day 17

30 Day Challenge

Today's challenge is probably one of my favorite so far.

Family

I have a HUGE family, my mom's side, my dad's side, my husband's HUGE family, and the friends who I consider my family.

However, I thought it fitting to honor a man, known to many as "The Bud Man". A year ago this April, he passed away, and although gone from the Earth he is still VERY MUCH a part of our everyday lives. He raised a family, built a legacy, and left behind shoes no man or women could ever fill. . .except Mary of course.

My Grandfather, Bill McMahon.

Working for Budweiser wasn't just a job. It gave more to a family of 10 than a roof over their heads or food on their table; it gave them stability, a slice of American history, and pride.

 Budweiser is MORE than just a beer, MORE than the KING of Beers.

A product that, like my family, has stood strong through the test of time.

Budweiser has never failed.

Budweiser is Tradition.

Budweiser is Legacy.

When the "Bud Man" himself left us, we carried on his tradition as one.

People may not understand what we do or, why we do it with a beer in our hands,

Why the gifts in old wooden crates, stamped with our history, are better than the gifts wrapped in shiny paper under the tree,

The Irish wakes, the funny clothes, or the company we keep.

But to us, Budweiser unites us with memories we will not soon forget

and a story that we can pass along for all the days of our lives.

And I'm sure, that when My Grandpa was called up to the gates of Heaven. . .the words he heard were this:

Here comes the King, Here comes the Big Number One,
Budweiser Beer is Beer that's second to none.
The King is calling, so loud and clear.
There's only ONE Budweiser Beer.
There's only ONE Budweiser Beer.

(this is NOT my grandfather)

Thank you Grandpa for Giving us a Legacy and a Tradition to build upon.
Thank you Grandma for holding us all together, as you continue to do everyday.
Thank You Both for teaching ALL OF US the meaning of FAMILY.


Grandpa,

This Bud's for You.

day 16

30 Day Challenge

So, I don't think I HAVE a true celebrity "crush".

However, I think I MIGHT have found an underlying theme that COULD explain part of my childhood haha.

I LOVED the show Home Improvement.

I thought I was "in love" with JTT, or, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

My parents joked about me being "in love" with Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.

BUT NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE

Thought I had subconcious "crush" on

AL BORLAND

I mean. . .just look at my hubby haha

Hahaha. . .now THAT'S FUNNY. . .I don't care who ya are.

Ok, ok, he's more handsome (in my opinion)

In better shape

Not as hairy. . .thank goodness

And sans tool belt.

Kevin DOES, however, carry a multi tool. . .he says it makes him feel "manly" heehee (it makes me giggle).

But I think I just figured it out: I love flannel and I love a man's man.

I will leave you all with this video clip from Home Improvement

Live. Laugh. Love. Wear Flannel

day 15

30 Day Challenge

If this even a SERIOUS question?

Something I can't leave the house without?

How about TWO things.

My IPOD. . .

I listen to this in the car on my way to work

At the gym while I'm working out

In the car on my way HOME from work

And sometimes even before I fall asleep.

And OF COURSE. . .MY PHONE

I use this for everything

My alarm clock

My email (all 3 of them)

Facebook

Keeping up with all my blogs

Communications at work

SOMETIMES, if I FORGET my IPOD. . .gasp. . .as my mp3 player

And obviously, as a plain ol' simple phone.

Enough said

day 14

30 Day Challenge

My Favorite Show of the Moment

Definitely ABC's series Brothers & Sisters.

Now in it's 5th Season, I'm hoping this show doesn't go anywhere ANYTIME soon.

I just finished watching Season 4. . .because of my work schedule, I don't have much time to WATCH the show when it airs, so I rely on Netflix most of the time.

I don't think there is ONE character in the whole cast that I don't like watching.

I come from a large family, where my mom is 1 of 8.

I am 1 of 4 in my "extended" family.

My husband is 1 of 5

I can relate to Brothers and Sisters, seeing how while they each have their own lives. . .everyone of them is intangled in the other one.

However. . .JUSTIN & REBECCA

By far my favorite story line of the show. . .which I have a feeling I will be getting VERY UPSET when I get around to watching Season 5.



SOME of their story feels like SOME of mine. . .so, if they get rid of Rebecca, I hope they have plans to bring her BACK!

If you haven't seen it. ..check it out ASAP.

day 13

30 Day Challenge

Yay. . .a VIDEO for today's entry.

Which, might I mention my Husband is going to KILL ME.

Yep, you guessed it.

My Favorite Musician IS

KEVIN JACK

He's such an amazing and gifted man. He plays by ear and can play most songs just by hearing them once. I'm telling you, I could listen to him play all day. The classical stuff he plays is my favorite, but I don't have a video of that, so I decided to post a little video of him playing around with Brother Brian (Kevin's identical twin). Brian is UBER talented as well and plays the guitar. . .maybe I'll post a video of this later.

Sorry for the poor video quality. . .I recorded this on my cell phone. I wish I had used my camera, but I had no idea that I would be using it for this purpose later.

Kev, if you're reading this. . .don't be SOOOOO angry ok. . .I love you and I THINK you're amazing.

Can't wait to unpack the piano this fall when you COME HOME.
