Now what is this game called?

Whew!! This weekend has been SUPER busy, but EXTREMELY fun!!!  Yesterday my family (Cinni-Mini, Will.i.am, Nonnie, Papa, Grandma Jackie, and Granddaddy Thomas) and a friend of mine's family had a pig pickin' for my class in law school.  It was a huge success and those people ate the best bbq they will every eat...guaranteed!!  The pig pickin' was fun no doubt, but the grandparents were ever better!

So, two things a college student or law student cannot pass up is free food and free alcohol.  (*Just a side note the Warren/McLamb crowd did not drink, I mean we're baptist right?)  Anyways, there was drinking at our pig pickin, but a game the got Nonnie's attention was beer pong.  Here's the conversation that was overheard....

Nonnie: Now what is this game?
Sally (my friends mom):  I think it has to do something with throwing a ping pong ball into the cup.
Nonnie:  And then what happens?
Sally:  Omm....they drink the beer I believe....

Why this is funny? Mrs. Sally knew the rules to beer pong, but being stuck in an awkward situation with Nonnie intergating her about beer pong made her give the edited, vague version.  I don't know why Nonnie didn't just ask Will.i.am, I mean he invented the game (I'M KIDDING...kinda).

So if anyone is looking for a beer pong partner Nonnie now knows how to play!!!

Granddaddy's reaction to where I live and my apartment:

MAW: Granddaddy how do you like my apartment?
GRAND: You live in town..
MAW:  Do you like the inside of my apartment?
GRAND:  If you like living by yourself it's nice, but I don't like living by myself

He wasn't to impressed with my big city livin'.....He's a country boy!!

I loved having my grandparents come visit and my parents stay the weekend with me!

***Please ask Cinni-Mini about her first night in Greensboro and how much her and Moxie bonded..***HAHAHAHAHA

I want something fattening!!

A lot of you are probaly wondering about the title.  There is a WHOLE story behind it.  So, over the summer I worked out a LITTLE, not as much as I usually do.  Now that I am back at school I am able to go to the gym everyday.  Well the boy and I were eating supper tonight and I was doing really well, I had vegetables and fruit on my plate.  When I was finished with that I was not quite full yet, so I said, "I want something good, something fattening" BIGGEST MISTAKE TO SAY THAT TO THE BOY! I had to hear this whole long spill about how I just came from the gym and how I needed to eat healthy and quit complaining that I am fat if I am not going to eat healthy.  UGHH!!! I said, "I just need it, so just leave me alone." & then I walked HAPPILY over to get a piece of pizza :) Boys do not understand the body of a woman!
     Also, now that I am back at school everything is in FULL FORCE!!! I have an 8AM class, and for everyone who knows me knows that I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON.  You can imagine what kind of mood I was in, I was dragging and barely staying awake in class.  After class I had it planned out.  I had all of this work to do and I did not have time to take a nap, so I was going to MAKE myself drink a cup of coffee so I could stay awake and get my work done.  Let me make something clear: I DO NOT DRINK COFFEE, I HATE COFFEE!! YUCK! After a friend had told me what to go get a Starbucks I was quite uncertain about this experience.  I walked into Starbucks and I ordered my coffee and I was surprised that when I tried it IT WAS GOOD! Now, I love it and I cannot wait to go get some tomorrow morning.  Although, it did not keep me awake because I came home and took a nap.  The coffee was still good!!
      I hope everyone is enjoying their first week back at school!! :) Miss y'all!

The World According to a 5 year old

A week before I moved back to school I had to run a few errands in Fayetteville (which is the largest "city" that is any where close to where we live).  So I called my cousin Misty and asked if any of her children wanted to ride with me, she came back on the line and said they all three wanted to go.  Here I was with an 10 year old, Dawson, a 5 year old, Jenna, and a 3 year old, Molly heading to Fayetteville.  Of course immediately Jenna had to know where we were going, how long it was going to take us to get there, and where we were going after our first stop...oh and of course if we could go see Moxie after we got back home!  I told them we were going to Pet-Smart and then to Coldstone to get ice cream.  Pet-Smart was renamed "Pets Mark" by Jenna on our journey, but my favorite moment was when we were stopped at the first stoplight in Fayetteville and Jenna asked "Meredith, is this traffic?"....in our small town "traffic" is getting stuck behind a tractor.  On my way to school today I hit every stop light and there was so much "traffic", which made me think of Jenna!  If she thought Fayetteville had traffic she needs to come visit me!!

Since we are on the topic of Jenna another topic that came up is where I go to school.  Her brother Dawson is in 5th grade, so he goes to elementary school.  Jenna has her first day of kindergarten tomorrow.  Here is our conversation about where I go to school.

JENNA: Meredith, Do you go to Dawson's School? (Remeber I am 22)
MAW: No, Do you remember when you went to that water park? (Wet N' Wild)
JENNA: Yea
MAW: My school is near that water park.
JENNA: Why do you go to school so far away?

....Jenna, I can't tell you how many times I have asked myself that since I have moved back to school!!  It is so cute when I talk to my little cousin about the concept of college!

We want to say GOOD LUCK to Ayden, Jenna, Leah Ashley, Casey, and Jane with their FIRST day of Kindergarten!!  Good Luck to Morgan with your first day of HIGH SCHOOL!  Devin (since I know he reads our blog EVERYDAY...not), Ryan, Kate,  and Joshua with their return to high school!!  Good Luck to Sarah with her first day back to Middle School!  Dawson & Katie Good luck in 5th GRADE (y'all are the "upper class") Good Luck to Eli my sweet sweet nephew---girls watch out!  Good Luck to Molly with her first day at Mrs. Pat's!  Good Luck to Eva-Kate--don't let the grandparents spoil you to much!!

These are some of the girls!!

Good Luck to Mrs. Kathy, Larinda, and Misty since it's the first day the kids come back!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow! We love and MISS YOU!

Just Call Me Tour Guide Barbie....of ECU!

So, I am back at school and trying to get my room and everything situated.  UGHH!! I had to dig myself out of all the piles and boxes that are stacked in my room.  I have no idea where all of this stuff came from.  SERIOUSLY! I had to run errands today.....and I think I got stopped 5 times to explain where a building was or how to get to some place.  I was about to the point of saying that I was a freshman too, so they would quit asking.  As you know, I could not have done that because I am a nice person.  So after the hectic morning of running around campus and getting things together I HAD to get a Dt. Mt. Dew and chocolate.  Ok, I must confess to something.  I have an addiction to Dt. Mt. Dew, and I blame my parents.  They always have Dt. Mt. Dew at their house and now I only have Dt. Mt. Dew at mine.  I could not function without it.  That might be a little extreme, but you get the point.  After I had a Dt. Mt. Dew and chocolate I was all set.  I am still trying to get things organized and placed in my room.  I can FINALLY see the top of my desk, so I deserved a break!! When my parents and I came up on Saturday it was HOT and of course my daddy had to go meet the ECU Football players.  That was fun but I was sad to see them go.  I too, like MAW, was excited to see my friends and hang out with them, but this is not home.  Although, I do have a lot that keeps me busy I do miss home and MAW and the family.
        I went to the pool with my friend yesterday and I was talking about something and I said "ruined" and she was like "what" so I repeated myself and said "ruined" and she still did not understand.  I said "LIKE SOMETHING IS MESSED UP" she said, "ohhh ruined"  I was like...."that's what I said"  Apparently, I ran the syllables alltogether and sounded like "rooooooned" So, at that point I realized I was not in my small hometown anymore.  Yesterday I had to run to Wal-Mart and I live 6 miles from Wal-Mart and it took me 30 MINUTES to get to Wal-Mart because of the traffic!!!! Now I know that the city would not be the life for me because I cannot handle the traffic.  I was thinking that I need to get a truck so I could just go up on the sidewalk and pass everyone.  When I share my ideas with my friends they just laugh and are amazed because they think I live in another whole world....in the middle of nowhere.  Well, I guess I need to go unpack somemore.  We have Open House at the elementary school I am interning at tonight and I cannot wait to meet my 2nd graders. :)

We're Not in Kansas anymore....

A follow up to last nights flood, Hernandez pulled up a corner of my carpet and stuck a fan to where it blows under the carpet and I have to keep that on for three days.  Moxie thinks she has a new toy and I have something to block out my neighbors loud music! 

So raise your hand if you do the same thing:  When a disaster hits the first person you call is your MOM!  When I was in college babysitting the house alarm went off and before I even called 911 I called my mom first even though she was 2 hours away.  Last night I did call maintenance first, but then I called my Mom even though she was 3 hours away!  Momma's can always make it better no matter how far away they are.

I have only been in the city for a day now and I have quickly realized that I am no longer in the country.  Yesterday my friend and I went to Wal-Mart and (1) I was going to leave without locking my door and (2) I did not see anyone I knew at Wal-Mart.  Then another friend told me to come outside and say hello and I walked outside barefoot---I never wore shoes at home, but when I realized I was standing in a gross parking lot barefoot I was grossed out!!  It might take a little adjusting to, but hopefully I'll remember to wear shoes to my first day of class tomorrow!!

Wish me luck,
Sissy Ducks

Welcome Back

I realize that I have already blogged today, but I have found the need for a second entry! 

It's my first night back in this sweet sweet town that I loathe.  I decided that I would call it an early night so Moxie and I snuggled up in bed and checked for bed bugs and all was right in the world. 

However, then Moxie decided that it was play time, so she finally annoyed me enough that I got up to see what she was doing.  Since I was up I decided I should use the restroom.  On my short walk to the bathroom I stepped in something wet....soaking wet.  I was like what in the world...I thought my AC was leaking, maybe a little condensation.  Then I took another step onto the hardwood floor and my foot was suddenly submerged in an INCH of water!! (Side note: I live beside a water tower and have a fear of it springin' a leak and my apartment being take away like Noah in the Ark.)  I turned on the lights and my kitchen and bathroom was SUBMERGED under an INCH of water.....instead of the water tower springin' a leak my toilet had sprung a leak!!

I immediately call the emergency maintaince people and a guy with a foreign accent answers....I know this is going to be BAD NEWS.  Here I am with a southern accent as thick as it gets and I'm having to explain water "wuder" in my kitchen from my toilet.  Long story short something must have been lost in translation because all the guy showed up with was a plundger.  So the man with the foreign accent gives my number to a carpet cleaning man....who is hispanic.  I could not understand one word he said except he would come pick up the fan in three days.  It's late and there has already been to much going on for me tonight!

Goodnight,
MAW

"Always in my heart..."

KLW and I parted ways this morning!  It was bittersweet because it's KLW last year in college and I was excited to see all of my friends, but it also meant that KLW and I would be 3 hours apart.  Moxie seems to like her new apartment.  She has an awful great view and has been trying to catch bugs and birds through the window.  I think she misses Alex, so I'm still debating whether or not she needs a little sister!!

My friend Savannah made a list of all of the memorable things that happened during our first year of law school, so I decided to make a list of memorable things that happened over the summer.....

• CentriKid
• Shuckin' corn
• "Don't be a Tumbleweed"
• Rabid Racoon's at Ridgecrest
• Finding Moxie in my dad's motor
• Weight Watchers
• Friendship bracelets/sassy bands
• KLW flippin' off the lawnmower
• 6am walks with Tonya
• "Purdy" "Sweetheart" "Merevis"
• Pageants with Sarah
• Coldstones and "Pets-mark" with Dawson, Jenna, and Molly
• Saddle Ridge Ranch
• OMC
• Relay for Life---ALL NIGHT CLUB
• Dr. Rex (Ask Dawson)
• Blue Room & the Pink Room
• Catching pigs

...there are probably so many more memories!  I had an amazing summer spending time with my family!  And like KLW said in her letter she wrote me 5 years ago...although we aren't close by "you'll always be in my heart".

We LOVE you ALL!!
Sissy Ducks

A Tale of Two Cities

KLW and I go back to school tomorrow.  However our schools are 3 hrs apart. KLW and I went to the same undergrad, but now I am in law school.  There is only one thing we can say about us moving away to college...You can take the girl outta the country, but you can't take the country outta the girl!!  Our thick country accents provide others with much entertainment!  KLW and I will continue to blog, but instead of being about our life in the country it will be about bringing the country to the city! 

Since we are leaving home sweet home tomorrow Cinni-Mini got off work early yesterday and took us school shopping!  However, she made the mistake of letting KLW drive home!  The conversation between KLW and Cinni-Mini went like this...and was repeated and repeated.

Cinni-Mini:  KLW you need to stop swerving.
KLW: I'm not swerving.
Cinni-Mini: Well the car sure feels like it's swerving. Do you drive like this all the time.  OMG my car is not use to going 70 mph..(Mom looks at the speedometer) YOU'RE GOING 80!! KLW pull over right now!!.
KLW: Laughing hysterically
MAW: *praying* (hard)
Cinni-Mini: Let me hold your ice cream since you are full
KLW: I'm not full.
Cinni-Mini: Well I'm full or I could just be nauseous from the way you are driving.
KLW: Laughing hysterically.

We had a great time, but I seriously doubt my mom ever let's KLW drive again!  I'm sure Cinni-Mini is going to miss us....the house will be much quieter, less messy, her shows will not be deleted on TIVO, the TIVO will not be full of our shows, no one will harass her as soon as she walks in the door....the house will be sooo boring without us!

We are going to miss our family so much!  We love you all & can't wait to see you soon!!

10 Things Everyone Should Know about KLW...

It's finally my turn to let everyone know what I know about KLW!  I was nervous about what she was going to put in her "10 Things about MAW" but I will have to admit that she was nice and she ever chose a good picture.  KLW and I are only 18 months apart so I have known her for a looonnng time so here are 10 things that I want the world to know about KLW.

1. When she was younger she would not wear jeans, khaki pants, or anything that "itched"...so she would only wear cotton pants or her infamous velor outfit with tennis shoes!
2. When KLW was in 6th grade and I was in 8th grade she cried on the first day of school and I was a good big sister and made sure she went to the right classroom!
3. Although KLW is extremely stubborn and has a "tough" girl attitude she is very compassionate and cries more than I do.
4. KLW cannot do a cartwheel---she made me lose a cartwheel competition because she told the judges we were going as a team.
5. My daddy use to pick on KLW and tell her that Goofy was a boyfriend.
6. When she was little she called Kit-Kats "achy-breaky's"...after the Billy Ray Cyrus song
7. When we were little and suppose to be taking a nap KLW flipped off the bed backwards by accident and thought I had pushed her so she went and told our parents I had broke her arm.
8. KLW is a very literally person---I once told her I was going to kill her and she was terrified for at least two days that I was actually going to kill her.
9. She is still scared that Santa Clause is going to steal her when he visits on Christmas Eve.
10. KLW loves I love Lucy because her 6th grade math teacher, Mrs. Allen, said she reminded her of Lucy.

Since KLW gave you a *BONUS* I'll give you a bonus....KLW told me that at her funeral I am suppose to get in front of everyone and announce..."The day she died was the day she stopped eating."  The girl loves to eat!

Although I may be "bossy" it is the big sister in me and I just want the best for my little sissy duck!  KLW has made me mad, nervous, scared, happy, excited, and many more emotions it has been worth it because I have the best sister in the world! 

Love you Sissy,
MAW

Want to know 10 things about MAW????

Since we have let y'all know 10 things about our mom and dad, we thought it would be fair if you got to know 10 things about us as well.  Also, we decided to let each other write the 10 things about each other, so they would be a lot more funny and truthful :)  So......I get to write 10 things you need to know about MAW :)

The 10 MOST IMPORTANT things to know about MAW:

1. When we were little I thought MAW was the best drawer.  I was struggling to draw a stick figure and MAW drew the actual body of her person!!!

2. When we were younger MAW and I would sleep together because I was scared to sleep by myself.  So, after I begged her to let me sleep with her she would put a piece of tape down the middle of the bed and tell me that I had to stay on my side of the bed.

3. MAW made a rule that if I slept with her because I was scared I had to scratch her back for 5 minutes.

4. She IS NOT stingy with her money.

5. MAW never criticizes people after the time she called me stupid and made me cry. 

6. You can tell she is the older sister, because she is BOSSY and always bosses me around...even though I am 21!!!

7. She always use to blame Roadey (my cat) for her allergies acting up.  Then she got her own cat (Moxie) and Moxie doesn't bother her allergies, and after she reads this she is going to say that it is because Roadey is not clean....(which he is.)

8. She is a PICKY eater.

9. You always know what MAW is thinking just by looking at her facial expressions.

10.  When our mom is gone MAW thinks she is the one in charge because she always tries to watch over me and protect me. (She still does this, and we are in our 20's.)

BONUS (Y'all get a bonus because I just know so much about MAW) :)

11. More than likely if we are in the same room we are going to find something to laugh about. 

She is a pretty good sister :) Especially when she is not trying to be the one in charge or be bossy.  :) Love you Sissy Duck :)  I guess it doesn't matter how different we are from each other, it just matters that we get along so well and that she is my best friend.  :)

10 Things Everyone Should Know about Will.i.am

KLW and I recently found out that our daddy has yet to read our blog.  So we decided since he doesn't read our blog he will not know about this post! (It'll be our little secret)  But I'm sure Cinni-Mini will spill the beans....

10 Things Everyone Should Know about Will.i.am

1. Alex (our dog) is the first person/animal daddy talks to when he gets home from work and the only one he says "bye" to when he leaves for work.
2. Our daddy monograms his dress shirts on the cuff.
3. He has a jar full of change and if you only take out dimes he does not notice.
4. He will notice if you take out quarters.
5. When KLW and I still lived at home he would ask us if he matched before going to work...and he usually didn't.
6. On Pirate football game days his car looks like a pirate ship on wheels with all the magnets, flags, stickers on his truck.
7. He loves the movie Christmas Vacation and we quote the movie often and KLW and momma have no clue what we are talking about.
8. He has at least two pair of reading glasses on him at any given time.
9. If it were up to our daddy our house would be purple and gold throughout the whole inside.....right now his Pirate Pride is contained in one room.
10. Growing up all our daddy had to do was give us "the look" and we knew we better straighten up!!

Here's our "diddy"

We love you daddy and you better start reading our blog!!
Sissy Ducks

On a more serious note--KLW and I are praying that God will use us to witness to people who do not know him.  Please pray that his WILL will be done!

It's an Addiction really...

We went to town and stocked up on more string so we can make MORE "sassy bands".  Therefore nothing exciting has happened today because we haven't left the kitchen table.  KLW is getitng tired of making the bracelets, but I'm still going strong!!  So if you would like to support our addiction you can leave what colors you would like in a comment.  Here are some of our designs..

And we always give credit where credit is due.....We learned our techniques  from Holistergirl101


If you don't hear from us tomorrow, then we probably found a new design and it is taking us a little while to learn how to do it!

Sissy Ducks

Back By Popular Demand....

Just kidding we haven't gone anywhere!!  But we are so excited that people are reading our blog and actually ENJOYING what they are reading.  We haven't had time to blog because Will.i.am and Cinni-Mini keep us pretty busy during the weekend.  So this blog will be a catch-up of what we have been doing over the past few days....and I promise we have had some adventures!!!

So Friday was just a typcial day other than our cousin "Miss LHS" FINALLY came to visit, but she usually only says about 5 words so nothing got to crazy.  But then came Saturday...We woke up and went to help with the Spanish Missions and made some new friends.  It was so funny to listen to the group of G.A.'s talk to the Hispanic children....it was like the slower  and louder they talked the children could understand them better (or so they thought)!  Then on our way home our dad (Will.i.am) called and said that a pig had gotten loose and we needed to go catch it....(please refer back to blog about MAW not running)  But KLW said we should go and at least see if we could see it....so we drove over there and sure enough WE FOUND IT and CAUGHT it!!!  That's when we formed the organization N.P.L.B (No Pig Left Behind). 

I'm not one for making excuses unless it's about exercising or dieting, but the main reason we haven't blogged lately is because we have found a new hobby....making friendship bracelets!!!!  (So KLW just informed me that we are in our 20s and we should call our "friendship bracelets" something else, so we'll keep you posted on what we are going to call our string-creations-that-are-bracelets.) Our dad asked us why we kept making all these bracelets and we were like we don't know!  We are addicted!  It's the little things in life, right?  Well that it what we have been up to boiled down!  Tonight was the last night of VBS and it was bittersweet.  We're going to miss hanging out with out church homies, but it'll be nice to hang out with the family during our last week at home.

Have a great week,
Sissy Ducks

What I learned at Vacation Bible School...

Yesterday was the last night of VBS!  It has been a wondeful week and I have learned about God, missions around the world, some new songs, and a few other things. These "few other things" include:

1. Silly Bandz are a good way to get little girls to sit still for about 5 minutes.
2. According to a 3 year old girl, your "pannies" aren't "prudy" unless they have princesses on them.
3. Duck Duck Goose is a dangerous game, especially when you are in your late 30's.
4. Birthday Cake ice cream sandwiches are the best thing since sliced bread and may cause trouble if you eat the last one.
5. If you are looking for Jesus, try the girls bathroom.
6. 3 swings + 15 children = disaster
7. KLW should not be put on drink duty, ever....
8. Candy is the way to any child's heart.
9. If you say "potty" in a group of 3 year olds they all suddenly have to potty.
10. Shoes are pointless to every pre-schooler.

All kidding aside, VBS was great and if you would like to get a little taste of what we learned this week grab your bible and read James 1: 5.  God is GREAT, all the time!!

Much love,
Sissy Ducks

Ain't She Sweet......

At VBS there is a missions offering and there is a competition between the girls and the boys.  Whoever raises the most money for missions get to pie someone in the face.  So, In order to make sure the girls win KLW and I searched every nook and cranny of our house looking for change.  We even took a few coins from our daddy's money jar...how could he get mad it's for missions!!  During our expendition I found this little treasure...it's a letter KLW wrote when I was moving away to college...

MAW,
Where do I start? It seems like yesterday we were going on Nature Walks and climbing dirt piles w/ Devin and Ryan.  I will never forget the many times we had to rewind the Lion King to laugh our heads off @ Mufaso ooo say it again Mufaso ooo I hear that name and I shiver haha! Who am I going to go lay in bed w/ when I hear girls outside of my window or hear music coming from the attic? I know I'm going to hate waking up in the morning by myself and go to school and driving by myself.  Our sister list of quotes will now be short.  Now, I'm going to have to show mom and dad my progress report by myself and back myself up on things.  I'll have to call you and get you to do it over the phone. =) I know I can still call you and ask advice so I'm not to worried about that I'm ever going to miss our crazy fights.  I'm gonna miss your clothes.  I'm  gonna be lost w/out the critism. ( I never critized her so I don't know what she is talking about!!) It's gonna be hard knowing that your not across the hall anymore your more like an hour away.  Half of me will be leaving.  It's really gonna be hard walking by your room and it be empty.  You'll have to come have and stay in it a lot.  I know we have to grow up sometime but I wish we could stay little all the time! Even though your not going to be across the hallway you'll be in my heart and I will think about you all the time.  If you ever get lonely just come on home we'll be here I PROMISE! I wish you the best of luck in college! You'll do great! Your not only my sister but my best friend!

I love you!!
KLW

There are tear marks on the paper...so I must have gotten all emotional when I read it the first time!  However, today it has provided me with a reminder that although KLW can get on my nerves all the time, she can be sweet! 

Going Old School

When I said that I go on a morning WALK every day I was not using the term "walk" lightly.  I do not run. I can not run.  I look silly when I run. However, my Granddaddy had warned my cousin and I about a bull that was in the cow pasture and to be careful as we walked by.  Today my cousin and I were chit chatting so hard we did not realize the bull was at the fence...an electric fence!  We quickly noticed the bull when it hit the water trough and head butted another cow!!  We came the closest to running than we ever have!!

Then when I got home my kitten was acting a fool!....so I went back to sleep :)

And since nothing else exciting is happening out here in the country I figured I would post some old school pictures of me and KLW!  These two are my absolute favorite...

Aren't we so cute?!  Cinni-Mini had some great taste when she picked out that couch!

We look so innocent! hahahaha...this picture just cracks me up!

I hope these provided you with a little laugh!

Happy Monday,
Sissy Ducks

Saddle Ridge Ranch---Now OPEN

Yesterday our small town kicked-off our Vacation Bible School!  We have gone to bible school since we can remember!  The kick-off was held at our church's ball field---there were pony rides, carriage rides, face painting, sno-cones, hotdogs, and my specialty the "Saddle Ridge Ranch Salon"!

Here are a few pictures of some of my creations......

G-Man was my first victim and the tread setter of this madness!!

I learned my techniques at CentriKid camp at the Slaughter Salon.....

The Girl with the Curls was my favorite!  I made sure it matched her outfit!!

 If you aren't looking for a sweet up-do I can also do highlights.....

The "Punk Next Door" wanted Rockstar highlights!!

Please message me to schedule your appointment. 

P.S. KLW is back from her trip and the house is soo loud!!!

Toodles,
Sissy Ducks

She's got this place on lock-down...

Livin in the counrty has its perks....free membership to the GYM!  However my gym is a dirt road, but the scenery is GREAT!  We have pig houses, cows, and turkey house on our walking path.  Everyone in our family knows that my cousin and I walk every morning.  Yesterday my Grandma Jackie called and our conversation went like this....

GRANDMA: Did y'all go walking this morning?
ME: No it was storming
GRANDMA: When we went to check the turkeys we were looking for tire tracks and thought we saw some.
ME:  It might have been someone going to the pig houses
GRANDMA:  Probably, because we got out to look for footprints and didn't see any.

My Grandma keeps our little community on lock-down and if you are not where you are suppose to be she will know and will find out why!!

Love you Grandma!!
Sissy Ducks

***IMPORTANT*** KLW and I have a HUGE family and we would love to reach 50 followers!!  Please follow our blog so we can feel Super COOL!!

Turning this town upside down country style

OK!! I am blogging from my trip, so this will be short....maybe. So I was getting started and asked the lover what my title should be...here are the ideas! Either visiting (which I said was boring) and I suggested on the road again and the lover said "like you travel a lot" sooo that killed that title. So I made my title realistic!! I am visiting the city and boy have I turned this place upside down. Everything is so different in the city compared to back home. An example would be when we were cutting watermelon up. I said you want me to take that outside and throw it in the woods? Of course I got a weird look. I was like "what?" I was told that in the city they don't throw stuff out in he woods, they put it in the trash. I said well...we don't throw it in the woods no way, we toss it in the field. I wasn't cut out for the city. Also, I love visiting the city though. It is so much fun and I look like a kid in a toy store when we got out. I am looking at everything. I said man I cannot believe how close the houses are here. I said, that would be perfect back home cause we could just open the window and holler something. Especially if we needed something we could just toss it to the neighbor instead of walking a yard to go get it. I got some stares on that comment too. Apparently they don't talk to neighbors in the city. One thing though is that I am eating gooooood!!! The lovers family is half Italian so they know how to cook!!! Shaw!!! I am being forced to eat, I promise!! I'm outta here. Ttyl!! P.S. The lover wanted me to read this blog to him and I told the title, and I got laughed at and a weird look. I just cannot win.

Then there were three

KLW and I are so close in age I was never able to enjoy the benefits of a "younger" sibling. My parents deprieved me of 1.) enjoying being an only child--I don't even remember being an only child 2.) having a much younger sibling with cool toys and 3.) having a "younger" sibling so I could have an excuse to act like a kid and people not look at me like I'm crazy!!

I had given up all hope of another sibling, but in 2004 my prayers were answered!!  I not only got another sibling, I got another SISTER!!  I realize some of y'all are scratching you head, wondering if we have been hiding a child in our house for 6 years! Before y'all call DHS, I'm talking about the punk next door!!!  Just in case some of y'all haven't put everything together and are now thinking my parents had a kid, but made it live next door....this sister isn't actually "blood" related, but she is our little sister!

So when I went over to the punk's house for the first time I was like a kid in a candy store! She had POLLY POCKETS, BARBIE'S, and cool VIDEO GAMES!!  Every afternoon I would go over to the punk's house and play with Polly Pockets, Barbie's and no one would think I was weird (well I don't think they did).  Then one Christmas we hit a gold mine!  Santa Clause brought the punk a TRAMPOLINE!!! We never had a trampoline....KLW and I were like "sweet we got a Trampoline"....then our mom reminded us that it wasn't our trampoline and to get off and let the punk jump! 

Besides letting us play with her toys and maybe even not share her toys the punk has provided us with sooo much laughter!  We love her so much and can't wait to see what Santa bring her this year!!!

Introducing......."The Punk Next Door"

Just a few housekeeping notes....

1. Do y'all like the new design?!?
2. Cinni-Mini wasn't mad with her "10 Things" she actually thought they were funny
3. KLW is still out of town....and I'm bored

Peace out girl scouts,
Sissy Ducks

Still thinking about that pizza...........

First of all, let me change a few details that MAW wrote.  I am staying at home for 3 weeks and it is so much fun.  I love being around my family...well just about all the time.  I think with MAW and myself being at home, my parents lives have changed DRAMATICALLY!!! You can tell they are use to them two only being here.  I love being loud and getting them all in a tizzy.  I enjoy being home any chance I get.  Usually MAW does get up and go walking with one of our cousins every morning, I do not....I would much rather sleep in.  This morning Alex, our dog, had different plans for me.  Usually he will sleep in and we will get up when we decide to.  Well, this morning he woke me up at 7AM wanting to go outside.  Of course, I got up and took him out.  I figured I would just get right back to bed and go back to sleep...........DIDN'T HAPPEN!! I did go back and lye down but I could not go back to sleep.  Later MAW came home and any hope of me going back to sleep was out the window.  Once she releases Moxie from the room, it is time to get up.  Moxie usually comes and jumps on my bed and wants to play with Alex. 

When I heard MAW coming up the steps I was going to play a trick on her.  I was going to yell out something so random and she would be like..."what"  I did exactly that.  (that is what she is talking about in her post) So, I yelled out "Aloha Senor" and pretended to be asleep.  MAW walked into my room and I could not hold my laughing in...so I busted out laughing.  My plan had failed. Yes, she was pretty surprised that I was up at 7AM!! No, I am not a morning person, I would much rather stay up late and sleep in.  At night I usually just stay up reading until 2AM.  This is why MAW's morning has been hectic today.  Waking up at 7AM makes me crazy!!! No wonder I do not wake up at 7AM every morning.  I am just too silly...probaly so sleepy I have no idea what I am doing or saying. 

I absolutely cannot wait until my mom gets home and reads this blog.  She is going to laugh! I guess you just have to know our mom just to know how silly she is.  SHE IS SILLY!! She and I together is SILLY times 2! We always say silly stuff just to see what MAW's expression is going to be, and then we just laugh!  If I had to pick what my favorite thing was to do at home, it would be sitting on the couch with my mom and my sisiter acting crazy and just laughing.  As you can tell I love to laugh!!! I am so thankful that MAW, my mom, amd me are so close.  They are like my best friends. Even though I am a daddy's girl and us girls do clash a little bit, at the end of the day we are still best friends..   Okay...so now onto some cute stuff.  I want to introduce the animals!!!

This is Alex.  He loves sleeping and eating treats!! Occasionaly he will play with Moxie, other times he is stretched out in the recliner with our dad, or wherever my dad is.  Alex also thinks he is a "big" dog.  He likes to chase dogs that are almost twice his size.  We haven't told him yet that those dogs can eat him as a snack.

This is Roadey!!! My baby! He is an outside cat and LOVES to eat!!! My dad rescued him when he was a tiny baby.  My dad found him on the side of the road, that is how his name became Roadey (original right?) So, I am completely in love with Roadey.  He loves head scratches and treats.  Occasionally I let him come inside :)

This is our latest addition to the family.  My dad also rescued her.  She is Roadey's kitten but when he was babysitting her, she got stuck in the transmission of my dad's truck.  My dad got her out and ever since then we have kept her in the house.  As you can tell she is a DIVA!! She absolutely loves Alex.  The feeling is not returned though.  She can be snuggley when she is sleepy and that is it.  Other times, she wants to play or be left alone to nap.  I just laugh watching her play. 

I am going out of town today, so MAW will be doing the blogging until the weekend, and then I will be back. :)

See y'all later! :)

As far as that pizza....MAW broke down and went and got it!!

We Interupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program....

I have been living at home this summer and KLW has been taking summer school away at college.  However, a week ago KLW moved home for three weeks.  Here is our typcial daily schedule....I wake up at 6:00am go walking, come home watch tv (maybe go back to sleep), around 10ish find a sliver of motivation and do some chores around the house.  Then sometime after 11:00am KLW wakes up.  I eat lunch, watch Y&R, then do some more chores so when the parentals get home I look like I have been productive all day.

So, just like every other day I woke up at 6:00am to go walking, went walking, came home and walked upstairs to let Moxie out of my room.  As I walked past KLW's room I heard "Aloha senor".....I thought KLW was talking in her sleep, because she usually doesn't even know that I have gone walking.  So I went into our bathroom to brush my teeth and heard another noise come from her room.  KLW was AWAKE at 7am!!!  Even though she was awake I knew she wouldn't actually get out of bed (and ruin my daily routine--I love routines and silence).  I let Moxie out of my room and sure enough KLW was getting out of BED!!!  I knew if I looked outside I would see pigs flying!  Needless to say my morning has been hectic with a kitten pretending to be Spiderman, a dog who barks at the slightest noise, and a sister who has been asking what we were doing for lunch since 8:00am.

Now we are trying to figure out who is going to drive the 5 miles to the G-Barn to get a pizza.....we'll probably starve.  If you read this in the next hour we want a meat-lovers pizza from G-Barn--we'll pay you when you get here!

As Promised:  10 Things Everyone Should Know about Our Mom

1. She hates tomatoes, but can eat them if they are in spaghetti sauce.
2. When you are telling a story to someone, my mom will be mouthing words as you are telling the story.
3. She's not a fan of animals, but Alex loves to sit beside her and Moxie harasses her.
4. She drinks a Diet Mountain Dew every morning
5. She is starting a blog in German, so KLW and I won't be able to read it. (She doesn't speak German either)
6. She loves anything floral, green, burgandy, or black.
7. KLW and our mom get so silly they could drive you crazy (they say I'm just to particular)
8. She has a stash of good snacks, and always acts suprised when you find them.
9. She is the best mom in the entire world---she peels my peaches for me!

Introducing......Cinnie-Mini

That's all from me....KLW said she has a little something to add,
Sissy Ducks

and we were like "WHUT??"

After a whole summer of talking about starting a blog we FINALLY did!!  However, starting a blog is not as easy as we thought it would be. First problem: What are we going to name our blog? Of course our mother was FULL of ideas, which included: "Farmville Fans", "Two girls on a Farm", "Two Sisters and Their Mother"...so when we finally decided on Sassy Southern Sisters she thought we should add "and their Mother.."  Then we told her that was NOT happening...she pouted and said her and Alex (our dog) were going to start their own blog.  We'll keep y'all posted on that!! 

If y'all are as nosy as we are then y'all are DYING to know all about us (at least pretend to care it helps build character).  I (that being MAW) am the oldest sister.  I could monogram everything!  I have a kitten named Moxie and a dog named Alex.  I love reading blogs...especially the ones listed under "Other Links".  I recently chaperoned a kids church camp and decided it was time to rebuild my relationship with Jesus!  So right now my main focus in life is how to live a more Christian life!!

Sister #2 (KLW)...I realize I should probably let her do this part, but she's busy reading and I like being in control....well she's the younger sister.  She has a cat named Roadey (who is the father of my kitten).  KLW is VERY outspoken and is always up for a good time!!  *Disclaimer: I just asked her if she wanted me to add anything else and she said "no".

Aren't we sassy?

Well that's all for now!!

Love,

Sissy Ducks
