Fun Fact Friday: How to look cool in an instant

Hello fellow 40 somethings that want to seem cool.

Meet Instagram.

I have to say I am a huge fan of instagram.

 

I have been able to "artify" myself, my kids, my dogs and my husband just with a few swipes of my finger via Instagram. In my pathetic attempt to seem interesting and arty, I have edited hundreds of photos.   None of them award winning. Usually I am bored. 

 

But of all the aps on my phone, this is the one I love the most. Genius and apparently worth a cool billion dollars. That's right...BILLION. 

Started by two guys with a little start up money, Instagram was bought by Facebook for $1,000,000,000 and the deal was finalized on the national holiday know as My Birthday.

Taken on the other national holiday my family celebrates...my daughter's birthday.

So, next time you are arting up a photo of your dinner, your dog or your mom, remember.. you are using a billion dollar ap. Use it wisely.

Fun Fact Friday: Original Gator Hater

It's football time in...

Tennessee!

And house divided time at my house.

This weekend Tennessee plays Florida. 

And my husband attended the University of Florida.

Don't hold it against him, he was actually born in Knoxville. Although his grandfather was famous for saying that his mother "Took a perfectly good boy to Florida and ruined him."

So this weekend, we are rooting against each other.

So... my Friday Fun Fact this week is about....

Florida and their "Chomp" !

Their special hand gesture is a fairly new one, compared to the Gig Em. In fact it dates only back to 1981. The chomp is one arm over the other to represent a gator's mouth. This is accompanied by the lovely chant "Gator Bait". Orignial, I know.

 

However, as someone who has lived with a "gator" for 17 years, I have to say that chomp is painful. Especially when this guy was quarterback...

This year, however, I will not hear too much, as the Gators are not looking to great and almost lost to Texas A&M last week.

So, Honey, I hope you have fun talking trash and getting yourself all worked up because the only thing getting "chomped "  is you.

Go VOLS!
