Honey-Do List

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Time has been flying by here at the Farris household and we’re attempting to get some of the “honey do” items checked off the list!  I finally convinced Scott to let us get a new couch.  This was about 1 year in the making.  While the couch isn’t as awesome as our old one (no chase lounge) it does smell nice, the pillows stand up, and it’s not torn up by the dog.  We are also finally replacing the scratched up doors and crown molding around the house.  Next on our agenda is painting.  Don’t worry, we outsource all our work- the hardest part is picking out a color.

 

A few weeks ago I had a mini girls night out – Me, KTP, and Lee went to a charity event call The White Party.  Since KTP’s bachelorette party was previously planned for that night, we decided to call it Katie’s Freedom Party.  It was a success.

Scott’s 28^th birthday was last week!  He celebrated with a family birthday dinner and a golf outing to FarmLinks with 5 of his buddies. His big gift this year from the family was a new Apple computer.  This is our first Apple product (not including ipods).  It’s a bit of a learning curve but I still believe Apples are overpriced and overly confident.  Besides those two little facts, the computer is great.

 

Also, a big shout out to my best friend, Taylor- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  She is spending her birthday working up in DC.  I kinda feel sorry for her-mainly bc it sucks celebrating a birthday away from home, but then I remember that last week she was chillin’ at St. Kitts Island- relaxing, fishing, and enjoying the most beautiful beaches God made—and then I don’t really feel sorry for her anymore.  I’d trade lives with her any day.

 

William is a UFO?

As many of you know, my nephew, William, is the cutest kid in the world (although I'm probably a bit bias).  Sometimes, he can be mistaken for  a thug, Olympic swimmer, Denis the Menace, or Lloyd Christmas...until now....William might be a UFO.  Yes, that's right, William could be related to my childhood hero, E.T Phone Home.  Here is the proof- You decide.

You can't deny the similarity

Either way, William and his father, John, both have "unique" hair (and facial expressions)

Thug for Life

As many of you know, looks are deceiving.  This is especially true with me.  While outwardly I look like an average Jane (no pun intended), deep down, I’m gangster.  Yup, true story.  When I was a kid, I dreamed of getting cornrows in my hair with hot pink big barrettes, I know all the lyrics of Gangsters Paradise, and I hail from the projects of East Tennessee.

With that said, I know my fair share of rap music.  On my way home yesterday, a song came on 95.7 Jamz, and I actually listened to the lyrics….which made me burst out laughing.  I have complied a few of my all time favorite rap lyrics that, when taken out of the song, are pretty interesting. 

·         “How can I maintain, with mad shit on my brain?”  –Ruff Ryders’ Anthem by DMX.  Because mad shit is always on the brain.

·         “Brenda, LaTisha, Linda, Felicia, Dawn, LaShaun, Ines Alicia, Teresa, Monica…ect” What These B** Want by DMX.  The name list when on and on-there comes a point where bragging turns into an STD.

·         “I'm a BET soldier and MTV gangsta, I will be on VH1 when I'm done bein famous” – Lil’ Wayne.  Speaking the truth- his next appearance will be on Celebrity Rehab.

·         "I keep it O.G. watching episodes of O.C." – Brand New by Living Legends.  Even gangsters watch the OC.

·         “I’m a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed…” – Lil’ Wayne.  Why would anyone call themselves this?

·         “Address me as your highness, high as United, 30,000 feet up and you are not invited” – So Appalled by Kanye West.   Noone can explain what comes out of Kanye's mouth.

·         “Feels like a midget is hanging from my neckless” – Stand Up by Ludacris.  Say what?

·         “I’m so cheesy ho my swag got high cholesterol” – All of the Lights by Childish Gambino.  Serious disease-no joking matter.

·         “Green got cheese like a nacho, if you ain’t got no a$$ beotch, wear a poncho” Rack City by Tyga.  This explains the recent tunic trend.

·         “You should make your own toilet tissue, since you the shit” – Duces by Kanye West.  A new way of making toilet tissue.  Hope Kleenex doesn’t catch on…

Ok so that’s my top 10 weird/funny lyrics from a rap song.  The list could go on to about 50, but I decided to spare y’all.  I challenge all 5 of my blog followers to use one of the quotes today during conversation.  Also, Happy Chick Fil A Appreciation Day!  I think there should be an Examiner Appreciation Day, where all the bankers come together and bring us lunch…I’ll keep dreaming.
