Happy Belated Birthday Cindy

By -
Friday was my sisters 46th birthday. Well, would have been, but we lost her in 2006.

So, I thought I'd share the story of how her oldest got her name. Her name is Amanda Elizabeth - but Cindy wanted to name her Mandy Beth. Why? Maybe some of you have an inkling already - but just in case you don't - songs.

Cindy's favorite song was Mandy by Barry Manilow and the guy who donated the sperm, well his favorite song was Beth by Kiss.

In case there are any youngsters out there who don't know these songs, I'm including them. I just wanted you to be aware that my whole family picks names in random weird ways - not just me with the names in a hat!



I miss you Cindy.


Until next time ~ Kris

I love your comments and I read them all. I'm not very good at replying to them though. It's one of my many downfalls. I hope you'll leave some anyway!

I so look forward to Tuesday's now!  Which is weird, because other than this I got nothing on Tuesday - so thanks Jessica for making my life not so lame!  So, what crap is on my phone this week?  hmmmm My little elfish niece  and her older brother So these next two are going to need a back story.  My phone is lame - but I was bored and figured out I could do kind of cool stuff in picture mode.  Here are two shining examples of how non creative I am! Why is my son 'talking' about hubster? IDK 'kay? I'm pretty sure I could  figure out some more creative way to use this....maybe Yes, it is my shoe.  And it's cool that I  can add a polaroid frame to pictures but lame that I have to try and write with just my finger.  And yes, those are pink crocs .  Don't judge! Sometimes I make random, obvious observations  and they go something like this "Note to self - glue from a hot glue gun is hot" This is why I make those statements Our Cu

And now, without further ado - my offerings for the week... The first guy probably looks familiar - I have been helping decorate the 4th grade hall for Winter Wonderland the tree and birds are new - great little artists and crafty teachers I'm just the manual labor Sunday, we were in the Christmas Parade here in town. Before the parade started were trying to stay warm in the car goofing off ensued ~ yes, we do bunny ears a lot in this family And finally, because I DO have lame pictures this week see, I told you it was o.k.
