Alexis Needs

This is a fun activity that I found on a few of the blogs I read: Allie and Steph over at the Adventures of Jon & Steph. The object is to type your name then needs (Alexis needs) into google and write down the first ten responses that make sense. So here it goes:

1. Alexis needs an Angel (I would conquer to this, we all need Angels every now and then)
2. Alexis needs our Help - Who doesn't need help every now and then
3. Alexis needs your vote - I don't know what you're voting on, but hey if it means I win, I'm all for it :)
4. Alexis needs more guy friends - I have the best friends in the whole world, but hey let's admit it's always nice to meet some new people. (I wonder how Lamar would feel about this one, he doesn't read my blog, so I doubt he'll ever know that I need more guy friends :)
5. Alexis needs pimpin - I don't think this needs an explanation
6. Alexis needs a new memory card - I can only think this might be because I just took mine out of my digital picture frame to upload some new photos and haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
7.Alexis needs a job where I can work from home - THis would be fabulous!! although I would probably not get anything done work wise.
8. Alexis needs to flirt with Jax or Lucky - Who are Jax and Lucky???
9. Alexis needs glasses, and new hair - I would agree it is about time for some new glasses. I would also agree it is time to do something with this hair. I am trying to grow it out so I'm holding off on cutting it.
10. Alexis needs some well wishes - I don't have anything seriously wrong with me, but I am going to the doctor soon to find out why my foot has been hurting.

So I'm all done and that was a lot of fun. To be fun, I might ask Lamar to do the same thing, or better yet, I might just do it for him. He's not really into this blogging thing. :)

Til next time...Have a good day.

Lamar needs...

As I stated before, I thought it might be fun to do this for Lamar. He probably won't comment, but hey that's ok, it was still fun.


So here it goes:
  1. Lamar needs new administration - Hey now, are you trying to tell me I'm not good enough ;)
  2. Lamar needs to step up NOW - What are you stepping up to???
  3. Lamar needst o just freak out on everybody - This is talking about Lamar Odom, I don't know what it means or who this guy is. But hey if they want Lamar to freak out, let him.
  4. Lamar needs shooting eyes restored - Don't really know what to say about this one.
  5. Lamar needs a strong, supportive, and nurturing family - He doesn't need this, he already has this. His family are some of the most supportive and nurturing people I know.
  6. Lamar needs a great deal of direction - If they are talking about cleaning, then yes I completely agree with this statement.
  7. Lamar needs to get comfortable with the system - What system, married life???
  8. Lamar needs football - One of the things I love about Lamar is that he doesn't have to watch football, he honestly never really watches football. I love being able to go out during football season on Saturdays and Sundays and not worry about "missing the game"
  9. Lamar needs to earn his extension - Please work on this so we can get out of our dumpy house. I mean I married him for his money ;)
  10. Lamar needs the ball to be effective - I'll just leave it at that.

I have to admit, I cheated a little on his, because most of these were not the "topic" line of my google search, they were in the description. Give me a break though, because Lamar is not a very common name. Although there were some funny titles, but they didn't go with the "needs" part of this post. Let me just a name some of the few that I thought would have been funny:

  1. What's up with Lamar??

  2. Lamar is wrong

  3. Lamar's Donuts

Hope you all have a great day!! I know I will, tomorrow is Saturday and I'm going shopping with the little sister. Can't have more fun than that.

"MmmmmKay"

We all have pet peeves. I know I probably have more than most people. But I can't help it, certain things just bother me.



I took an Intermediate Word 2007 class for work the other day and the name of this post stemmed from the class. You should be able to pick up on it under #2 below. There are a couple of things that are bothering me about this class. Let me just tell you about them, so you can all join in my misery:


  1. Now keep in mind this is an Intermediate class, but yet there are people in here that have never opened Word. This just does not make much sense at all.

  2. The instructor, although fairly decent, loves to say "Mmmmkay." And I don't know about anyone else, but it is about to drive me INSANE.

Since I'm on the topic, I'll name a few of my pet peeves. I would love to hear from all of you about what your pet peeves are.



  1. People smacking their gum instead of chewing

  2. I have a weird pet peeve about people saying words over and over, such as "mmmkay", "um" or other words that are used excessively.

  3. The Paul Harvey Show (He has past away now, so hopefully I won't have to listen to him much more)

  4. People stealing food out of the refrigerator at work that is not theirs. Come on people, don't you know I could put poisoning or something horrible in there.

  5. People who take up my precious time. i.e. 1)Taking an Intermediate class, when you should be in Basic, 2) Cashiers at the grocery store who take forever to scan your items because they are too busy talking to their co-workers and making a complete fool out of themselves.

  6. People who use the self-checkout lanes, but don't know how to use them.

  7. Cashiers chewing gum while they are working

Well those are just a few. I'm sure I could go on and on, but for now I will stop. As I said earlier please feel free to share some of your pet peeves with all of us.

Once Upon a Time...

...There was a young working wife who had a blog. For some reason, she was never able to post on a daily basis or keep things in the right time order. She would always post pictures of things that happened months before....Yes I'm talking about me, I'm sure you guessed that though.

Since I am so far behind, I will start with the big snow storm of 2009.


So without further ado, I present "Memphis Snow 2009"


Brek decided he would help me make a snow angel

Brek and I at Shelby Farms


My pretty seafoam green house in the snow


Kim and Stacy (Lamar's parents) the night it started snowing

My little family (Me, Brek, and Lamar) the night it started snowing

Brek and Lamar

Well that's all for now. I will back later this week to give you some updates on what Kaytlyn, Lamar, and I have been up to.

Hope you are all having a great day!

Guess What....

...My sister is coming into town today!! I am super excited and cannot wait to spend the week with her. I will try to be a good little girl and take some pictures of our week together. We have a few things on the agenda, but nothing major yet. Hopefully we will get in some good shopping though. There is absolutely nothing better than shopping with one of my favorite people in the world!

Hope you all had a great weekend, I know Lamar and I had a good time in Hattiesburg visiting his family. Of course I didn't take pictures, because that's just how I roll :) I know I always prefer to read blogs that post pictures, but I never seem to take any pictures so I can post them. The ones that I did take (about a month ago when it snowed) are on my home computer and I never seem to blog from home. Maybe one of these days I will get some. In the meantime, hope you don't mind me just babbling on about nothing.

Well I'm off to go get groceries so we have something to eat this week.

Go TIGERS!!!!!

It's Been awhile

Well I think we can all agree that I am not quite the best blogger in the world :) It's not that I don't want to blog, it's that I don't think I have anything blog worthy to write about. So this post really has no point, but I just didn't want to be at the bottom of the list anymore for not blogging.

I do have some great news, my little sister is coming to visit in two weeks and then my older sister and her two children will be here two weeks after that. It just seems so funny that I go months without seeing any of my family and then within a couple of weeks I'll see some of my favorite people on this planet.

Lamar and I are planning a camping trip with some of great friends Rachel and Scott while Kayt is in town. Lamar and I got into camping when we first started dating and fell in love with it. We have recently grown out of it a little, but it is still fun. I'm very excited to finally have a dog to camping with. I'm not sure what all the other people in the campground will think, but oh well, we've all dealt with "those" campers before :)

Sorry for such a random post of nothing, but like I said I had to get off the bottom of the list.

Have a great weekend! Ours will be pretty busy, I'll have to take some pictures so I actually have something to post about next week.
