If you wouldn’t mind, for me, take a moment (right now) to remember the last time you bought a mattress. Think back to the poorly-lit showroom; where you flopped your way across a lumpy, rectangular sea trying to gauge and project your ability to spend the next… Continue Reading
This playlist was compiled from songs that found their way into our summer; a fun reminder of a sunnier time as we get ready to Fall Back. A fun note: in their unending search for the perfect music hosting platform, Coralie… Continue Reading
As the adorable ‘back to-school’ pictures of my friend’s and family’s “chillren” scroll through my social media feed, it seems fitting that today is the day we return to regularly scheduled blog programming. Although I valiantly posted up until the middle of June, Coralie and… Continue Reading
I have a list of things I want to say about the ruling that the Supreme Court of the United States handed down Friday. (Are you shocked that I have something I want to say?) And to be clear, I… Continue Reading
Well, this week- The. Struggle. Is. Real. Yes, I know it is a kitschy hashtag but it probably is so popular because so many people identify with it. I mean, who has never felt the struggle? This week, I have… Continue Reading
Who am I kidding? For as long as I live, there will always be jive in my life– in all of its forms. Today is my 35th birthday. Some years go flying past without much to note. This was not… Continue Reading
I would like to offer a million apologies to our readers and to Coralie. I have been M.I.A. for the last two weeks: no posts, no #waybackwwednesday, no nuffin’. There is just something about being back in Georgia that makes a… Continue Reading
With as avid a reader as I am (and I know Coralie is too), I am surprised that book reviews don’t get a lot of play on the website. Which is why, going back and polishing/editing my book review posts… Continue Reading
Let me describe the way I am picking old posts to update- I am going back to the very first ones and just clicking on one. And that becomes my update candidate. I had forgotten about this post and my… Continue Reading
Y’all. I love people watching. I love watching people interact with not only other people but their environment. And- as a bartender I have an excellent job to people watch. Without a doubt, alcohol lowers inhibition so from my position… Continue Reading
Every four minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every. Four. Minutes. As many of you know, my brother (Russell) was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia this past September. He has valiantly completed the eight, five-day, hospitalized chemotherapy treatments that were the prescribed course for his treatment. Due to… Continue Reading
You know those weeks when you are so damn productive you can’t even believe it yourself? Like your home is clean and tidy, the dishes never pile up, not only are your clothes clean- they are put away. You somehow… Continue Reading
I’ve mentioned before my complex relationship with my hair. It has only been within the last several years that I have really developed an understanding and positive relationship with it. I attribute my hair-acceptance to three things: the internet, flat-iron… Continue Reading
I want to share with you a conversation I had with my BFF about a week ago- the topic of conversation was the cover of the new Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Have you seen it? Hannah Davis is a… Continue Reading
Many a Fun Foto Friday ago, I jokingly posted something close to the following: Because I am a top-notch blogalist, I provided zero scientific fact regarding why some ketchups are “fancy” and went right for the joke. Classic… Continue Reading
You didn’t think I would stop doing Fun Foto Fridays even though I’m now a Monday poster, did you? Surely, not. And don’t call me, Shirley. Sorry for the lateness of this post, but I fly back out to Georgia tomorrow… Continue Reading
Back in the early archives of Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting, you will find a post Coralie (my co-blogger) wrote titled, “Pack Your Bags! What to Take to the Hospital.” In the post, you will find a list of practical… Continue Reading
35. Wow. If you are 5+ years younger than me I imagine you are thinking something along the lines of 35- distant future. And if you are 10+ years older than me I imagine you are thinking something along the… Continue Reading
If our publishing schedule is something you follow, you may have noticed that last Thursday came and went without a post from yours truly. It is with a sad but hopeful heart that I share with you that my sweet,… Continue Reading
Hope you like bug carcasses… cause today’s post has got ’em! Apologies in advance. Do you know what is amazing? Fruit. I know that’s kind of a ‘duh’ sentiment, but think about the myriad of varietals out there. As someone… Continue Reading
