You Tube Tuesday....Just a Day Late

In honor of my husbands recent accomplishment........

Funniest Shit on the Planet! Seriously!

One of the reasons that I haven't been blogging and keeping up with things around here like I should is because of this website textfromlastnight.com. It is the best and most addicting thing to come into my life! Please check it out for yourself ASAP.

Here are a few of my favs:

(502): Dude, just got a bummer.
(1-502): What??
(502): A blow job from a homeless chick.

and

650): Just FYI I rubbed poison oak on all your sheets and blankets so we all will know who you hooked up with (in about a day)

and all time fav (poor gay boy's mom...I hope he was out of the closet!)

(214): dude. I'm so drunk.
(972): pete, this is bryce's mom
(214): I can't wait to have my cock in your ass
(972): pete, this is still bryce's mom

I got an iPhone yesterday and just set up my mobile blog setting. This could definitley get intersting when I start sending drunken photos to my blog at 3am!

Greg's Graduation

My husband's graduation from Christian Brothers University last Friday afternoon was wonderful! Not only was it the end of a long journey over the past few years, but he was also surprised with two special awards at the end of the ceremony.

One was for the highest GPA in the school of business, and the other was the highest GPA in the entire 2009 graduating class. To be fair he did have to share the second with another girl because they both had perfect 4.0s.

So that's right.... I'm married to a valedictorian. I know you're probably as shocked as I am that I would be married to such a smarty pants after reading my "lovely" writing style and "extensive" vocabulary in my posts ( especially since I don't even know how to spell valedictorian). I even thought about not using spell check on this post to show you just how dumb I can be, but decided that my hurt my pride a little too much. Well at least I'm the one who married for intelligence!

Because the ceremony was at such a funky time and Greg had to be on site by 2 in the afternoon, this is the only photo I have with him in his cap and gown.

He had to run over while they were walking out to take this photo with me as I was leaning over the railing. You totally can't even see my cute JCrew summery dress. And I have fat arm because I'm smushing it into my side. My priorities are so skewed.

Anyways from here on out Greg will be known as Greg 4.0 or just 4.0! Or at least he says he will!

Better Late Than Never, Right?

I'm so sorry that I'm so late on doing my give-a-way announcement. We have been so busy lately and everything has been getting away from me. 

This morning I wrote out the five pep's names who commented on little pieces of paper and put them in bowl.

And the winner is............

Congratulations Sarah from On the Rhoads of Life

This is an amazing coincidence because today is actually Sarah's birthday. So Sarah happy birthday again and leave your email address in a comment, so I can contact you for your address. I promise I will be quicker mailing your treats to you than I was doing the drawing. 

You Tube Tuesday... and then some

This weekend we had my youngest sister Krista's college graduation, and I threw a combined family party at our house for Krista and Greg's graduations. We had a great time eating, DRINKING, and celebrating. I took absolutely no photos though. I'm just sick about. I now well enough that if I'm hostessing something I should always give my camera to someone else to be on paparazzi duty. Oh well.

After the party was over some of our friends came over and we ended up going out. We went and saw a Guns n Roses cover band, Appetite for Destruction. I'm not a G n R fan in the first place, so this band is not my cup of tea. We still had a great time though, and ended up thinking it would be a great idea to head downtown after they were over at 3 am. For those of you who don't know a lot of our bars downtown don't close until 5 or 6. It's a blessing and a curse.

The next morning I was dying for food since we had served BBQ at the party, and me being a vegetarian, I ate nothing but three cupcakes. Greg was quit immobile in the bed when I woke ravenous at 10.... he is like six years older than me and doesn't bounce back the same after a long day and night and morning of drinking. My friend and previous evening house guest, Dave, was kind enough to take pity on me, drag his ass out of bed, and carry me to the Waffle House. Yeah, I said the Waffle House. Don't be j!

Upon our arrival to the fine dining establishment, I asked Dave if he would play me a song on the jukebox. He said " like what Honky Tonk Badonkadonk?". 

I had never heard of this "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" before. Fortunately our food arrived quickly, as it often does at grease pits, and I was face down in my eggs, grits, hash browns, waffles, and toast..... and yes I ate every bite..... don't judge me! Once I started to eat I forgot about the song until I got to my parents later that day for Mother's Day. 

I pulled this up on You Tube. ( sorry you have to be redirected to You Tube because the record label has disabled the embedding..... because they're obviously douches).

OH MY! How did I ever miss this? It makes that awful "Poker Face" song look like it should win a Grammy. 

The next day I sent a link of the video to Dave and commented that it seemed that the concept of the video shoot was if a rap video and a monster truck rally had a baby. I posed the question: What would such a baby be named?

Dave's answer: Kid Rock

The Count Down Is On

Please look to the left column of my blog and notice the Greg graduation ticker. Yes... it says 7 days! He actually is taking his last test tonight in about thirty minutes. That means he'll be finished with school in about an hour. Yay! I thought this day would never arrive. 

Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo

Oh how I celebrated the Mexican Independence Day. Then this morning the tequila I drank last night declared it's need for independence from body. It was a very violent battle, and it won. Screw you tequila! I vow to never drink you again ...... or at lest not until next May 5th because by then I will have forgotten what I felt like today. 

Also I probably have swine flu because the Mexican restaurant we went to (or I should say the first one we went to) didn't have soap in the bathroom. Like Mexican places don't already seem unsanitary enough, or at least most of them in Memphis do.

Mrs. Potter, 101th post, MY First Giveaway

Yesterday I got my screened in porch all summerfied. I planted a ton of pink begonias and assorted colored impatients in all container pots. I also cleaned of the inch think film of pollen still lingering on everything in there. These are some shots I took of porch and all the flowers. Notice the hand painted pots around the ledge from my post "She's Crafty" post. They may come back up later in this post.

So I thought I had timed everything out to make this my 100th post, but I made a mistake somewhere along the way. Therefore I 'm celebrating my 101th post instead of my 100th. I don't want to be like everyone else anyway.

Yay my 101th post! I've really enjoyed blogging so far. I hope I keep up with it over the summer when my life usually gets a little busier. I'm glad to have a kind of record of what is going on in my life that I'll be able to look back on. 

Thanks to everyone who has been reading my blog so far. Thanks for putting up with my poor grammar, punctuation, and a few misspelled words that manage to get by spellcheck. Thanks for your comments, and making me feel like my life is a bit more interesting than it actually is.

And finally, thanks for letting me into your lives through your blogs. I've really enjoyed getting to know some really cool girls through this whole blog thing. Some from all over the country, and some right here in my own backyard.

To show my thanks, and celebrate my 1-0-1 blog,  I'm doing my first giveaway.

Back when I painted my replacement flower pot, I decided to paint a larger one to give to one of my readers. Here's a photo of the pot one of will be receiving:

I will also be including a few little surprise goodies along with original-CarrieBeth-hand-painted-flower-pot and personal note from me. It's not a super extravagant giveaway, but hell as many post as I've done in this short time, I'm going to be hitting too many milestones to be making my giveaways too extravagant this soon.

To play along in the giveaway just leave a comment over the next week under this post. Next Wednesday I'll do drawing, and post who's name I pull. Whoever wins will have to leave there email address in a comment for that post, so I can contact you for your street address. If your uncomfortable doing that please don't enter for the drawing.

I'm so excited about this, so please comment to win. Don't let me down readers!

You Tube Tuesday

My You Tube Tuesday is honor of my adventure yesterday. 

I had the brilliant idea that since I wax my own brows then I should be able to wax my own "special area". Not such a good idea..... pain and a sticky mess followed. Needless to say I'll be leaving this to the professionals in the future.
