Introducing.......Hailey Jolynn

My oldest, and I do mean oldest-I have known Laura since the 8th grade when we were in camp together (almost as long as I have known Schme-6th grade), and dearest friend Laura and her husband have had a baby! A baby girl that is.......Hailey JoLynn ......


Adorable, huh? I even held her without dropping her, this is a big step up for me-I am completely unfamiliar with children...... Well she is wearing the wrong team, but you have to blame that on the parents....heheh! She was born on September 1st, and that should be noted its the same day as our potato matriarch's birthday and a day before mine, the child is destined to love mashed potatoes!

Congratulations Laura and Don!

Well if you missed Oprah last Thursday you missed a doozie......it created much discussion at my office last Friday amongst all of us girls and boy did we have allot to say! Basically it was all about cheating and why men do it-specifically focused around men.....they had expert after expert give all sorts of analysis and then even the bravest souls (the cheaters themselves) give their own testimonials......it was all the same, men cheat because they are missing something at home, but really their egos need to be inflated if you ask me.....and that's what some of the men said themselves......attention. It all boils down to the attention......really for both men and women, men may be driven by attraction and women by emotion but its all about attention and ego......

The second half of the show gave some statistics that I thought were pretty interesting.....specifically that 12% of men, no matter what will cheat and have no regrets or any remorse and more than likely will cheat again.....continually.....again and again......this is funny to me, although I know its not a funny topic but out of all of the men in the world I think that I have been involved with the majority of this 12% :) Hence that I am still lookin' for my main spud!

Lesson here-always listen to your instincts, its the truest voice you will ever hear.......

"Like A Rat on a Cheeto"

This my friends is one of the best analogies I have ever heard.....I was talking with Jess tonight on our nightly walk as we reminisced on where and how this quote came about......

Not a long story, but of course Jess and I were out one evening at the very ritzy Henry Hudson's, a place where every classy woman should be scene.....and while taking some red headed slut shots that were purchased for us by some very manly men at the bar.....they began to tell us that they would be on "that" "like a rat on a cheeto"-I actually stopped mid-conversation and said "excuse me did you just say a rat on a cheeto" which was followed by a very proud yes and this my friends is why I love Oklahoma!

Just thought I would type about what I used to do on Friday nights as I now get ready for wine and rented movies:) Happy Friday!

Happy Birthday to me!

It's my birthday-I am 31 today and have officially crossed over into my 30's......no more 30-I am onto the double digits that begin with 3.........

I think 31 will be my best year yet:) Maybe my spud will be "unearthed" after all:)

Happy Birthday to the Potato Matriarch!

Today is my mother's birthday and if I am The Potato Queen; she is our matriarch:) Even though she doesn't particularly like my blog (she doesn't understand why I would want strangers reading something that resembles my diary), I felt I should still celebrate this day on my blog-as I will be celebrating her birthday today-all day!

We aren't together this year for her birthday, she is on a cruise with my aunt (my aunt's gift to her), how do you top that gift?! Anyways they leave from Florida today for a 4 day cruise and my mom is super excited and very deserving of some time away to regroup and rest! They were hesitant to continue on their adventure because of Gustov, but decided to brave the hurricane anyway-so here's to you mom; my friend-my mother-my supporter-The Potato Matriarch of our family...

Love you mom and Happy Birthday-may this be your best year yet!!!!

XOXOXOXOXO
