Bachelorettes & Blind Bears

Well, I am barely recovered from the last three days!  My weekend took off early on Friday with my sister's bachelorette party (the wedding is in 12 days!!!!) and we had such a blast. I planned the whole she-bang and I was super thrilled that it went so well! We had a Great Gatsby theme where everyone dressed up and it was so fabulous. The night started with a wine tasting led by one of my friends, followed by a lingerie shower, then to a fabulous restaurant in Memphis called the Majestic Grille.  Then we rented the room behind the bar at the Bind Bear, our local speakeasy, for cocktails and dancing.  If you're not familiar, it is a room with a two way mirror behind the bar so you can see everything that is going on in the bar from your own private room! SO FUN!

Cheers! I hope you had great weekends of your own, little chickens! See you soon :)

Princesses & Birthdays

"Are you a princess?" I said, and she said, "I am much more than a princess, but you do not have a word for it here yet on earth." -Brian Andreas

Somebody's 23!!!!! (and yes, that is a Travis Tritt birthday cake.  She was a unique child.) HAPPY birthday little baby princess. I can't believe the little sister is going to be 23, that means I am getting old! But really. Sarah I am so proud of the beautiful, brunette little lady you have become. You make me happy because you are always yourself, and you are not afraid to speak your mind. You love people for who they are, and you want the best for them.  You are caring and sweet and you love my little black dog alllllmost as much as I do.  Once upon a time, you were drawing pictures of  the both of us on your self portraits, and jumping naked on the trampoline as a toddler....  and now you are getting married this summer!  You are silly in the best of ways and I love being your sister.  I hope you have the merriest day ever.  I love you more than meat loves salt.

What day is it? Who... am I?

If you read the title in your best Zoolander voice, it is way way funny. Right? Right.  

Truth be told, I have spent the last 48 hours highly caffeinated, super tired, and deliriously happy. Lack of sleep due to good news and exciting plans! My little baby sister (Sarah) is engaged to be married! I am so excited for her and her future husband and their sweet future together. He's lucky we love him, too! (hey, Rob!)

Today, my alma mater, THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS, plays St. Mary's at like 1:45pm! I forget how cray cray March madness can be! The whole town is cooking up excuses to leave work early as we speak. #gotigersgo

Despite my own personal wishes, I left the house this morning without my tiger blue. I guess I'm distracted by the fact that its supposed to get FREEZING tonight with a chance of snow.
