I love you tomorrow, you’re only a day away

Aggieland, Friends, Memories

I haven't even told y'all about the biggest excitement in my week. Tomorrow I get to go see the Aggies play. They're playing Army right here in town and Gulley's stepdad, Big Roy, got tickets for all of us. Even better, they're on the 50 yard line.P can't go because he's having Lasik eye surgery today and will be wearing goggles for the next 24 hours, but being the concerned wife that I am I made Read More

The little black and white dress

T.V. Love

For those of y'all who watch Project Runway, how glad were you that Laura won last night? Not only did I love her little dress, but I felt so bad for her because she was so down about last week. I mean this woman is pregnant with her 6th child. I have one child and have days where I can barely manage a coherent thought, so the fact that she is on this show coming up with brilliant designs amazes Read More

Get your fashion while it’s "haute"

T.V. Love

Last week I had nothing to say about Project Runway, not because it was boring, but because I was apparently stunned into silence by the rosettes on the back of Angela's silk capri pants. Angela had flashes of talent along the way, but in the end the rosettes did her in. Pun completely intentional.Watching Project Runway this week, I learned one thing if nothing else. I do not pronounce haute Read More

Continuing on with posts of a Cajun nature

Aggieland, Memories

Apparently today is Cajun day here at Big Mama's. Y'all never know what you're gonna get, do you?I read a WFMW earlier that was about blogging and one piece of advice it gave was to stick to a theme on your blog, so for today I'm sticking to a theme. As for the rest of the time...y'all can just file me under miscellaneous.A few weeks ago, my friend Hite discovered Big Mama. Actually, I had sent Read More

Some may boast of prowess bold, of the school they think so grand…

Yesterday morning I walked outside and discovered that it felt a little like Fall. Not much, but a little. The breeze was out of the north and just slightly cooler and my whole body sighed with relief that the end of summer is near. And with the end of summer comes...College Football baby.Specifically, my beloved Texas Aggies. They will open their season on Saturday against the Citadel at Kyle Read More

ABC is my new must see T.V.

T.V. Love

ABC is running a new promo for the fall telling us to Feel Thursdays. Y'all I am feeling it because Thursday is the new night for Grey's Anatomy this fall.I can't even watch the promo without wanting to cry at the sight of Izzie in her gorgeous, pink dress being carried by Alex after Denny died with that song by Snow Patrol playing in the background. Then when they show McDreamy looking at Read More

Ain’t nobody gonna talk to my mama like that

T.V. Love

Tonight's Project Runway was a perfect example of why the average woman has a hard time finding clothes. The majority of the designers had no idea how to design an outfit for a woman larger than a size 6.I loved when they brought out the designers' mothers for the challenge and it was a great twist to not pair them with their child. I started the show really liking Jeffrey when I saw his mama and Read More

Environmentally friendly is the only kind of friendly around here

T.V. Love

Well, my goodness...I finally watched this week's Project Runway and the cats were scratching. I guess the stress level is finally getting to them. That in conjunction with the fact that they had to make wearable clothing out of recycled garbage seemed to push a few people over the edge.Anytime you have to make fashion out of something you get at a recycling plant and a craft store...you know Read More
