I mean, really. What else is there to say?
First, I just want to give a War Eagle to that one smart guy that always reads my blog. He is the best!
Ok, I’ve made my mind up … I’m going to Athens for the game! It didn’t take much persuading from my sister. This is going to be Brandon’s last game against Georgia. How can I miss that?!
You know I love Brandon because of his talent and everything great he brings to Auburn … But, today, I’m going to just say what I’ve been thinking the past five years … D*mn, that boy is fine!
Here’s a lil’ somethin’ to bring a smile to all you ladies faces … Yeah, I know I post this picture all the time, but, who cares … Like I said before, the boy is FI- INE!!!

Oh, No He Didn't!
Now, I’m reminded why I have never much cared for Georgia fans. I get back from lunch and have an email from one of them. I’ll just do a copy and paste of what he said and then my reply. It’s goes a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ like this:
Ignorant Georgia Fan: Did you hear about the blackout? All the UGA fans will be wearing black this weekend……. I hope the good guys win and the war chickens / kitty cats / plainsboys lose. What’s up with all those mascots? Do you all have identity issues?
My response: Yes, I did hear that you all were wearing black this Saturday. Desperate times calls for desperate measures, I guess. Sort of like how Georgia ran on the field during the Florida game—illegal and no class, but hey, whatever it takes to win the game, eh?
The Plains is the area where Auburn is located. People were called Plainsman back in the day. But, you’ll never hear us yelling, “Go, Plainsman.” Or seeing a Plainsman in a mascot uniform. Trust me. I’ve been to a lot of Auburn games.
Let me explain this one to you so you will know for the future. We have one mascot, which is the tiger. War Eagle is a battle cry back from around 1864. It’s something special and everyone recognizes it and affiliates it with Auburn. Sort of sucks for you that your team doesn’t have anything quite like that, huh? Yeah, I know it does.
No identity crisis here just something unique. Hopefully it’s jealousy on your part, more so than stupidity ... Holla!
I have yet to hear back from him.

We Shall See ...
Ok, it’s here. The weekend for the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.” The Auburn/Georgia game, baby. Yes, I will admit it—I don’t despise Georgia quite like I used to. Alabama takes that top spot now!
I asked fans from Auburn, Georgia, and yes, even Alabama what their predictions for the final score of the game. Here are the results:
Auburn Fan: Auburn 24 Georgia 10
(Editor’s note: Very smart guy. He has not been far off this year. I hope he’s dead on this time!)
Georgia Fan: Georgia 21 Auburn 17
(Editor’s note: Very sweet, optimistic, delusional Georgia fan. I still love her, though.)
Auburn Fan: Auburn 24 Georgia 17
(Editor’s note: One of my lovely sisters, who graduated from Auburn with honors. No bias. Just calls it like she sees it.)
Georgia Fan: “Georgia and Auburn will play a closely-fought game; Georgia will however, win by 7 points.”
(Editor’s note: I asked for a final score. Typical Georgia fan that can’t follow directions. Geez.)
Auburn Fan: Auburn 24 Georgia 10
(Editor’s note: Another one of my lovely sisters. She and the very smart guy picked the same outcome. Huh.)
Georgia Fan: Georgia 24 Auburn 21
(Editor’s note: She told me I was living in a “fairy land” if I thought Auburn was going to win. This is coming from a person who is 5 feet tall. Ha! I love her though.)
Auburn Fan: Auburn 30 Georgia 20
(Editor’s note: This guy likes to beat up Georgia fans. Now that I think about it, he likes to beat up Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, et cetera fans, as well.)
Georgia Fan: Georgia 27 Auburn 21
(Editor’s note: I used to date this Georgia fan. He always did have a great sense of humor, kind of like that score he just predicted.)
Auburn Fan: Auburn 17 Georgia 14
(Editor’s note: She grew up in Athens. So, she can testify that these fans are annoying. She couldn’t take the obnoxious red and black and bulldawgs and hedges and arches and all that other mess. She bleeds orange and blue.)
Georgia Fan: Georgia 31 Auburn 27
(Editor’s note: Take my advice—if you’re an Auburn fan, marry an Auburn fan! You’ve got to have that one thing in common.)
Auburn Fan: Auburn 28 Georgia 24
(Editor’s note: This guy is a die-hard Auburn fan, kind of like me. But, he is more obnoxious to watch a game with than I ever thought about being. Good grief. I thought he was going to have a heart attack during the Auburn/Florida game.)
Georgia Fan: Georgia 21 Auburn 14
(Editor’s note: One of the smoothest talking Georgia fans around. Smooth, O, real smooth!)
Now, I will prove my point to just how ignorant Alabama fans are … when asked their prediction for the Auburn/ Georgia game, here is what they said … And, I quote:
Alabama dingbat fan #1: “Alabama is gonna win!!!!”
(Editor’s note: I had no response to this.)
Alabama dingbat fan #2: “Georgia”
(Editor’s note: I responded with a not so friendly hand gesture.)
Now, this Auburn fan's prediction: I’m going to reverse that one Georgia fan's score … I say Auburn 31 Georgia 27
Now, all together, Warrrrrrr Eagle, Hey!

My friend, Jennifer, passed this along to me. I don’t know why, but I love filling out these things. So, here goes:

6) Favorite sounds?
I love good music, but most of all, I love to hear my babies sing that good music.
7) Worst feeling in the world?
Worry about my girls. Avery said to me last night, “Hannah doesn’t like me, but I love her.” I will stone cold slap a kid who is mean to my baby!
8) First thing you think of in the morning?
Where the heck is Maggie?!
9) How many rings before you answer the phone?
I really don’t even think about it. I have music for a ringtone, so I couldn’t tell you.

God, family, friends, and Auburn football : )
11) Chocolate or vanilla?
I like them both … just all depends
12) Do you like to drive fast?

Yes.
19) Is the glass half empty or half full?

22) Like concerts?
Umm, yeah, it’s probably safe to say that I do.
23) Idea of a great date?
See above answer. You can add an Auburn football game to that, as well.

“Six Feet Under” was the finest … nothing can top that!

TGIF, My Soul, Divine!
Thank God it’s Friday. Seriously. I am so ready for the weekend. My plans include watching a lot of football, lake lounging, and going to a pumpkin patch. Oh, what fun!
My sister is on a cruise, so I get the honor of keeping her two, as well as mine. She owes me big time. And, I’m thinking her time is coming real soon. I need a vacation.
I’m rambling. I’m bored. I’m ready to get off at 12:00 today.

Let's Get Down To Business, Shall We?
This is probably one of the most anticipated games of the year being an Auburn fan, for me anyways. LSU is good. And, even though we lost to Miss State, we’re good, damnit!
Auburn’s defense is astounding. And the remarkable thing about all of it is that we’re playing without some of our top players. You’ve got to give it up for these young guys. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but can you imagine how good we are going to be next year? Since Will has been gone, I’ve been searching for a defensive guy that I can keep my eye on. I think I found one. #59 is on fire. He is only a junior, so I’ve got all next year, as well. : )
I have not familiarized myself with LSU’s stats. All I’ve heard is how great they are, even though they did lose to Kentucky. (Bru-hahaha!)
So, all this being said, you would think that I was going to Death Valley to watch them play. Well, I think I’ll pass on this one. Those (LSU) people are ruthless. And, after I’ve had a few Miller Lites, I get feisty. I don’t think those two things are a good combination. I would like to see my kids grow up! No, I’m not exaggerating … It’s that bad down there. You can be certain, though; I’ll be watching it and screaming as if I were in Baton Rouge.
It’s going to be nerve-racking to say the least. I pick the Orange and Blue Tigers by 7. Oh, I’m so excited … War Eagle, suckers!

There Are a Handful of Them Out There
Yes, I know it is hard to believe, but I do know two Alabama fans that have some class. The first is my brother-in-law, Ken. He knows more about Alabama football history than any other Alabama fan I’ve ever met. He is a football coach and even coached Brandon Cox at Hewitt-Trussville.
The second is my good friend, Geoff. He loves Alabama football. I have to give it to him. He didn’t give me a hard time when Auburn lost against South Fla. or Miss. St. (or maybe I just don’t remember)! Anyways, I’ve tremendously enjoyed watching college football with him this year. (I better go ahead and say that before the Auburn/Alabama game.)
So, today Geoff turns 30. Just for you, I want to give you a big Rolllll (ha! Ain’t happin’, captin’!)
Happy Birthday, Geoff … but, Warrrrrrrrr Eagle!

Happy Birthday to my Babe!
Three years ago on this date, Auburn played Tennessee. Auburn won! Yahoo!
Three years ago on this date, Reagan Elizabeth was born. Yahoo!
The first thing I asked after she was born: Who won the Auburn game? I kid not.
Reagan turns three today; although, she insist she is four.
So, a very happy birthday for my favorite lil’ “Reggae Song!”
Oh yeah, she wants an Auburn football party. I kid not. (Smart, smart child!)

As J.J. Evans would say, "DY NA MITE!"
Let me just start off by saying War (apply your personal favorite here) Eagle!
Tim who? Don't think so ...
I had no doubt that we would win against Florida. When you know something, you just know it. I knew it! Ok, enough giving my own self props. Let’s give credit where credit is due …
Will Muschamp is “da man.” He had that defensive line ready! I haven’t seen Auburn’s defense play that well in awhile. Nobody was getting through that brick wall. These boys did their job and impressed the *$#& out of me.
Our offensive line… Where do I begin? They were on fire. They gave my boy the time he needed to do this thang. Even though they are a bunch of young guys, they played like pros. Al Borges should be happy. Those guys made him look like the old Al we have come to love.
Tommy Tuberville did an excellent job taking up for the Tigers. Even though we were penalized 15 yards for his protest, the call was unfair. I don’t think that I ever seen him that mad. He stiffened up like he was about to fight somebody. I was proud of Tommy.
Wes Byrum … What can I say? Under all that pressure and still made that field goal—twice. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Et cetera.
You knew it was coming … Brandon Cox—wow! He played with that confidence he has been lacking. And he played—GREAT! He is the audible king. He can read defensive like a Dick and Jane book. My favorite thing to watch this year is when he does that thing (audible) that he does so well. People were ready to throw him under the bus. I hope those people are eating their words now. He loves Auburn football, and it shows. And, I love him, and it shows. :)
Now the bad … which have nothing to do with Auburn … I don’t know about you, but I could not stand to look at Urban Meyer. I don’t know what it was. He just looked evil. Especially when he waited to call that time out after Wes kicked that field goal. He thought he was slick. His true colors came out. Pure desperation right there, Urbie. What joy I reveled in after Wes made the field goal—again. So, Urban Meyer, try selling that crap elsewhere, we're all bought up here.
Now the most disappointing situation: Holly Rowe! When my man steps up to be interviewed, INTERVIEW HIM. He is the best, the most excellent, unsurpassed … I digress.

Makes Sense to Me …
Not sure if you know, but I’m obsessed with Thoreau. The man was something else. So, I leave you this Friday with a quote from the man who pretty much got it. Whatever “it” is.
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.” ~Thoreau
Have a great weekend ... War D Eagle!

The Things I Do For My Friends ... Unreal.
Those two little monkeys that live in the same house with me are gone to Disney World this weekend. Can I get a h*ll yeah?! Mommy needs a break!
Yes, you know it. This post inevitably will lead to Auburn football.
I had planned from the beginning of the year to travel with a group to Gainesville for the game. Already made arrangements. Done deal.
So, what a cha know?! Someone plans an event during football season. For the life of me, I don’t understand people’s mentality. (FYI- I skipped my grandmother’s retirement party to watch the Auburn/Miss St game.)
My dear friend is having a 30th birthday party this weekend. So, since I care about my friends almost as much as Auburn football, I’m skipping traveling to Gainesville and watching the game on a big screen. Even though he is an Alabama fan, God help him, I love him dearly and wouldn’t miss this for the world!
I know, I know — Brandon only does well when I am in attendance. I’ve already talked with him, and he completely understands why I won’t be in Gainesville this Saturday night. God, I love him. I know he will do well. For that matter, I know all of my Tigers will do well. Have I mentioned how much I miss Will Herring? God, I love HIM!!!
OH oh oh oh oh YEAH! This is the kicker — this birthday bash theme is Alabama football … Can I get a h*ll nah!?

We Can Beat Florida ...
Someone sent this to me today ... And since I'm on my Auburn tirade, as usual, I thought I'd post it here. This gives me chills ...
To paraphrase, Shug said:
"Gentlemen, I can see by the look in some of your eyes that you don't believe Auburn can win this weekend. Well, the team bus is waiting. I want only those who believe Auburn can win to go get on it."
Slowly, one by one, the Auburn team rose from their seats and began to file onto the team bus. Within only a minute or two, every chair in the room was empty, and Auburn went on to Birmingham and defeated Tennessee 10-6 in what was a monumental upset.

I know, right? Every guys dream girl ...
I don’t like to shop. Really. I don’t. I would rather be on the boat with a “Dave Matthews Kool-Aid” in my hand, listening to good tunes, rather than out shopping any given day. I can’t fathom why other people would choose the latter. We’ll go to the beach, and a few of my sisters will shop all day. Ant-uh—not me.
I shop for the necessity not the thrill of it. So today, I don’t have my iPod and didn’t feel like driving all the home listening to the radio; plus, I have to find something to wear to a 30th birthday party this weekend, I went shopping.
There is a point coming, I think.
I ended up finding something to wear to the party, and I ended up spending too much money. Go figure. Ok, here comes my point: I think someone was playing a trick on me. Here I was not wanting to shop at all, and what a ya know — they were tearing up a “Toad the Wet Sprocket” CD in the store. I couldn’t leave.
I still don’t enjoy shopping, but today was rather pleasant. Ah, the wonders of music.

Nothing Else to Talk About ...
As much as I hate that summer is ending, I must admit that it feels fantastic outside today. Even though (ahem) Auburn is not doing so well, it is definitely great football weather. Hopefully, it stays cool and breezy for the game on Saturday.
Speaking about football, which I never do (riiiight), who would have thought that I’d be worried about playing New Mexico on Saturday? Well, I’m not really. I still believe in my 1-2 Tigers! As I’ve told many of you, I really think it’s because Brandon knew I was not there. (riiiiight, again). And, my input about all the booing hype … Personally, I would never … And, I’d probably slap you if you were booing beside me, especially booing Brandon Cox. Puh-lease!

4 Days Until ...
War... Eagle, fly down the field, Ever to conquer, never to yield.War ... Eagle fearless and true. Fight on, you orange and blue.
Go! Go! Go!
On to vic'try, strike up the band,
Give 'em hell, give 'em hell. Stand up and yell, Hey!
War ... Eagle, win for Auburn,
Power of Dixie Land!

Before I Was A Dog Mom
Before I was a Dog Mom:
Before I was a Dog Mom: I made and ate hot meals unmolested; I had
unstained, unfurred clothes; I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I slept as late as I wanted and never worried
about how late I got to bed...or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I cleaned my house everyday, I never tripped
over toys, stuffies, chewies, or invited the neighbor's dog over to
play.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers,
plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or deodorant were poisonous or
dangerous.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I had never been peed on, pooped on, drooled
on, chewed on, or pinched by puppy teeth.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I had complete control of my thoughts, my
body and my mind. I slept all night without sharing the covers or
pillow.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I never looked into big, soulful eyes and
cried. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I
couldn't stop a hurt. I never knew something so furry and four-legged could
affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I had never held a sleeping puppy just
because I couldn't put it down. I had never gotten up in the middle
of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was well. I didn't know how
warm it feels inside to feed a hungry puppy. I didn't know that something
so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Dog Mom: I had never known the warmth, the joy, the
love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being . . .

I Forgot How To Blog
Man, it has been forever since I’ve posted an entry. I’ve been so busy with work, school, babies, myspace (ha!), etc that I have neglected my poor, pitiful blog. Does anyone even read it? Probably not.
I’m going to start this thing back up, though.
And, what a way to start back with this post, right?!
Sorry, it’s all I’ve got in me today.
