M is for Monday and Meme

It is another meme Monday. Mostly because I am running too late everywhere to even think of something to actually write. Let me gather my thoughts for tomorrow's actual post while you get your giggle on. Today's Monday giggles is brought to you by a little T&T. Toddles and Tiaras for those of you that didn't catch that.

 

And of course a little Honey Boo Boo for the road.

I can't be the only one that finds these kids hilarious and these parents ridiculous? What do you think about T&T? What gives you the giggles? How has your Monday been? Hopefully a little better than mine. But either way... Have a MAGNIFICENT Monday.

Love,

Dear Ferns,

Adam has a brother named Aaron. But for nickname's sake, we call him Ferni. Or Ferns. I got a letter from him this morning. After telling me good luck and congratulations for marrying Adam and then all about the work he is doing as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints back east (he is in Virginia) he proceeded to tell me this...

P.S.  I killed a snake this week because it almost attacked me.  I think I am going to start my own Man vs. Wild but call it "The world vs. Ferni" hahahaha

And then he added this photo.

If any of you single ladies out there would like to write this strapping young man a letter, let me know! He loves getting mail. But then also... I think it is important to know that he has been training for this for awhile. Here is a very exclusive home video of him from... who knows how long ago, but it was before I knew Adam or his family. And I am so VERY lucky they shared it with me.

I have a few other good vids I could show you, but I think this one is a gem! What videos are you watching?

Love,
Deidre

Dear Temporary,

I will start with a photo... just to ease your mind... if you needed easing.

Remember how I keep saying "I promise I am not dead and I am back"? Well... I promise I am not dead! I am back! And once again... it will be temporary. That is what happens when you go to Idaho for a family get together of sorts one weekend, Canada for a best friend's wedding the next, and back to Idaho to crown the new MMV the following weekend. This week I am here for the long haul... but next week I am PEACING out for my wedding and I will fill this blog with guests posts! I have room for a few more, so let me know if you are interested. I feel like there are lot of things I was planning on telling you... but I seriously can't remember a single thing right now. So look forward to lots of posts (thats right... we are probably talking multiple per day) this week as I remember... timeline? And by timeline I mean the ones I know I will be writing, but I will probably fill in with extras and two a days as I upload my photos.

8/7 : Travel Expertise

8/8 : Idaho trip #1

8/9 : Canada Vacay

8/10 : Idaho trip #2 

8/11 : New apartment

8/12 : The great blog switch of 2012!

I bet you are wondering what I mean by great blog switch? Well... as I have previously mentioned I am getting married in just 10 short days! here are some interesting facts about the number 10:

10 is the atomic number for neon.

In blackjack, the Ten, Jack, Queen and King are all worth 10 points.

Ten-codes are commonly used on emergency service radio systems.

10 is the state number of Virginia.

There are ten official inkblots in the Rorschach inkblot test.

There are said to be Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (those other than Judah and Benjamin).

And because I am getting married my notes can no longer be from the desk of MISS EDMUNDS. Because I will be MRS. MILLER! So we are looking at a URL change and blog title change. Don't worry, I will make it painless. But... get excited! Because I sure am. And also. It is Movie Monday, so here you go.

I picked this one because I reminded this week that I want to be her. I want to be a rap superstar. What vids are you watching?

Love,

Deidre

Dear Miss Magic Valley,

I am back from Canada! And I am back to work and regular life for a few days before I head up to Twin Falls, Idaho to crown the new Miss Magic Valley! I can't believe it has been a year since this video was playing as I walked out on stage!

I am so excited for the pageant. This year has been incredible. I have loved every second of being Miss Magic Valley and I don't regret a single moment. I have become a stronger person because of this pageant. I have learned a lot about myself through competing in the Miss America Organization. I have a greater love and respect for the people in my community as well as the state of Idaho. I owe a lot of who I am to the experiences I have had competing, the support from my family, as well as the incredible directors I have had during the last year. Now it is time to wrap up my year as Miss Magic Valley. In honor of Miss Magic Valley week - I am sharing a Miss Magic Valley movie for Movie Monday! Talk about alliteration, right?

Look forward to a lot more pageant posts this week. But in the meantime, what videos are you loving?

Love,
Deidre

Dear Back From the Dead,

You probably haven't been wondering where I have been, but in case you have... I am okay! I went home to Idaho (more about my weekend home to come later) for the weekend.

It was the best time with all my family (minus brother Eric) and a special temple trip to get ready for my wedding that is in...

24 DAYS!

There are 24 teams that compete in the FIFA World Cup.

There are 24 carats in 100% pure gold.

Backgammon boards hold 24 points.

The Chinese Solar year has 24 cycles.

While you are all waiting in suspense to hear about my weekend home, let me remind you that it is.... drum roll please..... MOVIE MONDAY. The movie this week goes right along with the idea that I am in love and getting married as well as the sad reminder that in just two weeks I will be giving my title of Miss Magic Valley to a new young woman.

This is a little clip of me singing at Festival of Trees in December as Miss Magic Valley. I will sure miss the days of a crown and attention. What videos and movies are you loving?

Love,

Deidre
