Brothers and Sisters

Since Episode #1, I have been a FAITHFUL follower of the ABC show Brothers and Sisters. I live for Sunday night's show, and must admit, life just isn't the same when I know B&S's will be a repeat.

Yes, last night was a new episode, but when the show ended, instead of eagerly awaiting next week's episode already, I found myself in total disappointment.

SHAME ON YOU KITTY WALKER. Shame on you for being a cheater. You have sunk to a new low - and I do not like it. It appears as though your shameful behavior will continue into next week, and that makes me sad also. See you Sunday night. I hope you spend this week with a gut pinching feeling for what you have done. ** A side note, I do completely understand that Robert is not being a top-notch husband... but it is moments like these that can define couples. It should be through tough times that you grow stronger as a couple.

A Shameless Plug

Recently, my sweet hubby started a great blog. He is smart, opinionated and passionate about economics, sports, and me of course ;). Go visit the crazy inner-workings of Cullen Mills' mind. Leave him a comment - his favorite conversations are those that challenge him.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today, you should bow your head, say a prayer, have a moment to remember those who suffered in the Holocaust. April 21st is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Here is to you Anne Frank. Thank you for your diaries.

Hand Prints make a difference

As I ran on the treadmill this weekend, I flipped through my People Magazine. This week's magazine had an advertisement for the Hand Print Project. It is a project benefitting Diabetes Research.

I know more people in my life who are affected by cancer than Diabetes... So, let's flip it. I want to know, if you had ONE WORD to express your feelings about cancer, what would your "WORD" be? By writing a word on your hand expressing your feelings about cancer, and sharing the story behind it, you’ll become part of a global community that puts a human face on cancer for all the world to see.

As most know, I can not do anything in ONE WORD... so, I created my own word. My word is:

JUSTBREATHE

Comment below. What is YOUR word??

I love Aprons!

I was born in the wrong era. I know I was supposed to be living the era where June Cleaver and I could be best friends. I know that I was meant to wear aprons, pearls and stiletto's all the time. Recently, I have been co-planning a shower for my dear friend Terra. All of the hostesses are wearing aprons. (I KNOW - HOW CUTE!) I found my dream website for apron purchasing. They are ADORABLE and inexpensive. Go check them out - and buy an apron. It'll change your kitchen and cleaning experience.

Because We're Going to the Chapel

...and we're gonna get married!! My sister got engaged this weekend! I am so excited for her, and the entire Hamner foursome. Love you all! Congratulations!

Dear Best Friend...

I was going through my pictures on my computer and found this fun picture we took at Christmas time. I love you. Happy Easter.

Happy Birthday Hayden

It appears as though I do not have a life outside of my niece, nephew and dogs. This post furthers that theory.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY

HAYDEN WAYNE HAMNER!!

There's No Crying In Baseball!

This weekend, Cullen and I joined my family at the first baseball game of Brittany and Hayden's 2009 series...or life. Brittany is old enough for co-ed coach pitch. She took the mound, and started the game as the pitcher and ended the game in the outfield, playing center field. She was great. She hit the ball, ran hard, made it home all without her hat on, "because I'm not really feeling like wearing a hat today." So, like a good aunt, I put it on my head, and sat back in the stands.

After the game, she got her team snacks (which Hayden and Brittany both say is the best part of the game!) and we wisked off to Hayden's game!

Tee-ball could lightly be described as Chaos. As the innings dragged on, more parents joined the field to direct traffic (from home to first, first to second, second to third..."no, no, this way. Don't chase the ball, go home! Run Home!!" from third back home). It was hysterical. Every child, (including the one who hit the ball) would chase after every ball, and divebomb into a pile. It was amazing we didn't see any blackeyes. Hayden sat patiently on the bench and waited for his turn to hit the ball... oh how cute is he:

And when he was in the field.... if someone else got to the ball before him, tears ensued. Not to worry, this wasn't just Hayden. This was every child. Oh, but it was so cute.

This does OFFICIALLY mark spring. Easter is this weekend. Baseball is in the air. Spring is here.
