1. We had to cancel the birthday party because of rain. The little man was a remarkably good sport about it because his older cousins are here this weekend, and that is a party in and of itself. In fact, the Cousin Party just shut down for the night, and it is about 11:45. They are having a blast.
And despite the fact that we had to postpone the party for a few days, it was actually a really wonderful birthday. We had cake and ice cream with the family this afternoon, grilled hamburgers tonight, and the boys played more Wii than humans should be allowed. So much fun.
2. My beloved Bulldogs beat Alabama in overtime tonight in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. And when the Bulldogs were about two minutes away from their victory, the roof literally came off the Georgia Dome. I’m not kidding.
I’m telling you: that game shaved a solid decade off of my life. SWEET MERCIFUL GOODNESS. If the rest of the tournament follows tonight’s lead, then I’m going to require some sort of oxygen tank before I watch tomorrow’s semi-finals. And perhaps even a defibrilator. With a medic on standby.
3. Today the mailman brought us a package from some sweet friends in Texas.
This is what was inside the box.
It’s PERFECTION! Thanks, Wisners!
And fortunately, despite a lively in-house basketball game between my nephews, our roof remained intact.
If only the Georgia Dome could say the same.
4. The oh-so-talented Jules redesigned my blog, and I pretty much squealed and clapped my hands when I saw this new look for the first time. I love it! I have been wild about all of my blog designs but just felt ready for a change – something fresh and (just a little bit) funky for spring. I’ll give you all the design scoop on Monday.
Hope y’all have a great weekend!

Love the new design!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
I can’t see the new design on my AOL browser. :(
March 14th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I ADORE the new blog design. Very spring! We’re just barely starting to get blossoms here in the great Northwest…and the squirrels are going NUTS trying to find their…yeah. Nuts.
March 14th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I LOVE your new look!
I heard about the roof coming off the dome! That’s totally wild!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I squealed when I first saw the new header, not having read your post yet. BEAUTIFUL Blog!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
VERY glad you kept your signature green. What’s Boomama without bright, inyourface green?
March 14th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Love the dogwoods(?), they remind me of my Granny who had one in her front yard. Love it!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
I love the new design, I just re did mine tonight too!
I’m about an hour from Atlanta and it was a bad storm/tornado and they are calling for more tomorrow!

Ooooo, pretty!
March 15th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I LOVE the new layout. Perfect for spring and the colors and design are great!
March 15th, 2008 at 12:52 am
I saw that video of the dome lifting and sifting! It’s storming here now. Hail covering the ground and all that good stuff. Yeah.
Happy Birthday to Howard! Y’all have a good visit with all the family.
I like your new look! Jules did a great job. The apple blossoms really say “Spring!”
Tell Sister “Hi” for me if she doesn’t read this…
Love and hugs,

I love the new look! My parents were at the game and 1. they said it was the craziest thing they had ever been through, and 2. isn’t it great that the State/AL game went into overtime or else all those people would have been leaving during the tornado and a lot could have been hurt. Anyways.. yay State and I hope this doesn’t screw up KY!
March 15th, 2008 at 5:03 am
LOVING your new spring look!
March 15th, 2008 at 5:03 am
LOVING your new spring look!
March 15th, 2008 at 5:13 am
love the new look..the colors are beautiful!!!
March 15th, 2008 at 5:52 am
I like the new look. I changed my banner about a week ago. Spring must bring out the desire to redo one’s blog.
March 15th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Love the new design! So pretty but yet funky! When I heard what happened during the Miss. State/AL game at the Georgia Dome I thought of you. What a game! :)
March 15th, 2008 at 6:15 am
The new design looks great.
March 15th, 2008 at 6:27 am
The new design is GREAT!! Love it!
March 15th, 2008 at 6:35 am
That “miracle shot” was a miracle in more than one way. If the game had ended in regulation, all those people would have been in the streets… and there would have been quite a few fatalities. I’ve just been writing about the tornado on my blog… So horrible…
March 15th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Glad the birthday wasn’t sad despite the party cancellation. Been watching some b-ball myself here (my HS team played in the Target center last night). No roof comin’ off here, though. :)
March 15th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I hope that KY playing twice today totally wears them out. I hope they stayed at the GA Dome late to find out if they would play last night or not. And then I hope that they are sluggish for the late night game.
We’ll see.
March 15th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I immediately thought of you when I saw the Dome last night on the news. I knew you would be watching! Now you can say your Bulldogs brought down the house with their performance! We are fine where we are, but downtown is pretty torn up. Tell Howard “happy birthday”!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:01 am
Lovelovelove the new design and truthfully – the way y’all celebrated Howard’s b’day sounds perfect. Happy Birthday to that handsome lil man – and cool b’ball goal!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:19 am
‘Tis the season for blog redesign–I just did mine. I LOOOOVE yours though. Seriously spring, but still BooMama fantastic.
March 15th, 2008 at 7:21 am
LOVE the new blog-do!!!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:21 am
I know I commented on your uber-chic design when I discovered it last night, but know what I really like? Your signature at the bottom of the page. It’s the little details that always catch my eye :).
And about the rest of y’all’s shenanigans? About all I can say about that is “things” happen for a reason…:)
March 15th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I love your new design!!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Totally love the new design!
Very spring.
March 15th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Very chi-chi!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:34 am
We need to both win our games today again so the Dogs and the Hogs can meet up in the SEC final!!!! :-)
I’m really not too hopeful for the hogs to beat TN but miracles do happen!
March 15th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Love the new look.
March 15th, 2008 at 8:01 am
What a great new design!
And what a hoot about the Georgia Dome! LOL
March 15th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Your new design is absolutely adorable! I love the colors; very fresh and fun!
March 15th, 2008 at 8:30 am
LOVE the new blog design! So stylish! :)
March 15th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Love the new look. I’ve been waiting on a new design since October. Sigh. someday…
March 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Chiming in to say that I Love The New Design! Makes me want a new design EVEN MORE!
March 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Oooooh I love the new design! Happy Birthday, Little Man!
March 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I clicked over to Everyday Mom to see your new header, but it is not showing up on your blog for me. I use Safari. Is that why your old header is still up for me?
March 15th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Just noticed on your sidebar that you are reading Mitford–yay! Not everyone loves it, but those who do (like me) find it so lovable and comforting and warm.
Love the new look. It’s awesome–fun and funky, but there’s something peaceful about those flowers in the header as well.
March 15th, 2008 at 9:13 am
When you’re blog popped up I literally gasped with delight and sqealed OOO PRETTY! I LOVE IT! OH LOOK, I just saw your cute signature in the bottom right corner..Oh it’s just PERFECT!
And MERCY, what a GAME! I bet you do need some oxygen. I’m glad your boys won!
March 15th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I squealed too, when I saw it. Ooh la la, I love it!!
March 15th, 2008 at 9:33 am
First, I LOVE this new look!!!! Very cool..
Second, congrat’s to your Bulldogs! We live in the Atlanta area and were shocked when the storms came through and the roof “came off”! I felt so sorry for those players!
Thank the Lord, they were in overtime or all those people would have been in the streets!
Have a blessed weekend!

Love, love it! Blues and greens are my faves! Cute signature there at the bottom. Love the little details all around!
March 15th, 2008 at 9:45 am
I do love the new bloggy.
Chris is on tenterhooks as UK plays at noon today, then if they win at 8:45 tonight, and then again 12:45pm tomorrow.
That’s a lot of basketball.
March 15th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Worked like a charm! Thanks, BooMama!
March 15th, 2008 at 10:05 am
LOVE the new design! Fresh and sassy, just like you!
March 15th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Hey, Sophie, glad you made it back safe & sound from Africa. It sounded like an awesome experience. Love your new blog design too. See ya!
