It’s hard being a writer at times like these, because there is so much tragedy, so much seriousness, and so much going through my mind. Yet my thoughts are not coherent enough to have anything helpful to add to any of it. And when I have nothing worth saying, I’ve found it’s better to say […]
50 Restaurants in Crappy Photos: Tampa Edition.
So I realize that this series is supposed to be strictly Birmingham restaurants. But I’m a rulebreaker, and we went to Tampa. Therefore, you get a Tampa edition. But really, this is just an excuse to tell you about the most curious restaurant experience we’ve ever had – you won’t want to miss restaurant # […]
Vacation, Greek-Style.
So. I could punish you with a “look at all of my sunset photos and toes in the sand and long walks on the beach” post. But you’ve seen those before, right? Instead, I’m going to introduce you to a little town called Tarpon Springs. It was one of the main reasons we chose Tampa […]
Random Notes, To You.
I often come upstairs after quiet time to find an impressive display of random notes, all addressed to me. Except for those times when they’re addressed to a character from The Jersey Shore, creating no small amount of confusion. Until I turn them around and realize that they were addressed to me all along. Consider […]
The Essential Alabama Beach Shopping List.
Last weekend, we took a quick trip down to the beach to visit Chris’ Aunt and Uncle, who happen to live in one of the most beautiful locations in our state. I relaxed and didn’t take too many photos – just a couple of the kids acting adorably endearing, doing vacationy things like drinking […]
Virginia, Unedited.
Last weekend, Chris and I flew to Virginia for a friend’s wedding. (Really, we flew to Virginia to have a date weekend away together, and thanked the friend profusely for providing us the excuse.) (No really. It was all for the friend. Not at all for us to stay in a beachfront hotel room and […]
Alabama Fashion Report: 2012.
You might have noticed that Alabama has won a lot of football games over the past few years. In fact, as of last Saturday night, they will, yet again, be in the National Championship. From what I’ve heard, there are some people, somewhere out there (cue Fievel), that do not like this development. Some people […]
Abrupt iPhone Subject Changes.
(There’s no segue between photos in my iPhone. So why should I provide them?) I was searching my Amazon app for Converse Sneakers for Ali. Inexplicably nestled within the dozens of various colored shoes was this beauty: The first thing that struck me was the price. $30+ for a silicone mould* of a baby? Secondly. […]
Can’t Buy Me Love.
My bank may put a freeze on my accounts for reposting this, but I just HAVE to. Because Chris got a personalized thank you note in the mail last week. From a female teller. Thanking him for his business. Fortunately for me, when I originally posted this, my commenters informed me of these elusive collectible […]
