In sock hell
Currently obsessed with getting unmatched socks out.
And organizing drawers. Taking bets in how long it will stay once resolved

Font of Knowledge
On Sunday CEM responded to REM with a profound answer to the dialogue in the car on the way to lunch. REM then says, "Camdyn quit being an encyclopedia".
Later that evening we were watching football together. In attempt to determine who was the most knowledgeable child (it was Jess) in the sport I did a 10 + 1 quiz.
Question #10 was: What is a down?
Jess responded a simple answer about 10 yards to get a play
REM responded "a turn"
On another side note: both Jess and CEM got #3 correct: how many players are on the field at one time?

Alice the Great
Last weekend Tarzan, MJM and I spent time with my youngest sister and her family in Oklahoma. I always leave there more emergized, refreshed and reflective.
Reflection:
2 parents, 5 children, 20 grandchildren. 27 unique personalities with common heritage, familiar mannerisms, similar traits and different thought processes.
Environment vs genetics is an age old question. It's one that could serve as a great social experiment in our family.
Alice, the youngest, shares my small bladder, we have our mother's hands, the Rand butt, and could pass as relatives in a line up.
She has a similar strong business acumen and drive to succeed. I trust. She trusts with validation.
She has watched her four siblings and learned from our experiences. I learned the hard way. I am addicted to the deal (thanks dad), I shop online (thanks mom), she underspends (I don't even know who to thank). I cook for an army in 20 minutes or less, she cooks "just enough".
As a 17 year old she influenced my children and as a 32 year old she influences me. Some of the best counsel I get is from the girl (can I still call you that?) who listens and gives an objective (most of the time ;) ) opinion on the situation. She isn't to proud to ask when she needs an ear or advice. Most important, she lives an uncomplicated life always putting her family first.
A proud sister moment this week:
An interview on local TV
Another proud moment, her new venture:
Living life intuitively http://theitoldyousogirl.blogspot.com/?m=1
She makes me smarter. She encourages me to be a better mom, better wife, friend and sister. She has a high moral value and loyalty code. And all 26 of us are damn lucky to share a life with her.

Up words
My husband is so good at making sure he takes a picture I am happy with. Normally I would be so happy at this great pose with my cool nephew.
Problem is, I didn't explain well what I wanted the photo for. I wanted to show my OU spirit (and knew this may be the only potential opportunity to get Jeffrey to pose with me) and wanted to show that if I had a son I would pick one that would play word games with me. Somehow the good pic became more of an advertisement for Blue Burrito.
So here is my OU spirit with my awesome nephew who plays word games. With his aunt who has really big eyes (oh I see those glasses to see you with my dear).
Opportunity for retake: zero.
Halloween 2013
The only time I miss Facebook is Halloween. Thank goodness I get the pics via text. Great costumes this year!!
And loved the Top Gun crowd I was with
