Christmas was spent at my parents house just like old times. We spent the day lounging, visiting with my grandparents, playing a mean round of dominoes and ending the evening with a fabulous meal my mom made. To top it off my brother and dad checked everyone's blood pressure before they left. Long story, short version we have recently had a few incidents with...
One word sums up this past weekend: Sore. I had my first full day back at Ultimate Frisbee, that means I spent four hours Saturday running around. It was fun being back and even better, we won both games, which is good for my competitive nature. Along with actually playing some decent soccer Sunday, it turned into a pretty nice little weekend. I can't say the...
Most of the blogs I read these days are similar in content: fashion, food and their lives. While I like these blogs because each adds its own flare they really are far from the life I am currently living. This is the first Friday where my weekend isn't jammed pack, so how do I spend this evening? I go to Walgreen's grab a pint of...
I am finally home for a month with no plans to travel and I couldn't be more excited. This means decorating for Christmas, spoiling my dog, and getting goodies to prepare for the new year. I already started by finding my planner for 2012 on Etsy. I am obsessed with office supplies and it makes me happy being organized and put together. My...
Chicago, you surprised me in both a good and bad way. I recently thought of where I would like to live in the near future and you were on my list. I was excited that work presented me with the opportunity to come and have a look around. For starters, I am not a huge fan of the cold weather. You shocked me by having...
Fall is my favorite season. I love the color, the clothes and the occasional glimpse of perfect fall days. This past weekend I got to celebrate my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, at my Aunt and Uncles house in Houston. Being around family is always fun, entertaining, and leaves you with a sore stomach from laughing so hard. I wish we had more holidays that called...
It's a weird experience returning to your old college town. Things have changed there are new restaurants, buildings, bars and a ton of young barley looking legal kids and yet it still feels the exact same as if you never left. I have to say flying back into Mississippi I was a bit nervous on how the whole weekend would go. It turned out...
I have decided to create a life for myself. If you don't understand that statement, no worries. Most people don't get my thought process so let me explain. I have a life. It is filled with a job, ultimate frisbee, soccer, traveling, a social life and a puppy. However, I want more. With that being said I have created a list of of things I would like to do, habits...
Lately my life has revolved around a sport that I have never really been fond of, baseball. I know it is one of Americas Great Pastimes but in all honesty there is hardly any physical contact, too much standing and in general really slow. However, my normal feelings toward baseball have changed recently. Reason number one, going to the actual game is surprisingly...
I have been active my entire life mostly participating in sports. It wasn't until after college though that I realized that going to the gym involved more than just throwing on a crappy t-shirt, shorts and running shoes. There was a certain kind of gym etiquette I now needed to learn. I had to carefully pick out something cute that said I am here to...
I am what you might call an avid traveler. My motto (that I inherited from my mother) is "Have Bags, Will Travel." I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel to many places starting when I was in the 8th grade. I have traveled across most of the U.S. and have been to Europe five times. I am always planning my next trip/adventure. Thus my...
After a long summer in Texas with no rain, October can't be more of a welcoming month. I spent much of this past weekend loving the rainy weather, cleaning the house and cooking. I love the way everything looks after it rains. So refreshing. Perfect kind of day to go through all of my old magazines. Can you say hello to no more...
I go to bed with this little bundle of love curled up next to me (with her current favorite toy). And I wake up to this face staring at me in the morning, waiting for me to get up and go. I love the weekend, especially with my pup Bijoux Beans. ...
