Another Spotting

Y'all, Andrew and I spotted another "new to Jackson, old to us" staple.  FIREHOUSE SUBS! 

Okay now for those you that don't know, I love Firehouse.  It is one of the only sub places that I actually like.  My history with Firehouse goes back to the original location in Madarin, which is a suburb of Jacksonville (one of the two postivie things I credit a former boyfriend with...1) introducing me to Firehouse before they left the Jacksonville area and in case you were wondering...2) giving me the sunglasses I still wear to this day...that's it - nothing else).  So when they came to Atlanta just off campus I was thrilled...then the went to Macon...then even closer to our apartment in Macon...and now to Flowood!  Seriously, I can't wait for a Hook and Ladder with Honey Mustard and of course, Firehouse Red Sauce, and a Steak and Cheese!!!

Golf, Football, Fall, Fudge

I played in the Lake Caroline Club Championship over the past two days.  Yes it was fun.  Yes I came in last. No I didn't make a complete fool of myself (except when I sunk in the mud up to mid-calf trying to find my ball in the newly created, mostly empty water hazard). No I didn't find my ball.  Yes it was so bad I attempted to buy a new pair of shoes from the clubhouse immediately.  And finally - the ladies I played with - all play at least 3 times a week...if I didn't work and was able to play 3 times a week, I am pretty sure I would able to take down a few of them.

Now - to the Jacket fans - Heck yea!  I am really excited about the team this year...but I know we haven't really played anyone yet - but still at least our defense has finally learned that you we aren't playing two-hand touch!

Fall - where the heck did our fall-like weather go?  I seriously crave the two to three month period that is crisp and cool...I am done with the humidity this year.

And finally - after my 5 hour round of golf yesterday, I was craving baked fudge.  So, yes, I made some.  Yes, I considered eating Andrew's, but I didn't...had he waited another five minutes, I would have eaten it.

And one more thing -

"Uh, Mom?  Mom?  Would you please let me, you know, Butterbean, Tuck-ard, T-man, Duffy, Tucky, inside?  Mom?  I am begging."

Make fun of the fact we have massive weeds in our currently uncut back yard - and I will send Mr. Pout-Face to live with you.

Uh...Seriously

I am going to post the text of a news story posted on a local station's webpage.  Now, I am not perfect at grammar or comma usage (JMT - remember 11th grade?  yeah thought so), but y'all, I had to reread each sentence in this story about 5 times to finally figure it out.  And for Mrs. Susan - I swear I am not currently laughing thinking back to your run in with a sink-hole in the "grocery getter" ;)

"JACKSON, MS (WLBT) -

A Jackson family had the scare of their life this morning during the morning commute. The street they were riding on gave way, causing them to fall into a giant sinkhole. What's worse, they had to pay out of their own pockets to get unstuck.

Tony Brassfield had was almost reached his kids school and then bam!

"The street just caved in on us," said Brassfield.   "We had some minor injuries to the car, my kids stuff they were shaken up real good."

A giant sinkhole swallowed up the front end of the Brassfield's Ford Mustang.

Brassfield says, "It scared me a little bit made my kids get out of control a little bit, but they're emotional, everything else is ok."

After city street crews arrived Brassfield hit with another blow, they weren't going to pay for the tow truck to get him out of the hole, claiming they didn't know if they were responsible, because utilities under the street could have caused the sinkhole.

"I think the city of Jackson should be responsible for it they tried to get me to pay the tow fee out of my pocket, I'm not going to do it. I think they should pay for the street for the tow fee and damages done to my vehicle not only that, I go to work everyday, I pay my taxes that's what I pay my money for, for them to fix the streets," said Brassfield.

In the end Brassfield had to pay $75.00 dollars out of his own pocket to pay for the wrecker to free up his ride. No word on how long the city inspection of the street would take to determine who was at fault.

If you believe the city of Jackson may be responsible for damage caused to your property, you can call the Risk Management department to file at claim at..."

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

(funny side note: I am horrible with spelling, so when the Travis Tritt song TROUBLE came out, I finally found a way to remember how to spell it, and yes it still works.)

Folks, trouble has landed...I found the exact location of the new Brooks Brothers last night.  I stopped in at Sephora to pick up some eyeliner on the way home from the golf course and low and behold - the most beautiful site -

Now for the serious trouble part...it is right next door to Sephora, which is beside Banana Republic, which is beside Ann Taylor, and Loft is just a few steps from there...let's just say my 4 favorite clothing stores all beside each other - is serious trouble.

 View 2 - Car v Deer

This is from our trip to Charleston in March - this was during our daily walk on the beach.

We wanted to show Tucker's height...this was in July.  We don't allow him to jump but we really wanted to show how tall he really is - and no he isn't fully extended.

Seema's Wedding

We had the great honor of attending the wedding of a med/peds resident.  It wasn't just any wedding...it was a traditional Hindu Wedding.  Let me tell you - if you think we can party - you haven't been to an Indian wedding!

I didn't get any pictures from the ceremony but I did get a few pictures and video from the reception.  Just a few notes...no animals were involved, the food was amazing, they spent tons of money on this wonderful occasion...how do I know...the DJ and MC were flown in from New York...enough said.  If you ever have the chance to attend an Indian wedding you should go!
