dog shaming.

slim just sent me this website called dogshaming
and said "it's funny i can't think of a single post i could 
add to this hilarious blog"
funny.. i could think of HUNDREDS to add...
moma girl can lay claim to this one for sure.

d&b

we had a post-camp celebration at dave & busters...
lea was slaying the skeeball game & scoring tickets!
packman was my favorite.
slim scored in the grab-a-toy game...
red sox? wtf!
rev, jeff & slim shootin' hoops.
lea, me & tara jane
.
slim got a great workout with the boxing game
cute & with a deadly right hook.
connect four with shannon. i lost.
cutest camp couple. awwww
bad boys, bad boys...
and then we went to west egg and had boozy shakes.
beth's was orange and zesty and was by far the best.
slim had banana pudding that was delicious & marshmellow-y.
i just settled for two cupcakes...
key lime pie & red velvet w/ cream cheese icing. yum!

nicknames.

this one goes out to hot dog, basil, two box & beret.
Yep!

hear moma roar.

no more fried chicken sandy's w/ pickles for moma.
she's clearly decided where she stands on the
to eat or not to eat chick-fil-a debate.
i got this book in 7th grade after attending 
gti (georgia teen institue) a pre-teen anti-tobacco & alcohol
awareness program, sponsored by chick-fil-a maybe?
*i remember getting busted for selling tickets to other teens
to watch me & my roommate perform to a cake song...

moma girl took it off the book shelf & ate it.
(seriously, we've got hundreds of books and she choose to destroy this one)
i've never been prouder.

spaghetti arms.

in honor of 25 years of dirty dancing goodness.
dirty dancing was a staple in our house growing up.
a few years ago, my grandma ruth was visiting we watched it
and grandma knew the whole movie, word for word.
it's an all generations loving film packed with star crossed lovers
in an abortion sub-plot with fabulous shoes & magical lifts. 

in honor of the 25th anniversary, and in memory
of johnny (pat swayze) we're having a dirty dancing night!
everyone will perform...
lea you should do i feel pretty or i feel pretty?
i just love this movie!

checkout gpn's new video.
it's a bit quirky, but i love it!

join us in october, we'll be jammin' with
grace & the boys at the tabernacle!

for today.

ask questions.
be weird.
experiment.
have goals.
believe you can...
the wild air tastes better. 
be fearless.
believe in yourself.

rape is rape.

although i usually keep this space pretty light,
i cannot avoid commenting on the current climate
regarding the gop missouri senate race candidate.
it's stomach turning, sad & insane to think that after hearing this
man speak, people will still vote for him & give him political power.
i was afirmed after hearing obama's statements on rape and women's
healthcare issues. loud & proud: obama 2012.

"The views expressed were offensive," said Obama.
 "Rape is rape.
 And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing
 what types of rape we are talking about doesn't make sense
 to the American people and certainly doesn't make sense to me. 
So what I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn't
 have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, 
making health care decisions on behalf of women."

i believe pelosi, in a short & simple tweet gets it:
rep. todd akin statement is another manifestation of the total 
disregard and disrespect of women by republican leaders.
