Wordless Wednesday – Irony at its best….

March 10th, 2010

Gabe Watson Arizona Cardinals - Daddy Bookins Peas and Bananas

Gabe Watson Arizona Cardinals - Daddy Bookins Peas and Bananas

How ironic is this, just the other week during a Monday Mingle I called out my dislike for sports.  This past weekend at a birthday party for one of Lil Boo’s friends, Gabe Watson from the Arizona Cardinals was present.  Let it be known that this Daddy-O is taller than Gabe, and that is all I have on him – as the photo does not do me justice.

Gabe was a pure delight, especially during the photo op, I was quite blunt.

Gabe, I have to tell you something….I don’t know who you are, who you play for, what you actually do in football….I don’t even watch football!  -  daddy bookins

As he almost hit the ground in uncontrollable laughter….he thought it was pretty cool I was just honest.  After that, our conversation never tackled football.  Yes, seriously there is more to life than football, and Gabe is proof of it!  Cheers MM (you know who you are) for introducing me, heck I might even start watching football now……nah no way…..sorry Gabe you along with the rest of the Cardinals Defensive Line may have to drag me to the stadium.  Cheers for the laughs! (I warned you I would post this on the blog and twitter)

I know…not so wordless…

Welcome to the continuation of the YOB Years! Where all you need is a BIG Hug!

Peas Out!

Monday Mingle vlog – Feb 8 – w. Special Guest Appearance

February 7th, 2010

I had entirely way too much fun last week trying out my first vlog, as rough as it came out!  This week there is tremendous improvement, I do not believe your ears will hurt.  In addition, we have a special guest appearance.  I know today is Sunday and last week I posted on a Tuesday, maybe next week I’ll do a Wednesday for good measure….

Here are this weeks questions courtesy of EightyMPHMom.com:

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONS, COURTESY OF MY DAUGHTER:
1. What would Super Nanny say if she came to your house?
2. On the show Wife Swap/Trading Spouses, they typically pick opposites -- what type of spouse would they send to you? (meaning what type of spouse would you really hate having around!)
3. If your spouse (or if someone were to propose to you) what would your ideal proposal be (ie setting, creative)
I can’t wait to catch up with all the minglers this week, enjoy!!
Peas Out!
