I have entered a new world.
And I’m loving it!
Honor Flight Network
A couple of weeks ago my Grandpa got to go on the Honor Flight from St. Louis to Washington D.C. This is an amazing program that takes veterans to D.C. to see the war memorials. It is an all-inclusive one-day trip for the veterans and open first to WWII veterans and then other veterans based availability.
My grandpa had the time of his life and said the overall experience was one of the most impressive things he’s ever been a part of. That’s a pretty big statement for an 88-year-old. If you know any WWII veterans who have not done this, I definitely think you should have them look into it and sign up. Just hearing my grandpa talk about it brightened my month.
Favorite Song of The Week
Or maybe just favorite song of the day. I can be fickle sometimes.
I’m not really a big The Band Perry fan, but damn if they didn’t hit the nail on the head with this one.

I think this was one of Katie’s favorite song’s in High School. I always knew Katie’s taste in music was suspect, but now we have confirmation.

I wouldn’t say favorite, but I did like it. But I liked most of them on the list soo…
At least I didn’t make a music video of one of them.*

Damn. You couldn’t think of anything to get back at Sis with, so you dragged me into it? Sad face.

Fall TV Schedule, or Why I Won’t Answer The Phone
Wow, 20.5 hours. That’s how many hours I’ll have on my DVR each week this fall. This will equate to about 15 hours of TV each week, and I’m ok with that.

Basically if you want me to do something on Thursday nights you are going to have to have something more tempting the Ian Somerhalder’s smoking good looks and the comedic genius that is Ron Effing Swanson. Fair Enough?
Someone Had To Say It
Dear Dierks Bentley,
Something has been weighing on me since your song “Am I The Only One” came out. I feel like someone needs to tell you and it seems it is left up to me.
Your friend Wild Man Willy just didn’t like to really because Idol isn’t on Friday in the p.m. For all intents and purposes he could have watched it that night, but it would have been on dvr which means he could have still gone out with you. I think you were right. You were the only one who wanted to have fun.
Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
Katie
P.S. Can you let Alan Jackson know that if it’s half past twelve, it’s 5-o-clock nowhere. Thanks.
Sweet Baby Girl
This weekend, I finally got a chance to meet BG & MG’s baby girl. She’s such a darling.
I couldn’t resist doing a little shopping for her before I went. Luckily even though at 5 weeks she already has a closet full of clothes to get her through the 1st year, she did not yet have anything for Halloween.
A Million…
In the “What A Girl Wants” Kelly Preston’s character, Libby, tells her daughter, “I love you a million Swedish Fish”
I thought this was a weird thing to say because I had never had a Swedish Fish. In fact I didn’t even know what it was the first time I saw this movie. Amanda Bynes’ character, Daphne’s, response made much more sense to me, “I love you a million red M&M’s” Red is always the best one of anything, and I now know that this is true for Swedish Fish as well.
I was trying to think what I would say. Here are some thoughts…
- I love you a million pairs of shoes.
- I love you a million grains of sand.
- I love you a million Switzerlands.
- I love you a million Jesse Spencers.
- I love you a million Bottlecaps – this one is tricky because I mean the candy but it could also be insulting if someone thought I meant actual bottle caps.
- I love you a million New York Cities.
- I love you a million romantic comedies.
- I love you a million books.
- But to be fair, I also love you a million TV shows.
Last, but not least, so it’s in terms he’d understand, I’ve taken to telling Rusty, “I love you a million Milk Bones” He seems satisfied with that.
How about you? What would your million be?
