I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic lately. I don’t know if it’s the weather or my mood or something unknown, but I’ve really been spending a lot of time with my memories.

This morning, I snuggled up to my youngest son on the couch with my cuppa to watch saturday morning cartoons. My oldest son ran into the room, “Mom! Have you ever seen Escape to Witch Mountain? It’s on Hallmark right now.”

Speaking of nostalgia…

So, we flip channels and sit and watch one of my favorite childhood flicks.

Of course, it’s really, really bad now.

But I still love it.

And guess what?

Return to Witch Mountain is on now. 🙂

From One Life To Live…may I introduce to you, Mr. Forbes March (real name).

Yummy.

The hubby is in Orlando. He flew out yesterday morning and will be there until Wednesday. It’s weird not having him around for the weekend. Of course, he’s one of a handful of people who flew into the state purposefully–even with the full knowledge a hurricane is on its way. Sure, it may not be another Katrina, but still–I hate the thought that he’s there while the storm is passing through. It’s always weird when he goes away.

Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy come on tonight! YAY!

7:35 pm

Just shut up already.

He was kickin’ ass in the team challenge, then he had 1 too many beers and before you know it, he’s Molly-Motor-Mouth. He is his own worst enemy. I’ll be surprised if he didn’t shoot himself in the foot tonight.

7:43 pm

Well, the team stood strong, but they need to put a muzzle on Dudd. He will be the rift in that tribe. I wonder what will happen from this point on for them. I hope if they have access to more alcohol in the future they’ll at least be smart enough to keep it away from Molly-Motor-Mouth. Sheesh. He is full of himself.

7:45 pm

Bobby Jon went a little wacko on Jamie today. It’s not like Jamie was rubbing his nose in the win…he was just celebrating. But Bobby Jon claims Jamie stepped over the line and so he had to” put him in his place”. Oh, is that what you did, BJ? Hmmm. Didn’t look like that from my couch.

Wonder if the tribe will vote him out or if they’ll vote out Amy. Personally, I think it’s time for Amy to go…her ankle is the weak link in that group. I hope they don’t turn on Gay Brian. I really like him.

Besides, when the tribe merges, Rafe’s gonna need a friend.

7:49

BJ called Brian a “good ole boy”? Yeah. Good old girlie boy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I love girlie boys. But for country boy BJ to call Brian a good ole boy kinda worried me. “He’d be a good neighbor.”

Hmmmm. A good neighbor but not a good teammate?

We’ll soon see.

OMG.

So, Rafe gets to give someone from Yaxcha immunity… I’m in the floor laughing. This will be beautiful. If he doesn’t pick his girlfriend Brian, I’ll be devestated.

I wonder if BJ has worn out his welcome. I’m wondering if he’s gonna be outta here…

7:53 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I can’t believe it! It was set up to be one of the most beautiful things ever! But it wasn’t meant to be. What the hell was Rafe thinking? He shoulda kept Brian. He never shoulda given Gary immunity. Bobby Jon could’ve been voted out with 1 vote. 1 vote! If Rafe would’ve given Brian immunity, then BJ would’ve waved goodbye and I would’ve laughed my ass off.

Ah well.

Bet Rafe will be kicking himself when the tribes merge.

Wow. It’s already Wednesday. Where has the time gone?

First off, I have to share a story about laughter. From Merriam-Webster Online

Main Entry: laugh·ter
Pronunciation: 'laf-t&r, 'l[a']f-
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hleahtor; akin to Old English hliehhan
1 : a sound of or as if of laughing
2 archaic : a cause of merriment

Notice the pronunciation? Yes. that’s right. It’s pronounced laFter. Well duh. We all know that. Right?

You would think so.

My husband and I went to a cookout on Sunday in a little town about an hour from our house. (Hernando, MS) The directions we had weren’t very clear so we stopped at a little gas station to ask for clarification. We were looking for “Lauder”. Wrong. We were looking for “Laughter” street, except the locals pronounce it “Lauder”.

Huh?

You heard me. Laughter is not pronounced laFter. It’s pronounced lAUDer. Well, at least in this community.

This is not the first time that the locals have bastardized the pronounciation of a word for their purposes. (it weeds out the outtatowners.)

For example:

I live in Lafeyette county. Pronounced here: Lu FAY’ ette NOT lä-fE-'et as it is in the rest of the world.

We have a Marquis Cheveron. Pronounced Markus not mar ‘kee

We have a China Royal. Achem. Pronounced, China RoyAL.

Need I go on?

Mmmm. James Denton.
