Lately...

Sorry I have not posted in awhile...just waiting on things to happen so that I can entertain you my friends, and let me tell you they are. Here a couple of stories from the past couple of weeks...

So I'm in Nashville visiting the Sass. One of our favorite coffee shops is Fido and I have to go there every time I visit. Its just a fun atmosphere, in a cool spot and you never know who you may see AHEM. So we are all shopping in the area and decide to pop in to get a drink. I'm standing there in line and as I'm looking up towards the door about to order Sass leans in and says there's Mat Kearney, I say shut up and as I'm looking up there he is walking towards me. Now I have imagined this moment many times in my head. Pretty much every time he notices me and we talk and of course fall in love. I have to admit people I let him pass by, I failed miserably at MY MOMENT. I got really nervous, started to sweat and placed my order. He walked right past me out to the back door...I'm sure avoiding all of the girls following him or something...BLAST. If I lived in Nashville I might as well rent space out to live in Fido because I would be there all the time for moments like these. But by then I'm pretty sure I would be better at MY MOMENT then the last time.



My next story happened while I was in DC. If you have been on the book I'm sure you've seen the pic so here is the full story...So I am with Cat and Me Mi touring the monuments. Cat's favorite thing to do is to take pics jumping in the air. Well you know people take them of her and its a pic of her in mid air. So all three of us decide to do it. We ask this man to take the pic that is with his son, daughter and wife. We notice the son is taking the pic too (WITH HIS OWN CAMERA). Note that we take the pic right in front of the reflecting pool. So as we are in mid air I realize that my shoes have flown off. There are lots of people on the steps in front of us watching this go down. I hear someone yell HER SHOE! I turn around and one of my shoes made it in the reflecting pool...classy. So I stand there for a moment in shear shock not quite knowing what to do and sort of hoping that the man that took the pic that was so concerned would go in for it. When I realize that he is not going for it and the wind is not blowing in our direction I roll up my pants and go in for it. I am sure this was not only our memory for the day...I'm quite positive that this moment will be in a lot of family photo albums of their DC trip. For the record it was not as glorious as Jenny made it out to be.


Thats the latest ladies and gents...I'm sure there are many more stories to come

Did you know there are still pirates in this world? There is a group of Somali pirates that have overtaken a NATO ship and the ship is about to run out of food. They are demanding $20 million. When they were given $1 million, they scoffed saying that wouldn't even buy a couple of nights at a hotel. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Maybe I should become a pirate. Seriously, they could at least stay a few weeks at a Hampton Inn on $1 million. Granted, they may have to sleep two to a room.

Also, I'm not taking you seriously as a pirate unless you meet the following conditions:

1. You wear an eye patch.

2. You obviously have to elongate your "r"s.

3. You possibly have lost an appendage, maybe even a limb. 

4. Your solution to lost of said body part is a wooden peg.

5. You swing a lot from ropes.

6. You approach the vessel you wish you take over in a huge boat with sails. 

Unless you meet all of these criterion, you are not a pirate. 

Welcome Kay to TWSS.

This is a conversation Kay and I had tonight on Facebook Chat. She probably won't talk to me after she sees I'm posting conversations. It seems as if my lack of concentration comes honest.

The McDonnell Fam...Apparently I'm the only one who shows my teeth when I smile.

Oh, and we always wear white at the McDonnell house. Just like angels.

Whitney the Actress?

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Whitney Port surprised us all with a cameo at a photo shoot. She even had a few lines. Maybe she'll end up as E's love interest.

Also, you peeps need to calm down. I respect the government of our sovereign country. 

So it's been brought to my attention that it might not be exactly legal to give out a free cd with music on it, even though the music is purchased legally. I'm going to check on it and get back to you. If we figure out it is not kosher, I'll find another little something to give away.

Never fear.

Kay says, "Are you gonna wear that?"

While eating breakfast at Noshville in Nashville with Cog Dog and Greenawalt this morning, Laura proposes the question "Is that James Marsden?" I look to the hostess podium and answer, "Yes, it is!" Then we got back to our awesome breakfast sandwiches, after a little talking about what he would be doing in Nashville. 

Yep, life can be pretty awesome sometimes! It just proves that Kay was right; you never do know who you're going to see.
