About Last Weekend: Girlfriends Are Forever (Lots Of Pictures!)

About Last Weekend: Girlfriends Are Forever (Lots Of Pictures!)

This past weekend, I finally got to hang out with my girls. You may disagree with me, but I believe that having good friends is essential. We had been talking about hanging out for like over a year, but we finally got around and did it. Before we hung out, our friend, Tim fell ill and that scared the pants off of us. I don't have the words to say how happy I was to be sitting across from Tim. Our date was set for 7pm. We were supposed to get dinner at TGIF and then go watch 'This Is Where Read More

George Clooney And Amal Alamuddin Need A Lesson On Weddings

George Clooney And Amal Alamuddin Need A Lesson On Weddings

It's been called the "wedding of the year" for good reason. The most eligible bachelor - who has also openly stated that he doesn't ever want to be married - actually met a woman that he couldn't leave. Their wedding was in Venice this past weekend with about 90 guests. Amal looked absolutely beautiful in all her dresses (perhaps a separate post about her outfits), and George Clooney wore custon Georgia Armani. Yes, he looked good, but it was all about the bride.   That being Read More

20 Random Facts About Me (Tagged By Sisi Yemmie)

Darling Sisi Yemmie did the 20 random facts about me tag and she tagged me. Who am I to not deliver? I've done tags before, but it's been so long since I last did one. Sisi Yemmie, thank you for the tag, and whatever I write here, know that you asked for it. 1.  I've been keeping a big secret from you, Sweet Potatoes. But I have decided that I will tell it before the end of the year. I'm tired of keeping it. No, I will not give hints! 2.  I'm an undercover rebel. Sometimes, my only Read More

iCook: Pasta With Johnsonville Smoked Brats (Fall Comfort Food)

iCook: Pasta With Johnsonville Smoked Brats (Fall Comfort Food)

What kind of food do you think of when you hear fall comfort food? I think of cheese, soup, tomatoes, maybe bread, but all definitely warm. Or hot. I blogged about using Johnsonville sausages before, but in that post, I cook some [fried] stew with sausages, instead of the more traditional goat meat, beef, or chicken. And in that post, I used the Andouille sausage instead. Well, it's a new day, and fall is a-coming. My original thought was to cook some hearty vegetable soup and switch out the Read More

It’s Friday, But Thank Goodness It’s Thursday!

Did you watch television yesterday? No, really, did you??? Specifically, did you watch abc at 9:00 PM --- or 8:00 PM, if you're about that life? Yesterday was fire on abc. It started with Grey's Anatomy at 8:00 PM. I can't tell you how great the show is because I don't follow it. I know it's great, and I know the general story line, but I have missed so much of it that I don't know how to start it now. But at 9:00 PM, my BFF Kerry Washington came back as Olivia Pope on Scandal. I'm Read More
