Nine days away from going over the river and through the woods. My second favorite holiday is fast approaching. Turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie, popcorn, toast...all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes.
And why not be thankful, I have the world's greatest daughter, lovely wife, a beautiful and healthy niece, two rambunctious nephews and a mother in law who can flat out jam on the bass guitar.
Thanksgiving will be a very hectic time for all of us. Here is my schedule for next week for those of you who may be interested:
Thursday Lunch - Grandma Groomes
Thursday afternoon - Mawmaw and Pawpaw
Thursday night - Granny and Papaw
Friday - Razorback vs. LSU
Saturday morning - Put up outside Christmas Decorations (tentative)
Saturday Lunch - Mawmaw and Pawpaw
Saturday night - Putting up Christmas Tree (tentative)
Sunday morning - Church
Sunday Lunch - Mamaw Overtons
Monday - Back to the impervious task of pleasing the task masters of White Bluff.

The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years And Grizzly Ghouls From Every Tomb Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom And Though You Fight To Stay Alive Your Body Starts To Shiver For No Mere Mortal Can Resist The Evil Of The Thriller.
Part of being a great father means doing things that you normally wouldn't do. This year I guess I will take Sophia out for some Halloween fun. Trick or Treating, TPing some houses, rotten eggs and water balloons. It will not be something that I will probably enjoy but since Sophia is asking to go then I guess I will take her.
She is really excited about Halloween this year hoping that she may get some caramel apples and popcorn balls........by popcorn balls I am referring to the ones that are homemade not the pre-made store bought garbage.
If you get a knock on your door and open it to find a blazing brown paper sack it would be wise not to stomp it out. You have been fairly warned, even if you are "family"

All the live long day
The eyes of Texas are upon you. Could get ugly in Austin. We will leave it at that. In the meantime here are some pictures of the sweetest little girl in the world.
See the halo?
Halo and Horns?!?
Just kidding
Paw and Sophia
Mommy and baby

Where the treetops glisten
The goose is getting fat which means that Christmas is right around the corner. 93 days to be exact, but who's counting.
Me, the big cheese, the head honcho, king of the castle, that's who. In preparation for the upcoming holiday celebration I have been conversing with my daughter as to what it may be that she would like to have Santa bring her. She's given me a rather lengthy list of presents so I figured that this would be the perfect place to show her wish list.
1. Nintendo WII
2. Ben Hogan Apex II blade golf iron's for an adult male. She said she will grow into them?!?
3. Skycaddie 8 gps unit
4. Autographed photo of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer at 1973 Ryder Cup
5. Basketball goal
6. Trampoline
7. Inflatable Bouncer big enough so daddy can watch her play
8. History of Wrestlemania on Blu Ray Disc
9. Tickets to 2010 Maters final round
10. Apple iPod touch - flash 32 GB
11. A doll
I will try to post a picture of the baby sometime this week.

Wait a minute mister postman
Sophia Claire Groomes esquire has defied the odds and arrived not just on time but early. I can now say unbiasedly that with my superior dna we have produced the most perfect baby ever birthed. We are still working on the sleeping and eating but she has the crying down to an art. If I could just get about six hours more sleep a night then everything would be going tremendously.
Sorry this entry is so short but I have lubrication duties to attend to.

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play
We are less than 23 hours away from the start of the Bobby Petrino era. Excitement is in the air. Apparently my wife is so excited she can't sleep. She must be nervous because she goes to the bathroom about every half hour.
Life has been very hectic for the three of us lately (Me and Lindsey and the baby in her belly). As most of you know I have started a new job. I am currently training to become the Plant Manager and later the CEO. Things are going suprisingly slow.
In case you missed the banner at the top of the page we are only 4.5 weeks away from the arrival of what could possibly be the most spoiled child ever. Lindsey had her shower a couple of weeks ago. We got a lot of awesome baby stuff. No one picked out the Playstation 3 games that Lindsey registered for?
Monday is Labor day. Odd way to salute all the pregnant women in America but whatever. I get the day off and it is an excuse to eat 10 pounds of grilled meat, which should happen during all holidays. Anyone interested in grilling a Yom Kippur brisket let me know.
Oh yeah.......WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG SOIEEEEEEEEEEEE

HEY YOU GUYS
I'm gonna turn it on. I'm gonna bring you the power. I'm gonna light up the dark of night like the brightest day in a whole new way. I'm gonna turn it on and bring you the power. It’s coming down the lines, strong as they can be. Through the courtesy of The Electric Company.
If you haven't noticed how much more efficient you're electricity is being produced you should take notes. I am officially a member of the energy producing conglomerate known as "Entergy." Please take this message as a friendly reminder to pay your bills on time. If by chance you haven't paid your bill yet this month I will personally bring my hot stick down and shut it off free of charge. Time is money. I can't be expected to keep the pace up with you slacking on your responsibilities....nay your duty as an American of paying your electric bill. Shame on you!!!
Tomorrow is the 4-D Ultrasound. I have never heard of 4-D. I knew there was 3-D movies such as Jaws and Moonwalker, so I took out my trusty dictionary and looked it up. The official definition for a 4-D Ultrasound is :"Another way to stick it to an unsuspecting ignorant expecting slack jawed yokel father." I didn't really know how to take this expression. Was this calling me a slack jawed yokel? How dare they. What if they are referring to the lovely and talented daughter? She isn't even born yet you bunch of jerks. Could they possibly be referring to my mother-in-law? Mr. Webster You Are A Rotten Son Of A....... actually that is pretty funny. Oh Mr. Webster you are quite the uproarious one.
Breaks over, back on your heads. (If you don't get it I will explain it to you later.)
