1. Now that I’m back from my vacation, I’m ready for another. Hopefully we can take another mini-trip back to NOLA around Christmas. The hotels and streets are always so pretty when decorated for the holidays. 2. What happened to fall? Last week was wonderfully cool and crisp, but this week the humidity and 80-degree…

1. In 3 days, Mark and I will be NOLA-bound. I’m so excited! Friday night, we’re seeing Book of Mormon. Saturday is pretty much open for anything, and Sunday we’ll be in the Superdome watching the Saints (hopefully) beat the Bills. Can’t wait! 2. I am kind of sad to be missing the Bikram studio’s…
The Skinny: Why I Hate Clothing Sizes and the “Nothing” Ideal They Promote
Last month I read a brilliant post by Charlotte about women’s clothing—specifically the size zero—and the negativity resulting from trying to fit a certain size. I’ve long felt the same way she does, so I thought I’d share my two cents on the subject. I’ve always been a petite person (except maybe in kindergarten, where…

1. I’m super proud of the hubby. Last week he gave a guest lecture for an Intro to Sociology class at our beautiful alma mater, Spring Hill College. Sexy and smart—I’m a lucky lady! 2. If my grandfather (Papa) were still alive, today would be his 96th birthday. I truly hope I’ve inherited his good…

1. I pretty much broke my own rules for dealing with tropical weather this past weekend since TS/TD Karen ended up fizzling out. We had approximately 2 minutes of rain Saturday afternoon, so we went to lunch, the mall, and the movies to see Gravity. Although it did rain most of the day Sunday, it…

1. It’s October!!! The leaves are beginning to fall in our backyard (only they’re not pretty orange-hued leaves like in regions of the country where seasons actually exist), and I’m about to break out the boots regardless of it still being shorts and flip flops weather. 2. Per these 21 Signs Your Addiction to Good…

1. As of Sunday, it’s officially FALL!!! If I were creative enough, I would’ve posted a delicious autumn-inspired recipe, but I’m not, so I sipped a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and O’Fallen Pumpkin Beer instead. Welcome, fall. 🙂 2. Ok, Las Vegas’ Venetian and Paris I understand—and love—but entire communities copied from existing cities? This is so…

1. I think the world of True Blood really exists and I am part fae like Sookie Stackhouse (or, I am a vampire who’s drunk on fairy blood). I just can’t get enough sunshine lately! After I eat my lunch, I practically race to the gate so I can spend some time outside, and I…

1. You know you’re a grammar nerd when this Buzzfeed article makes your day. I especially love the “Comma Sutra.” 2. Those pesky love bugs have shown up in Alabama. Despite the fact that the front of my car will be covered in the less fortunate bugs, it’s good news—because AUTUMN is approaching!! 3. Speaking…

1. This article is pretty hilarious, mostly because until very recently, I didn’t even realize what twerking was. (I may still be in my 20s, but I clearly don’t get out much.) 2. The best way to get through a slow afternoon at work? Desk chair dance party to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack! 3. Apparently…
