Update on the Waffle House Special...

There's a little update on the Valentine's Dinner at Waffle House... and I know you all are dying to know what it is after all the funny responses I got from my post on Facebook and on my blog.

Emmy Sorrells just wrote me a comment saying there's even more to the magical date-night at Waffle House...

VIOLINS!!!

Yep, you heard it here.... violins at Waffle House. And that's, of course, in addition to the candles that I guess they're throwing in to "set the mood."

I don't know about you but I think it's gonna take ALOT more than candles and violins to make me feel romantic and sexy at Waffle House!!! You gotta love the effort they are putting into this though. Man, times really are tough right now.... even Awful House has to go ALL OUT to get business.

Hey Big Spender.... This One's for You!

This is true... I'm not making this up.

You KNOW you're in the South when someone actually advertises to get "Scattered, Smothered & Covered" on Valentine's Day.

This morning I took Jacob and the boys to preschool. The table where I sign them in is always full of flyers.... things we might want to take a look at, clothing party invitations, seminars, etc. So today as I'm initialing the sign-in sheet, I look over and see a little something that catches my eye... not really sure why.... maybe it was the big Waffle House logo.... maybe it was the hearts. Maybe it was the big laugh that was surely to follow after I read the whole thing.

Take a look and see if you get a big laugh, too.



Lovely.

Valentine's Dinner at Waffle House. With candlelight.

They're so confident this is a good idea they even go so far to say "Surprise Your Sweetheart." Yeah... that'd be a surprise alright.

And I guess they think there's going to be such a great response that you'll even need to make reservations. Wow.... reservations.

Jonathan... if you are reading this (which I KNOW you're not because you never read my blog!).... DON'T GET ANY FANCY IDEAS!!! Just laugh and move on, babe.

Upward Basketball

Macy was so excited this year about playing Upward basketball... and even more excited about that basketball uniform! Macy's always loved to shoot hoops at home, but she had never played the game before, so there was a bit of a learning curve at first. She has a pretty good natural ability for most sports, but we aren't a very competitive family. Sports have never really been our thing, I guess you'd say. And at the first game, I was a little surprised at how little she knew about the rules of the game.... definitely our fault!!

But I was even more surprised the next week, and then the next, at how much she improved! Last week she was running up and down that court like she'd been doing this for years. She even scored 10 baskets! Go Macy!

I love watching her learn, and love even more the confidence she has in her ability now. I wish the season were longer.... she's going to be so sad when it's over. But until then, we'll keep cheering you on, little girl. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!

Keep up the good work, Macy!
