How will I spend my Saturday?

.....with Barbarito (aka my mama) participating in OPERATION GARAGE SALE!  

Here's hoping I clear a clean 1.6 million in cash tomorrow!!

Dr. Anastasia Beaverhausen

How do I love Helen Wise?  Let me count the ways.

#1.  She takes me on impromptu trips to Sam's and has been known to buy me socks...in bulk.

#2  She's never met a mimosa she didn't love.

#3  She's uber crafty and can work her way around the Michael's dollar bins like nothing I've ever seen.  It's quite impressive.

#4  She is the most super fly, fantastical, mother to the cutest kid this side of the Mississippi. (and manages to be an equally super fly, fantastical friend all at the same time!)

#5  She believes in the power of the JESUS TACO as much as I do and even had a commemorative plate made, complete with a gold rim and stand.

#6  She + my brother + the fabric store = more fun than I can even begin to describe.

#7  She is incredibly kind and generous, so much so, she set up a field trip for my students to visit LSUS and participate in the ropes course and took the time to talk with them about college and what being a professor is like.  And, if that weren't enough, the lady got them food too! What a woman!

#8  She's a Starbucks gold card member.  No lie. 

#9  She lets me play with her kid and spoil her...just a little bit!

#10  She participates in my randomly themed brunches and doesn't complain.

Where have you been my whole life, Helen??  You are the shiz times a trillion!!
