Boys!

This is Kyle's "birthday twin" Cory - they were born within a few minutes of each other, of course Kyle was born in Topeka, Kansas and Cory was born in Augusta, Georgia. They're pretty different size-wise - Kyle's a giant next to Cory, but they are certainly spot-on in personality! Cory has a big sister, Cassie, who treats Kyle like a little brother, too. They're like this little "pack" moving around the daycamp each day!

Thriller...

Have you seen this yet? It's this prison in the Philippines doing "Thriller" - I've seen some wedding receptions where obviously the wedding party spent more time learning the choreography for Thriller than they did in choosing their wedding attire, but this one is by far the largest "Thriller" group I have ever seen! YouTube just cracks me up!

Thursday

I was prompted to call my friend Carol yesterday while listening to the 80s station on XM satellite radio. They were playing "Every Rose Has Its Thorns" and I realized it may very well be the worst song ever written! I knew Carol would laugh right along with me! Yesterday also happened to be the anniversary of MTV...August 1, 1981...of course that was when MTV was more than just crap television! Another MTV tidbit - I was reading the wedding announcements in the New York Times not too long ago (yes, it's true...I read the wedding announcements in the Times every Sunday...no sudoku or crossword puzzles for me, thank you very much!) and there was Alan Hunter's wedding story...the first MTV VJ had married some woman in Birmingham, Alabama. And the woman was too young to have even watched Alan on MTV...plus the fact that her parents didn't have cable (some of these wedding stories get very in-depth!)

This blogging thing could be fun. I can post random thoughts about anything at any time!

My first entry!

It's vain to assume that anyone will want to read my occasional musings on life, love, family, and all things southern to a non-southerner, but here goes! It was hard to decide what to actually call the blog - I mean I don't have any specific hobbies, etc. so I just went with my love of my home state and my current position as a southern belle!
