WARNING: this post may be boring!

I have been so busy this week! I have gotten back on the weight watchers train (AKA "rehab"). I know that it is proven to work, but I feel so strange in there. Apparently, I am the only person my rehab meeting that actually cooks. (FYI-85% of the women in there are over 50) So I just find it strange that they aren't out searching for new, fun, and delicious recipes like I am! My philosophy is -If I'm going to do this torturous thing to my body, then I will at least gain some new recipes!
I also rejoined the Y, but this time as a family. I did this for several reasons.
1. THEY HAVE DAYCARE!!!! So I can get up, grab big A, and head to gym before I take her to school (She is only signed up for Mother's Morning Out, which doesn't start until 9 and ends at 3, which left me pretty scrapped for time to work out!). And, I know I am totally about to creep someone out, but I can take a shower, get ready, and fully dressed without interruption in the locker room! I think this is a revelation in the world of worker outers! Maybe everyone else has been using this system forever, but it is incredibly wonderful to me, even if I am forced to use a semi-public shower (and revert back to the days of freshmen dorms with the shower shoes!). Speaking of shower shoes, Kara- you will be proud, mine are High School Musical 3. They were the only ones that fit me at Wal-Mart. (EEEK! It must be a recession for me to be shopping at walmart-I am not trying to be a snob, but I generally feel it is important to support our local small businesses! In this case, I needed too many things in a hurry, but I digress.)
2. My parents filled in their pool last summer (bummer). It was totally wasted space! They never used it, and when Avery was born, Ama was pretty concerned that Aves might drown. Reason number two-Pool!!! We need a place to swim this summer, so, now we can do that.
3. Swimming Lessons for Miss Avery. I would like her to be very comfortable in the water as early as possible! She tries to swim in the bathtub all the time! I am hopeful she will at least master "blowing bubbles and drinking water" like her Uncle E did not too many years ago.

Not only am I on a weight loss, get in shape mission this week, but ever since our NYE party that Emerge threw at Alley Station, my dang phone has been ringing off the hook! Which is great, but Scotty and I are having trouble keeping up! And, to top it all off, Scotty is leaving us after Friday!! We are looking for a replacement if anyone knows an organized, fun, smart person looking for a J-O-B in Montgomery!

Last thing I will throw at you today: Jessica McAzar has been posting photos from high school on facebook. They are hilarious, but have got me thinking about all the dumb, yet funny sayings we used to have. I leave you with a few, and let you reminisce if you were a part, or you can ask, what-the-H-E-double-hockey-sticks is she talking about.
1. Let me see yo cubby hole. (my personal favorite, but is not meaning anything dirty, get your mind out of the gutter!) Dave Yate, Jess Mac, Big Bude, Trace Al, et al
2. That movie's off da chain! (random kid Kara and Meggie picked up late night)
3. Money over beaches. (meggie's thug bf)
4. I'm the number four stunna in the stunna club. (Roberto, AK)
I know there are more, but I just drew a blank!
Williford, out!

Hey Tracy...
I am a guilty blog stalker, but at least I know you, so that makes it less weird...right? :) . Anyway, I love your blog. Avery could not be any cuter. And you are the best writer. Your posts are hilarious. Does AKIB read your blog... I will tell her about it just to make sure she sees her shout out. And BTW, I cant believe you forgot to include the howdee. I am still surprised that was not David Waters senior quote.

Kara said...

yay for HSM3!! and i died laughing at the quote from that dude about You Got Served! bhahahahah.

also, really love that you know call her Big A as opposed to lil aves. it gives her a bit more presence.

ok please not YMCA public pool. I can't take it. Todd has a pool we can use all summer long.

Tracy Williford said...

Searcy-thats interesting, I assume you are planning on this lasting until the summer!!! nice.

Check out Hungrygirl...she is awesome and everything I have made from her has turned out delicious! So far I have tried the buff chick hot wing dip, the monkeybread minis, and chocolate cake. And she is WW approved.
On another note, love all of Avery's pictures. She is adorable. Can't wait to meet her!
Also...how about Talladega and Saliba's "Gentleman, I'll start your engines" t-shirt...I believe many quotes came off that.
Love you!
