These past two days has been pretty. Yesterday , we had a high of 60 and today it reached 67. Tomorrow is suppose to be another pretty day but later in the night we are suppose to have thunderstorms with a possibilty of it getting bad. Thursday it is suppose to be the same with hail and possible tornados. Well, as the saying goes, March comes in like a lion. Maybe the roar won't be to bad.
I did clean house for a little while last night but could still use some more scrubbing. As my dear friend Tracey would say, I don't scrub toliets , I just pour bleach in them and let them sit for a while.
The news was out today, Toyota is putting a factory here in our little town. Should be up and going by 2009 with a total of 2,000 employees. I haven't really decided if I want to put in for a job or not. Money would be good and would have benefits but the hours is another thing. I enjoy my time at home and on the rodeo circuit. Afraid that would come to a stop if I got a job there. Working for family doesn't pay very much but the rewards sometimes are great. Can take off when I need to , to do my barrel racing or when I have goat shows or just wanting time at home.
I have a livestock meeting tonight at 6. We are going to try and get it where there isn't a weight limit like there is now. It's getting where it's more for the adults than for the kids. Hope everything turns out good.

This who I'm named after. She was my great great grandmother. Some of the family say I look like her. What do you think? I would have really liked to known her. I wish I knew more about her life . I don't know where her family was from but the man she married was Irish, that I know. My Mom and her two sisters really show their Irish blood. I think we have the same eyes and dark hair .

I want to show you something. See how I'm standing in the saddle. I'm coming off the first barrel, Dass is so powerful when she comes off barrels it throws me up in the saddle. You can see all the headware I have own her for she is something to stop. And yes, I do own more western shirts than that one but it's my favorite. I call it my lucky shirt. So when I know the competition is going to be tuff, I wear that one for I feel better knowing I have on my lucky shirt.

Well, we made it through the night. It did get pretty rough but we only went to the storm house once last night for only 30 minutes. The really bad stuff went above us and below us. For awhile , the radar was showing that it was headed right toward us and we hauled butts to the storm house and when we came back, the radar was showing that it split right when it got to us. Thank you God. I know there was a lot of praying going on during that time. And God answered prayers.
Went to church this morning and the message was out of the book of Revelation. I am a Christian but I'm not prefect for I stay on my knees asking the Lord to forgive me all the time. But the book of Revelation just scares the poop out of me. My mom says that my heart is not right, huh? I don't believe that. She also told me last night that if I was living right I wouldn't been scared. Now, that's funny for 'Sister Sadie' beat all of us to the storm house. My sisters and I call her that name. It's long story but she will preach to us until she turns blue in the face and then get mad and cuss a blue streak. It's the Irish in her blood. She deserves a big jewel crown in heaven for raising us girls. She will tell you that raising us girls was harder than raising boys. The things that we put her through and tore up. When we was living at home and going through our teenage years, yeah, we would go to bars and come Sunday morning, she would drag us out of bed and have us at church. The things we do when we are young and stupid.

I had my interview yesterday. It took a little over hour. It was really fun. The girl that done the interviewing is a good friend of mine and we keeped getting side tracked during it. Regina, who done the interview, is soooo talented. I just love reading her articles in our local newspaper. I have been begging her to write a book with all of her articles and she says one day. Ok, Regina, one day is here, get busy writting. When I told hubby about the interview and me being chosen for the cook of the month , he just laughed. I don't know what his problem is but I can solve it. Haven't cooked in two nights. ha Bet that will get his attention.
6 yrs ago to this date and day, Pontotoc had a F4 tornado to come through and left a 23 miles of destruciton. There were 6 people who lost their lives in this tornado with several being injuryed. 4 of those people who lost their lives lived just one street up from me. Our house was in its path. My sister Jennifer, lost her house and my parents lost theirs too. When I got the called that they had been hit, I left going over there. What normally would have taken me 10 minutes to get there took me 2 hours. The whole time trying to get there, I kept wanting to be a kid again, to be small and in the comfort of my Mother's arms. Ever felt like that? It was so sad to see everything gone. Today when you drive where the tornado took its path, everything just looks so different.
The weather is saying that this afternoon and tonight we could be in for some ugly weather. It's doing just like it did that ill fated night 6 years ago. If you are reading this , PLEASE say a little prayer for all that is in the path of these storms. Not only for us here in Pontotoc, but in other states that is getting hit either by snow or serve storms. Thanks

I have decided to turn over a new leaf. The other night when getting into bed, my hubby asked me how much weight had I gained since we have been married. Remember, we have only been married 3 1/2 yrs. I sleep in my birthday suit, ( i know if the house catches on fire, I 'm going to look really pretty standing outside buck naked), it really hurt. I didn't think i had gained that much weight. I weighed 90 lbs when I got married. Now, I weigh close to 130 and it's in my tummy. It's sad when your stomach sticks out farther than your boobs. I told hubby probably just as much as you have. I looked in the full length mirror and was shocked. Where in the world did all THAT come from? So.... I go out and buy an ab doer. You know, the bench that you sit on and work your abs? Well, got the thing put together and put in the dvd and was ready for those fat abs. Guess what happens? The crappy thing folded up with me and throwed me across the floor. Yup, sure did. It was funny. I forgot to put a pin in and that was the reason it folded up. Did do the work out for about 6 min. I am going to watch what I eat and leave off the mountain dews. I'm going to be so ready for the summer. haha
I have to do an article in the local newspaper tomorrow about food. Now, just when I decided to watch what I eat, here I have to do this. I was chosen for cook of the month. I have to have some Irish recipies and wear green. Wish me luck

I fear this is going to be short and sweet. I worked all day yesterday getting things together to go to the tax office. Still have a lot more to get together. Went to work. Was chilly this morning a 23 with the highs today getting to 60. The sun is so bright but it is very windy. Don't know how much longer Jon Brandon will be with us. There are alot of units here around us that is getting called back to duty. Was told today that Jon Brandon said he would leave in about 3wks but he hasn't told me that. You got to remember this is the kid that went missing and noone knew where he was at and he had joined the Marines. He won't tell me anything until the last minute. I could strangle that kid sometimes. I don't know what is worse, him riding bulls or over in Irag.
Thinking fried pork chops , butter beans, cream potatoes , corn bread and sweet tea for supper. Gosh, I'm starving.
