How we rednecks celebrate and a prize too!

We treat our guests with the utmost of class. See? A king bed on one side, a queen bed on the other side and seating in the middle that reminds me of all the fineness of a waffle house booth. Hook this bad boy up to a series of extension cords plugged into the house and you have air conditioning.

Seriously, the Motel 6 ain't got nothing on us. Except free soaps. I don't give away my soaps.

Here is the star of the hour... Jackson, our son, our graduate. The principal clearly instructed all family members to be respectful of the dignity of the day's ceremony when our graduate's name was called.

In other words, we were supposed to use our inside voice.

That is very hard to do when all manner of hoopin' and hollerin' just come out when we rednecks get excited. You know it's bad when the people sitting in front of you cover their ears and give you the sideways look.

Nothing speaks of disapproval more than the sideways look.

With all due respect, we couldn't help ourselves.

If the size of this banner meant for the side of a stadium doesn't get you, the duct tape used to hang this bad boy should.

There's no better place to connect with your cousins than the back of a pick up truck. In ten years they will loathe this picture. I love it and always will.

Nonnie won this game of "horse." Come on guys... Nonnie beat you?

We rednecks like to eat. But y'all will be so proud, I didn't stray from my healthy eating plan. I got all distracted using some stuff DaySpring sent me to try and dress up my little party.

You know it's bad when the Internet world sees a need to help a girl out.

But this new line they have is seriously some of the cutest stuff you ever did see. And I have some to give away!

All you have to do is click here to go look at DaySpring's new "Life to the Full" line of cute kitchen stuff and come back here and tell me in the comments below of all the great stuff in this line, what are your favorite items?

I'll pick from the comments and announce the winner this Friday. I'll also be announcing the winner of last week's contest this Friday as well.

Now, one last detail...

The Redneck Surprise Dessert-

I know you aren't going to believe me, but try it and see. You will be the talk of the next party you attend if you bring this! And the great thing is you don't have to cook a thing to make it. Those of you joining me on the healthy eating adventure- this is key. Smells can get a girl into trouble you know.

So.

Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 dish with regular ice cream sandwiches. Cover them with a generous layer of Cool Whip. Crush up Heath Bars and sprinkle over the top. Listen to people oooh and awwww over this most impressive dish.

And remember to put it back in the freezer when you're done serving it. Trust me on this.

Otherwise you will totally gag when you realize you have to touch a dish someone else has attempted to lick clean.

That's low even for a redneck y'all. That's just plain tacky.
