The Date

Ok so I went on a date with my mom yesterday.
It was REALLY nice!!! NICE I SAID!
We had Brunch at the Flagship ( I called a 2 hours ahead of time and made reservations so that meant we got to sit in the revolving side.... wonderful view of the Ali Center).
So after we stuffed ourselves silly we went to see MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION OH my goodness that was a funny movie ( well and sad and MAD and shocked). A must see.
And OF COURSE the people sitting next to us brought their BABY to the movie. I KID YOU NOT! I was so into the movie I didnt notice it the baby made noise or not. But at the end of the movie Madea is talking to the audience and she is like WHY DID YOU BRING THE baby... DONT BRING the baby to the movies. I was ROLLIN! But they left early so they missed the message!

On our way out mom and I played.....

WAIT FOR IT...................


DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION <---you gotta see that link

yes ... I repeat my mother and I were hopping around playing Dance Dance revolution. IT WAS SO FUN!
Dude my mom is sooooooo cool! Of course she started off the game thinking that what she stepped on the guy would do ... then she was like "WHY is he stepping there I didnt touch that" then she realized she had to do the moves he made.
IT WAS AWESOME

Fun good times with mom

horrible news!!

Ok so I have some pretty bad news.... Apparently one of my eyes is bigger than the other. NO... I DONT THINK IT IS BECAUSE I AM SLEEPY! I think it is because I am deformed and my parents tried to cover it up from when I was young by making me wear glasses!

Speaking of ... I need new glasses. These are quite dated and I know people can tell. But they are so awesome! Aly has stepped on them twice and they are still in good shape!

I also need a new phone... I was thinking about getting the SLVR but I dont really like motorola. I like MY pHoNE! I love my calendar, my alarms, ALL OF MY contacts, my cool rings. I LOVE YOU SAMSUNG!!!! But I think we are growing apart. You have become to Highmaintance I need to move on. NO NO its me... I just cant afford you anymore... sure you dropped a call or 20 and people would say they cant hear me ...but I know it was their fault not ours!
PLease SAMSUNG you are making this much harder than it has to be. We need a clean break................ NO ....... WAIT ...........I changed my mind! I NEED YOU.
Sure I would be saving $50 a month if I switch ... but I wouldnt have YOU!

Driving in Louisville... a Visitor's guide

1. You must learn to pronounce the city name. It is "Loo-vull"

2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Louisville has its own version of traffic rules....the truck with the loudest exhaust goes next at a 4-way stop. The truck with the biggest tires goes after that. (Note: Blue haired ladies driving anything have right of wayanytime.)

3. To find anything in Louisville it is required that you know where the "Old Sears Building" is... which is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end.

4. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00. The evening rush hour isfrom 3:00 to 7:00. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.

5. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussedout and possibly shot.

6. You must know that "Jefferson Freeway", "Gene Snyder Freeway", "I-265", and "State Road 841" are the same road.

7. Construction is a permanent fixture in Louisville. The barrels are moved around in the middle of the night to make the next days driving a bit more exciting. (that is real ...not a joke!!!)

8. Watch very carefully for road hazards such as deer, skunks, dogs, barrels, cones, cows, horses, pot holes, cats, pieces of other cars, opossum, truck tires, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, and crows or vultures feeding on any of these items. (totally ran over some kind of something in the middle of the road JUST TODAY! I think it was part of a truck or a car....maybe a pedestrian?)

9. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been "accidentally activated".

10. The minimum acceptable speed on the "Gene Snyder Freeway (see above) is 85 mph. Anything less is considered downright sissy. This is Kentucky's version of NASCAR. (Trust me these people have guns YOU MUST drive 85... even if you are about to exit)

11. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously. (see comment above)

12. If you are in the left lane, and only going 70 in a 55 zone... you are considered a road hazard, and will be "flipped off" accordingly.

13. Ground clearance of at least 12 inches is recommended for city driving.

14. If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend.

15. If it's 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Kentucky Derby Festival is going on.

Guess who needed a ride from the airport

YOU MUST WATCH!

SOUP DU JOUR

it was hilarous!

Aly's Back

Mohamed Aly is back and had a lovely trip. Except he crossed 3 continents with two huge pots. Metal ones tho. he checked in EVERYTHING else just stuffing his brief case in his suitcase because the pots were so heavy.
Some friends of his cousin picked him up during his layover in Paris so he could sleep and eat, you know freshen up. So when he came back to the airport to board security stopped him and held him forever asking him why he left, where did he go, how did he know the guys (yes the guys he had never met before!) What he did while he was gone. If they gave him anything.
POOR thing! so he nearly missed his flight. They said the doors were closed and he could not board. He being the charmer he is did make the flight.
He arrives in Cincinnati and AGAIN security interrogates him! Then he finds out that his bags are sitting in Paris and will not be in the US for another 28 hours!
But calm, cool , collected Aly says ok gets his claim number and is ready to go home.
Crazy, short tempered Chantale would have been LIVID and told the airline they needed to send it here now and give me a clothing allowance until my bags arrive (even though I was going home)!

Well 10 minutes ago we got all of the forms ready to be mailed off for Aly to get his citizenship. I cannot take these problems anymore!
