My new family leaves in a couple of hours and I’m sad.

Grant, Anne, and Brian
Aren’t they the cutest family ever? I’m really going to miss them. I can’t believe it’s already been five days! Thank God I took today off. Grant kept forcing beer into my hands until the wee hours of the morning and I’m a bit wobbly this morning.

I’ll post pics of Graceland and of Elvis’s birthplace soon.

Here’s a pic of the two mums:
Goodbye Leckie family, you’ll be missed.

Yes, I live in Oxford, MS home of the Ole Miss Rebels. But I’m a HAWG fan through and through.

And today, my Piggies are playing Ole Miss in Fayetteville.

Go Hogs! Kick some Rebel ass!

(Grant is wearing his Razorback shirt, even though he’s a Huskers fan now. Ain’t that sweet? Makes a mum proud.)

Well, their 9 hour drive turned into about an 11 hour drive due to traffic in Nashville and some awful weather, but wee Grant and his charming parents did make it safely to Oxford last night.

It was great meeting Anne and Brian and having Grant back in the house. (though, I think he was a little overwhelmed with two mums in the same room. LOL) His real mum told him he was lucky to have two mums…

I think we’re going to take a tour of Memphis today. Graceland, The Pink Palace, maybe the Memphis Zoo. Should be a good time.

Yup.

And actually, I only have to work til noon today. Isn’t that awesome?

You know what the best part is? I won’t be back at work until Wednesday. That’s right! Wednesday!

Yay me!

Grant and his family will be here tonight. I don’t know if I’ll be cooking dinner or not for them–my guess is probably not because it’s a long drive from Kingsport, TN. Almost 9 hours. And they’re not gonna leave until about noon, so that puts them here around 8 (with the time change). They’ll probably be dog tired and very hungry long before they arrive.

I am going to make an apple pie though, cuz I promised. I make good apple pie. Damn good, actually. If you want, I’ll save you a slice…

Simon messaged me last night. He seems to be doing well. He’s coaching two teams for Birmingham County Women’s League. One of the teams he’s coaching is Solihull Reserves team. If you look under the management link, he’s got a cheeky little picture posted. We’re gonna call him this weekend while Grant is in town. Of course, I won’t be able to understand a word the Brummie Boy says, but it’ll be fun trying.

Yup.

Dear Blog Readers,

This could be my last blog for a while because I’m an idiot.

I was supposed to report for jury duty today and FORGOT!

Yes. I forgot.

If they cart me away in cuffs, I’ll do my best to write…but I don’t know how often they’ll give me a break from the chain gang to check in.

God. I may have to wear an orange jumpsuit! I look horrible in Post-It Note orange! And nobody looks good in a jumpsuit.

Actually, it’s not as serious as all that–though I’ll admit to being more than a little concerned when the call came in…

All I had to do was complete an affadavit stating why I failed to appear.

I thought about writing a lengthy explanation…then finally decided on these two words.

I forgot.

Really?

An excerpt from the article:

At a news conference at an Italian restaurant, Tyson said he would likely go just four rounds and that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women, possibly professional boxer Ann Wolfe.

Wolfe, from Waco, Texas, is 21-1 with 15 knockouts.

“She’s such a prominent, dominant woman in the boxing field,” Tyson said.

When asked if he was joking about fighting women, Tyson said, “I’m very serious.”

How desperate is he?
