Traditions

Joelie and I went to a wedding last weekend in Connecticut. Joel was a groomsmen and he looked so cute in his tux. I realized throughout the night how there are some wedding traditions that I despise. This is the story about the one I despise the most;
The bride and groom were dancing their first dance when the DJ invited the wedding party to come to the dane floor to dance with the new couple. I watched as this petite pretty little blonde in her perfect fitting bridesmaid dress ran up to my husband in a heartbeat and started dancing with him. As I am watching my sister in law is explaining how she hates this tradition and how awkward it is for most people involved. Well let me tell you, this girl didn't feel awkward at all. She was twirling herself and shaking her hips...and I thought...my god...you are dancing with a married man...can you cut us some slack? As I continued watching, my heart sank into my stomach and I decided I despise this tradition...it is awkward watching another chick dance with my husband. It was just as awkward when I was single and I had to dance with married men...or weird single men who people were usually trying to set me up with. Either way...I DON'T LIKE IT!

Later on everyone was mentioning how that bridemaid was totally hitting on Joel. At first I thought that maybe it was my jealousy that was making me analyze every move she made...but it was confirmed by quite a few people. The happy ending to the story is that Joel felt so super awkward that he switched out and started dancing with his male cousin, Cord, who was also a groomsmen and they made a big silly dance out of it.

One more thing and my ranting will be over. If I was single and I was dancing with a married man I would dance as simplistic as I could out of respect for the man and his wife (who is most likely watching). I can't believe that girl (who definitely without a doubt knew that we were married)had no problem shaking her booty and hitting on a married man. In her defense...I think she had a few too many beers in her but still...no excuse!

Okay...done ranting now! :)

The Good ol' State of Mississippi

Missippi has the most number of strokes and heart attacks in the nation..the highest obesity rate...the highest teen pregnancy rate...the worst educational system in America...BUT on the positive side, Missippi produces the most famous people per capita...who knew? Famous people like Oprah, Morgan Freeman, Brett Favre, Three Doors Down, Lee Ann Rymes and many many more are from Mississippi!

My List

I am in a book club and we read a book called "The Next Thing on My List". It was an easy read about a woman who was driving a person who she had just met home...they got into a car accident and the passenger died. The woman found a list that belonged to the passenger and decided to finish the things on the list in her honor. The things on the list were things like run a 5K, dare to go braless, try boogie boarding along with seventeen other goals on her list.

This book has inspired me to make a list. I haven't actually written out an entire list yet..but my first idea so far, is to learn a belly dance and perform it for my hubby. I got a practice dvd for my birthday, so I am hoping I will be able to learn it...but I am not that coordinated...so wish me luck.

As I think of new things on my list...and I complete them, I will be sure to let y'all know!

Accents

I went to Subway a few weeks ago and ordered my sandwich. Not even five words later the Subway worker asked me if I was from Minnesota. I was so surprised that in just a few words..she was able to detect an accent and was able to pinpoint it to the exact state. Wow! I definitely think I am going to have the most unique accent ever..a mixture of NY, MN, and southern belle accents. Oy Vay! Oofta!
Bye Y'all I'm fixin' to go to bed! :)
