House Divided......
Ok Anyone who knows the Carmichaels know that they are diehard Florida Gator's fan. Especially Momma C.She actually got to run with them down on the field. So when SEC Football season starts up we all put on our favorite team colors and keep a close eye on the scoreboard. There are many school rivalry's but the biggest family one is when Auburn and Florida meet up. the house becomes divided. Staci, Drew, and I graduated from Auburn, B cheers for Florida because I don't think his actually has a team. After a rousing team smack talk we (B and I) parked it on the couch with some wings and beer to cheer up our team. (BTW Auburn won last year-the only team to beat the SEC Champs) It started off Good. Auburn brought their D game and kept the Gators in check. We scored first. Minus some smelly penatilties called on both ends it was a great game. So about the end of the third quarter. The tigers were in the lead and I felt confident that we would close it out with a win. I called it a night and settled down under the covers with book. Only to be interrupted but screams, stomps and grunts from the other room. I couldn't concentrate on my book so I huffed back in the living room. Wow 4th quarter 17 to 17. 14 seconds left on the clock. We let it run down. 4 seconds left and our kicker, a Freshy, was up to make it 40 yrds or something.He made it-we won. Oh wait the Gators, called a time out. It didn't count. I looked at Brandon. He was on the edge of the couch ringing his hands. Surely we couldn't do it again. Oh but we did. Auburn 20-Florida 17. And I have bragging rights for the next year. War Eagle!

My wonderful husband......
We are coming up on 2 months of marriage and I am so loving it or really I should WE are loving it! Brandon starts his new job this Monday. I am so excited for him. I believe that
God has some great things planned for him in this new role. He is such a warm, caring man. Everyday I find something about him that I am in awe about. Oh don't get me wrong, he has his faults too (I broke him of the wet towels on the bed and toliet seat being up) but they really pale in comparison.

Losing my marbles....
Ok only 15 more days until the kaos is over and I can relax. Well for a few days at least. Everything is going fine with the wedding, but you know good ole Murphy. He'll show up. But I'm ready for him so bring it! I just need to keep my wits about me and focused-which I failed to do yesterday morning. Here is the story so get ready to laugh. I usually put my trash bags on top of my car hood to drive it down to the trash can when I head out to work in the morning (cause I'm lazy like that). However I was so distracted by everything that I needed to get done that day that I forgot about stopping to throw them away and pulled out of my apartment complex. Here I am driving down the road with two large white trash bags on the roof of my car. Oblivious. As I start gaining speed the next thing I hear is a whomp. And one goes flying off the back. I of course swerve, scarred by the sound, realized what it was, and pull into a near by parking lot. I got out and saw that the other one was still on top of the car and looked back on the road to see where the bag landed. Right in the middle of a busy intersection. And here comes a car headed straight for it. I turned my head, I couldn't look. I heard a whack, then another whack as the car behind that one totally ripped open the bag and the trash went everywhere. For some unknown reason I became really really embarrassed at that moment-I guess that it was because that was MY trash being spread out all over the road. Anywho, long story short I found a nearby dumpster to plop the other bag in and hastily exited the area. I called up Brandon to find some consolation for the litter that everyone was now driving over because of me and all he did was laugh and say "I love you." But really that was all I needed to hear.
My Mom...the next computer genious (in my family)
For those out there that have a parent or relative who is older and owns a computer you probably will beter understand the excitement that I'm about to share. My mom figured out on her own how to line up a 6 x 8 piece of paper in the printer and set the text to print on it...all on her own! No help from me whatsoever. Yeah I know. That is awesome!!! That was just her latest computer conquest. About a month ago she scanned a picture, attached that scanned picture to an email and sent it to me. All of this from someone who thought you couldn't have multiple applications/screens open at once. I think she might be ready to start her own blog...

An evening with Damien Rice.........
What a wonderful night I had Monday. Brandon and I spent the evening at the magestic theater langerously listening to the smoky sounds of Damien Rice. What is so great about him is that he sounds just like his CD-which is rare today in the music age. Some of my fav songs he sings are Cannonball, Eskimo, Blower's Daughter, and his new one Dogs. Check out his site! http://www.damienrice.com/home.html

Countdown till the big day.....
Wow I can't believe that in 57 days I will be Mrs. Brandon Carmichael.There is so much left to do! Brandon reassures me that I am way ahead of schedule and I think my caterer is getting annoyed with my pushiness to start discussing menu options but I can't stop the pace I have now! Good ole project management skills are really paying off. We have an awesome task list which I have outlined the baseline start dates of a task and the actual start dates and current status. And to draw attention to those tasks that might have slipped behind schedule have outlined them in red with big bold words OVERDUE (so someone, um hum, Brandon can take notice of them.) But he really is being such a big help-I would be in a whole lot worse state of obsessive compulsive task management if he hadn't stepped in and taken some of the burden off of me.
God found us an awesome house to rent as well and I move in the first of June. What is really funny about the house is the bathroom. Its a sunken tub-not level with the ground. I only caught a glimpse of it as we were passing through the house and now my mind is playing tricks on me with visions of it being so deep in the ground that I will have to have a ladder to climb out of it. But wait that's not all-it also has two shower heads which Brandon is excited about because will actually get to know what it feels like to be totally submersed by a shower (he's 6'6 and always have to stoop to get his hair wet under normal showers). But wait that's not all either-it has angled mirrors above the tub ?!? Yeah I know. I guess someone before us wanted to see how clean they were from all angles. Another lemon that we are making into lemonade that it has no closets so we are going to turn the smallest bedroom into a walk in closet! How great is that! I going to have a whole room where I can store my shoes, purse, clothes. I feel almost like the movie stars on Cribs.

20 WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY
A friend sent this to me and I just had to share it with the rest of the world!
1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don’t disguise your voice.
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries withthat.
4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it “IN”.
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten overtheir caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. In the memo field of all your checks, write “for smuggling diamonds”.
7. Finish all your sentences with “in accordance with the prophecy”.
8. Don’t use any punctuation.
9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
10. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat - with a serious face.
11. Specify that your drive-through order is, “to go!”
12. Sing along at the opera.
13. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds allday at work.
14. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.
15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their partybecause you’re not in the mood.
16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.
17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream “I won! I won!”
18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling,“run for your lives, they’re loose!!”
19. Tell your children over dinner “due to the economy, we are going to haveto let one of you go.”
20. Make someone smile by passing this along.

So the stock market droped yesterday and alot of people lost alot of money but I'm sure it will bounce back. I just took over my IRA this past year and learning all the new termology pertaining to investing is my newest challenge...put, call, long capital, short capital. I took a Graduate level investments class in college but I struggled through it, so Investiments For Dummies might be my main source of knowledge. But I was thinking when I was brushing my teeth this morning (i can multi task) about how much wealth people have tied up in stocks and really all it is is numbers on the computer screens. Electronic Tranactions. If something were to happen like suddenly all computers throughout the world stopped working it would be mania. There would be car wrecks because the stop lights wouldn't work, in a hospital Doctors wouldn't be able to get back lab results, and what about the airlines....It is really scary to see how our lifestyles are so dependent on computers. I for one would not be able to work as I spend 8 hrs a day on a computer.
