Cheap! Cheap!

I got to take a road trip down to Jonesboro yesterday after work to meet with Dave and a deacon to start planning our wedding. Before I could head home, I had to get gas...


It's been a couple of years since I've gotten gas for this cheap!!! I got 10 cents off per gallon thanks to Mom's propensity to shop at Kroger... a lot...

Chili Cook Off

Dave and I braved the forecast to go to the chili cook off at Stone Mountain Park this weekend. Some friends have entered for the past few years, and I was never able to make it out. This year, I vowed that I would go. Here are a few random picture I took on my phone (I didn't want to take my camera in case it decided to pour...)

"Suck-up Chili"
A booth of Miller Lite cans (they sponsored the Chili Cook Off)

Top Gun is one of my favorite movies!
HistoryDiva, you don't have to comment...

"Outhouse Chili"
Yes, that is a toilet...

Jury Selection

I had to go back to the courthouse today. I brought better reading material with me this time... no Nicholas Sparks to make them wonder why a potential juror is bawling her eyes out! Notice below that I have covered over the decaying zombie part of the face of my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Book Club selection for October...)


After a couple of hours, the 18 of us summoned today got to experience jury selection. It was actually kind of fascinating. Being that I was the last person on the list, I was not selected to serve on this particular jury. But I get to call back tonight to see if they want me to report in tomorrow!

Flood Funny

It's been raining every day for the past week and a half in Atlanta. This funny has been going around on Facebook, and it's so very appropriate...

Jury Duty

I've been summoned for jury duty this week, but fortunately was not called up for selection today. They released all of us that remained in the jury "holding pen" at lunchtime, but I have to call tonight to find out if I am needed tomorrow. Basically, I am at the beck and call of the courthouse the entire week. Luckily I work just down the road so that I can easily work half-days if need be (like today...)

Of course I brought reading material with me this morning, but I chose a book by Nicholas Sparks. I really should have known better. I had to scrounge around in my purse for a tissue... maybe they'll dismiss me if I start crying?

Trivia Funny

Trivia question from last night (which we won with only 4 people, thank you very much!):

What South American mammal was named by Catholic missionaries after one of the deadly sins?

Cutest Cake Ever!

Barn Cake with Farm Animal Cupcakes

It's almost too cute to eat--not that I would actually expend the energy to do something this complicated with food! That's why Publix has a bakery... and JustJulie has themed parties ;-)
