Sunday will be Mary Margaret's 16th Birthday. Taylor, Tim, and I have been begging her to tell us what she wants for her birthday. She's been thinking real hard.
Sunday night she finally came up with a gift idea.
She wants a SOLAR POWERED TANNING BED.
So, I'm getting her that.
Posted on Facebook:
I'm ROTFLOL at mary margaret. She wants a SOLAR POWERED Tanning Bed. LOL

Nicole's comment on facebook was awesome:
Dearest MM: You have requested the cheapest gift ever! Every time you go lay out by the pool, just think, you are getting another session at the solar tanning bed, for free. Good times!
2nd Cup of Coffee's Response:85% of my Facebook enjoyment comes from your posts.
Love it!
I'm going to make up a bunch of coupons for sessions at the Butler Manor Solar Tanning Bed!
And now, I would like to share a facebook post that Linda @ 2nd Cup of Coffee posted. It cracked me up.
Linda:Not a big fan of the Duggers, but I just saw the Mrs. sky dive with her 18 yr old daughter. It's not enough for her to out-birth the rest of us, but then she has to be the cool mom who sky dives, too??? Prob had a nursing baby strapped to her on the way down.
And lastly, new terminology being used at work:
Remorse replaces Remission.
I hear this today..."Hey, did you know that her cancer is now in remorse? That is wonderful!"
Keeping it real!

Cross County Historical Society Gala
Last night, our local historical society held a fund raising gala. I had planned on taking Taylor but as her luck would have it, she wound up into some serious trouble and grounded. So I took my husband. Yes. Shocking. He went. Dress clothes and all. I wish I had thought to take his picture, as he was not hiding the look of extreme boredom very well. He was the only guy at the table of 5 ladies. He did score an awesome stake dinner and a fashion show. He was REALLY excited about the fashion show.
The girls that modeled were the JPC (Junior Progressive Club) girls. Mary Margaret was one of the models.
They modeled clothes starting in ancient Egypt all the way to 2011. They were fantastic.
Most of the girls modeled 4 outfits. Mary Margaret did the 1890's, 1920's, and the 1940's and then choice of her favorite.
My favorite part? Picking up my husband all dressed up for a date.
It's how we roll here at Butler Manor!

Feeling Old
In 19 days I will have a 16 year old.
It makes me feel old, which leads to the snowball effect...
worry about their safety
their choices in life
driving
wrecks
moving away to college (or not)
moving away and leaving me all alone and lonely
leaving me old and lonely
leaving me old and lonely
boo hoo.

Survivor?
Would my family make through the show Survivor?
Nope.
They would not even make it through the line to audition for Survivor.
Why?
Because I'm not going to live in some Jungle that's not even on the map and they NEED ME to SURVIVE.
They look for their shoes on the ceiling.
They spin around looking for a brush that's in their hand.
(I have looked for keys that were in my hand, which doesn't count because I say so)
What I'm saying is this, THEY NEED GUIDANCE...LOTS
Conversations with Taylor:
(we are on our way to Jonesboro and MM is driving)
Taylor: OMG do you see what she's doing Kaye Kaye?
Me: I'm watching her, she's doing fine.
Taylor: NO!!!! She's not doing good! I drove the other day and I drove 55 like the speed limit says. She's driving -60. That's bad.
Me: That's not a -60. The - is just a mark on the speedometer.
Taylor: Oh. My bad.
Mary Margaret: Well, anyways, Taylor if I really was driving -60, we would be going in reverse.
Yes, you can laugh and cry with me. Laugh cause it was funny and cry because the State of Arkansas gave Mary Margaret a driver's license and the State of Arkansas will give one to Taylor next. Double trouble.
