I realize it is probably not your fault that the Vikings self-destructed but I would sleep better knowing you weren't pulling for the Colts in the super bowl I would like to politely ask you to pull for the saints this Sunday because not only am I a huge Brett Favre fan but I also like the Colts and Peyton Manning.

By any chance, did you have them at Ouisie's? From your description, I'd say, yes - really, they are the BEST I have ever eaten. My arteries clog up automatically when I read this item on the menu! Love your blog - you have my kind of sense of humor! BTW, I'm a native Houstonian who went to college in San Antonio, and I SO know what you mean about that part of I10!

How sad is that? So fun seeing you this weekend, Melanie! You have such a gentle spirit about you. Hopefully next time we'll get to chat more about things other than Shred! Ha! Have a great week!

I can't believe you ate a grit. For some reason, I just can't get there. Don't know why. I did so love getting to hug your neck this weekend. You are one of my blogger heroes and I appreciate you allowing us to share your life. As woman who loves Jesus and the mom of two girls with a hunter husband, I can relate to so much of what you write. Thank you, Melanie! I read your SMT recap the other day, but forgot to comment!

Cause I've never had myself a helpin' of cheese grits, and after reading this, I think my life is not complete. Please don't tell me it's a restaurant only in HOuston, 'cause I would surely jump back in the car and drive another 3.5 hours just to get them! It was such a pleasure to meet you, Melanie! Thank you for coming over to greet me and give me a hug; my night was made. And I look forward to seeing you again sometime. Oh, and way to go on that Monster Freebird burrito...that's awesome!

B/c I can GUARANTEE you that if I buy it, it'll get the ax!! The last 2 times I've bought a vehicle, it's happened. What's up with that??

And I'd tell you not to feel sorry for him, b/c he's gotten approx. 1 MILLION WARNINGS for speeding. Yep, WARNINGS, b/c he has a nice little "get out of jail free" card that he pulls out, otherwise known as his Military ID!! The Police see that, forget about his infraction, SALUTE him and offer their thanks! Doesn't that make you a little sick?? (The part about giving him warnings, not the rest! ;) If you know of anyone in the military, you might pass along this little tip! ;) Anyhow, since that wasn't him, you can feel a little sorry and then thank the good Lord it wasn't you. ;) If I didn’t know that my BIL no longer owns a gold Maxima, I’d swear, except I don’t, that you were following him.

Having been born and raised in Illinois, I have an absolute hate-hate relationship with the Packers and Vikings. And to boot, I lived in Wisconsin for 12 years and watched Brett Favre become absolutely IDOLIZED from the newspapers to the television stations. It was absolutely sickening. (His day to day activities were considered more important than fallen soldiers, to give you any clue...) So THANK YOU for cheering for the Vikings! :) It gives me double pleasure that they lost! :) And keep up the good work on the blog - even that what you think is mundane often puts a smile on my face after a long day... :) I’ve been loitering around your website for a while now and just felt it ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to THANK YOU for cheering for the Vikings.

Your jacket was ADORABLE this weekend! Don't tell Caroline but my 5 1/2 year has his first loose tooth today-he was going nuts he was so excited! However I think he earned it since the poor baby started teething at three months and got his first two teeth at four months. Too funny!
