Another Milestone Moment, Y'all!!!


Tomorrow is a very big day in all things Crimson Chaos...  My pride & joy, my best friend, my baby sister begins her career as a Registered Nurse at DCH's Cardiac Care Unit.  Typing those words seems so surreal to me because I could swear it was just last year I was wiping the tears off her cheeks because she literally loved her bunny to death.  Wasn't it just last week I was making the drive to watch her take to the sidelines to cheer?

The little girl I used to bribe to be in pageants (only to win most of the time)... The little sister who used to crawl to my bedroom almost every night after her bath so those chubby legs could crawl up to sit on my bed & pee on it...  That little girl may save your life or maybe someone's life that means even  more to you than your own starting tomorrow.

Of course, anyone who knows her expected the massive success she's seen in her life.  And yes I'm biased, but you could ask countless people who aren't and they always knew Ashley was destined for great things.  Even as a little girl, she always excelled at everything she's ever tried.  And when that girl had tragedy come up & slap her in the face; she endured, overcame, & took the time to raise money to prevent it from happening to anyone else.  

That's my sister....

Even at 23, she's a tiny little thing....  Petite as can be but it doesn't take anyone long to know she may be little physically.... But that's about the only small thing about my kid sister!  A force of life that won't put up with anyone's shit (especially her big sister's)!  


My sister starts her career tomorrow.  I have no doubt she will be an excellent nurse as she's great at pretty much everything she sets her mind to.  You may meet her one day as the nurse to your mother, your brother, your best friend...  And you'll see what I mean....

Ashley starts her career tomorrow & if you're lucky she'll be the nurse to you or someone you love.  But no matter how many lives she saves, she'll always be her big sister's baby girl!!!
No bunnies were harmed while taking this photo
I love you, Ashley Garrett!!! You make me so proud every day!!!

Roll Tide! Roll Ash!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
