If I were, I would be...

Cute questions I came across on Southern Belle Simple 's blog via her Facebok page, thought I would give it a whirl!!


If I were a month, I would be October because you get the late summer warmth with the crispness of the approaching fall.

If I were a day of the week, I would be Saturday cause in the South that equals cookouts, tailgates and College Football!

If I were a time of day, I would be late afternoon/early evening just as things are cooling off so you can enjoy a dinner on the patio.

If I were sea animal, I would be a clown fish because everyone needs to be silly every now and again!

If I were a direction, I would be South of course!!

If I were a piece of furniture, I would be a wicker rocker on a porch on a summer day!

If I were a gemstone, I would be a sapphire because everyone else will say diamonds!

If I were a tree, I would be a Magnolia of course, as Southern as Southern can be!

If I were a flower, I would be a blush colored rose because that is what I carried on my wedding day!

If I were a kind of weather, I would be a sunny day with low humidity and a gentle breeze.

If I were a car, I would be an old Jeep Grand Wagoneer w/wood paneling that I would use to get around my southern plantation.

If I were a place, I would be a big ole front porch attached to a true Southern Plantation mansion.

If I were a fabric, I would be a cool, crisp linen

If I were a scent, I would be gardenias and fresh cut grass

If I were a song, I would be Sweet Tea by Cravin Melon

If I were a pair of shoes, I would be a pair of blinged out sandals that match my linen fabric that I can enjoy on the front porch of my southern plantation while rocking in my wicker rocking chair on a crisp, warm sunny day drinking sweet tea of course!!

Now I am supposed to tag more of you to answer these cute questions. Instead of "tagging" you I will just say, if you come across this and read it, answer them and let me know where to find your answers!!

Tennis anyone?

Today was a bittersweet day. After 5 yrs of non stop dance lessons that included tap, ballet, hip-hop and jazz the DIVA has started a new venture. She started taking tennis lessons and I must say she did pretty darn good for never having played before!

As I watched her run her little heart out and hit the ball over the net I half expected her to get in the car afterwards and tell me she was done but she climbed in and talked about how much fun she had and how she can't wait to get back to practice next week!

I am sure we will hit our neighborhood courts for her to practice some before then, especially now that the evenings are cooling off a little. Like I said, it was bittersweet knowing that I won't be watching her dance this year and deal with hair and make-up and costumes and recitals but I am glad she is trying something new, the last 6 mths have been filled with new experiences so why should we stop now?
