Amy posted links today to this article about a man and woman that were married and three days later he went to war.  He visited on his breaks but one day he comes back and she is gone.  They reunite SIXTY years later.  Unbelievable.

I said I wouldn’t believe it until I saw it, but it’s really snowing!  We’re lucky to see one day a year here in the Carolinas and today’s the day!  It didn’t start until after 10 so the girls didn’t get to see it.  I’m hoping it either is still snowing in the morning or there’s enough accumulation that they get to play in it a little bit.  I just tried to get pictures but taking a picture of snow in the dark is no small task.  Maybe I’ll have some pictures tomorrow of them playing in it!

Chick-o-lay…that’s what Lexi calls Chick-fil-A.  We ask her multiple times where we’re going just so she’ll say it.  We had a funny conversation at Chick-o-lay today.  Scott is one of those people that always has an answer for everything.  He always has a quick comeback for anything you say and normally he turns your words around on you just to be funny.  Me–not so much–I’ll think of something 10 minutes later, laugh to myself and realize how stupid I would seem if I would try to explain my oh-so-great-but-very-very-late comeback. 

Anyway, I thought I had him cornered today but sadly, no.  (We were laughing the whole time this happened so please don’t take this for more than it’s worth)

E: Mommy, will you play Chutes and Ladders with me when we get home?

Me: No, honey, I have to work but Daddy will…I bet he’d play five times with you.

Oh, I thought I had him. Emma has a fantastic memory and no way would she let him get out of playing anything less than five times with her.

E: Daddy, will you play five times with me?

Scott: Sure, I’ll play five times with you…(Scott looks at me knowing he has the upper hand) if Mommy’s nice to me tonight.

Me (faking a very surprised and happy voice): Of course I’ll be nice to Daddy, I love Daddy!

Lesson Learned: Play with fire and you will get burned.

My sister Heather just sent me this video of this baby laugh and I was thinking I really wouldn’t find it that funny but I was crying laughing by the end of it. The baby’s laughing so hard he can barely breathe. Ahhh, I needed that.

I was getting my makeup on just now to go out to eat tonight and had my hair pulled back in a clip.  I did get a shower at 7:45 today, thankyouverymuch.  I normally do my makeup before my hair so this clip thing is not necessary.  Anyway, I thought my hair was kind of cute with the bangs pulled back.  I went out to my lovely husband and said, "What do you think of my hair like this?"

Scott: Uhhh, no, it makes your forehead look too big.

Well, thanks, I think I’ll put my hair down.  Forever.

Are you tired of hearing about ellipticals?  Today the technician finally came out to replace the parts the manufacturer sent.  He twisted and pounded and lubed the thing up but one side of it would not come off.  He said someone at the factory must have screwed it up.  He called the store and apparently he knows them really well and just told them to send us a new one.  We’re supposed to get a call in max of 3 days.  Not holding my breath on that one though. 

If we still have issues, we’re going to want a different machine. 

And just for the record this is a Horizon machine and the tech said they have a ton of problems out of them.  So far, I don’t recommend the Horizon.  And it sounded like the money for a Sole might be worth it because he says they never get calls about them.

Spaghetti and chocolate…yum.

Today will be a day of light postings…I’m headed into the office today.

Before I go…I just read biblegateway’s scripture for today (on my right sidebar) and it’s the same one as my Sunday Scripture post from this week.  How cool!
