"Southern Comfort" Inspiration from my heart to yours
"A Seasonal Job for My Seasonal Moments"
Hey folks! Thanks for dropping by my place today. The very first order
of business is a shout out to any Colts fans on the porch. Your team
played a fine game Sunday night. If you've been with ATS any time at all,
you know that we are serious Manning/Colts fans around this house. It
wasn't easy for us to cheer against one of our favorite teams, led by one
of our most loved quarterbacks. But, we did. :) And with that, I'm just going
to have to say, WHO DAT?! We dat, dat's who!
As crazy as it still seems these many hours later, our Saints are Super
Bowl champions! When we first learned that we were going to the big
game, I asked my favorite South Louisiana boy to write a column for All
Things Southern about what this season has meant to Saints' fans
everywhere. He graciously agreed and his words, sent to me bright and
early Monday morning, warmed my heart. I hope you'll enjoy today's
Southern Quote, penned by my son-in-law, Patrick Maher. But right now,
we need to kick this visit off, (no pun intended), so come on, let's
chat…~smile
Lookahere, we just thought Motel Six was doing everybody a big favor
leaving the light on. That was nothing. Holiday Inn is bringing it with their
new ad campaign. They’re offering a human bed-warming service at
some of their exclusive European hotels. For a limited time you can
have a willing staffer dressed in an all in one fleece sleeper warm up
those cold sheets for you. Yes, you can.
A spokesperson said it’ll be like having a giant hot water bottle in
your bed, which begs the question of why they didn’t just do that and
the answer is ‘cause people like me wouldn’t give ‘em free publicity,
but I know they’re using me, so it doesn’t count.
Rules are the thermometer toting bed warmer will leave the room soon
as the sheets reach 68 degrees and before the guest arrives. No hanky-
panky here. At this point, there are almost too many ways I could
go with this.
For instance, Holiday Inn is flaunting the approval of a sleep expert
who confirms that cold weather inhibits the body’s ability to fall asleep.
Well, no duh, so does hot flashes. I speak from experience. Perhaps
yours truly should fill out a job app with Holiday Inn! Fellow author
River Jordan and I are embarking on a Great Southern Wing and a
Prayer Tour in a few weeks, this could be a great opportunity to
offset our travel expenses and Beloved Hubby says I can use him
for a reference as to the intensity of my seasonal moments. Of course,
this strikes me as a temporary job. I don’t see a lot of job security
here, which reminds me of a story.
I know a man, name withheld, who as a kid, used to get out of his
bed when nature called and warm up his brother’s bunk in the middle
of the night. When Older Brother discovered that he didn’t actually
have a going problem, so to speak, Younger Brother was slap
out of business!
Y'all have a great day, I'll leave y'all with this closing video of a special
news alert from All Things Southern, just in case you haven't seen
it.
Hugs,
Shellie
