So Happy...
Things that are making me happy:
1. The above song by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan...a new discovery.
2. Being home after a long weekend away.
3. 13 years of marriage, celebrated in Memphis. Almost 24 hours of no children, responsibilities, or time crunching.
4. Huey's...how I love thee.
5. Hillbilly Casino-just a happy fun band with lots of talent and a great high-kicking, bubble-gum blowing, hair-combing lead singer that makes me smile! I especially enjoyed watching him do his 'ballet-stretches' before the set so as to accomplish the afore-mentioned high-kicks without injury...ha!
6. Comfort Inn, downtown Memphis. Beautiful views, immaculately clean, ultra-comfy beds, big-ol flat plasma tv, garage-parking, and within walking distance of all attractions...for 100.00 less than almost every other hotel around.
7. Maggie Moos Udderly Cream with chocolate chips and cherries mixed in...enjoyed WITH a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. HYPER happiness!
8. New slip-on vans...feminine, easy to walk in, and featuring the cutest skull print that defies any who are so crass as to remind me by word or look that I'm in my thirties.
9. Miller Chill...Miller Chill...and one more Miller Chill.
10. Kissing on the sly.
11. IRON MAN!!! Reawakening my dormant love affair with Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey Jr...and how cool was that ending with the song!? 9/10 fo sho!
12. NOT living in Memphis, even though visiting is admittably a fun time.
13. Being reunited with my sweet little Victor James and his welcoming toothless grins...Being clobbered by Nathan in all his bruised, scraped, and insect bitten glory...Johnson's quiet 'hi mama' uttered in irritatingly grownup and noncholant tones. Whatever, I know how happy he is to see me.
14. Family hugs, Caroline's burgers, my dad's graduation-style photo on the back leaf of his book.
15. Barnes and Noble.
16. The spectacular number of fireflies that greeted us on our drive home last night...the heady scent of honeysuckle that fairly assaulted us when we got out of the car.
17. A clean house.
18. Johnson's decision to become an unbaptized publisher AND join the school with absolutely no hinting/coaching from me!
19. New Cellphone...'Samsung Beat' aquired for FREE with new calling plan!
20. The reaffirmation of our love for the desert after slogging around in the oppressive heat and humidity of Memphis for three days. Honeysuckle and fireflies aside, summertime in the south is starting to get on my nerves.

First of all let me say, I'm sorry I didn't get to see you while you were here. I was really hoping to get to. Sorry it didn't work out.
k, now on to the post...
Love the Cash and Dylan song. Scarborough Fair all different but the same. Awesome. Love both of their voices. And together...buttah.
So happy for you guys. Still can't believe it's been 13 years. My how time flies.
Your new Vans sound utterly delightful. They sound like a very "beat down if you knock em'" worthy purchase. :)
Kissing...hee hee. Sweet!
Don't think I've tried Miller Chill...don't -think- but will keep in mind for the future.
I've still not seen Iron Man!! Doh! And I want to real bad!
That's awesome about Johnson wanting to not only be a publisher, but to join the school too! Yippee! :)
Congrats on Johnson becoming an unbaptized publisher and to join the school! Our babies are growing up! Lou (Lindsay - also known as Lula and Lou Lou Magoo) joined the school just a few months ago and our school overseer forgot to assign her as a householder for her very first part. So she's given one talk so far but has never been a householder! Lol, I think I was more nervous about it that she was!
Way to go, Johnson!
