I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Runaways, Lingerie, & Leefus... WINNING!



Days #167 & #168:



These will be quite possibly my two funniest stories to date. We'll start with Day #167. Got a call from my uncle "the Source" last night. The conversation went as follows.



Him: "Have you HEARD the news?!" (He was laughing hysterically.)



Me: "Nope. What's up?"



Him: "You mean, YOU HAVEN'T HEARD?!"



Me: "NO! Tell me what's the news!"



Him: "I can't believe nobody's called and told you yet!"



Me: "DENNIS!"



Finally, he told me. Long story short, my ingenius little cousin decided to run away with his girlfriend yesterday. He's 11. The best part of the story... they went to Gran's and she loaded them up with snacks before they took off. It was hilarious. Of course the family was freaked out when they realized he'd gone missing, but he was eventually found, so it's all good. My favorite part when relaying the events to Chef was that it must be awesome to be 11 years old. Think about it. Those kids thought nothing in the world was going to happen to them and all they needed to survive was orange soda and cookies from Grandma. Oh to be a little kid again...



Today, we spent the afternoon shopping. I found the PERFECT birthday present for Chef. You know how we love us some Charlie Sheen up in our office? Well, I went to Spencers and found him a WINNING t-shirt. He'll love it. Then I went in search of the perfect "going out" outfit for the bachelorette party. Couldn't find one, but that wasn't going to ruin my spirit because of the aforementioned t-shirt. SO, then I remembered that I had to also get a lingerie gift. OH my. Tha'ts all I have to say about that. I was struggling with that. Even my sister was making fun of me. It was even worse when some old grandma looking woman waltzed in and was able to pick out lingerie with no problem before me. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times. I will elope. There will be none of this wedding nonsense for me. One day I'll call you all from Vegas and tell you that I just went through the drive through and some Elvis impersonator prounced us man and wife. It's just better that way. :0)


OH, and the pic of the day is my good friend Lee Taylor. He won the YoungFree Alabama Spokesperson this year. So proud of this guy. Here's his face on a billboard.
