I am excited for practices to begin. Speaking of which, they start on Monday!! Remember last years hell weeks with TB? Well, cheer leaders have the same rigid schedule.

Starting Monday, practice is every single day for two weeks. School starts up on the 11th, creating a whole boat load of chaos within my house hold for the next couple of weeks. Pile on top of that some other things that are making life quite dramatic at this point in time. It’s a wonder I can function daily un-medicated. Srsly.

If you knew it all, you would buy me shoes, just because you feel so sorry for me.

Right now, I must go do laundry and create some master music mixes for our girls! 

Go Threshers!!!

These shoes totally rule too, trust me!

I can’t believe that I never found this site before, but omg, am I in love! Talk about a website made specifically for a diva!! I believe I have drooled for the past 24 hours over this site. Not just the shoes, but the clothes and the baubles they have to go with! If you are a pinup girl at heart, if you love the look, the retro feel, are down with the whole aura of everything retro, then you need to high tail your booties on over to Pinup Girl Clothing right now!

Srsly. Would I steer y’all in the wrong direction?

The second best part? Their stuff is reasonably priced too!  *drewl*

I think I know where my next few paychecks are going to go. Sorry iTunes. Time for me to share the wealth. bwahahahaha

They even have shit to buy for your man. I know. Amazing isn’t it? Perfection in a website. I never thought such a thing was possible. Every single time I click on the link, my heart starts thumping, the hair on my body stands on end, my heart races, my eyes well with tears of complete joy and the kind of excitement that I believed, up until this point, was saved strictly for children the night before Christmas. Then, I lay my eyes on the glorious beauty before me, and I can hardly breathe. I have to pinch myself every time to make sure I am not dreaming.

PinupGirlClothing.com brings tears to my eyes.

Y’all better go now before I buy everything up and there isn’t anything left for anybody else.

Yes, I am selfish like that.

There are times in life, when, you are somewhere and you swear the person speaking is speaking directly to you. No, not like a one on one conversation, face to face with eye contact kind of speaking to. I am referring to a public situation, of whatever kind, and you swear the person doing the speaking (to the crowd) isn’t really speaking to the group as a whole, but directly to you.

Kind of eerie, isn’t it?

That’s what happened to me today.

Sitting in church and Mark was giving his sermon. Mark is fantastic, BTW. Anyhow, he was speaking directly to me. To my heart. I cried the whole service. But it wasn’t the words, as much as what I was supposed to take away from them, that hit me so hard. On the table today, in case you’re just too curious to sit still, was 1 Corinthians 7:1-9.

I still cried when I came home, and even now, his words lie heavy on my heart.

No matter the delivery, whether it be a valedictorian speech at graduation, your pastor at your church, a motivational speaker at work, and sometimes even through music if your heart is listening hard enough, you will get spoken to, because it’s a message that you need to receive on whatever level.

It’s really surreal in a *movie* kind of way.

I can’t decide if I am glad I went or not. Usually it’s a no brainer, I am always glad.....

I walked up the door,
Shut the stairs,
Said my shoes,
Took off my prayers,
Turned off my bed,
Got into the light,
all because
You kissed me goodnight.

Found this while stumbling and thought I’d share! I’ve had kisses like that before.  *swoon*
