Tuesday Tidbits
Since Monday was about memories I thought Tuesday would be about tidbits….
    Bubba got a job!! Woo hoo!! He is now a proud employee of FedEx/Kinko’s as a Associate Production Operator. He was hired on the spot due to his previous knowledge of printing…it helps to have grandparents that own their own printing company back in Texas. He worked for them when we lived there. He’s excited…and so are we!! So now he is settled in with school, which is going great and a job….now he needs to find a girlfriend, someone to go out with, and I think he’d actually like Georgia!
      Miss Priss has joined the ranks of eyeglass wearers. She really looks cute in them and she can’t believe how well she can see now! I tried to get her to get contacts, because she has such beautiful eyes, but she has a thing about eyes…can’t stand the idea of touching them, or even anything near them, so contacts are out for now. She only has to wear the glasses for driving and reading though.
        She’s pouring through the prom dress catalog’s that cram our mailbox everyday, looking for that perfect dress. She has found a few that she likes, and one that she thinks is “The ONE” but we have till April, so I’m sure her mind will change by then. I’ve been shocked at some of the dresses I have seen in these catalog’s. Some are so revealing that they are just plain sleazy! How could a parent allow their daughter wear this to a high school prom?

          Does this say Prom to you?
            I’m talking dresses with necklines cut down to the navel and backs cut all the waaaaaaaayyyy downnnn! One dress didn’t have anything but little teeny tiny strips on the sides holding it together. Yep, all you saw was skin. My question is, if you send your daughter to prom in a dress like that, shouldn’t you be held responsible for what happens to her? Ok, I’m off my soap box, but as you can tell, my daughter will have a beautiful, appropriate prom dress.
              In other news, I broke my streak of not falling down our stairs at our house. See when we bought this house, everyone said I’d be the first to take a tumble down the stairs. I’m the klutz in the family. But we have lived here about a year and everyone else in the house has taken a little tumble down the stairs, but me! I was so proud. Now no one was really hurt, just their pride and a little bruised. On Sunday I was at the top step, which there are six steps before a landing then there is a split staircase each with ten steps. I took my first step and my slipper went out from under me and I fell down all six steps to the landing. Yeah that was fun! I hit my head on the banister somehow, and thankfully nothing is broken, except my pride! But I am so sore I can hardly move! So my streak is over…I have fallen, but at least I could get up….slowly, but I got up!

                Monday Memories: Did I ever tell you about How I Met Big Daddy?

                  It is quite a romantic story. I had just graduated from high school and had been dating a fellow for quite some time. For graduation I wanted an airplane ticket to Texas to visit my aunt and uncle for a month. Little did I know that this trip was going to change my life.

                  I arrived in Texas and on my second day there a friend of my uncles happened to drop by. I found out later that my aunt had already showed him my picture and told him that I was coming to town for a month and maybe he could “show me around.” Now our first meeting was unexpected so I was actually in the kitchen cooking, in shorts and crop top, all sweaty and not looking the way I would prefer to meet a handsome fellow. But we hit it off immediately, and he stuck around talking and eating for a few hours. We made plans to see each other again. The sparks were flying, and it wasn’t the Texas heat!

                  The following week we went to church camp, which was planned already but since we had hit it off so well, I rode down with him. We were “the couple” that week and some of his friends came up to us by the end of the week told us we would end up married. Of course, we just laughed. But the last night of camp, Big D took my hand and told me he loved me and I knew in my heart that I loved him too…more than I thought I could ever love anyone.

                  During the following weeks we enjoyed spending time together but I had one piece of business back home to take care of, breaking up with my boyfriend who I left there. He didn’t take it so well and I felt bad doing it over the phone, but what was I to do.

                  Big D started talking to me about staying in Texas, and I really wanted to. So I got a job at the mall, working at “The Limited”…great clothes, by the way with discount, and as the time started to draw near that my parents were coming to Texas for vacation, and I was going to go home with them Big D had asked me to marry him. His exact words were, “I can’t let you go. I love you, marry me!”

                  So my parents got a BIG surprise when they got to Texas, and we took them out to eat (days after I let them get to know Big D) and we told them we were getting married. They were happy for us. We planned a wedding with me living in Texas and my folks in Chicago…that was fun! But Big D and I were married four months after we met, that was 22 years ago. As they say, it was love at first sight!
