there's no place like home

but good gawd is it hot in mississippi right now.
my fingernails were perspiring.

just got back from a quick weekend trip to visit the folks in south mississippi - couple of in laws are turning 50 and we attended a surprise birthday party.

good time was had by all and i am officially a karaoke whore.

what else....
was almost too hot to swim.
seriously. it's that hot.

went four wheeling through the piney woods for an hour and while it was HUGELY enjoyable and you can't beat the scenery, i sweat more in that one hour than i have in the past three years combined. i tried real hard not to bitch about it - but please don't question the hubby or the brother on this...

and most importantly, boiled peanuts rock.
they are a true southern delicacy.
pair them with an ice cold beer and you have yourself a right fine meal.

my Dad is so awesome - he had a big bowl ready for me when we got there. then boiled more and sent me home with a small ice chest full.

nothing spells love like an ice chest full of boiled peanuts...
