What's the Big Idea?

I can't remember who it was but a child of one of my friends would say this. "What's the big idea?" And I think that is so cute. Kinda like hey what's the big deal?

Anyway, the big deal is this: I am going to be an AUNT! And that would be x2 because 2 babies will become my nieces within a week. My stepsis and sister-in-law are due just days apart, and it's looking like the big day could be this weekend. We'll see. I will just flip out (as will my family) if they have them on the same day! Little Lily and Sophie will be celebrating their birthdays together for all their lives! ....Hmmm...will this be a good thing? I guess it will just have to be. As the time draws near, I am getting much more excited.

And just in case you're wondering - my South Beach diet has drastically improved. I have been quite successful in Phase 2. No more cucumbers and eggs...thank God. And seriously - didn't He create wheat for a reason?? BREAD helps the world go 'round, people.

My LAUGH for today happens a lot. I think it about it often for some reason but only hear it every now and then (and say it as well.) I think we have created a new word in the English language. And that would be "a-whole-nother." It's embedded so much that you probably don't notice it at all. But once you notice, you'll always hear it. "Can you believe I ate a-whole-nother piece of pie?" - "Man, it took me a-whole-nother day to finish that book." Is this a Southern thing or what? I just heard a lady say it on the cel phone in the grocery store.
