She Has A Point!!

I have to admit she had a point! I mean really....who wants to get clobbered by girls that are WAY BIGGER than you. She's only 11....my little Bon and most of the time....she says "out loud" exactly what I'm thinkin. Could this be that I have rubbed off on her...or we are so innately alike it's not even funny.

She saw the other team from a distance and she started telling me some of the things that the other girls on her soccer team had already told her. Apparently, they had played them last year and remembered it well. The girls that they would be playing on Saturday were actually known for kicking girls and playing dirty. I told her what my PaPaw used to tell me...."the bigger they are....the harder they fall". I don't think that helped her any. Despite that...she looks adorable in her uniform...don't ya think?

My spunky monkey!!

So we have had three games thus far.....and she's pretty upset about not winning any of them. Did I tell you she is competitive? This is usually why she only does individual sports. Oh well.....she does love playing this game so we are happy about that.

As we approached the field and saw the big girls....she said, " If you think I'm getting out of this car and playin those big girls....you're crazy!" After much encouragment she finally got out of the car! At least it wasn't a shutout! They team actually held their own. Maybe next time!

Peace out to you Sista's!

It Was Just Ah'ight Dawg!

Have I told you about Wednesday Nights? Well Sista's.....on Idol night...let's just say T.V. is my friend! Tonight was Elton John!!! When I first heard this ...I'm thinkin..."this is gonna be very interesting". And well ...in my opinion was "just  ah'ight dawg". I really thought it was going to be better than it was.

My favorite of the night was Lauren! She sand," Candle in the Wind"....which is a song about Princess Diana, who I just loved. Miss Lauren did a great job! Sista can hit just any note. Love Love Her!!! Some of my FB peeps said that she could be my daughter....and I will so take that as a compliment!

I know the judges think they did us some big favor last week about saving Casey, but I just don't see it after tonights performance. OKAY...am I crazy or did they thing trimming his hair and beard qualifies him for a makeover. I think NOT. They should have shaved his WHOLE face. What up with that?

And for those of you who love Pia, let me just start out by saying...I really do think the girl can sang...but she is SOOOOOO BORING me! She comes out every week and just stands there. Is that what people do? I think NOT. She needs some dance lessons...but then again...WHO can dance in seven inch Jimmy Choo's! I'm glad she's pretty!!

James rocked it as usual...but po thang is gonna get an earful for saying, "Pepsi" when COKE is Idol's Sponsor. I think he realized it about six seconds after the comment. Poor Ryan was scrambling to mention COKE again...as their Sponsor. Ah...ya gotta love it. Of course that is an advertisers nightmare...and I don't think he'll make that mistake again.

Oh well...when I grow up, I want to be on Idol. Ya'll know ya'll would vote for me. Hugs to all my Sista's!

Idol Chat!

Is it me or does this year seem WAY different? I mean seriously...in previous years they wouldn't even allow instruments...now ....Lord Have Mercy....the choir comes out tonight with Jacob...totally drowning him out...which was a good thang...cuz Brotha was a wee bit off key tonight. (Although..I love him dearly!)  And lets be real.....is that fair to the other singers whose songs would not benefit from more than two backup singers?  uhmmmmm......that would be a NO.

I will have to say my favorite thing about Idol this year is Steven Tyler. He inspires and says things that have never been said before. He's refreshing and let's face it....clearly enjoying himself watching the ladies sing. ( When then camera pans over to him while their singing...he cracks me up!)

And if Ashton thinks she's Diana Ross.....she is sadly mistaken. I don't know what Randy was thinkin when he made that comment to her last week. Tonight she sang an unknown song and freakin Barry Gordy from MOTOWN was there to see her sing. Well.....thank God the trip wasn't a total waste for him. I am sure once he got a load of PIA singing, "All By Myself"...he was glad he came to Hollywood. She is definitely the Dark Horse to watch out for.

It is time for a girl to win. The last three AI winners have been male. I have to be honest I have chosen the past winner for the past year except for last year. Yes...I had Adam picked from the top 24. (I am still mad about that!) Of course....his sales have way outnumbered...Chris whatever his name was....from last year. Adam stood way out above the rest!

I am lovin me some James!!!!His story is amazing and I just love the fact that someone with a disability has beat the odds and has made it so far! Like he said tonight....he feels like he's already WON. 
I hope he's in the finals for sure.

My life has been revolved around Big Boo's Lacrosse tryouts so...I have been WAY to BUSY to even consider blogging. Hugs to all you Sista's.

Spoof On National Anthem....Ya'll Know I Don't Mean No Disrespect!!!

Please know that I don't mean no disrespect....because the National Anthem is a beautiful thang! But I have to tell you it seems like lately that everybody tries to put their on "stamp" on it...to make it "their own".
Attention Singers....there is only one Whitney Houston...and one Jennifer Hudson...so Ya'll give it up. Oh...and as far as it goes for Christina forgetting the words.....You try singing in front of millions and don't see if you mess up something! So...Christina wherever you are....don't listen to all the negative...this SoulSista has yo back!

But I don't care what anyone says.....dis if funny right heerrrrrreee!!!

Pizza Hut Delivery...Not A Good Idea!

Please know that I am not complaining...I am loving where I live

but today was I say I just had to laugh or I would've cried!

I took Lil Bon to the bus stop....and this is what I saw.

I'm sorry but this was just funny to me. Here I am at the bus stop with

8 freezing kids in my car waiting at the bus stop....because the bus was

taking so long...I felt sorry for the kids...so I said..."Come on in ...forget

everything your parents have told you...I am not a stranger and GET IN"!

All but one... little precious angel listened. "I said Honey

if you don't want to freeze you may wanna go back home or get in". She

got in very reluctantly. ( Yes her Mama did train her right!)

Back to my picture story! The man is actually a man I know...so I

rolled down the window and said...."Ken what on earth do you think you

are doing"! And what on earth are you wearing?" He said..."Just gettin

a little exercise!" I'm thinkin to myself.....

 I would rather run up and down in the stairs in my house

than to get out in this mess and exercise.

Forty-five minutes at the bus stop with 8 kids and I'm done. Finito..I'm over it!

So I delivered all the children in my car safely to their homes. My precious neighbor twins...

aka...the Bieber twins came on home with me. Lil Bon was in heaven all day....because they

stayed with me until their parents got home this afternoon.

Meanwhile...I order Pizza Hut...as requested by the kids. The lady said one hour and 30 minute

wait. I said OK...it's a little after 11:00 a.m. they'll be good. Pizza doesn't arrive until 2:15 p.m.

Everytime I called.....they left 20 minutes ago. He finally arrives and then when he goes

to leave...he gets stuck in my drive way. So the guy was just the nicest so I said I will go

and get my shovel and help you out.

This is where it get's real stupid.

We dig and shovel....dig and shovel..... and I think we've done enough and he gets back in the car

and just picture me in the front of this car. I said..."Hold ON Cowboy...just

make sure this think is in reverse....or Mama's gonna need a "Colorado plot".

He said, "dont worry"...I don't want anyone to get hurt. So his wheels just

spun a layer of ice on my head. I swear...at this point...I'm convinced I'm

getting punked...and Ashton Kutcher is in the bushes.

I go back to get a metal shovel and we start shoveling again....I can't feel

my fingers at this point. But I keep at it...and finally I got on the back of his

car and said..."let's try it again"...so he get's in and we finally get it out.

Pizza Hut Man...James....gets out of his car and gives me a big ole hug

and said...."you just saved me from calling Triple A so I am going to

give you a free pizza under your address for the next time you call".

At this point....I'm exhausted. This shoveling snow is NOT up my alley!

The soulmate has made me swear to him I would not attempt it again.

There is something though about seeing other women shovel snow....and

him telling me that I don't need to do that. I guess I feel a little guilty.

Can we say SnowBlower? Soulmate says we don't need one.

We have a 15-yr-old Son that's gonna want a car this summer...

so we don't need to worry about it. He Will Shovel Snow.

So here I am .....flying by the seat of my pants as usual!



It's Snowing Out The Wazoo!

They said it was coming! It's finally here and the snow hasn't stopped since 10 a.m. this morning. I got up to run to Target before it started to try to get last minute goodies..just in case we got snowed in for the New Year!

So...I am at the checkout line and glanced outside to see a blizzard going on!!Lil Bon said, "Mama...hurry up or we are gonna get stranded"! You mean in a wreck...not stranded. So....we grabbed the buggy and hurried out the door!! When I got home...which is only two minutes from my house....this is what I came home too!

Seriously....can you believe that this happened so fast!

It's been kind of funny lately....everyone keeps telling us that Colorado is breaking the weather to the DeLoney's very easy! "It's never been this mild"...is all we keep hearing! It snow's up in the mountains every other week or even day....but that's an hour away from us in Denver. So if you're a weather bug and watch the news at night and see it that it's snowing....it's usually in what we call the High Country...not in Denver particularly.

So all of this is making one boy very happy!

This is Troy....(my other boy....or so I've claimed him as mine!)

Troy is here visiting us from Tampa from our old neighborhood....he is one of Big Boo's bestie's!

He is loving all the snow and the soulmate took them up to Copper Mountain yesterday....so he's been in La La Land here with us! We love him dearly!

In fact....they are all playing in the snow right now...so I'd better get out and take some photo's!

Peace Out!!! To all my Sista's!!

Love,

Debi

Christmas In Colorado.....Our Very First!

Our First Christmas in Colorado 2010!

I can't hardly believe we have already lived in Colorado for six months! Wow has the time just flown by! Everything is so different here but in a good way! Colorado is very family oriented and there is tons of things to do here in any direction you drive. Right now though...primarily snow skiing. All of the ski resorts are just an hour from where we live......so this makes it great to head to the mountains and just ski for the day and come right back home!

This family picture was made over Thanksgiving up at Copper Mountain. We loaded the car and headed up to the slopes and stayed in a condo at Copper and had three fun-filled days of skiing and relaxation. Some of Austin's friends met us up there ....so he had friends to snowboard with while we went skiing with Coley. Except we split up and Austin left me on the side of a mountain.....I was later rescued by two very cute ski patrol guys....so you see....sometimes things just have a way of working themselves out!

I look forward to 2011 and meeting more new people and making sure my peeps are doing well in school and helping them pursue their dreams. Having a 15 -yr-old...who just got his permit...and an almost 11-yr-old sure keeps me on my toes. I have to say ...they both have been amazing about the move an everything that brings....like meeting new friends...in school and in the neighborhood....getting involved in our new church. So I am very proud of them for putting forth every effort to be happy and getting settled in.

Now that all the dust has settled and our basement is finished....I am curious to see what God has in store for me here. I miss all of my life-long friends I have made in Tampa and have been missing them all very much lately. I guess you could say....I am officially getting bored. So who knows what 2011 will bring....but I am looking forward to it!

Many Blessings to you and your family for 2011!

Love,
