My tribute to the best dog I ever had...

We surely miss him. 

Hello all, well today we have our second soccer game... yikes. our last one was disatrous for me.. yea, not playing for a year has really taken its toll on me. but i think the team we're playing tonight is not as good as the other one we played (Byrd). . so we shall see.

Oh yea--Stephanie came home with me this weekend, and we had lots of fun! We finally got our Christmas tree -for the living room. And Laila got to decorate her VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE, tho we didnt get to finish.

well, i saw this on somebody's site, it's good--

20 ways to tell you're really from louisiana...

1. You can properly pronounce Lafayette, Bossier, Natchitoches, Opelousas, Shongaloo, Pontchartrain, Ouachita, Chopin and you know that New Orleans doesn't have a long "e" sound anywhere in it.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
