The Sausage Biscuit

The Sausage Biscuit or the Biscuit Sausage?!? Either way, it freakin' rocks my face off. Now...before you go "WTF?!" and think that it's something perverted, just chill, get your mind out of the gutter, and listen to the radio every now and then. You'll hear what I'm alluding to. And it's freakin' great. Right up my alley when it comes to humor. Let me know when you know what I'm talking about. RL already knows what's up!! (But please don't post any specifics under comments, because I want everyone to hear it first for themselves on the radio. But now I'm hyping it up, so it probably won't be near as funny as I'd like it to be for you. So yeah.)

ANYWAY...
American Idol is in full gear!! Audience now gets to vote. The girls put on a really good show tonight for it to be the first night. I cannot WAIT for the guys tomorrow night, though!! I'm pulling for Will, Taylor, Ace, Chris, and Elliot. Those are, by far, my fave 5 guys right now. By the by...Chris Daughtry reminds me of Stevo and Elliot reminds me of Justin Harris. So if any of you know those Kool Krazy Kats, take a gander at the similarities, k?!

So far, though, I really like the cast as a whole. Since those really annoying felon twins (who, by the way, were arrested on charges in Rockdale County, Georgia--definitely my homecounty) were disqualified, all is well on the Idol front. There's ONE girl who I'm not too sure of, though...Brenna Gethers. Her singing is alright, I guess, but I'm just not too keen on her personality. I did like her a lot more tonight than I did after her Hollywood performance, but still. Her attitude is just a little too reminiscent of one of my fifth graders whose attitude is BAD, and it drives me crazy that Simon is encouraging it and that (I'm sure) many Americans are embracing it. I just don't think that it's such a good example to set. I don't know...I'd probably think she was pretty cool and cute and spunky if I weren't a teacher with a conscience who doesn't want to see our society's children get ruined by bad influences on TV. But whatever. At least she's better than that fat idiot wife-beating Scott who was a complete sketchball black-boy wanna-be who should never have made it into the Top 11. Yeah. I didn't like him. FOREVER CONSTANTINE!!

/steps off soapbox. (Hi, T!)

In other news...flowers and cake are picked out! Planning a wedding is a never-ending process. I will be so glad when June 3 is over with and I'm relaxin' w/ my new hubby somewhere on our honeymoon! Speaking of which (ahem, SHAY), we still don't know exactly where we're going yet. But I hope it's secluded, fun, and relaxing. :-D

Nana got me some fried okra for supper tonight. It was so delicious! Mos' def' one of my absolute favorite foods ever in the history of the world. Of course, I like a lot of foods, so that's not saying much. But it would be in my top 5. *Attn: Terence Polk. Future Top 5 for Cinco from Guest Contributor, Libby*

Oh, AND, while at BiLo tonight w/ Bailes, I decided...hey. I'm going to buy some gum or some mints or something. Well...Wrigley's has these new Doublemint mints out. You can get either Spearmint or Peppermint, but I chose Spearmint. (Peppermint flavored things are too candy-like and sweet, and I feel they don't freshen as well as other mint flavors.) They are SO delish!! They're not too strong, but not too weak, either. The mint doesn't burn your tongue at all. Definitely a must-try.

And lastly...I've been asking Shay for a month now when I can make my bracket. I think he's finally getting to the point where he'll just start ingoring me. He knows I know I have to wait until March, but I'm just so excited, I can't WAIT! And I have Hank Burns and Erin Hines to thank for that! Because of their love of March Madness, they have gotten me hooked on making my picks for the tournament each year. This will be the fourth year I'm going to pick Gonzaga as going all the way. (And yes, it's only because they have the coolest name.) BUT, according to the sports people, this year, it may actually happen!! We'll just have to see!!

Well, that's all for this evening. The clock is striking 11:00 PM, which means that all the good little teachers must be in bed, or they'll turn into pumpkins. Which means I'm actually already a whole damn pumpkin patch, but that's besides the point. I'll remain human tonight!!

Sweet Dreams, Homeslices!!

Retakes




This is the first year ever that I've ever had a picture retaken. This "new" picture is better because it looks more 23-year-old (as opposed to 40-year-old), and my hair doesn't have one big piece totally out of line with the rest of my hair. HOWEVER, I'm not a student, I am a teacher, and the first one (that can be found somewhere in my archives, but it's too late and too past my bedtime to figure out how to link to an old post) looks more professional. I have on a blazer, I'm wearing make-up, and my hair is smoother. However, all-in-all, I'm glad I have both. Because now I have one set of "professional" shots that I could use for anything I might need professional shots for. But I also have more "me" shots that I can give out to all of my friends....

Yeah. You're right, and I agree.

I don't think I'll ever grow up, either.

You Are Miss Piggy

A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!


Your Pimp Name Is...

Daisy Trickz





Your Hillbilly Name Is...



Molly Sue Tractor




Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.

You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't?

You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky.

In fights, you speak your mind and don't hold back. You know you're right, and you can get quite angry about it.

Getting over a break-up doesn't take long. Easy come, easy go.


You Are a Little Scary

You've got a nice edge to you. Use it.


Your Inner Blood Type is Type A

You seem cool and collected, though a bit shy.
You are highly driven and a perfectionist, but that's a side you keep to yourself.
Creative and artistic, you are a very unique person who doesn't quite fit in.
People accept you more than you realize, seeing you as trustworthy and loyal.

You are most compatible with: A and AB

Famous Type A's: Britney Spears and Hilter

Yeah, I Know. Sorry.

A Note to my Readers:

I'm sorry I've not updated in a while. Whenever I've been "blogging," I've mostly spent my time just reading other blogs. And looking at photo albums on Facebook. Most of my additions to the blogworld have come in the form of comments or guest posts (see Cinco De Piddy--link to the right). But just a few updates:

1) The Wax Museum at school today was a HIT!! I even got an "I'm proud of you" note from my principal!! Always a confidence booster!!

2) Ordered my dress and my bridesmaid dresses over this past weekend!! SO gorgeous...I can't wait until they come in! Next on the agenda: confirming a photographer, deciding what food to serve at the reception, ordering invitations and announcements, and picking out the guys' clothes. Oh yeah, and finishing registering.

3) LOST was a re-run tonight. Way to suck, ABC.

4) There's a precious 16-year-old who made it to Hollywood on Idol tonight. He looks like Fred Savage! :-D

5) I've got a new TV love...Project Runway. Taped at Parsons School of Design (where my cousin Austin goes to school!!) Am totally in love with Daniel's designs. He's definitely my favorite. I liked Chloe's alot tonight, too, though. But Daniel is the best. I predict that he wins it all.

6) Weston is so precious. He'll be the coolest brother-in-law ever. Actually, he'll be my only brother-in-law. Unless my brother turns out to be gay. Which would be cool with me, but I don't think that's the case.

7) Been going to step aerobics at the Y. She kicked my ass last night. But it feels good. And I love going to the Y, anyway, because I know, like, half of the people there. I love knowing people and people knowing me. Small towns are where it's at. Except that you have to make plans ahead of time to run to Target or Wal-mart or something. And being a teacher and granddaughter of Joan McNeill, you can't exactly frequent certain establishments in town. (All 2 of them.) But despite that, you can't beat the sense of community and the gorgeous old houses. And the commute. The commute is great.

8) VERY busy week next week: Tuesday--Special Ed. staffing after school and Lions Club Meeting that night; Wednesday--BON JOVI CONCERT IN G'VEGAS; Thursday--Get-together with my teacher girls from last year at the MD; Friday--Firewall with Lisa and possibly Last Man Standing in Clemson; Saturday--10 bucks Shay and I will be doing wedding stuff.

9) I'm afraid I'm getting sick. :( Don't feel bad, but I'm not so sure my throat's not starting to hurt. And Bailey had Strep last week. All I know is...if this gets worse, and I start running a fever...I'm leaving school early and getting the daggum shot. Hopefully, my mind's just playing tricks on me since I know Bailey had it.

10) Meredith, Mike, Shay, and I are going to see HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH on Sat., April 28!! I'm just all about some concerts this year, huh?! BTW--pKyle, I don't know if you've heard, but they cancelled Music Midtown this year. The commissioner or whoever said that Atlanta was not a good venue for the event. They're looking to move it, in which case they'll have to rename it.

K, I hope that satisfies your appetite for the rambling that is Libby for now.
Peace out, homeslices.

PS- 11) Shay and Lisa are too obsessed with Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Number 1 in the 'hood, G!
