It’s like candy for the brain

T.V. Love

If any of y'all watch The Bachelor and come on, admit it, y'all know some of you do. I am going to give you the greatest gift a Bachelor viewer can receive. In fact, before I discovered it, I had pretty much stopped watching the show. But now that I know I have this to look forward to every Tuesday, it has once again made The Bachelor must see T.V. Where else can you watch catty women compete Read More

I use the term "celebrity" loosely here

Friends, T.V. Love

I haven't had the chance to finish watching this week's Project Runway. It is currently taunting me, waiting for me on DVR. I'll get to it right after Greys' Anatomy tonight. But until I do, here is a little Project Runway information.Gulley called me last week to let me know that her sister Sarah had a celebrity sighting a few nights before while eating dinner in New York City.Before I tell Read More

We will return to our non-football programming tomorrow

Aggieland, Friends

There is a quote by General Patton that is famous in Aggieland and last night as we played Army it was seen on t-shirts and signs everywhere.Give me an Army of West Point graduatesand I'll win a battleGive me a handful of Texas Aggiesand I'll win the warAnytime I see this quote, it always makes me so proud to be an Aggie.

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…

Aggieland

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
