Geaux!

December 4, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good morning! It’s a good day to be an LSU Tiger! The first half may not have been pretty, but we did it, and are SEC champions! Next stop, BCS championship game. I almost had a heart attack during half time, but they didn’t let me down in the second half. I proudly sported my LSU shirt today at Bobby’s cheer competition. Oh yes, you read that right. I hobbled around with my boot at a cheerleading competition. Lots of little girls and lots of makeup and hair bows!

Not only does Bobby coach tumbling and partner stunting, but he competes on their open squad (coed any age) and they performed today at a competition in town for fun as an exhibition team. They did really really well for hardly ever practicing. Ha! Bobby can do a lot cooler of stunts than some of the ones he did here, but this is just a taste of his capability. He’s really really good!

Bobby is 2nd guy from the right (I zoom in on him in the beginning and several times during the competition while he is doing stunts)

For those that don’t know, Bobby was supposed to play football in college, but after football season his senior year of high school he had to have major stomach surgery and was told he couldn’t play anymore (being hit in the stomach would not be good.) He had some friends who did cheer and we ended up being a natural, and he competed for 5 years in college and coached (and still currently does) for many many years. He’s not the best tumbler, but he is great at partner stunting.

He even got a trophy. Weeeeee!

Sadly, I don’t have a flexible bone in my body, and was taller than the girls he puts up when I was in 5th grade so sadly for my future offspring, cheering is probably NOT in their future. Hopefully they will be all over volleyball and basketball though.

QOTD: Did you play sports in high school or college? Which ones?

**Send me a picture of your outdoor Christmas lights and I will post it closer to Christmas!

    The video was fun to see, so thanks for posting! I never did cheerleading, but I did dance for many years.

    So, who would you prefer to meet in the BCS championship game? What do you think is the right thing to do?

      tough question. I hate the way the BCS does bowl games! I think it should be done more like the NFL playoffs.
      Part of me thinks we should play bama, and part of me thinks wait, we already BEAT them, why should we have to play them again? It’s tough!

    Oh my gosh I loooove that type of cheer stuff! I used to watch the cheer competitions on ESPN all the time in HS! Sadly, I do not have a tumbling bone in my body. If only you could get by with enthusiasm!

      oh I don’t either. I can’t even go a cartwheel. I find it fascinating. You should see some of the stuff he can do with a really good stunt partner. This is nothing compared to it! He actually did a video of nationals for ESPN in college but got hurt right before they filmed (shoulder) so they had to change the routine to make it easier and STILL got 27th (top 25 go to nationals) I so wish he wouldnt have gotten hurt b/c I know they would have made it to nationals!

    I will vouch that Bobby is a great stunt partner. And watching that video made me miss stunting, ha! Unfortunately, while I can tumble, I was never great at it, so it kept me from most of the cheer squads (thankfully not in college…and Bobby is actually one of the ones who taught me to stunt, ha!). I would love to do a co-ed squad now just so I could continue to stunt, but again, most want girls who can tumble, and since I haven’t even attempted to tumble in over 5 years, I doubt I could do much of any tumbling now without breaking my neck, lol.

      haha so glad to have someone else who can vouch for his abilities. Some people think it’s silly or “gay” what he can do, but they just have no idea how difficult it is to hold one or even two in his case people in the air like that! Lots of strength, lots of practice.
      You could be on an open squad! If you were here you could totally be on this squad. Bobby doesn’t tumble anymore (for performances)

    Oh my gosh, that is crazy how high he’s throwing those girls up in the air! I feel like that should shatter his arms on the way down (not that the girls are big but jeez they’re falling from pretty high up!). I know a handful of guys who cheered on college teams and they’re the strongest dudes. And I bet the girls they’re throwing around are thankful for that!!

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say. 

Have you ever had an MRI? Do you suffer from hearing loss? 👂

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
