If it ain't monogrammed it ain't mine.

I am a firm believer that monogramming makes everything better. 

Since I got my new Silhouette Cameo I have been looking to try different things with vinyl.  I have purchased vinyl decals from Etsy before and just love them. 

I thought I would try some of my own. 
This did not end up being as easy as I thought.  The scripted monograms are easier to find fonts for but I ended up spending TWO hours Friday night in search of a circle monogram font.

 
This is the font I am looking for.  The only place I can find it is through Fontbros. Lets just say they are really proud of their fonts and there is no way I am paying $99 for a freaking font. 

I am also looking for a font like this. 

If anyone knows where I can find this font that is not ridiculously priced please let me know.  I searched Etsy as well and all the fonts I came across only work with embroidery machines.
Girl just wants to make some decals!

Thanks y'all!

It's a Family Tradition....

Y'all should all go check out these new blogger's blogs!

My baby cousin Aubrey Jo has joined the blogging world and my sister (remember G?) decided to have me set her up since I kinda booted her off mine.  What?! Girl wasn't pulling her weight.

Don't act like you don't remember what it was like when only your Mama and dog were following you and reading your shit.

Anyway they are both brand new so they have only been blogging for like a day, but go show them some love and give them any tips you might have. :)

These are my confessions....


                       
Linking up today for Confessional Friday!

 
 Did Usher's Confessions song pop into anyone else's head just now? 
 I confess....
I can't wait  for the four day weekend just so I can stay at home and play with my new sewing machine and Silhouette Cameo. Yeah I'm getting old.

I might go shopping after work for a cute NYE outfit that I know I won't end up wearing long because lets be honest we all know I am going to end up in leggings and an over sized tee by midnight. 

I figured out that I can do pretty much the same design stuff on picmonkey and Pixlr as I can on CS5. The difference picmonkey and pixlr are free and CS5 was a couple hundred bucks....don't tell Mama C because I just had to had CS5 last year because there was no other software I could design with. oops.

I'm so over 2012.  I will probably file this year as the lost year in my life book that I don't have.  Nothing super great happened and I was super antisocial.  #postgradproblems

I wish we would get snowed in next week so I can have an excuse for being antisocial and lazy and not have to go to work.

I FINALLY watched the last episode of Gossip Girl last night and think it was the best episode ever and kept rewinding back to a certain part to watch it over and over. I don't want to give anything away...

The Hangover.


1. Christmas Hangover The day after Christmas, December 26th when you wake up realizing all the fun is over and you have to wait another 365 days until Christmas. Man Wakes up. "Oh Come on 364 more days till Christmas. I have a serious Christmas Hangover." Provided by Urban Dictionary 

I still have that Christmas hangover. I didn't even drink, but I find the day week after Christmas depressing. This year was my first year to have a job to go to the day after Christmas. womp womp. I know I am thankful to have a job at all, but if you have had to work the day after I'm sure you contemplated quitting when that alarm went off at 6 a.m. as well. 

I really enjoy just eating and laying around watching Gossip Girl, but some find this unacceptable for a college graduate to do on the daily. Maybe someday. 

 I must say I don't hate this four day weekend business though. This should happen more often. 

 I've got nothing to entertain you with today kids, but I will be posting a tutorial soon! I finally got a Silhouette Cameo and learned last night how to cut vinyl. Exciting stuff.

You surprised to see us, Clark?


Since everyone seems to be sharing their Christmas cards today I might as well share mine.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! From the Boyfrand and I.

Yes, I said Christmas because that is what we celebrate around these here parts.

I should upload this to Instagram, I just know they would want to sell this.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I know I will enjoy my four day weekend.

I plan to spend it sleeping, watching Christmas Vacation as many times as possible and stuffing my face.

Yeah its ok.





It's been awhile since I have linked up for Its Ok Thursday so what better time than the present.
           Its Ok Thursdays       
                                 
           Its OK...
That Blogger is driving me crazy.  Lately when I go to write a post the format is all janky. 
                            
That I am so sick of hearing about zombies. dumb. just STOP.

That I have thought each day this week was Friday at some point.  That is 4 days of disappointment.

That everything I fall in love with is outrageously expensive.  Help me I'm poor.

That I think you shouldn't have to wait days or weeks to find out about an interview.  Either you want to hire me or you don't, you should just know the answer is you do.

That I still have many Christmas presents to buy, yet everywhere I go I just more gifts for baby girl.

That my blogging sucks big time lately or ever.

Eenie Meenie Minie Moe....

I'm indecisive.  As much as I love choices I hate deciding at the same time.  My current debate is I am needing a new laptop.  I have always owned Dell computers,  I have used Macs some throughout school and work and liked them, but I haven't owned one.  I need some opinions.  PC vs. Mac? Obviously Apple is more expensive, but if it is worth it I don't mind paying the extra.  Also if I were to go with a Mac do you suggest Apple care or not?

Another opinion needed...
What does everyone think about Google+ ?  Blogger is always suggesting it, but I honestly have no idea how it works or what to do ect.  If anyone uses it and likes it or can tell me what to do let me know. :)

To keep forever sacred the memory of those we have loved and lost.





                                                                 
  I'm not one to be silent often, I usually deal with difficult things through humor, but in this case I find no humor. I feel it is important to remember those you have loved and lost and keep their memory alive, since I don't know any of the victims personally I have no stories to share and I'm not sure of a way to do this other than through silence. I can't even begin to fathom what the people in Newtown are going through.  No one should have to.  If you have uplifting words to post I'm sure plenty would love to read them.

Look what I made!

 Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.
Today I am linking up with Keep Calm & Carry  On for Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.

I am a Pinterest addict and I have tried many of the things I have pinned, but today I am showing the easiest project I have done so far and I actually did it a few nights ago.  

I chose to make a Christmas tree onesie for Baby Girl.  This took me about 5 mins to make.  I just used what I had in my craft supplies.  I knew being a craft hoarder would pay off sometime.
*Warning I am not good with instructions.

What you will need:
Scissors
Ribbon
Fabric or hot glue
Onesie or Tshirt


You will want this on a flat surface to make sure the ribbon is centered.  I craft in the floor a lot so my study board my little made me comes in handy.

First just cut however many pieces of ribbon you want for your tree I did 10 pieces.  Just cut them all the same size, fold them over and glue the ends together.



You are going to line them up in a pyramid, you know like the shape of a tree and glue them down.

Last add a little bow or star to the top and a tree stump and you are done!  I am thinking about going back and adding some rhinestones for ornaments.
   Easy Peasy.

I found you Christmas.

Set your worries aside friends, I finally found Christmas....

Mama C had a little surprise for me last night.

 (I was so excited I didn't even care I was looking so homely pretty when Mama wanted a pic.)

My VERY OWN CHRISTMAS SWEATER!!!!

I just had posted about not having one and now I do!

Every time tacky Christmas came around in college I always had to borrow one and when I would ask others where they found these fabulous jems most said their mother's closet.  Well Mama C has never had anything close to something this majestical in her closet so she had to go buy me one.

Thank you Mama!


SCL
Now onto an epiphany I had.  Well I'm sure it has been done plenty of times but I was thinking I wanted to start some type of monogram swap or something online, maybe through a facebook page.  I know everyone loves stuff more when it is monogrammed.  You get said thing monogrammed and then when you are ready to get rid of it, well I don't know about you but I don't know anyone with the same monogram.  That is where the site, page whatever would come in.  People could come buy, sell trade their monogrammed items.  If anyone knows of something like this already please let me know, or if you would like to help me get this going let me know either way!  You can email me at Southernsass1107@gmail.com

Don't be THAT Co-worker.


You know that annoying coworker that is just like Monday, nobody likes them? Yep, we all have them.  If you're thinking nope not ringing a bell, well check yoself! You might be THEM or you are just truly blessed in the co-worker dept.

The office opens at 8.  They arrive at 8:30.  Don't worry though they had plenty of time to swing by and get their daily fountain drink fix.

Like to whistle while you work?  They sure do for all to hear.

Your boss doesn't like you using your cell phone during work?  It's fine they will just put their ring on the loudest it will go.

You are talking to your other co-worker quietly.  No biggie they will just come into your office and join you so they can have a better listen.

Got Candy?  They would LOVE some or all of it.

Oh yeah and I finally made a Facebook for the blog and look like a loser because I am pretty sure Mama C is the only one that has liked it so far. So everyone should probably go like it now. K Thanks!

Happy Monday Y'all!

It's that time, Confessions...


I confess...
I haven't worked out in like a month or two.  The last time I went for a total of 10 mins and got really shakey because I was so hungry so I bolted out of there and shoved a honey bun in my mouth as soon as I got in my car. Sorry I'm not sorry I'm a Heffa and a Honey Bun was all I had.

That 80% of the people I have on my Facebook I keep around for pure entertainment and making myself feel better about my life.

I will only listen to Christmas music in December, anything else isn't getting played.

I really love tacky Christmas sweaters, but I don't even own one. Sad I know it's like I have no soul.

I don't know how to reply to comments without it showing up under comments instead of just to their email?  Some one help a girl out.

When people who annoy me (coworker) talk I hum to myself to block out the noise.


Yeah thats about it for now, a girl has to keep some secrets.

It's like that time after Winter formal...only better.



Y'all I just hit 100 followers!
Let's hope I can keep them at least until I finish this post.  (I would hate for y'all to think I'm a liar)
Thank you so much everyone! (I know it's not like I'm winning a Grammy but it means a lot)
I hope everyone will stick around for a while even though at times "I am pretty boring and sometimes cuss."  Thank you Mama C for pointing that out, you try starting a blog lady! Now get onto my Christmas Shopping.

What does this having 100 followers mean now?!
Do I need to do a giveaway?
Do I need to find some sponsors?
Maybe start posting how I get my hair so flat or match my socks every day?!
Maybe this means I will get one of those bloggy besties people talk about!
  
Maybe I will do a fun giveaway soon, but don't worry we won't be jumping through any fire hoops and you won't have to promise me your first born just for a chance at a stick of butter.

A little about myself for you new followers....

I'm a twenty something, college grad still stuck in the mindset of my sorority days.  I have been job searching for my dream job for about a year now even though I am not so sure what I want to do with my life anymore.  Someone please pay me to be a stay at home daughter who crafts and watches trash tv all day!

My room mates are Mama C, Papa C, Huey and our recent addition Baby Girl (who hopefully becomes a permanent member of the fam)G, who I started this blog with met a boy and moved off the Plantation, left me with more closet space and this blog.

I'm not married.

Unfortunately I don't even have a dog anymore.  My precious Cocker Spaniel, Miss Princess Ana Sophia Diamond C, came up missing a few years ago while I was gone to work week and recruitment.  I think maybe she just took a long vacation, while Papa C thinks that vacay was with Jesus.

I hate working out and rarely ever do. 

I just blog about whatever comes to mind. 

Yeah thats about it kids.
 
 Thank you so much for following! :)

Haters gonna hate.

Last night was one of my favorite nights for television as it was the Victoria Secret Fashion Show.  
Every year I look forward to tuning in and feeling guilty for not having an ice cube for dinner, but I love every minute of it.  

I did notice there is quite of bit of hate out there towards these freak of nature starving girls.  I even heard talk of people protesting the fashion show.  Really? I mean if you can't see a Victoria Secret model without developing self hate issues then you were probably doomed regardless of whether the show aired or not.

Would I love to be my original birth weight again? sure.  Would I love to get paid millions to have my picture taken in super cute underwear. Sign me up! 

What people don't think about is all the hard work that goes into looking like that.  I mean the will power it takes to starve yourself into a size 4T, I know I don't have it.  I love Taco Bell.  Giving up solids weeks before the show and water the day of the show?  No way, I am a camel.

I'm just pissed that Beib's didn't sing my favorite Beib's songs for his performance and that I don't have the willpower to give up food.
 (I'm thinking next years Halloween costume...if I lose 100 lbs.)

I will do anything to look like a Victoria Secret Model, but I draw the line at working out and eating right.

Selfiegram.

I'm surprised I still have followers.  I have been keeping up with the blogs I read, but when it comes to blogging myself I've got nothing.

I can't even keep up with photo challenges on Instagram.  Every month I try to start one and this month I failed the first day and well the second and third. I forgot to post my picture. Oops.

 Speaking of Instagram I keep seeing people who only post pics of themselves.  Like here I am just driving to work.  Here I am again in the bathroom.   Did I miss something here?  There is a reason it is not called Selfiegram.  I get the occasional selfie, okay but everrryyyy day.  STOP!  I get embarassed for people.  Maybe it is because I don't do selfies I just feel weird but duck lips are not cute kids.

(Someone get these girls a sandwich!)
Oh yeah and don't forget about the Victoria Secret Fashion Show tonight!! Even though it makes me regret eating all year and it is the only time I feel the urge to workout, I love it.  Wait who am I kidding I never feel like working out.  I will be planted on the couch tonight probably eating while watching those hungry Angels prance around.

My Heart Hurts...

Yesterday I was doing my usual blog reading, when I came to Living in Yellow blog.

Erin included in her daily post a picture of a cute little 6 year old boy named Isaac.  Isaac's family was just celebrating in September that he was a survivor of Cancer and now they are just trying to enjoy every last moment of the few months they have been told he has left. The Cancer returned and has taken over his spine and brain. 

She also included a link to his parents online journal.  Of course I clicked the link and was sucked in reading for the day. (I wouldn't read unless you plan on shedding some tears.)

 I took this from a post his mama wrote Sunday about their lives lately..."I did, however, bawl my eyes out when washing and changing Jonah and Isaac's sheets and making their bunk beds."
Wow! Breaks my heart what families have to go through.

 This has been tugging at my heart since I read it. 
 I do not know Erin and I do not know Isaac or his family, but what I do know is this poor family is going through Hell right now.
I know it won't take his Cancer away but I added to the right where you can make a $5 donation to go towards his family and anyone can add it to their site as well.  If you go to Erin's blog you can link up to help show support for Isaac.

The Hap Happiest time of year...

My favorite time of year is here! I LOVE the holidays and Christmas decorations, music and movies.  Everyone keeps talking about their much needed breaks, like anyone is going to say "oh that four day weekend, nah I didn't need it I wish I had been at work instead of relaxing and gorging my face with food."  Any excuse to eat  and miss work I'll take it.

Now that Thanksgiving is over so are those What I am Thankful for facebook posts.  People are onto posting pictures of their decorated trees with their significant other.  Scrolling through facebook everyone is all like our first tree together in love and I'm just like "Mama when are we putting our tree up?"  I have got to get a life or a more grownup life without the bills. 

For now I will leave you with some of my Christmas time favorites.....

What other way to get into the Holiday spirit, without N*Sync's Christmas CD?

My favorite Christmas movie, Christmas Vacation Duhh.

Papa C loves buying See's candy to send to everyone.

Making junk like this and eating lots of it.

Of course I have many more favorites but we would be here all day.
Enjoy your after Thanksgiving Monday Hangover.

Say whaaat??

I'm linking up today  with Helene for Tell me about it Tuesday....

I'm no grammar Nazi, but sometimes I just come across things people post on Facebook and think "are you drunk?"  I honestly don't think some people read what they type before they post a status/comment. And if they do, I really wonder if they understood what they just said.  

I know I misspell things here and there and my punctuation isn't always so great, but I like to think people can read and understand what I am trying to say.

I know a common mistake is your and you're I can handle that, but when I read that your new baby slept "2 nights in a roll."  I become a little confused and well concerned.  Your baby did what?! Were you making rolls and your baby somehow ended up sleeping in one for two nights! is that even safe?

One I see often is people are always asking to "barrow" things.  I'm not sure what barrowing means, but I don't think I want you doing that to my stuff and if you have to ask through your status to "barrow" someone's car they probably shouldn't let you either.  It just can't end good.


You may think your spelling and grammar is just fine, but you could wrong.

Friday is my second favorite F word...

It's finally Friday and while I could be writing a letter to Friday who probably won't even read it or become all confessional and confess my secrets and sins to readers, I think I will just for once write about my own topic.  Stuff I sometimes want to ask Bloggers but don't.  Wouldn't that be a long link-up name? It's not going to be don't worry.  


But really I know you all think it you just don't say it.  Here is a list of some of the things I wonder...

Who takes all the model like pictures of you?  

Do you spend the day getting ready for said picture and use a tripod or do you actually have a photog that follows you on your way twirling out of the picture perfect house on your way to work?

Do you actually want to read a post about people who sponsor you and why you should check out their blog too? (Not saying I don't want to I'm just asking.)


You give away so much stuff you must be really unselfish or have just a ton of new stuff lying around.  Where do you get it all?

Did these people really just get your address somehow and say I want to send you this cool shit and see if you like it, go on try it out. And how can I get them to find my address?

Do you really think that was a good deal on said item or are you just trying to be fancy huh?


Do readers really send you sooo many emails it is such a burden you have to start posting like a single picture with the caption something along the lines of my popularity is soo stressful need a break, enjoy this pic of peacocks....

Do you really get a ton of emails about what kind of toilet paper you use or foot cream or did you just want to write a post about it?  Either is fine...I think.

Is there really a secret blogging circle and why hasn't anyone taken me under their wing?

That should be all for now.  Please share with me stuff y'all wonder and want to ask Bloggers sometimes.

I don't do lines...


It's Thursday y'all,  Breaking Dawn Part Two comes out tonight at midnight!  As much as I do love some Twilight I will not being waiting in line after work to see the movie.  I don't do lines.  I would rather wait a day or two and see it crowd free. People just tend to piss me off in large groups.


Speaking of lines, large groups and being pissed off, next Friday is Black Friday already.  Where did the year go?
I don't do Black Friday either.  Every year on the way to my aunts house for Thanksgiving we pass a Best Buy on the way and there are always tents and tons of people starting to line up for the next days sales.  For starters I don't do tents outdoors unless it is a tailgating tent, I don't do lines and I sure don't miss a meal especially one like Thanksgiving to do any of the above.  Sorryboutme not happening.  

As much as waiting to be let into a store to battle other crazies for cheap shit sounds appealing it just isn't my kind of thing. Even though I always dreamed of going on Super Market Sweep and Black Friday is the closest I will probably ever get I would almost rather pay extra just to avoid those festivities.

Instead I think I will enjoy my day off sleeping in my cozy bed, then probably move to the couch, stuff my face with some Thanksgiving left overs and watch some Christmas movies.  I will be online for Cyber Monday though!  Anyone know of any can't miss deals?  I'm hoping to find a good deal on a Cameo Silhouette machine.

What about y'all do any of you go to crazy town for Black Friday?

Oh How Pinteresting...


My Birthday is Saturday!  Woo Hoo.  Okay maybe I'm not that excited I am kinda having issues with this getting older thing.  My Birthday means I run the show, well maybe I already do but now I can use my birthday as an excuse for my bossiness. 
Because I am a Pinterest addict and I can't resist a link-up I am just sharing some of my Birthdayish Pins.

 
  (This precious pup looks like my old dog Sophie)
 Would make the perfect gift for me. :)
PLEEEASSEEE Someone?!




I think I need this dress with some sparkly shoes and it would be a great birthday outfit.

 Throw in some birthday shots of course!



I should probably have this Princess cake too, I have to have a cake right?

Throw in some cute guys and I would call that a successful Birthday!

Happy Pinning!

Fur Trends.

I am loving the fur vests I am seeing lately.  I am looking for one kinda like this one I found on Pinterest through Nordstroms. 

While browsing Pinterest I also came across some fur trends I am not loving.
I am sure she is warm, but surely she knows how ridiculous she looks right?
  Just no.  I would think the legs would get in the way of my daily activities.
A whole fur body suit just seems a little much to me, but maybe it is because I am hot natured.
And of course Snooki.  While I don't think her boots are all that bad it is the fact that she is sporting denim shorts and a short sleeve shirt with these babies.  I wonder if her feet got super hot?


On the subject of ridiculous, you know what is ridiculous?  Book prices.  I have noticed through facebook everyone is getting their schedules and such for next semester.  New classes mean new dun dun dun...books.
I always hated buying books because when I would go to sell them back at the end of the year they usually wanted to give me like $5 for a $200 book.  I wish I had knew about and tried out renting books.
If you are interested look into Campus Book Rentals.  I was looking on their site and noticed they had several books I had to purchase for my photography and design classes.

I'm baaaccckkk....

No need to fret any longer, this girl is back from New Orleans!
(Our hotel the Crown Plaza)

Let's be honest here, New Orleans wasn't ever on my list of must go to places.  I always thought it would be dirty and scary.  I had been through once not long after Katrina and it was so depressing looking, but I also must take into account I had only been on the highway and a quick detour in front of the Superdome, not the prettiest view of the city.   I had no desire to return. 
Until my uncle asked my cousin and I if we would like to go when he would be going for business he thought we would enjoy it. Of course we said yes and I am so glad we did.  I LOVED IT!!  
(charbroiled oysters at the ACME Oyster House)

There is so much more than Bourbon St. no ever told me about, to be honest I could have done without Bourbon St.  I loved all the history and old buildings.  The French Market was my favorite, other than the food of course.  The food was amazing.  We tried the top suggested New Orleans restaurants.  I ate waayyy too many charbroiled oysters and had some wonderful shrimp etoufee! And I can't hate a place that you can get yo drank on anytime any day anywhere and it is socially acceptable.
(Streets get so dirty they have to wash them in the mornings that truck sprays soap and water everywhere)

We took a two hour tour all over New Orleans and shopped and shopped.  I always take an extra carry on bag in case I need extra room for things I buy or whatever.  I always check my big suitcase, I'm an over packer and there is no way I could fit it all in a carry on.  My uncle kept reminding me to make sure I didn't leave my taser in my purse or carry on.  Well all is going well in security until I can't find my bag, I then notice the security guy has my bag and is pulling me aside. CRAP! He puts it on the machine to scan it and I had forgotten I had bought some hot sauce and I guess the bottle was too large for a carry on so it set the machine off. Whew! I was worried I had forgotten to take the taser out.  I just told him to keep the hot sauce and I would be on my way.
(The Beauty we found on Bourbon Street)
 
Our flights went fine, on the way home a really tall athletic guy ended up sitting next to me turns out he was a basketball player and flying in because he was traded to a different team or something I don't know I don't really follow basketball, but he was so nice and so scared of flying.  Once I found out he was scared I told him I had a dream our plane crashed and he was in the dream.  I eventually told him I was kidding and he did laugh so he wasn't too freaked out.  He got my number since he doesn't know anyone  in the area.  What he doesn't know is I'm so boring I might as well not know anyone. 
(Some left over beads on the powerlines)

Although I never found Angelina and Brad's house that I know of, I had a great time on my trip and can't wait to go back!

Walk-of-Shame

I’m back, bitches…
For a limited time only.
S gave me one task and since I'm not really that reliable in her opinion these days, I, of course, forgot to get myself together and post this yesterday but now that we are stuck with Obama for 4 more years we need something to cheer us up.  So, here we go...
Election Day has come and gone so I thought I would share a little story about last Election Day. As you know, the C. family is probably as Republican as one family can be. So, of course, S and I spent months showing our support for Senator McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008.
Papa C woke me up extra early the morning of the election to make sure I had plenty of time to go vote. Go ahead, make fun. I was only 23 years old, finishing my last semester of college, and only 3 months in to my very first big girl job.
I made my way to the local Civic Center where voting takes place and got in line with some rather questionable people, some of which I don’t believe should have the right to vote. After a few short minutes (lets not kid ourselves, in a town of 2,000 people you pretty much just walk in and immediately get to vote) I was at the front of the Republican line waiting on the lady behind the table to find my name on the Republican list. (Obviously, our town is so small I didn’t have to tell her my name she knew the second I walked in the door)
This woman is searching and finally tells me I am not registered to vote here. Naturally, I give her a signature G look and roll my eyes. Of course, I’m registered here, I’ve voted here the whole 2 other times I was old enough to vote. Then it hit me…
I am a registered Democrat, F my life. How could I possibly let the fact that I registered as a Democrat, you may ask, slip my mind. Well, at the stupid age of 19 a family friend of ours was running in an election as a Democrat and my family was helping her campaign.
In order for me to vote for this lady in the primary election I had to be registered as a Democrat. Stupidly, I allowed this woman to register me. I voted for her, she lost, I voted Republican for everything else and for the Republican who ran against her in the major election. However, voting Republican does not change your registration to Republican.
Upon this realization, I WALK OF SHAMED over to the loser Democrat table and sure enough, there my name was. I grabbed my ballot as quickly as possible and got the hell away from those Democrats. 
Immediately I called Mama and Papa C and shared my humiliation with them. Papa C informed S and I became known as the black sheep Democrat of the family until the day that my new voter’s card arrived in the mail stating that I was officially a Republican.

Nawlin's

Things have been a little boring around the blog lately and they are about to....stay the same.
 This girl is leaving for New Orleans at the butt crack of dawn.   

I'm ready to stuff my face with some great Cajun cooking.

People watch, I know Nawlin's has got to have more than plenty of that.
 
  (found this on Google, I NEED to find myself one of these drinks)

Have a few drinks.

And I guess work a little since that is the reason they tell me I am going.

Tune in Tuesday, G will be back blogging about her walk of shame. Oh and don't forget to VOTE. duhh.


You know you love me
