Michelle Obama is a very elegant woman and usually dresses the part. However, I do have to question her choice of dress on election evening. This dress is so unattractive.

Football
This past Saturday, my daughter, C, was invited to the Alabama-Arkansas State game by her boyfriend, M, and his parents. Much to my amazement...she wanted to go, but not because it was a football game. ;) See - the girl is not a football fan. What's that you say?! Not a football fan? Nope...she's not. I find it hard to believe, as Hubby and I love football. But I digress...
She was able to spend the entire day with her boyfriend. He and his parents came to get her at 7:30am and returned her to us, safe and sound, at 11:00pm. C had a BLAST! She got to experience football at it's best - an undefeated team's homecoming game where they shut out their opponent 35-0. She said the half-time show was fantastic. The food was great, too - she had a blackened chicken sandwich and dippin' dots. She and M slept on the return trip and then had pizza at his house before he brought her home.
What has amazed me the most is that I didn't even think twice about her going to the game without me or her dad. I've met her boyfriend's parents and Hubby worked with M's mom - they're very nice. I suppose it I hadn't met them she wouldn't have gone.
Sigh...she's growing up way too fast. I'm thrilled to see her so happy. Her boyfriend is a very sweet, well-mannered young man.

Love days like today!
The 5 D's are appropriate for today: damp, dank, dark, dreary & dismal (to quote a local weather dude).
It's perfect weather for curling up with a good book or magazine, hot cup of coffee and a quilt. Too bad I didn't take the entire day off. Only took 1/2 day, had lunch with some friends and was home by 12:15. Had a great time at lunch, despite the food only being so-so - the conversation was wonderful.
I'd really like to have a whole weekend of the 5 D's, if only not to feel guilty about being lazy. :)

Have you ever...
had days (weeks) where nothing seems to go right?!
I'm having one of those weeks now - it started last Wednesday. Stressed out doesn't even begin to cover it. I just want to curl up in a little ball and cry.
Is it Friday, yet?!

Busy, Busy
This morning, the girl and I walked/ran the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. But now, I'm bushed. Must take a nap before Book Club tonight.
Off to nap!
Talk to y'all later!
