"Not Me!" Monday


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and so many others have not been doing this week!

I don't even understand how it can be Monday again...really I don't! That is true!

What haven't I been doing all week to let all that time get away? You certainly would not have found Emily and I eating lunch at Chili's again...and we did not hear the waitress ask "Where's Alex?" when we sat down. {But don't tell Alex we go there often while he's at school. He would miss it...and the waitress misses him!}

I have not devoured at least one box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes already {but who's counting, Not me!} I do not love those and crave them all year long until the holidays! Yummy...so not delicious!

I was not so busy doing this and that...and some more of that this week, that Alex did not skip his tennis lessons this week so we could head to the season opener IU basketball game! {Well, we still could have made it if Alex went to tennis...but don't tell the coaches that!} Dan and Alex will have season tickets, but the girls were able to go this time too...and I did not see this most of the time...



Emily was not shaking those pom-poms every time Indiana scored or whenever the cheerleaders stepped foot on the floor! She did not love those cheerleaders!


We did not have a great time and hope that Emily and I get to go back again soon!



{don't mind Emily...she's just eating her Cracker Jacks waiting for the cheerleaders!}

I was not hoping to get a glimpse of John Mellencamp while I was there either...but maybe next time! He is a regular attender of the IU basketball games...and I won't keep trying!
And because I did not get a chance to participate in Pam's "You're Gonna Miss This...Moment" I am not using this as my moment too!

I will not miss these days of sitting at these basketball games with Alex and Emily...watching Emily be a cheerleader and Alex flip through the program eating popcorn...knowing that soon they will be attending these games as college students and cheering from the student section with silly red wigs and painted faces! {sigh...} Until then...we will not keep going and be on Mellencamp Watch!

One more thing...it was not me who did not even change out of her pajamas on Saturday, or take a shower or even go outside on a beautiful day! It was not me who just wanted a day to relax, do a little bit of laundry {even though there's lots} take a cat nap and have nowhere to be! Not me!

  2. I love Emily's tights! Too cute!!!!

    Your Saturday sounds like a great way to spend a day! We stayed home most of the day, but had somewhere to be in the evening. I love those days where you can stay home with the family. There's just something special about them.

    Take care my friend!
    Hope you have a great week!

  3. That is so funny about Chili's (and I will NOT tell Alex). Now when I walk into Panera on Sundays the lady says "hi Kelli." Busted!

  7. Okay, okay I promise not to tell Alex about Chili's!! :) How funny! We have a favorite little diner right by our house that also knows us by name...they don't even ask me what I want any more since I am a creature of habit and always get the same thing. It always freaks out our friends when we go with them. They think the owner is just being rude or forgetting me by not asking for my order when the truth is quite the opposite! :)

  9. Sure looks like you and the fam had a blast (even though you claim you did NOT!) I love when little girls idolize cheerleaders and brides. It is so fun to see the wonder and excitement in their one eyes.
    Oh, and what is with the obsession with John Mellancamp? I guess I might be the same way...I have major famous-itus and love spotting any who is remotely famous. Speaking of that, I may just have to do a true story post for you! Yep, that is what I will do tonight. Be watching, you might just get a kick out of this story!
