And just like that, spring break is HERE!

Rusty and I did go and see the "Big Hair Affair" last Saturday night and we had a good time. A lot of people were there to see them. They're just a bunch of guys with decent day jobs that put on wigs and sing all the old 80's songs everyone loves, it's a trip! http://www.bighairaffair.com/

Sunday I cooked all day, was in the mood I guess. Cooked everything to eat for the whole week and I was glad I did. We had band practice on both Monday and Tuesday nights which was difficult to swing for me. By Wednesday everything at home was piled up. Argh! But at least we did get to practice. Practice was difficult as well, having been 2 weeks since we played. Hopefully that won't happen again.

I was happy to see Brandon checked out the blog, thanks! It's nice to know people read it now and then lol. I'm really hoping now that you'll start one of your own too, wish everyone would actually. The pictures of Emma are gorgeous, almost gives me baby fever lol. And I especially love the black and white photos, those always have that antique look to them - just something about them. I think she looks just like Brandon with dark hair and dark eyes.

Well, Tanner got sent to the office this week but he swears he "didn't do it". His write up said: "Tanner has been refusing to follow directions throughout the day and has been given many warnings. He refuses to stay in his desk and refuses to stop talking at inappropriate times although he has been warned of the consequences." Now surely we all KNOW Tanner wouldn't do anything like THAT. According to him, he stayed in his seat all day and didn't say a word lol. He was sent to in school detention for the rest of that afternoon.

Tyler stayed home sick on Tuesday with a headache but he was better by the time I got home later. He got in a tad bit of trouble on Thursday. He was running a relay race and taunting the guy that he had just passed (in a friendly way). BUT - he used a profane word when doing so and a female girls' coach nearby heard him. She grabbed him and the other boy demanding to know who said it and neither of them would tell. She hollered and threatened them and they still wouldn't tell. So she took them to the football coaches and explained what she had heard. The coaches told her..."Yes ma'am, we will find out which one it was and they will be PUNISHED SEVERELY!!!" When she left, the football coach said "ok, who said it?" Tyler confessed. The coach smiled and laughed and said "Don't do that no more" lol. So luckily he got out of the trouble with the mean lady coach. Tyler is getting into the weightlifting, even though he doesn't like it. He doesn't like doing it much, but everyone else is doing it and he can't stand being outdone by anybody. So he's working everyday trying to add more and more weight, and he has improved a good bit. And the coaches told him he runs pretty fast for a white boy lol.


I fell into the myspace trap Thursday evening. We've had myspace sites since last year we just hardly ever mess with them much - not like some people who are addicted to myspace lol. Anyway, I was tired and bored so I signed in and starting looking at the people's sites that are on my friends list. Saw some new people that I knew, started checking them out. Saw more people I knew. Saw I had some messages so I responded to them. Then I saw this cute little questionnaire thingy everyone was passing around so I filled it out. Sent a message to my friend in Gulfport. Sent a message to another old friend. Surfed through Tyler's friends. Before I knew it I had sat there 2 hours lol. It's a neat place.

There really has not been much exciting happening this week. It's attic fan weather again and I'm enjoying it. I've just been counting the days til Spring Break and glad it's finally here. I can catch up on my life, my house, and maybe read a book. We are going to see the D7 band Saturday evening. Seems to be lots of bands playing at the Loft lately. And we have not seen them in awhile so figure we'll go.

I didn't take any pictures this week because we didn't do much. So guess I'll just post some old time favorites. So, speaking of the "Big Hair Affair", here are some of my favorite vintage bighair photos from the 80's:

Me and my best friend at USM, and Rusty in about 1984 or 1985:




















Mom made me and Chris get our picture made together at prom one year. We thought it was embarassing but now I'm glad we did it lol. And here is one of my favorite 80's pics of Brandon, Dustin, Chris, and Eric:
And this one is actually in the year 2000, but it's one of those priceless kinda photos lol:
