Friday Five



one...Today marks the 50th anniversary since President John F. Kennedy was shot. My mom was in love with that man and said that she cried and cried when she found out about it. One thing you may not know about me is I love conspiracy theories, urban legends, old wives tales, all that jazz...

There are so many conspiracy theories that not only surround JFKs murder, but JFK in general. Example: the tunnels built underneath the White House so he could sneak in Marilyn Monroe, is it true? Who really did kill Kennedy? I could go on and on all day about this stuff, I'm telling you I love this shit, alas, here are 5 FACTS that you might not know about President Kennedy's assassination.

1 - Lee Harvey Oswald was not arrested for killing JFK, he did not get arrested until 45 minutes later for killing a police officer. Obviously he denied both murders, and then got shot himself 2 days later.

2 - In 1963 killing the President was not a federal crime, it did not become a federal crime until 1965.

3 -  The JFK assassination was the longest uninterrupted news event on television until the coverage of the September 11 attacks in 2001. Basically this was the story, obviously, so every single radio and TV station did nothing but broadcast this, which means those Real Housewives would not have been airing, now that is scary!

4 - Federal Judge, Sara Hughes administered the oath to President Lyndon B. Johnson, swearing him in as President in Air Force One, the only woman to ever swear in a President, still to this day.

5 - Eight months prior to killing JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald tried to kill an outspoken, resigned, army general that was a huge JFK critic. Oswald did not succeed in killing him, but I find it suspicious that he was going to kill someone who was against JFK, just to kill JFK himself...weird!

two...Olly, our elf, arrives the Friday after Thanksgiving. This has become a huge thing for our family, because not only does Cadence enjoy it, but so do the husband and I. We will both take turns hiding him that way it's a surprise for us as well. This was an idea I came up with last year and by far my most favorite thus far.

three...I think these nails are just about as precious as they come for the Christmas holiday!

I have so many pictures pinned to my mani/pedi board, do you follow me, if not start, I love me some Pinterest - click!

four...I have a love/hate relationship with candy crush. I used to play it all the time, then got bored with it, now am back to playing it again and have been stuck on level 181 for days. Why do I torture myself with this crap?

five...I am so happy that today is Friday, but I cannot lie, I will be happy to see next week get here to start off the Thanksgiving festivities! My aunt is coming up from Florida along with her sons, my cousins who I haven't seen in years.

Have a great weekend everyone!
