Git-R-Done

Today was Jeff's birthday and we celebrated by going out for some tajadas at the pink garage. On Saturday we will celebrate again with a Mardi Gras/Redneck party. Andrew has a had a Mardi Gras party planned for over a month now and he wants to make some traditional food and some masks for all of us to wear, but Jeff wants a redneck party for his birthday. The two have compromised -- so we'll be having a Mardi Gras themed party from 5-8 and then a redneck party afterwards.

To get everyone pumped up for the event Carrie just sent this hysterical e-mail I have to share:

*Good ole boy: Any Southern male between age 16 and 60 who has an amiable disposition and is fond of boon companions, strong drink, hound dawgs, fishin', huntin', and good lookin' women, but not necessarily in that order. " Bubba's a good ole boy."

Have I mentioned how much I love the people I volunteer with?!?!

And in honor of Jeff's birthday...some Chuck Norris jokes:

• Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo's hiding.
• Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
• Chuck Norris has already been to Mars, that's why there are no signs of life.
• There is no "Ctrl" button on Chuck Norris' computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.
• Chuck Norris runs until the treadmill gets tired.

***Mom I was reminiscing on the bus this morning about our old Saturday night line up:

- Early Addition

- Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman

- Walker Texas Ranger (when we could stay awake for it ;) )

Those were the days :)!
