November is Here

November is Here people! Its a tad cold outside this morning in the words of JBO it will warm up by this afternoon! I hope he is right about that!

As most of you know I am having some problems with my IRON level, and this week is turning out to be one of the bad weeks! But let's be honest not many will understand this!

Saturday (this one coming up) the cutest RED HEAD in the world will be turning 1. That's right I said 1. Can you believe it? It seems like Bre just found out she was expecting! I guess time flys when you're having a BALL!
Its going to be one of the best days! I have learned anyday I get to spend with the Abbs is one that is eched in my memory for a lifetime!

I then the following Saturday have a photoshoot with Bryana. This one I am looking forward too. Something tells me its going to be one shoot that will be one for the books!

Well its Thursday here and we are sitting at Granny Boos, and its about 5mins before 7am in the Gump and we are about to head to work. Its going to probably be a LONG day, because I was off yesterday after nearly fainting in moms arms because of my IRON.....

I hope everyone has a ROCK STAR THURSDAY

Music on the Mind

For some reason today I have music on the mind....

Most of you do know that I can pretty much get into any type of music except for elevator music.. Just don't get the point of it.

But I am really loving the Kings of Leon right now at this moment.

"only by the night" ~cd.

Awesome Weekend

The Cell

no i am not going to be talking about a Scary Movie.

I am actually going to be talking about the Actual Cellphone.

For most of your know me & mom dumped Alltel after 5 Refurbished phones and they still didn't work!!! And joined the happy nation of T-mobile.

I ended up purchasing A blackberry, lets just say with work and family sometimes it's easier to just send an email or a txt. (Right Aunt May)?

And up to the most part of it, I was satisfied up until last week, the BB wouldn't keep a charge at all, so I contacted there wonderful Customer Service Department and they were so kind to ship me out another one. Told me it would possibly the battery so they shipped out the battery last friday. Well i got it saturday and by monday it still wasn't keeping a charge. Well with all the visits at the Dr's office for mom, we just had time to contact them Wednesday about the phone. They told her it would be 7-10 business days before another would be shipped out.

Do you know people, I had a new phone sitting at my house last night when i got home!!!!

I was shocked... Because i know before with Alltel it would have been closer to the 10 business day rule.

But with T-Mobile it was a day and a half......

Needless to say (knocking on wood), that this one is working just fine now!!!

Can i get a thank you!!!!

The Passing

I would like for the world to take a few minutes of silence in the passing of a straight mentor to me.

Ms. Faye Whatley

A true Gem.

Between her & Ms. Mary, they had a huge part in my childhood upbringing. Both ladies were Nursery Workers at Prattmont.

My prayers & thoughts go out to Donna and the boys.

Friday is the Day

So it is official Today is Friday..... Can you believe it? I am so excited that today is the day!!!

Can you smell the salt air now???

Thursday

Well it's Thursday here in the south, and must i say, it's not that hot outside either. I love it when it starts getting a little cold outside....





It's been a bit of a hectic week in the Life of Driggs. But i am not complaining at all, for this i promise.





As i told you below I have gotten into doing a little bit of photography, and after some comments from some people, it makes me not want to do it. But then again this is why God placed my mom to be my mom, she tells me, if it makes you happy, then do it, don't do it to please others!!

I hope everyone has had an awesome week so far, I can tell you it has been one for the books in my life.

Gotta run, I have a million & one things to do before 4 o'clock hits.

10/7/2009

Well as some may say it's been a minute well a few months since I have been on here. So i think i will take the time to bring my family & friends up to date.

IT'S OCTOBER!!!!

I am officially 28 as of September 1st. Yeah can you believe it, I can actually hear the knock of 30 now. Though I have been told that 30 is when everything starts making sense in the World. Where you can find the answer to most questions on your own, and when people start respecting you and your opinion in life. Go figure. The one thing that most Human beings want, actually doesn't come around until your 30. Who wrote that book? And when was it published?

I also have learned that my Mom is a Godsend, and I am not sure what i would do without her, and for the record I don't think i am ready to find it out.

As most of you know also I have the most cutest LIL cousin i the world, and it truly is a blessing to be able to watch her grow and to witness the many new/different things she is learning and has already learned.

I have also learned that I love Bugles.... Go figure.... Aunt Judy has a receipe that she puts Peanut Butter in and then dips them in White Chocolate.

Also notice that Happiness in the eye of the Beholder!!!

I also have been having some trouble with my knee/thigh, the same one that I injured while riding the school bus.. Needless to say that was the last day i rode the bus, and the first time i actually seen my mom raise cane.

I also thought i had lost contact with my Uncle Rex, but as of today I found him. You had me scared there UR.

I also found out that I am very lucky to have friends in my life. Special shout out to Margaretteville, Angie, Fly-mi, and Yetta oh and my Nik.

I also for the past few months have really gotten into doing some Photography work, if you get a chance to check out some of my work here is the website for it.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the wednesday...

**FYI,,,, WELCOME BACK UR"

SOMETHING new

TODAY IS FRIDAY!!!!

Thank God.....

I still have the headache that I have had for the past few days. What can I say, I don't think i have learned how to deal with STRESS that well.

I am excited for the weekend, because it's going to be an easy one all the way down!!

I am ready for this day to be over with though! I have done enough file cleaning to last me a week today.

I am thinking i want to do my nails... Maybe a funky color!!! You know me, live a little wild these days!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

DON'T DO ANYTHING I WOULDN'T DO!!!!!!!!

GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

I am planning on flying out to go and see Renee and the boys in November. I haven't seen them since last year, and things seem to be working out where I can go and spend a few days with them.

I am super excited. I love getting to spend time with Renee.

A Mother first, Best Friend Always

For those of you that don't know, this is my mother! She is an awesome person, and I am extremely lucky that God blessed me with such an awesome Role Model in my life!!

I always here people say, A mother should be a mother and not a best friend, but in all honesty, I think that a Mother can be both!

Grant you I have seen the Indian War Dance come from her in my younger days, and we have had words, but I honestly consider her MY BEST FRIEND!!!

As quoting mom, I was always a Daughter but now a Best Friend.

I love you mom

Baby D

This is Corey and His wife Dana. They were fortunate to welcome Baby D into the world earlier this month. The bad thing is, Baby D was early, and Dana had a lot of complications! Just wanted to ask for prayer for them as they go through a long walk! The plus is, both are very strong in their Faith of the Lord!!!

VBS 2009

pictures of me from VBS 2009 (oh and Ba)

They called me LiL Laura

Okay so let me start this post off, by "Wishing Ms. Laura a SPEEDY RECOVERY". I was just informed that you had surgery!!! I do hope things are going better for you!

Some of you may ask what the Title of this post means right??!?!?!?!?!?!

Well when i was a kid going up to see my father (when he worked for Revenue), I would pull up a chair between my father & Ms Laura and sit and talk with them. When Dad would call mom and tell her i was there, she would automatically want to talk to me, so i would get on the phone, prop my feet up on the stool that was up under the desk (if my mind remembers correctly i think it was orange) and everyone who would walk into the computer room would call me LiL Laura!!

I loved the T.I.T.L.E. it always made me smile...

So from LiL Laura to Ms. Laura. I wish you a speedy recovery!!!

Tuesday

Here is how the night went:

I went to see my Alice **for those of you that don't know** this is my dad's twin's youngest daughter.... Better known as my cousin.

Well she had back surgery a few months back, and I had not seen her since she went in for the Surgery!! I know, bad cousin right??? And she only lives about 30-40 mins from me!!! What on Earth!!!

Anywho, she looks better than i had seen her in years!!!!

I stayed about an hour and then headed back to prattville or Da'Ville as the kids are now calling it!

Then I went to Church to see if i could assist with Vacation Bible School. (I will post pictures tomorrow or so about it). But as soon as I walked through the door, I had several people start asking me why i was there!!

But i digress!!!

Then i went home.

and now I am about to go and do it all over again!!!

Adorable Nephew

This is my adorable nephew Tyler. I know you are in love right>!?!?!!? He now has a buzz cut just like his daddy!!! I am so very thankful for him & his mom. I truly don't know where I would be without the friendship of my Red!!!

Adorable

I do hope this post finds you all well... I know it has been a little bit since i have spoken to most of you.

Aunt Dean passed away yesterday, to some you all may not have known her, but she was a blessing to my Granny Boo, and for that I am sorry she is gone.

I have a question out there to the Blog community.

1. Have any of your ever studied 1John in Sunday School or Church?

***This has really been an eye opener for me***

FYI if you all have not heard, yes, i do have some pink in my hair!!!! aunt may you can stroke out when i see you!!!

I am looking forward to Saturday afternoon, my Sunday School Class is having a cookout!!! I will post pictures...

FYI also if you have not heard by now..

UR I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!

Here's Your Sign

Okay, let me just be the first to say what the?!?!?!?!!?

As i was driving down the interstate this a.m. I see the car ahead of me, flying up from behind me, grant you in the middle lane was a Tanker, and in the far right lane were two 18 wheelers and the idiot decides i am assuming to play CHICKEN, and comes up flying down the highway on the shoulder past the 2 semi's. ***key word here the shoulder*** you know if God wanted a car to use the shoulder than don't you think He would have put it in the "Driving Manual"? I mean come on people!!!

So here's to the IDIOT that stopped traffic on the Interstate to a dead stop!!!! You get no RESPECT FROM ME!!!
