I'm Baaaaack...
So we have scored a field goal. The game is now tied. There is something very ironic about this game that I just figured out. I will write just one sentence. LSU is playing the Hurricanes. I think with all that Baton Rouge went through they should have put another team in to play LSU. On the flip side you would think we would want to kick the tushies of the hurricanes after everything they (the real ones) did to Louisiana this year. Something to think about.'
Next thing...I have found the job I want. You know the guy that stands next to the upright and signals a field goal. That is a job I think I would be great at. I would only work weekends pretty much and I could just stand there and put my arms in the air. I wonder what that job pays. I guess I will have to look into it.
Gosh I had something else I wanted to write about this evening, but I cannot remember what it was. I am now pretty impressed with Matt Flynn. He is not afraid to run when he doesn't have someone open. OH MY GOODNESS WE JUST SCORED A TOUCHDOWN. Can
someone tell me why we did not go with Flynn to begin with. Also Matty you need to remember you hold the ball during the kick. Stop running off the field.So now to put the readers on the spot...When is someone going to come and visit us. I know Mom is coming this month, but that leaves 11 months more in the year. I would like to schedule some visits from people. So here are the dates that Marie has a holiday:
Spring Break #1: March 13-17
Spring Break #2: April 14-21
School gets out on May 25th. We have two spring breaks this year because the second time off is Good Friday/Easter along with the Catholic teachers conference. I would like if one of these times is the same as my sisters break to come down and clean sweep her two spare bedrooms and decorate for the baby. That is if she wants me to come down. She will have to let us know if either week is the same an
d then I will need some Austin family to be willing to play with Marie while I clean! So just let me know. Also Carmen I need to know if you want me to paint the baby furniture that we bought a few years ago in anticipation of us having another baby. If you want to use them and we don't get pregnant in the next few months let me know.

Hopefully LSU will be able to hold on and win this game. Keep your fingers crossed. Here are some more pictures of Marie for your entertainment. Love to all.
I feel like some peach cobbler...
Greeting all who are reading. Not really sure who other than my mom read on a regular basis but welcome to all and welcome back mom. I am sitting here getting ready to watch the Chick-fil-A peach bowl and I could really go for some Chick-fil-A right about now. Some peach cobbler also, but alas I will make due with the pizza we ordered. Too bad you can't get peach on pizza. I will make due with the pineapple I ordered. The reason I am not talking details about the game is because I am a little nervous about the game. We have our back up quarterback in the game and this would be his first ever game to start. Luckily the first kick was out of bounds so we get ok field position to start. Please oh please do well Matt Flynn and DON'T throw any interceptions. Ok I feel a little better because Matt's first play got almost a first down. Ok off football no wait he did a pretty pass. Oh my gosh can you see that I am a girl. Next thing you know I will start discussing the clothes. Well Miami is wearing a beautiful orange shirt to match the theme of the evening, Peaches, while LSU is wearing their white jerseys which are just going to get dirty. OH MY GOODNESS!
Marie is doing good. She is being loud and full of energy. I cannot believe she starts back to school on Monday. We drove around the block yesterday and she is doing much better. About half way around the block she told me that the driving hurts her shoulder. I also got my foot run over. Imagine if it was a real car and she ran over my foot. Wow, JJ is SO teaching her how to drive. (yes JJ you are doing it!) Times like this really make me miss my powpow who taught me how to drive. If he were still alive I could just ship her off and when my car came back it would be nice and clean and shiny from armor all. Hmmmmmm maybe my dad should teach her how. He will be teaching Vanessa so he could just do both at the same time. I really like that idea and I know JJ would LOVE that idea.
Ok back to how I got my foot run over. There is this stupid little truck that parks over the sidewalk. There is no way for us to just run over the grass at their house so we have to go out in the street. So I stand in the street so she has to turn the wheel and not go very far in the street. Well we (meaning Marie) cannot figure out how to exit the side walk and turn the wheel quickly so as not to go straight at me! So as she is about to hit me she turns the wheel and instead runs over my foot. I was not a happy camper! That was our last time around the block yesterday and the last time I am taking her around the block by ourselves!
Football update...Miami just scored a field goal in the first quarter. There is something to be said about wearing the color of the fruit of the game.
Ok I must break now and eat, but I am sure I will be back with some more useless information soon. Love to all!

All I want for Christmas Next Year is....
I have fallen in love with one of Marie's Christmas presents. She got color wonder markers and I just love them. I will be going out to purchase my own so I don't have to share! I just thought I would let everyone know about my new addiction. I spent more time on Christmas day coloring than Marie did. She also got the color wonder finger paints and for those parents reading this I have to give my mixed opinion about them. First off we are already out of the paints. The are very oily and while they don't get color all over everything they do get an oily substance all over. Marie used all of them on about two pictures. Also the colors are not very pretty. The red looks more like a brick color and the other colors are pretty dull. So waste of money in my opinion. I do however like the fact that I have no paints anywhere in my house, but I just won't buy any paints instead of buying the color wonder ones. I will however always buy the markers. I just love how you can't get colors out of the lines so even if you are not a perfect artist you can't tell.
Well we are getting ready for the new year around here. I am going to start taking down the tree and the rest of the decorations tonight. When JJ is off on Friday we are going to try and take down the outside lights. It is about time to go back to normal seeing how Marie goes back to school on Monday. Not much of a break, but also not enough time for her to get bored with things. She is still enjoying all of her toys she got for Christmas. I am not enjoying all the new stuff to clean up, but we are working on finding places for everything. Hopefully we will get it figured out real soon.
Not much more around here so I will close unless something big happens in the next few minutes. Oh Marie is getting better at driving her car so hopefully soon we won't be spending more time on the grass than on the sidewalk. I will keep everyone posted. Love to all.

Christmas Thanks!
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the gifts we received this Christmas. We are very lucky to have such a generous family. Marie played with her toys all day while JJ and I got some well deserved rest. Santa brought her a barbie Jeep, courtesy of a guy who works in JJ's office, so we had to spend some time outside learning to drive. Most all of our neighbors have little wheel marks in their yards! I am sure eventually she will get the hang of it and if not she can practice until she is 16! I think she had a great time driving along and would be much better if she would pay attention to driving and not playing with the gadgets in the car. A quote I heard a few times was "Marie put the phone down and drive" I think JJ's favorite gift is his slippers since he has had them on the entire day. They are slippers with little flashlights on the toes that light up when he goes into the dark. They are really cool. I just don't think I can even decide which is my favorite gift. I got such cool stuff, but especially love my ipod docking station. (Thanks Kiki!) So again thanks to everyone and we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Love to all!
Oh and Maple did not wait for her gift to be taken off the cardboard before she started!
Merry Christmas
Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Yes we are still up. We finished putting together toys and are about to hit the bed. We have Marie sleeping in the middle of us so she can't get up before we do.
So enjoy your day and rejoice Christ is born today! We love you all!
So enjoy your day and rejoice Christ is born today! We love you all!

The Sweetest Story Ever Told
I have to say a huge thank you to the Ezell family for the gift they brought over to the house. I have to share this with everyone because it really helps you realize what this season is really about. Anyway Dana brought us a plate of cookies with a card.
The front of the card has a picture of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in the manger. It says Did you know the story of Jesus is the sweetest story ever told? Enjoy the cookies and the story they tell.
The inside had the following story.
An angel brought the glorious news to the shepherds that a Savior had been born.
Wise men followed a bright star to the manger where Jesus lay.
They brought precious gifts much like the gifts we have under our tree.
The best gift of all that day was Jesus. God sent His only Son that whoever accepts Him into their heart will have life everlasting and go to heaven.
Let the bells ring out this holiday season as we celebrate Jesus' birthday and God's greatest gift to us.
Ok so on the plate of cookies there was an angel, star, Christmas tree, heart, and bells. I just think it is such a great present to give to someone this holiday season. I just had to share this with everyone. Thanks again Dana!
Note on my last post: I realized tonight that my Christmas tree and tree skirt are Martha Stewart. Not sure what I am really going to do about keeping them. I think I will have to keep them because our tree is so cool. It rotates! I will have to think on this for a while.

I have an announcement to make...
No I am not pregnant. If you want that news please visit my sisters blog! So my big announcement is (you might need to sit down for this) I am no longer obsessed with Martha Stewart.
I guess I need to give a little history to my obsession and how it has come to pass. First off I have always wanted to be Martha Stewart, work for her, and have every product she makes. I would even be willing to go to jail with her if I could come out looking so good. (Not really, but follow the strength of my obsession) Ok so I think she is great. However things started to change when she no longer had control over MSLO. Her magazine articles became boring and not as glamorous as they used to be. The ideas where no longer on the cutting edge and no longer set the trends they used to set. I have also found she has diversified so much that the reason I love her (GREAT ideas, beautiful books and magazines, and did I say great ideas!) well there was nothing to grab on to.
Unlike most I find the stuff she did very easy to duplicate and loved the results. I do in fact enjoy dipping pumpkins in glue and rolling them in glitter to make center pieces. (Haven't gotten around to doing this, but I still have time) I still have one of my first projects I copied and it is on our door every Christmas. (I made a wreath out of bells!)
Ok so I cancelled my subscription to the magazine. As I said it was getting boring and after something like 10 years I could not get them to change my name from Mr. Jamie to anything else! I don't even miss getting it which really surprised me. I also used to be able to spend hours on her website, but no longer. Then tonight happened....
I have been following her show, Martha Stewart Apprentice, religiously. I was so jealous that I did not get to compete, but that is Martha's loss. For those of you who did not follow, it came down to Dawna and Bethenny. Dawna is the corporate type who in my opinion does not have a creative bone in her body. Bethenny however is very creative. She is a little high strung, but her ideas were always so creative. I can also be a little high strung so I can totally relate. Until recently when I thought of Martha Stewart I thought of new ideas and trends in homemaking. So I thought for sure Bethenny would be a great pick to start bringing her back to her creative side. Well I guess I was wrong. She chose Dawna. Then to top it off she announces another new venture. A new magazine something like body and soul or some crazy nonsense like that. Well Dawna is the perfect person for that venture, but how can Martha add another thing to her line when I feel like she is forgetting about her true fans who have tried to stay with her, but can't seem to find anything to grab on to anymore.
Oh wow I am so upset and disillusioned. Someone I considered an idol has really over the past few months let me down. I really relied upon her for some of my creativity and loved when people called me a young Martha Stewart. Now however I do not want anyone to tell me I am being Martha Stewart like. I am actually considering getting rid of my Martha Stewart label maker. Probably not because it is so pretty.
So now I am in search of a new creative icon. I know I should become one, but I would have to get a following and would have to start a magazine or some sort and am not sure where to start with that. So I guess any ideas would be great!
Luckily I do have a new magazine that I can curl up with called Real Simple. Nothing like Martha creative wise, but I do get good ideas for shopping from it. I should probably no longer read it because I always want everything and that can't be good. I just don't know what to do. Oh what to do and where to go........
Other than that nothing more is going on around here. I just got back from Austin for my Granny's birthday party. It was so nice to see everyone there, but it made me wish we lived closer so we all could have gone. I was a little upset that I missed seeing my father who came in on Tuesday and I left Monday. Perhaps if he told me he would be in town I might have stayed. Hint hint Dad stay in touch! (I still love you!) We are in the process of getting ready for Christmas. Marie is very excited about Santa coming and I am ready to open my presents! I have some cleaning to do tomorrow and then JJ is off on Friday. We are going to get some steaks because that is what we are doing for Christmas this year. I felt like doing something different because with only the three of us there was no need for tons of food. I have not decided which Mass to go to this year, but will figure that out tomorrow. Well my hair is wet and I need to dry it. Love to all and I will post again soon. Sorry I don't have any pictures. I am just too upset......

Christmas Wish List Updated
Ok. Everyone is being so good to us this year that I have to update Marie's Christmas wish list. The only things left on the list are the following...
Leapster Electronic Book Finding Nemo - $19.99
Leapster Recharging Kit - $29.99
Fisher Price Star Station - 49.99
Polly Pocket Pet Friends Gift Set
Leapster Software: Sponge Bob Square Pants
Polly Pocket Rock n Roller Coaster Hotel
I hate to even say this, but just about all of these things are sold out online and most are even gone from the stores. I guess Marie knows how to pick the popular toys this season.
Now I have had some questions about what else I want. So here are some more things.
Creative Memories
Galaxy Micro Maker - $8.00
Mini Circle Maker - $16.00
Borderlines Pattern 'n letter ruler - $6.50
Tape Runner Refills - $4.75 (I can use tons of these)
Rainbow Fine Tip Pens - $10.60
Pastel Fine Tip Pens - $10.60
Journaling Mate Case - $8.50
Shades of Black and White Paper - $6.00
Memory Mate Case - $12.00
Burberry Scarf (Long one)
Burberry Blanket (I wish)
Ok I feel as if I need to explain why I want creative memories items when I am a Stampin' Up consultant. I LOVE stampin up for making cards and gifts, but with this new catalog I feel like they have drastically reduced their line of scrapbooking supplies. I am also not happy with the albums they have currently. I have also been running through the markers at such a high rate. When they changed to the new markers I have found the brush tip is not holding up and also I am running out of ink a LOT faster. For example I have had my markers for something like three years. Well obviously they are starting to run out which by the way it is amazing they have lasted so long. I purchased all new bold brights about 6 months ago. I have already had to replace the real red. So the short end of it is I have separate stuff for my card making and my scrapbooking. Except of course my stamps. NOBODY will ever make a better stamp, stamp pad, or matching colors than Stampin' Up. I am still VERY loyal to their original line which is card making supplies. They are the best company in the world for card making supplies which is my first love. Until Stampin' Up expands their scrapbook line I have to look for other suppliers. I don't think Stampin' Up will expand because it does not make good business sense.
Ok now that I have given my commercial for how GREAT stampin up is for card making supplies I think I will get going for tonight. I need to get on to sleep because we have church tomorrow and then we have to clean because we have company coming tomorrow night. Hopefully Richie and Michele will be able to stay more than just overnight! Love to everyone and thanks to everyone for being so generous this season.

All I have to say is...
it snowed. I thought we were over this when we moved from Ohio to Oklahoma. Mind you it was not as bad as Ohio but still. I thought I moved to the South. I guess this proves yet again that the real south does not start until you hit Texas!
FYI: Current Temperature 16. Feels like ZERO!

Christmas Lights
I guess since we are not having company this Christmas (and since my sister posted on her blog) I should post pictures of our Christmas decorations. JJ did a wonderful job this year. Last year in case anyone remembers he was in Alabama so the decorations were less than stellar because I put them up. He borrowed our neighbors extension ladder and was able to get the top peak of th
e house. We let Marie pick out which two buddies we would put in the front yard and then the rest was just put together from stuff I got on sale last year. We are very happy with what we did and will probably add something else after Christmas this year as we always do. It was JJ's idea to put the red and green lights in the porch lights and if he had his way and we had tons of money he would have put red and green lights in all of our spot lights and walkway lights. So I hope everyone enjoys the lights as much as we have enjoyed them already! Love to all!

I am sure there is more that Marie wants, but I don't remember. She comes and tells me something almost daily so I will update when she tells me more. I ask everyone to please not send Stuffed Animals, Barbies, or Polly Pockets other than the ones listed. I realized we have 16 barbies and an entire case of pollies.
So far this is our list so I hope there is something you can find that is interesting! Love to all.
Clean Sweep
Some of you know this, but for those who don't I will fill you in. I decided to do a clean sweep on Marie's bedroom. (Clean Sweep is a TV show on TLC) Well the main point of clean sweep is to get all of your stuff out of the room and go through it. So I did just that. I pulled ALL of her stuff out and put it in the hallway and various different locations through the house. What started all this is the fact we got Marie a loft bed for an early Christmas present. (Loft bed is an elevated bed where she can play under. This bed is not very high as JJ can still stand next to it and read her a story) Anyway after everything was out and all over the house I cleaned the carpet thanks to my neighbor Jenna and her steam cleaner! Then it came to my mind that we were supposed to have company on Wednesday. (this was Monday by the way and the bed came Tuesday) So I had to work and work and work, but let me tell you it looks beautiful. You can now see no toys. They are all under the bed and the bed came with curtains to cover everything up. A neat freaks best friend! This morning I put everything under and feel so good about her room. Actually there is an exception. I need 
hooks hung in her closet so I can hang all of her bags and purses and get them off the floor. Then after I clean the rest of the house I am going to go though all of her clothes. Some how she hit a growth spurt and nothing fits her! I am not looking forward to the teenage years.
So we have done the clean sweep thing and there are a lot of stuffed toys that are going to charity. We still have not even made a dent in her stuffed toys, but we took out what she would not miss! It is getting close to time to leave for school and since someone requested breakfast in bed she is still in bed! I figured it was the first night in her new bed so....
PS When I get home in a little while if I get the kitchen floor cleaned I will post our Christmas wish list. If not it will get posted later this evening! So stay tuned!

Skating/Christmas
Happy day before Thanksgiving! As promised here is the first picture of Marie skating. She did in fact leave the wall and had a good time. We had to pretty much bribe her to leave because she did not want to. I know she will want to go back again soon. She is already talking about having her birthday party at the skate rink. How many months away is that seven?!
Well we are getting ready for the big day tomorrow. We are having ham and the fixings in a very laid back setting. We plan to clean the house tonight or during the day tomorrow and then pull out all the Christmas decorations and get ready for the next holiday.
I have such wonderful news for everyone! I have finished my Christmas shopping except for Marie! There are still some things that I have to make, but the purchasing part is finished. I cannot tell everyone how excited I am about this. It has been such a jungle in the stores the past few days that I cannot even imagine what it is going to be like closer to Christmas. I think I am going to get whatever we want for Marie online this year!
Well I need to get to cleaning this messy house so I can start getting in the Christmas spirit tomorrow. Plus I have a toll house pie to bake for JJ. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Harry Potter
Ok I just finished watching the latest in the line of Harry Potter movies. I hate to even be saying this, but I was not impressed. As a person who has read all the books I was completely confused while watching this movie. It felt very choppy and left out SO much important stuff. I won't go on for days and list everything just take my advice. If you liked the last one wait until this one comes to the dollar theater. Don't waste your time or money on it.
I will post more tomorrow with some pictures of Marie's first roller skating party!
Good night!

Blog Change
Ok I had my first blog spam so I have had to add a special step in order for everyone to post comments. You will just have to go through one security verification where it shows you some letters and numbers and you just type what you see. Also I have allowed anyone to post comments even if you are not registered. So grans you can now post any and all comments.
So sorry about the added step. I can't believe I am already dealing with spam on my second day. As JJ put it these are probably a bunch of kids who need to have their computers taken away.
Goodnight for now...

Oh so much...
Wow today has been quite eventful. Well not so much, but I am going to post anyway. Marie had pom class this afternoon after school. For those of you who do not know what pom is well it is a class where they are teaching Marie cheers and dances. She loves the classes. After pom we came home and JJ had a fire lit in the fire pit. We grilled italian sausages and ate outside. It was a little colder than I thought it would be so we kind of wrapped up and ate. Then we roasted marshmallows and made smores. This was the first time Marie had a smore that was cooked the correct way. I can't believe we have not taken her camping. She did not want to come inside and talked about wanting to bring her sleeping bag outside to sleep. I don't think so!
It was a very fun evening. I have to say I really love my family. We have so much fun together. We really laugh a lot which is such a great thing!
Well the evening was going ok until I hear JJ raise his voice. Apparently Marie pulled her her curtain rod out of the wall. Well it is now sitting in the living room and she was put to bed about 40 minutes ago. We had told her not to touch the rod, but she is 5 and it goes in one ear and out the other. I really don't want to put the rod back up since it is right by her bed, but they are room darkening and they really help her sleep longer. Perhaps we will have to buy some new blinds that will take care of that. Any ideas?
I need to go and find some hobby to work on. I have finished a lot of stuff and have been avoiding starting anything else, but I realized today while I was sitting at pom that I had no book or cross stitch to work on. I will have to change that. Oh by the way I am so excited! I was given the position of prayer leader in my bible study! We only have three more sessions this go around, but they want me to pick the next study and lead it. By the way does any one have any suggestions for a study to work on. I am looking at Life Management for Busy Women by Elizabeth George but I am still really open for suggestions! Beverly...Aunt Barb...Aunt Patty...Grans...Carmen...Christine
Off to find a new hobby! By the way Grans or Carmen can you pass along my site to Aunt Barb and Aunt Patty. I do not have their email addresses. It is on my computer that JJ has been working on for a few months so I don't have it. Thanks!
First New York Post
November 3, 2005
Day 1
Up at 3:30 a.m. to leave for the airport at 4:00 a.m. Our plane left ontime and we went through Dallas with a short stop then off to New York La Guardia. We landed at 11:50 a.m. ten minutes early. The approach was what I only could dream of. First I saw the statue of liberty. It looked so small on the island and in the middle of the harbor. Then the Manhattan skyline. It is what I always dreamed it would be, stunning.
So we got our luggage, got in a cab and started on our way to the hotel. Well the taxi driver stopped us a block away from the hotel and then told us we had to walk to the hotel. Well we were not about to drag our luggage. The cabbie tried to tell us it would take an extra hour to make the block. Well we made him take us directly to the door. He was so huffy about it so he only got a thirty cent tip.
The hotel was so cute and from the moment we entered everyone was so nice. We were too early so we could not check in, but could leave our luggage and go out and about. We did however find out that for some reason we had been upgraded to a jr. Deluxe king room. Not to look at gift horse in the mouth we said great and went to find lunch.
On our way to Trump Tower we passed radio city music hall (the musicians were striking), the ice rink, St. Patrick's Cathedral and so many other places. We ate in the bottom of Trump Tower. I had a cajun turkey sandwich (it was surprisingly spicy), a piece of white chocolate mousse cake and a sprite. They had the 'good' ice! (same as sonic ice!) The food was yummy, but pretty expensive.
We left lunch to find the Fendi flagship store that was supposed to open today. Well obviously our invites got lost so....We went to Tiffanys. They have elevator attendants! I bought two things. A present and then a ring for me. The ring says "Please return to tiffany's" I love it!
We left there and went to Bergdoff's shoe department. There were so many pairs of Manolos that I could have passed out! My dream pair, that I did not know existed, a pair of cheetah print kitten heel shoes, were there. They are still there :(
We left the store and went by the Plaza hotel, it is closed for remodeling. We were on the side of central park. Then through times square to our room.
We got checked in and what a room we have! We have so much space and there is even a couch. We were a little too tired having gotten up early and walking all day so we went to a place called Smiley's. It is like a convenience store with a buffet I got sesame chicken, noodles, papaya, pineapple, chicken Caesar salad, yogurt and a cherry coke. When we walked back after filling up our to go plates we went back through times square. I was so shocked by how many lights were on! It was brighter tonight than it was during the day. Off to sleep!

Day 2
My eyes popped open a little after six. I took my shower, got ready, and we hit the road. We walked to where they tape the today show. We saw Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, and Al Roker. We got a great surprise when across the street at the ice rink at Rockefeller center Dorothy Hamil was skating. She looked so beautiful and graceful skating along.
We met two ladies who were going to run the marathon on Sunday and exchanged info with them. We considered going on the NBC studio tour, but instead decided to go to the top of the rock (top of Rockefeller center). We found out it just opened on the 1st. We got a coupon for buy one get one free tickets. We took a very cool elevator to the top. They had a clear ceiling that projected pictures. Also all the way up there were neon light sticks leading the way up. The view was amazing! You could see for miles. It really gave me a great perspective on the city. Wow what a view!
From the top of the rock we headed out for some shopping. American Girl, Burberry, Barney's, and Bloomingdales. I have discovered at Barney's there is no way I can ever afford to purchase anything at all! I am in love with Burberry. I want the $695 long poncho, but will dream about that for a very long time! In my dreams!
After shopping we went to China Grill to eat. The food was great. I had Confucius chicken salad that four people could have eaten and still have leftovers and then crab cakes. Susan had these wonderful crispy spinach. If every veggie was like that I would become a vegetarian!
After lunch we came back to the room to freshen up before heading to Queens for the taping of Hope and Faith. We left and walked to the subway. Yikes! It wasn't as bad as I expected. I was so freaked about things that I made sure I brought antibacterial wipes for the ride to Queens and then some for the way back! It was much cleaner than I thought. There was no spray paint anywhere. The only graffiti was etched on the windows.
We got off the subway at Hunter's Point and went out to catch the shuttle to the studio. We checked in and waited then were let inside the studio. After of course going through a metal detector and having our purses searched.
The set looked SO good. It was just like I was with them. We got settled and come to find out we had this audience warm up guy named Phil Stiller who was hilarious. He was there to keep us entertained. He did this in so many ways such as called our loved ones and talking to them. We got them to call JJ. Phil asked him where he was at and JJ said a birthday party. Phil asked him why he was having a birthday party for me while I was gone.. JJ came back with a "they are more fun without her." Well the audience went against JJ. Before they got off the phone Phil made JJ tell everyone in the audience how wonderful I am. JJ also made some comment that I cannot remember that Phil responded with "well she married you didn't she?!" Well I got a hat out of the deal which I want Kelly Ripa to sign.
I found out that the studio we were at as the same studio where they taped sex and the city! Chris Noth had once been there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the lady who does the costumes for Hope & Faith, Patricia Field also clothed the sex and the city girls. She really stood out with her RED hair and a yellow jacket that had black cat fireworks advertised on the back. What an outfit, but she coud totally pull it off.
This taping was better than I ever could have imagined. They fed us pizza and cookies and gave us "Hope and Faith" water. The cast interacted with us. It was SO great. Faith Ford made a joke that made me laugh so hard. They were talking about boys being brownies and Phil asked what they would be called and Faith said brownies with nuts! It was really nice to see how the taping went. They would perform then the director would tweak a few parts or rewrite then they would do it again and continue the process until they were happy.
There were mistakes of course in the episode we saw. (#310 which will be aired on November 25th so watch) Ted threw his award on the table and it broke. Also when Ted was going upstairs but first had to do an impression of the hulk he could not stop laughing. Oh my Ted is SO cute! He does not look a day older than he looked in Happy Days! After they finished taping they did a Christmas PSA and one to run during the soul train awards. Kelly had a hard time getting the words out correctly. It was so great to see when they were finished the cast were all hugging each other and really looked like they all cared about each other. Oh I forgot that the three kids were sitting during downtime doing special handshakes. Then the youngest two were throwing a tennis ball to each other. During downtime Paulie Litt came up in the audience and sang Frank Sinatra. He is so darling!
When the taping finished we got back on the shuttle to the subway and rode it back to Manhattan. It was very well lit and I was not worried for on minute about being underground.
On our walk back we saw a movie being taped called gardener of Eden. It did not look interesting so we came back and got in our jammies. They delivered our milk and cookies and we are about to go to sleep...finally!
If you have made it this far you will have to stay tuned for the next few days.

T.G.I.F.
We had our first comments!! Thanks Dad for taking care of that for me and Grans don't worry if you couldn't get your comments posted I was happy to get an email from you.
In answer to a few questions I have received no we are not going to have a turkey. I bought turkey lunch meat if anyone really needs their turkey fix. I like to just go to the honey baked ham store and pick out my ham and then I am done. I have also discovered their excellent sides so since we are not having company I got their sides and will cheat this year. If we were to ever have someone join us for thanksgiving then I do the real stuff, but since JJ won't eat most of the stuff I like the idea of not having a major mess to clean up.
In answer to my next question I had "what is a blog?" well it is a lot of things to a lot of different people. For us it is a way for me to have a running dialog with everyone and feel like we are much closer than we really are. Plus it is an easy way for me to share pictures and news that some times I might forget to send in an email.
I am so happy to hear that Dad is safe in Egypt. I wish you were here so you could share in our ham and I might just make a turkey if you were here. Probably not since the honey baked ham store does a nice turkey. We all want to see pictures from you trip so maybe you need to start one of these to let us know what all is going on. Or if you want I can give you permission to post on our blog and you can post pictures here. Just let me know what you want to do. I know everyone is just really curious because I don't think any of us has been to Egypt nor will we go with the exception of Carmen our world traveler.
Speaking of Carmen I got her this wonderful Christmas gift that I want to annoy her that I am going to keep a secret from her. For those of you new to this blog Carmen is my sister and we cannot keep anything from each other. This year however I want her to have a big surprise. So if anyone else wants to know what I got her email me and I will let you know.
Well Marie and I have to leave for school in five minutes and she is not finished with breakfast nor is she dressed. Hopefully some interesting stuff happens today so I can have something more to post. Love to all and thanks for reading this far.

First Post
Greetings from Oklahoma! Marie just got out of the bath and wants her dessert while JJ and I are watching Law and Order. Typical night for the Muffoletto family!
Just to let everyone know we are staying here for Thanksgiving this year due to work. I have bought our Honey Baked Ham and the sides and we are going to spend a hopefully relaxing weekend together.
The weather has finally gotten cold here, but not cold enough to put the heat on. Perhaps the way things go we will not have to turn the heat on at all.
All for now. In the next few days I will start posting the info from my New York trip! I wrote each night about what I did so I plan to type it up so everyone can see. Until then enjoy the pic of Marie.
