FOR FREEEEE?!

News flash! Check it out.... Friday, 6/4/10, is "National Doughnut Day"! If there ever was a day to celebrate... this is it (of course I choose any reason to celebrate, that is what life should be about... celebration)! Tomorrow only, if you happen to drive by any of these places, stop in and get your freebie! (Wonders if I can drive through Krispy Kreme over and over again as long as I wear a disguise.)

• Krispy Kreme: All customers receive a free doughnut. No purchase necessary.
  
• Dunkin' Donuts: Free doughnut with the purchase of a beverage.
  
• LaMar's: All customers receive a free Ray's Original Glazed doughnut. No purchase necessary.
  
• Shipley Do-Nuts: Free glazed doughnut with purchase until noon.

Okay, yeah so I mentioned my fat a$$ in my previous post... doughnuts are okay as long as you do not eat the doughnut holes. The little round bits left over from punching the hole in the actual doughnut just so happens to be where all the calories/fat is stored. So therefore, if you only eat the actual doughnut, it will be okay...the calories/fat have been cut out. Right? Okay then.

Maybe its the fact that I quit smoking a couple weeks ago (Yaaay me!), but I am all about food right now. (*Snarls*...now give me my damn doughnut and leave me alone, I am still gripe-y/moody. *bats eyelashes sweetly*.)

Are you ready for me?

Okay blog-world… are you ready for me…or wait, am I ready for myself? It is one thing to live life everyday moment by moment, and another thing to actually write some of this stuff down to look back at later.

Let me just ramble here for a minute… might as well introduce myself.

“Hi, I’m Hope…nice to meet you.”

I am a lot of different things….too much to describe really. I think I am a pretty neat person, but that’s just my opinion. Some info is in my profile, so I wont waste your time repeating it. There is actually a lot I could say. I can’t fit everything in on these tiny little text boxes… I’m a pretty deep person man. ;-) Really the things I am most proud of though are my marriage, (married to a wonderful man of 20 years and counting… seriously, he is awesome and probably deserves his own post here, hmmm, maybe Ill have to do that), and my children, The Littles. These are the most beautiful children you have ever laid your eyes on… I mean it… BEAUTIFUL (Yeah, I am their mother… that has nothing to do with me saying that.)

Let me introduce you to my family…

My picture… (Yeah, I drew that… I am not posting my pic after looking at my fat a$$ this morning in my new “drawers” the hubby bought for my birthday. I swear that had to be someone else’s booty in the mirror.)

The hubby… seeeexay... woohoo! Smart man too, he married me. ;-)~

"Daddy" is his name.

"Big Little", Cassie, our oldest. Almost 19 years old, in college, smart and gorgeous! And no, guys, she is not available.

       

"Middle Little", Abbie, the middle kid (obviously). Just turned two years old, super smart for her age (I'm not kidding, scary smart...we are in trouble), and absolutely beautiful. You might ask, why such a huge gap in ages here (17 years between the oldest and Middle)... long story here. God thought we needed Abbie. She was meant to be here.

"Littlest Little", Josh, 4 months old, a handsome little guy. (Matter of fact, sister Abbie calls him "Handsome".) A giggling, smile-y, cooing butterball of pinchable goodness. And no ladies, he is not available.

That is my familia'. My reason for breathing. My reason for getting up everyday and making it through each day with a smile. Sighhhhh... I love them.

Freedom

Look! I have a blog. Yes, my very own space in the world wide web to share a bit of me. Why do I think I need one of these? I don't know... my friends have one? I can share my photographic skills? I can keep family/friends updated with what's going on in our family? I can show off my kiddos, the "Littles"? I'll look really cool? Maybe all of the above? (Okay, maybe not so much the looking really cool part.) Whatever the reason/s, here I am.

For my very first post, I figured what was better than posting on Memorial Day and using my freedom of speech, my freedom to be me. Although words are not adequate, thank you to those past, present and future for serving and protecting my freedom. I wish all the men and women serving our country many blessings and a safe journey. I am proud, appreciative and enjoy my freedom.

"Home of the free because of the brave." 

Preserving our freedom for generations to come. 

More to come... God bless.
