I had a friend in town from Atlanta this weekend (Hey Alli!) and I had the best time ever showing her some new Memphis places that have popped up since she moved.  We went to great restaurants, hit up the new candy shoppe, and more importantly had amazing Bloody Marys.  Girl's weekends are THE best! And I am so sad that it is over now!  I hope all of my little chickens had the best weekend ever, and I hope you'll come back tomorrow and check out the AMAZING new giveaway I will have running!  Make the most out of this Monday!

Birthday Weekend!

Yes, indeed, my little chickens! The merrymaker turns 25 years of age this weekend.  Sunday, to be exact.  // Cue Dies Irae \\ Here's a quick throwback to the last monumental four birthdays of my twenties.

A quarter of a century of laughter, friends, family, and fun.  Four (legal) years of margarita consumption and over a million karaoke songs under my belt.  Sure... not all of 20's life goals have been crossed off my inner to-do list, but I have had way more fun than I deserve.  The past year had brought on a mountain-load of hard times and losses, but every day was made easier by the amazing support system I have in my life.  So, have a margarita in my honor this weekend and turn up some country music really loud... call a friend and tell them you love them. And hey, I think we can all agree that a new driver's license picture was the best birthday gift I could possibly receive.
