I’m sure some of y’all came to Big Mama yesterday expecting to read about Emmitt and his glorious victory over the cheesiness that is Mario Lopez, and instead you got a story about rats. And for that, I’m truly sorry.
I was just giving the Mario fans a chance to get over the loss, because I know about the heartbreak of coming so close and then losing, because I am a Texas A&M football fan. Maybe we need Cheryl Burke to coach the Aggies…she couldn’t do any worse than Coach Fran.
And if you don’t know anything about college football and don’t watch Dancing with the Stars, you are completely lost at this point.
So, now I’ll give you my thoughts on Emmitt, along with some other miscellaneous things that are currently on my mind.
1. Emmitt brought it to the dance floor, y’all. It was Hammer Time and that my friends, is how you do old school. Do NOT break out in some tired break dance moves that you learned off some VHS tape back in 1986 called “So You Want to be a Break Dancer”. I know the judges loved Mario’s dance, but to me it just reeked of the cheese of cheesiness that has been his trademark all season.
Tuesday nights will be a little less bright now that Emmitt will no longer be sambaing and mamboing his way into my heart with that twinkle in his eye.
2. I’m a little sad about the fact that either I wasn’t invited to Tom and Katie’s big wedding this weekend or my invitation got lost in the mail. Of course, I’ll console myself with the fact that Oprah wasn’t invited either and he jumped on her couch over this whole relationship.
3. Speaking of celebrity pairings, how about K-Fed and Britney getting divorced? If those two crazy kids can’t make it, what chance do the rest of us have?
4. Caroline was up 4 times last night because she couldn’t sleep for a myriad of reasons such as her mouth hurt, her foot hurt, she was hungry and my personal favorite “I’m just not TI-RED.” She also told me at one point “waiting for morning is killing me”, and she in turn was killing her mama.
5. We went to the zoo a few days ago and I took this picture.
I think that leopard is either looking for a playmate or lunch, I can’t decide which one.
6. Gulley and I have a friend named Stephanie and she bought her little boy a nativity scene the other day so that he could learn the Christmas story. She told him the story and pointed out all the different figures in the nativity and then quizzed him. He named Joseph, Baby Jesus, the Shepherds, the Angel and then she picked up Mary and asked “Who is this?” and he said, “Oh Mama, that’s Gulley”.
Who knew?
Gulley said that she takes it as a sign that she might need a haircut and to start dressing a little better.
And on that note, I’ll wish you a Happy Friday!
