Today was the day to get Ali’s two year portraits. I was running early, luckily, because when I got in the car it was completely dead. Again. Now, if you remember the last time that my car battery died, my Mom came and saved the day with a nifty charger thingy that you just plug […]
A Visit to Ye Olde Alma Mater. . . and other adventures along the way.
I went to Gina’s graduation at UAB today. Parking was nuts – I had to park several blocks away. But, had I not, I would have never known that Snoop Dogg (sp?) Had a family member graduating from UAB! I walked in with him and his family:I wish I had a better picture so that […]
Not-So-Hotlanta
Before I get to today’s Christmas shopping extravaganza, I decided to share a few pictures from our event Dinner at Taverna Plaka last night. If you haven’t read my post about our first trip to this restaurant, you may want to start there to help you with necessary Greek History, like the meaning of the […]
Oh Yes We Did. . .

The Reason I’m a City Girl.
While I was growing up, Mom and Dad’s dream was to live in the country. I was always a bit trepidatious about this dream. After all, there are no malls in the country. And it takes too long to get places. And I like going places. Quickly. I am quite happy that they have achieved […]
. . . and the crazies descended upon Atlanta.
No, no no. I’m not talking about these crazies:I will talk about the football game in my next post. No, there were other crazies in Atlanta this weekend. Crazies that made all of the tailgating, facepainted, Bear Bryant and Denny Chimes Tattooed, Toilet Paper/Tide Box wearing, Screaming and high-fiving total stranger-Alabama fans look like boring […]
A Taste of Greek Culture Adventure
So we’re in Atlanta for a Date weekend / First football game of the season. The game is tonight at 8pm. We got here yesterday around 5pm, and so the main date part of our trip was to be dinner last night. Since we were coming for football, Chris elected me to pick out where […]
