Happy 29th Birthday!

It's Breezy's very first 29th birthday today!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie! I wish you many more happy 29th birthdays!

What's In A Name?

With GRADUATION under our belts, it's time to focus on a wedding!

Most of you know that these two became engaged a couple of weeks ago on May 3.

Most of you also know that Breezy is already married and her hubby's nickname is BestSonInLawEVER. Which, as hindsight often goes, was probably not the best thinking on my part. You know, having four daughters and all.

So now, I find myself faced with coming up with SonInLawToBe's nickname. Easy? Maybe.

In other families. But not ours.

In all honesty, the lovelies call the relationship between the two 'boys' a bromance.

That being said, BestSonInLawEVER does not want any future sons-in-law to have a name that one-ups his.

SonInLawToBe wants to one-up BestSonInLawEVER.

Don't worry. It's ok, as it really is all in good fun. HOWEVER, the nickname for the new son-in-law has to be good. Clever. Just right.

So, I put it up to y'all, my most delightfully creative, funny, clever bloggy buddies.

Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to come up with a nickname for the son-in-law to be.

Their newest 'thing' is photo bombing---here's BestSonInLawEVER who wants to pick the winner.

Here's SonInLawToBe, who wants to pick the winner.

I'm thinking the lovelies and I will pick the winner.

After all, the winds of hormonal stasis remains in the direction of the feminine.

There will be a prize for the winner to be disclosed at a later date!

I'm thinking I'll run this for at least one week.

Just leave your idea(s) (Yep, you can have more than one!) in the comment section!

It's a Breezy Day!

And by It's a Breezy Day, I mean-- it's BREEZY'S BIRTHDAY!

I could tell y'all how brilliant Breezy is- seriously, brilliant to the point of genius. Or I could tell you what an avid believer she is in our Constitution. Or I could tell you how talented she is- a writer of poetry and short stories, she plays the cello and guitar, she paints. Or I could tell you how she is THE comic relief in the family. Or I could tell you how outgoing, generous, loving, loyal, passionate, compassionate...that she is. Or how she is protective of her sisters to the point of...well, just don't mess with her sisters.

I could tell you how she's the lovely who's been with me the longest. And how she's the one who was often called acid tongue at the ripe old age of...two. And how she's been questioning authority without fear since the age of---three. And how she would argue a point to death even after winning a debate because she had "one more point to make." And how she entertained us all with getting things stuck on her fingers and falling after tripping over---nothing but air. And how, when she played basketball, would politely hand the ball to the defensive player trying to take it away from her. 

But I won't. Instead, I've made a video that, hopefully, shows what a great kid she is. 

FYI: The lovelies didn't grow up with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Oh no. They grew up singing the Beatles; the Marshall Tucker Band; The Doors; Pink Floyd; Stevie Ray Vaughn; The Allman Brothers; The Grateful Dead--to name a few.  And so, the song I chose is one of Breezy's favorites and one of the first Grateful Dead songs her dad taught her to play on the guitar.

I'm sure she'd love it if y'all stop by her blog, The Blonde Oxymoron, with a birthday greeting! 

Happy 27th Birthday my darling daughter! We love you more than you'll ever know--and then some!
