Things That Will Happen in Alabama Over Christmas. Get Ready.

Temperatures dipped briefly below sixty degrees today. What did I do in celebration? Over-committed to thick wool sweater and started making plans. Quick sidebar: The cashier at Central Market this evening asked me if I was enjoying this cool weather and I promptly confessed my sweater-related mistake. She said that she’d done much, much worse […]

Guest Food Blogger: My Husband (kind of)

The only people that will find this post remotely entertaining are people that know me (and my husband) personally. I get it – limited appeal. But this cracked me up. Dinner this evening was gross. Just disgusting. Long story short, we uncovered some old Lean Cuisines in the freezer and decided to give them a […]

Sometimes I lip-sync on the treadmill. Is that bad?

Some days I can’t wait to get to the gym. Others, not so much. Today wasn’t too bad, but I was so glad to have a playlist full of upbeat music to get me really going. Here are some of my favorites these days – let me know what you think! No Excuse November Cardio […]

Internet Overload

{Image Source} Between work, home, and my iPhone in between, I spend a lot of time on the internet. Too much. But I love it. It’s entertaining and useful. And a little bit dangerous.

No Excuse November

Wow. In some ways I cannot believe it’s already NOVEMBER. In other ways, I can totally believe it. 2012 has been overwhelming in the most wonderful and most stressful ways.

The River Market in Tuscaloosa

Say hello to one of my very good reasons for lack of posts recently – my super-cute nephew Campbell. He’s a teething, drooling machine, but with those sweet cheeks and blue eyes, who could possibly mind the slobber? Here is Camp with my Daddy (his Pop) at The River Market in Tuscaloosa last weekend. I’m […]

Links: They’re Old, but Still Worth Reading

This post has been sitting – unfinished – for more than a week. And it’s not an earth-shattering piece on anything important. It’s Links. Quite possibly the easiest type of post to write. But we’ve been a bit distracted. This guy – Gussie – the love of my life (don’t worry, my husband is a […]
