God governs the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable than an empire can rise without His aid? BF

My mantra for the day. :)
Rumors are confirmed SD made the cheer leading team! Go SD. Can't wait to see those cute uniforms.

So tomorrow night I am going to be a Gold Digger. My costume is complete. I can't wait...it is going to be a riot. LOL

Halloween here I come.

"Success doesn't come to you…you go to it."Marva Collins

SD heard a rumor that she made the cheer squad at her school. That is SO exciting. I am hoping it is true. Will update when I know for sure. I am packing up and heading home. Flying from east to west is so nice. I get home the same time I leave. :)

I have a busy few days ahead of me:
Get home
Get the rest of my belongings out of the rental
Get the maid over there to get it clean
Pick up SD
Halloween (SD is spending the night with her besties and I have a party)
The Great Cajun Cookoff on Sunday
Monday night football with all my lovely Saints fans in Phoenix
Pick my mom up from the airport

Busy busy schedule!

Proverbs 18:22 - "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD."

Just a little reminder to Bey. LOL. I am blogging from Atlanta. My parent's dog died. I came to spend some time with my mom cause she is having a hard time.

I go home Wednesday then my mom comes out for the month of November. My 'rents are retired so they can do whatever they want. My dad is coming too but instead of flying he is driving because, "I have always wanted to do that."

Bey came over for the weekend and spent some time with me. We enjoyed a good weekend of quality family time. The leaves are changing and my parents new home is so beautiful. I believe I made it here for the peak fall foliage weekend.

I have gotten to see my friends that live in Atlanta, and just have a good time in general. Bey has some testing and interviews in Phoenix coming up. He is testing with the Police Department and some school district positions. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

My plane points west on Wednesday, and I will be desert bound once again. It is hard to believe that I have already been here a week. When I return back to IPGzona I have to get the rest of our stuff out of our rental. Then I will be living in the Barbie dream home full time. :)

SD made straight A's on her report card, and today she is trying out for the cheer leading squad.

You are the same today that you are going to be five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read.

I have had some requests to see some of the letters I get from Bey. Here is a partial.

Darling wife,

Another weekend has passed that we were separated. I know it has been as difficult for you as it is for me. All that you go through for me. You are such a strong woman, I wouldn’t trust anyone else in this world with what I place in your capable hands.

May your day be free of the nagging worries that have filled you lately. I ache that I can’t help you with your chores so that you could lay your angelic head down and relax. Keep in mind that this time is not forever. I know it is hard to hear but you just need to endure as we both know you can.

Do you remember that book we read together about napoleon? Do you remember how he told his lover to not bathe he was coming home? We laughed so hard thinking that it could take him a month to get to her how gross and completely French that was. That memory just ran through my head today and the price I would pay to see and feel you laugh like that beside me is a cavern and it is filled with ache.

I believe I discussed this with you but at least our separation is temporary. At least we know that this will end. Sooner rather than later. Imagine if we were separated by something more traumatic such as divorce or death. Angel face a day with out you is a day not worth it.


This past week I have been slammed. I got SD Tuesday...and Wednesday because it was an early release day. I also got her this weekend and it is Columbus day so no school.

That will keep anyone busy. She had a sleep over Friday, and then she hung out with her best friend on Saturday. Then it was spending time with my family and having a nice relaxing weekend.

“You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!” Dolly Parton

On tap today:

  • Coffee at 6 AM with Morgan
  • Unpacking and what not at the new house
  • Cleaning and what not at the rental
  • Work-grades, posting, wrapping up some course development
  • A few quick errands
  • Auburn Football with the Auburn club
  • Girl's night out with my Phoenix girls and friend that is here from out of town

I am exhausted already and it is only 5:40 AM. Also on the list locate my Auburn gear and Auburn shoes and Auburn beads so I am correctly attired for the party. Locate my LBD, boots and cowboy hat for girl's night. You may not think that boots and cowboy hat go with an LBD, but I like it. It works for me.

Talked to my friend Mike who is moving to Phoenix last night for 3 hours. (It had been awhile). He will be here this month for a little visit. Can't wait to see him!

The 'rents are coming soon. I am pretty excited and can't wait to show them the new Casa de IPG.

All my furniture was delivered yesterday and can I just say AMAZING. Literally gorgeous. I swear I am going to post some pics as soon as there are not boxes coming out of my ears.

Little SD is sick. She has chronic stomach pains so the doctor is running tests. She found out they needed a stool sample. She asked her mom what stool was, and when she found out she was mortified. Feel better SD!

Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. Mark Twain


Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk
I have been up since 4 AM working. I will probably be up a few hours more. Give or take 5 or so. Sigh. This project WILL NOT END. WILL NOT...sigh.

Anyway, tomorrow my furniture comes for my barbie dream home. YEAH! :)

So I know this is crude, but saw it on an Auburn blog and had to share. :)

I am going to take pics of the house tomorrow with the new gear. I also wish I had made Bey leave his little HD video camera. I could have taken some video.

Thanks to all the well wishers. I appreciate you ladies.
