The Pizza Roll Rebellion...

I'm 27 years old. You'd think I have the ability to make decisions on my own. So, at 10:30 the other night, I was hungry. I decided I wanted pizza rolls. Not the healthiest choice, I realize, but it was my choice nonetheless. My mom said no. My dad said no. I tried to obey. I washed my face and decided I was still hungry. I walked past my parents' room and said I was going to have pizza rolls. My dad said my name rather loudly and told me not to. I did anyway. I've never really been the rebellious type, but apparently this was a moment that called for action. Let me sabotage my body if I want to, dang it! I'll be the one facing the consequences, i.e. needing a significantly larger size the next time I buy clothing. But it's my choice, right? I'm not necessarily proud of my miniature rebellion - I don't like to be disobedient - but I feel as though there ought to come a time in one's life when parents can no longer tell you what to do. I don't appreciate being scolded...ever. In times such as these, I miss living on my own. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents. I really, really appreciate them, especially for allowing me to live at home and mooch a little while longer. But, I also want to have my pizza rolls and eat them too. Is that too much to ask?

    HAHA! I love it. I never would eat pizza rolls, Mamma Carr would pitch a fit! So I kind of know how you feel. All we eat is vegetables which I love don't get me wrong, but I do love my occasional chicken nugget, or in your case a bag of pizza rolls.

    GO KIELY!!!!!! I'm so proud of you! I can't believe that it was the pizza rolls that finally brought things to a boil.

    haha oh Kiely this brings back glorious memories. Remember sitting on the floor of the kitchen in the middle of the night laughing hysterically over Overeaters Anonymous? The ding of the microwave bringing people running? that is what this made me think of. Good for you for being strong and showing them who is boss! ;)

Look at the baby!

Surprise event of the weekend: My newest niece was born Saturday morning at 5:41, and guess when she was due - November 5th. Just in case you're confused or a little out of touch, Saturday was not November 5th. It was, in fact, October 17th, meaning she was in such a hurry to reach the world that she came three weeks early! Crazy kid. Needless to say, she's tiny. 4 pounds, 11 ounces kind of tiny. But, she is absolutely beautiful and has one heck of a big sister: "Psy'renee Alayna Dennis" - I'm pretty sure her name is bigger than she is. Paris holding her baby sister's hand. Tender. Paris told Psy (pronounced 'sigh', as in psychology, psychotic, psychiatrist, etc): "It's going to be alright." I almost cried, it was that adorable. Paris holding her sister for the first time... ...and Paris being distracted by a Barbie commercial on the TV above her. Paris found an awesome hiding place for her solo game of hide-and-seek. Lo...

Third Adventure. Part Four.

The adventure continued on Friday, 4 June 2010, with the Annual Shareholder's Meeting and the reason why I went to Arkansas.  I don't recall much of the official business that took place, but I do remember the famous people.  Jamie Foxx was our host and the star of the day.  He is a very twitchy performer; it was hard to get a clear picture.  He sang, he joked, he took Darell's jacket, he imitated Ray Charles... He was absolutely hilarious.  And I loved him on Sesame Street.    Famous person number two, and I still can't get over this: Enrique Iglesias. When in my life would I ever actually see him in a live performance?  That's right.  Never.  This may come as a shocker, so prepare yourself, but he's not actually the greatest singer.  He's really very pitchy, but his earpiece-thing came out, so I'll try not to judge too harshly.  Also, he's very pretty, and, he jumped off the stage and came out into the crowd about te...
