Hey y’all!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I talked tv, so here’s a little bit about what I’ve been watching since we talked last.

For the last two weeks, the only thing I’ve been watching (except for like three episodes of BH 90210 while I was cleaning) is…

I watched the first season and part of the second season when they originally aired, but then life got crazy, so I didn’t get to watch any more. Two weekends ago, I got on Netflix to find something to watch and decided to do a little bit of catching up on Army Wives.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I was hooked again. I watched all five seasons in a week.

I watched on my computer for several hours each evening, then at least another episode on my phone before I fell asleep (gotta love the Netflix iPhone app!).

Watching all of the episodes at once made me get very attached to the characters. After all, if you spend hours with someone, you really get to know them. :)

Here’s what I learned from my time with the Army Wives crew.

1. I am most definitely in love with General Holden. Yes, he has his flaws, but he is pretty close to perfect.

Plus, he’s so very nice to look at.

2. Roxy and Pamela would be SO much fun to hang out with.

3. Even with all of her medical issues and the death of her child, Claudia Joy is so sickeningly perfect that it really bugs me.

Maybe it’s because she’s married to General Holden. Hmm…

4. If I ever have to see a psychiatrist, I sure hope he looks like Roland.

5. I have a lot of respect for military spouses. I dated a guy in high school who was in the army, and that was hard enough. I have several friends whose husbands are in the military, and I just don’t know how they do it. I think it really takes a special person to be a military wife!

Sorry for the quick video. My brother has moved his XBOX into the living room, and I don’t like an audience when I record my videos, so I had to record while I was home on my lunch break today!

Hey y’all!

If you follow me on the Twit, you know I went to a conference yesterday on social media. The speaker gave an overview of five different social media tools, as well as ways to incorporate them into your business marketing.

One thing our speaker asked was do we prefer Facebook or Twitter?

I think I was one of three people who raised their hand for Twitter.

Had you asked me even a year ago, I probably would’ve said Facebook. I’ve been on Facebook since college and Twitter only for a couple of years, maybe.

Since I started blogging, I’ve been using Twitter a LOT more. I still check Facebook several times a day, but I rarely post anything there.

So what do y’all think? Do you prefer Facebook or Twitter? Has your favorite changed since you started blogging?

*If you’re not on the Twit, you need to sign up immediately! It will change your life!*

(Yes, I totally stole this idea from Neely and Glamour Magazine, but I think they’ll forgive me!)

…To be really excited for a conference on social media, especially when they tell you to bring a laptop. What’s better than a training on Facebook, Twitter, and blogging?

…To require at least one Sonic Dr. Pepper a day to function.

via

…To have a gigantic pile of unread magazines, but be unable to throw any away until they’ve been read.

via

…To wish all of your blog friends lived in the same place.

via

…To be ridiculously excited about planning a baby shower for your bestie.

via

…To spend a week doing nothing but watching Army Wives…

…and to wish a fictional character was real!

Hey y’all!

I’m finally getting around to my 4th of July weekend recap.

I had such a wonderful weekend with my family and friends. It was nice to get a long weekend home to relax.

Friday afternoon, I left work early and headed down to SE Oklahoma to meet Momma and Daddy for the Sammy Kershaw concert.

We had a really great time! At one point, while Sammy was performing a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, my Momma was fist-pumping Jersey Shore style! Definitely entertaining!

Momma’s ear bling

I was a big Sammy fan back in the 90s, so it was really cool to see him and hear some of those great old country songs.

I think there were about three people that I told about the concert that actually knew who he is, so I thought I’d include a couple of his songs in this post.

Good stuff!

Saturday, we all went out to my grandparents’ house for dinner and fireworks.

Banana split cake! Momma made a little section without bananas so I could have some! Yummers!

Sunday we went to church, then I went with Jessica, her boys, and her parents to watch a town firework show.

Monday, Momma and I took lunch to my Daddy out at their land where he was working. We took pictures, but I haven’t gotten them from Momma’s camera yet.

I drove back home Monday afternoon, then went out to Joyce and Wade’s for dinner and fireworks with some of our church friends.

What a sweet face!

She was very concerned about what was going on

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! I’ve been a little absent from Blogland lately, so I hope to catch up on all of you this week!

I hope the rest of your week is just fabulous!

I had a wonderful weekend at home with all of my families! I’m completely exhausted, but I loved it. The recap will come later when I have time to catch my breath.

Hope y’all had great holiday weekends too!
