Total and Complete Randomness

In true Moochie Hart fashion...it's been a while.  The first 8 months of 2013 have passed all too quickly--I can hardly keep up! Here's a quick run-down:

January:  My New Years Resolution was to exercise more.  I exercised 3 days with my niece Maggie.  Epic FAIL! I also resolved to attend Wednesday night church services more frequently.  I actually have been doing pretty good at that one, so...score one for me. And finally, the highlight of January was when I hung my foot in my purse strap getting out of the car at church and, you guessed it, fell out into the parking lot.  It all happened so quickly that I might have said a word completely inappropriate for church.  Natalie was so upset about it that she requested prayer for me in her Sunday School class. I needed the prayers for sure.

February:  Kendall & Katie Carty (my college roommates twins) had their first birthday party.  I fell down in Kohl's after the party--my mom and Maggie witnessed the whole thing.  We laughed until we cried and Maggie insisted that they'd watch the security cameras later and replay my crash over and over and over.  She was probably right.  Just one more reason for me to never show my face there again. The highlight of the month had to be a last minute invitation to the UK vs. Missouri basketball game at Rupp with Gina Campbell Baker.  We cheered our Cats on to an overtime victory.  They couldn't have done it without us. 

March:  Nothing too exciting happened in March apparently.  As a UK fan, there certainly wasn't any March Madness going around, only devastation when Louisville won the national championship.  I have some very good friends who are Cards fans, so I'll just stop right there.

April:  Cass turned 10 and George Jones dies--all on the same day.  More devastation.  I cried like a baby watching his funeral!!

May: Operation Hoarders starts!  My mother insisted that we clean out the basement and remodel some of the upstairs in preparation for her knee replacement surgery.  Lord. Have. Mercy.  My dad was a hoarder before hoarding was cool.  Over 40 years of junk to go through and my dad I'm sure was laughing from the grave.  He saved everything! The original toilet that was in put in our house back in 1976 was sitting in the basement...broken...but taking up space because my dad wouldn't throw it away.  We filled up a dumpster and have partially filled another and there's more to go. 

June:  My mom has her knee surgery and did very well.  I ended up with a staph infection on my face and it was gross...but intriguing as well (if you love to pick at things and I do).

July:  eh..busy with work and with the bluegrass festival.  blah.

August:   A very successful RWAYH2 on August 10th and a very successful year 10 of the Lake Cumberland Bluegrass Festival.  Now, I can breathe easier and hopefully sleep a little better at night!!

Cass and Eli are showing cattle, Natalie is playing softball ALL the time, and Maggie is in the high school marching band.  They keep my hopping, but I realize that all too soon, they'll be "big" and won't want to hang out with their old Aunt Moochie so I'm trying to spend every single minute I can with them and I cherish every second I'm with them.  They are the very best part of me.

 Anyway, Life is busy. Life is full.  Life is good. I'm anxious to see where the next few months lead me...I'm just glad to be along for the ride.
