Monday Fun-Day

A very short CHA Homecoming 2018 video!! =)

The Jaceman is sometimes a hot mess! lol  He has a new habit of cracking his knuckles when he feels a lil' nervous, which is funny to me because it makes him look like he has ALL the confidence and swagger!!  I mean, he's not a shrinking violet or anything, but sometimes he gets kinda nervous... I cringed when I saw his hands in this pic - it just looks painful!

He was in the CHA pep assembly for being in Homecoming... I'm impressed with his ability to jump right in and hang out with the older kids! lol

Around this time last year, he gave me the "gift giraffe" and told me, "You can show it to your mom if you have one," while we were both sitting with her in the car. lolol

Apparently, he's still slightly confused or forgetful about the family connections.  This happened when Dad took him to the OSU game on Saturday:

I'd love to know what he was doing here. lol  Also, I'd love to know what they were thinking not giving him a pillow to carry the crown on... everyone was so worried he was gonna accidentally pull it apart!

He stayed the night with Mamaw that night (I was there for the night also).  Here he is in his Incredibles PJ bottoms and the T-shirt Rach made him... I was caught off guard when I read Class of '31.  How crazy is it to think about that!?  I hope blogger is still around then. =)

Happy Birthday (yesterday) to JEM, who spent his birthday morning running the Chicago Marathon!!  Congrats, Jeffrey!  And thanks for being a wonderful friend!!  

Here's a happy pic from a Sam n' Ella's trip for his bday a couple years ago! =)

Huzzah, my DVDs are finally back in their place, and I ❤ this cabinet even more now than I did before!

My movies, all alphabetized and ready to go. lol

Also... remember when I said I'd ordered a dress similar to the one Rach wore at Jayme's wedding?  I ordered it over a month ago, and when it came, I was surprised to realize it was actually the EXACT SAME dress!  I texted Rach this pic and told her I'll only wear it in Tulsa. lol  Hooray for online shopping at Tara Lynn's Boutique!  (I have to get both my dresses hemmed soon so I won't be stepping on them all over the place, but other than that, I'm really happy with them.)

Finally, I'm gonna sound like Mom saying this, but I'm so sick of Hollywood right now.  The critics who snub and ignore fantastic original movies like The Greatest Showman, movies that are incredibly well done and bring life and joy and hope to millions of people.  Then they flip out and fawn over the third remake of movies like A Star is Born that are strange and melancholy and depressing.  Throw in drug addiction and suicide, and you'll be an Oscar contender for sure.  When the fruit of the movies is life and light vs. death and darkness, the latter always wins in Hollywood, and I just find that irritating and truly sad!  ...I'm also sick of seeing scary movie previews, and personally, I find it revolting when Christians embrace them.  Like, it's an immediate no for me if a guy on eHarmony lists scary movies among his favorites.  Hard pass.  I shan't be inviting fear into my home or my life or the hearts and minds of my future adopted children; not now, not ever.

Mmkay, anyway, hooray for Columbus and for having today off work to sleep in and write!! =)
Happy Monday, gang!  Make it a great week ahead! ❤
