These were drawn in less than a minute by Joe McKeever at a block party we had at Grace a month or so ago. They’ve been laying around the house since then, so I decided to share them and see what you guys think. So lets take a poll (please feel free to leave comments as well as voting in the poll):

I know this makes the second blog post for today, but believe me, it’s worth it. You see, today was VeggieTales day at Lifeway (where Jake works), and guess who got to dress up as Bob & Larry? Oh, yes… But don’t take my word for it, view the evidence yourself:
Jake as Larry-1
I found him doing a little shopping in the gift section.

Jake as Larry-2
And here he is…my husband, in all of his green glory.

Jake as Larry-3
The doorways at Lifeway are not Larry-friendly.

Transitioning…

Jake as Bob-1
And headed back out again…

Jake as Bob-2
Apparently the doors aren’t very Bob-friendly either.

I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. My husband just makes me so proud. :-)

…is having a good breakfast on Saturday morning. And really, good breakfast just means anything other than cereal, oatmeal, or instant grits (my usual weekday breakfast fare). Sometimes it leads us to the bakery down the street for apple fritters the size of frisbees; sometimes it takes us to McDonald’s or Wendy’s (we don’t have Hardee’s here, people…I know…what is wrong with Louisiana?!); and still other times it means I’m cooking biscuits & gravy, or omelets, or pancakes (actually, Jake cooks the pancakes in this household). But this morning, it meant cinnamon muffins. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at food photography for quite some time now, but I have a hard time resisting the urge to just dig in long enough to grab my camera and take a few pictures. I had that restraint this morning, and the picture you see below resulted. Notice there’s only one picture. That’s all I could handle. You can’t really expect me to stand around forever taking pictures while the muffins are getting cold, can you? No. You can’t. So enjoy the picture, because the rest of the muffins went to work with Jake. I’m fairly certain that even if no one else touches the muffins, Jake won’t bring any back home. He really has a thing for cinnamon & sugar…

Today’s the day! Just go to Jennie’s Mary Kay website (www.marykay.com/jennieb) at any time before midnight tonight (Friday, June 27th), and place your order. Don’t forget to put “Diana Bondurant” in the comment box so I get credit for referring you. Now go start shopping!

For those of you who didn’t get the email, or read the note in Facebook, I’m having a Mary Kay web party. Fun, huh?! Jennie’s been selling Mary Kay for a few months now, and she’s asked me to host a web party. That’s my kind of party…I don’t even have to clean the house! The party is this Friday, June 27th. All you have to go is go to Jennie’s Mary Kay website any time between 6:00 a.m. and midnight (CDT) on Friday, buy something, and make sure you put my name (Diana Bondurant) in the comment box when you place your order (so I get credit for it). It’s that easy! Jennie takes care of the rest. If you live in the Pensacola area, she’ll deliver; if not, she’ll ship it to you. Orders over $40 ship free!

In other news…I think I’m going to have the opportunity to take some pictures of new people (i.e. not Jennie, although she is beautiful and takes great pictures) in the next week or so. Of course, I’ll be posting my favorites here, so stay tuned…

And now for the more–ok, so there’s not really more, it just sounded good to add the “and more” to the title. Soooo…yep. Smell ya later. :-)
