Top this weekend! Okay, it's no secret, I told yaw I was no good at sports or anything related to it. But listen to my weekend....try to top it. Sophie, my grand daughter had a ball game 10 am Saturday, I woke up at 9:15 and was in a dead rush to get there. Rushing with my make up, (yeah, I wear a SMALL amount of make up), anyway, I smeared mascara all down my eye to my cheek. I grab a Qtip to wipe it off, and stab myself in the eye with the Qtip. Within minutes, I got this blood red spot in my eye that was slowly but surely spreading itself all over the white of my eye. But, I DID get to the game on time. Thank God I happened to glance in the mirror just before going in....only to discover I had more lipstick on my chin than on my lips. Took care of that.

Sandi's Post Continued...
Asa had a ballgame that evening. So we, (me and my hubby Jack) have to drive across town to pick up Sophie cuz she wants to see Asa play....we are all starving, so we pull in Sonic. The bill is $15 bucks, I give the gal a decent tip....she runs off and I realize she short changed me! We open the bag and the order is totally wrong, and there was no chilli cheese burger in there for me. I call the girl out, tell her to explain the receipt and amount, and the food in the bag. She was a real knuckle head, so I tell her to forget it, I'll go to McDonald's (like she really cares, right?)I get my sandwich at McDonald's, nearly swallow it whole, reach for my drink...and Jack had already drained the cup dry! I'm about to choke on this nasty double cheese but we make it to the game and I'm alive.
The cheer leaders start throwing little basketballs and plastic drink cups into the audience. I knew I couldn't catch one....and didn't even try. I'm sitting there, watching the game with one good eye...next thing I know, I'm whopped in the forehead with the butt of one of those cups, and buddy.....it hurt! It pops me in the head, bounces and the lady behind me gets it! (she did give it to my grand daughter later). Now, you think I've had enough for the weekend? NOOOOOO....
I got to hurry and get Sophie back to her Dad (it was his weekend). Half way thru that trip, she starts crying with a toothache. I pull up to Super D for some toothache pain reliever, and they turn off the lights before I get out the truck....so I hurry down to Walgreen's, and just as a get to the doors, they turn the lights off! I run to the next Walgreen's& the lights are still on. I'm frantic looking for pain relief for Sophie Tiny tiny tiny print on all the packages and I don't have my reading glasses! I finally get a customer to help me read the packages, as you know there is no such thing as customer service! So I grab some children's liquid Tylenol, and toothache gel...I run to the car, pour the sticky strawberry gel in that little cup, spill it everywhere, (at 8 bucks a bottle), get the gel on her tooth...grab the steering wheel....and I'm stuck! My hands can't moved! Their like super glued to the wheel! By this time, my head is killing me, and my stomach is rolling from Mickey D's gourmet dinner.
Sophie gets out of the truck to go with her Dad (and is feeling much better), and all I can think about is a cigarette. I grab the pack, and it sticks to my hand....I shake it, and shake it, till all sticks fall out...and every last cigarette is drenched in red syrup (Tylenol). I get home, cry for an ice bag, and pass out on the couch. THEN this pesty kitten (girls pet) is crawling all over my face .....and it's tail fur sticks to my lips...which of course is full of red tylenol syrup. I sleep thru morning church and wake up feeling like I just got hit by a mac truck. Sophie calls from her Dads. She wants to go to evening church, and her Dad says yes, but again.....I have to drive to town to pick her up. I got 30 minutes to get Sophie and get to church. I got stopped by two trains, and got in the wrong lane and had to make a turn taking me the long route. But we (me and Sophie have a fantastic talk about Jesus). We get to church 20 minutes late. Sophie never takes her eyes off the preacher, surprisingly what we talked about in the truck was EXACTLY what he preached about! And guess what she did? She went to the alter! She wants to be baptized, and THAT was worth every bit of crap that happened thru out the weekend!!She will be baptized next Sunday, and she got so many hugs after church that I think she was totally overwhelmed, as was I. She is only 8 years old, but she has been asking about God the Bible, Jesus, and being baptized for about 6 months now. She asked for a bible this Christmas, and has been reading it constantly. I know she is ready. What a blessing the whole weekend turned out to be!
And by the way, Asa played an awesome game and his girlfriend was awesome when she sang the National Anthem at the game. Amen & Hallelujah! Best weekend I EVER had!
Love, Sandi
wow, what a wonderful weekend! sorry about the eye & the knot on your forehead tho
Love,
Orrin
Oh my gosh, that sounds like the perfect backdrop for a full feature film! Jamie Lee Curtis can play the part of Sandi, Billy Bob Thorton can play the part of Jack, Dakota Fanning will play the part of Sophie, and Jesus can play the part of Jesus.
The Title could be The Sandi Code. Coming soon to theaters near you. Be sure to watch the Oscars, if they have them, as this film will surely be nominated heavily. Rumor has it that filming has already begun on the sequel Sandi Griffin and The Temple of Doom, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Owen Wilson, Dakota Fanning, and returning for his original role, Jesus.
I meant to say something else, since Jodi is a photojurnalist where is the hell is all of her pictures? And Cory if you read her book list you should notice that she didn't list the authors in APA format. What is this world coming too?
Hey thanks Jim....Now I'll have to have Jodi explain what the hell AP format is so I can respond! Growing up, as a poor black child, we didn't have a lot of books & such....
Oh boy....I can't wait to see you "guys" in action together! The wise guy cracks will be non-stop I'm sure!! Cory, I bet you can relate to Steve Martin in "The Jerk", huh?
yikes Sandi.... I think that that one left a mark!
Alright...I may not be a total a**hole....but I AM a total wise a**!
It's a gift, what can I say....
: )
hey Cory, I saw that movie, I wonder if she was talking about when he was naked and held up two dogs to cover himself, but he has the little dog in front. I'm not sure but she might be slamming you, she does that a lot.
Hey -- I'm not judging the type of movie you prefer, BUT, that guy / animal thing is not my cup of tea. I like good old fashion, run of the mill porn, myself -- you know, maybe a clown or two...possibly a bearded woman -- you know, the usual!
Geez....I was told that Sandi was the "bad influence" -- not to be confused with "bad flatulence" -- but she's been nothing but a sweatheart!
(I forgot to tell you -- in addition to being a wise a**, I'm also a world class a** kisser! It's true -- I took the silver at the 1984 Summer Games!)
I could be wrong, maybe it was Orrin after all, let him figure that one out.
I had a thought on C. Norris. I did fight Bill Wallace a couple of times. He was in the movie with chuckie when he had the adopted black son, if you remember the movie. Anyway, the last time I saw Bill he was in Memphis hanging with Elvis, but this time he came and watch me fight. Well he was there and he was watching.
P.S. Sandi, I know I have been teasing you hard, so sorry for that, love you very much. Just keep the wig on!lol
Hey! I resemble that remark too
Going bald as I am, it is a good thing that I have a hairy back.... It may make for a bad combover, but no wig for me!
but it is curly
