Pick Me Ups
If you ask Blake or my friends and family, they will tell you that I am no stranger to treating myself. I’ll often tell Blake that I did this or ate that as a “treat” for certain mundane, day to day tasks. Just yesterday I ordered this tiny, simple gold ring and snagged the new Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti due to my love of coral lipsticks (though I’m now...

Valentine's Gifts That Everyone Will Love
Blake sent me some links to gifts he had considered for me earlier this morning. I couldn’t not share these gems with you.
First up, we have the Slice of Pizza Sleeping Bag with Optional Toppings. A steal at just $250, I can think of so many places and occasions this would come in useful! Toppings are just $20 a piece, and the shipping is the low, low price of $70.

You like what I did there? You can thank The Knot for that bit of cleverness. So, we may not have a venue yet (hopefully soon!) or a date locked down (but hoping for March 23, 2013) but of COURSE I’m already wanting to think about wedding websites and invitations. I ordered some samples of save the dates (which I abbreviated as STD yesterday on Pinterest on accident, to the amusement of...

Monday Check-In
Obsessing Over: finding a wedding venue - apparently you can’t wait very long on this one task. i visited a location on friday that i loved, and blake has loved pictures of, so the next step is to take my mom and sister and him to visit it! i’ve done a lot of internet stalking of other venues, but any that i’ve found somewhat interesting are either so crazy expensive or just not...

I always find y’all’s “what I’m cooking this week” posts so interesting — and I have discovered a lot of tasty recipes that way too. So I figured I’d try joining in and share what we’re cooking up this week!

Reblogging to remember that I must make that buttermilk roasted chicken ASAP.

As you can imagine, anything football-related in Alabama is a huge deal, so everyone is all jacked up today for National Signing Day. Alabama is cleaning up, as expected, so huzzah to that. The most important thing I’ve gotten from today, though, has been this gif that a friend used in response to an Auburn fan tweeting at them about something all butthurt.
Thank you, Courtney Upshaw.

Dear friends,
I feel slightly uncouth doing this for reasons I can’t explain, but I’m going to do it anyway, as a thank you to you all and also as a shameless promotional tool for the book. W.W. Norton thanks you for understanding.
I’d like to give away two signed copies of

Goal Adjustments
After being sick much of the beginning of last week with a horrible cough, I’m having to adjust the timeline for this goal of mine. I’m now gonna shoot for four work outs each week from 1/29/12 - 3/3/12. That’s a total of 20 workouts. I figured for such a large purchase, I might need to increase the number of workouts needed to earn it. Still shooting for 1 liter of water per day...

DC Folks!
Brooke and I truly do want to run a half marathon this year. Unfortunately, things just came up and we can no longer run our second choice spring half marathon. There just aren’t a lot of marathon and half marathons going on in the South this spring that we have time to train for, so we’re thinking we may need to move this dream to the fall.
With that said, we also REALLY want to come...
answers needed to burning questions.
Those of you who have experience with a personal trainer, what are your thoughts on them? I don’t have a ton of cashish to throw around, but I was thinking about going a few times to get some direction on my workout plan. Half hour sessions? Full hour sessions? 4 times? More times?
When should you start using eye creams? When you’re 12? When you’re 42? If you use them, what do...
Tuesday
I am in a chipper mood today, and that doesn’t always happen on a Tuesday, so I’ll take it!
Possible reasons why:
I was up all night for the second night in a row coughing (which would make any day rough) and felt like crap this morning because of it, so I took a half day and slept in a bit. I feel 1,000% better and refreshed. Also, the work day is flying by.
After sleeping in, I...
