I woke up this morning and thought, "I totally have to blog this!"
Let me tell you about my dream. Apparently I'm having Thanksgiving-day jitters or something... you see, my family-in-law is coming in, and I couldn't be more excited! (YAY!) The more memorable parts of my dream include Martha Stewart giving me tips on how to fold dinner napkins into animals, and Dr. Derek Shepherd offering to cook me dinner because Meredith was still at the hospital and Gerald was out flying in his airplane. After those 2 helping me out, how could I be bothered to remember the other details?!?
Welcome, Evelyn Rae Smith. You are so loved! (and I sleep-texted your mommy last night when she sent out the info about your birthday! Apparently my reaction was "Wahoo." No exclamation point. I promise I'm excited. I just can't punctuate while folding dinner-napkin animals with Martha.)

Update, Y'all!
So, the video below.... AWESOME! I don't know who put it together, because KUDOS!
The wedding was amazing. Sheri and John make such a beautiful couple, don't they?
Mama and Daddy picked me up at the airport right at 3:30 or so.... just in time to hear kickoff on the radio. Traffic wasn't terrible, and it was easy to find the hotel. Beautiful place, too! I'm a Hampton Inn Believer, now! We got ready and headed to the church down St. Charles. Nothing beats New Orleans for beauty in the Garden District! Wedding at a beautiful Catholic Church, and I don't know if I'm the first to notice, but I think all Catholic churches smell the same! Something about wooden pews and candle wax. Perhaps it's the Old English Furniture Polish all those nuns work into the wood! (am I the only one that remembers that commercial?)
Anyway.... I have to confess.... I had my dear lovely non-football-fan husband send me text messages, updating us on the game. By the time they were pronounced as Mr. and Mrs. John Flatt, LSU tied Bama 24-24. No shame, though.... a guy across the aisle from us was checking the game status all throughout the ceremony, too. :-)
As soon as we got to the ceremony, Mama scoped out a live-feed laptop and hunkered down with the rest of the band (yes, the entertainment for the evening) to watch the rest of the game.
I'm sure if they would've practiced, the band (The Nobles) they would've played the LSU fight song! They were still awesome! The food was amazing, and we all had a blast!!! We escorted the new couple out with a very enthusiastic Second Line. Such a wonderful time.
Sunday, we spent tooling around the French Quarter. I went on a search for a pretty sterling silver fleur-de-lis ring, and found one in the market. SWEET! Lots of pigeons and tourists around. The Saints played that afternoon, so we saw lots of black and gold. We didn't stay on Bourbon St. very long! We ate a yummy lunch - muffelatas - and did some touristy-shops. That's what the french quarter is all about! We tried Cafe du Monde, but MAN was it packed! The most memorable moment, however, was a comment I heard as we walked down Decatur... a very redneck mama made an observation to her child, "I just saw a penguin walk into that bar!" (really!?!) I'm sure it was just a normal, run-of-the-mill pigeon, but someone needs to give that woman a ticket to the Audubon Zoo, STAT!
Anyway, it's time for me to eat....'MUNGRY!
