I dedicate this to my biff, Kristin Sharps. My life would be semi-meaningless and way less interesting without you!

Blog Giveaways!

I love a good blog giveaway. I see them all the time on the blogs I read and never really think to try and get in on the goods. But not this time! One of my favorite blogs to follow is Pink Preppy Lilly Lover by Trish. Her blog inspires a lot of what I do on here as far as fashion and quotes go.

This week shes doing an 'inspired by tortoise' giveaway, that I am definitely hoping to win! I love everything about this watch and just know that it would look devine on my wrist.

It's Michael Kors, and will basically go with everything I own so I'm hoping! But if not, there's alwaaaays Christmas! :)

Hop on over to Trish's blog to check it out....I know you won't be disappointed! I'll be back soon to post some yummies I've made recently. And though I'm pretty sure I say that almost every time I post, I promise it's true this time!

College Football = Love

Ok so listen....I know I've been suuuper slack about posting, but I swear I'm back in action. I've had a really intense past couple of weeks, but I believe things are looking up now! Especially because it's college football seasonnnn!!! Ok ok let me quit hyperventilating for a second......

I'm good. So today I'm packing up the car and heading to Columbia with my girl Kennedy to watch my beloved Gamecocks play those disgusting Georgia Bulldogs. And good Lawd am I excited! Talgating and Gamecock football have to be two of my favorite pasttimes, but especially so with this game. I mean I have a lot of bragging rights riding on this game. Do you know how HARD it is to live in Georgia and be surrounded by UGA fans alllll the time and not talk a lot of smack? But I'll tell you what. If we win, all bets are off. Thankfully, I'm not a super obnoxious Gamecock fan, but I will be for a few people if all goes according to plan!

My friend Erin sent me this quote from ESPN about USC and I am so happy to share it with you all.

"There's something different in Columbia. Those guys can really play & they expect to win. Theres been a lot of tough years for South Carolina, but it's different now. You can feel it & see it when you enter Williams-Brice Stadium. That's a good football team down there. We will see on Saturday, but Georgia might not know what hit them on the way back to Athens.  I believe South Carolina has finally arrived." - ESPN

 Ahhh it feels good to be liked by ESPN again. Anywho, since it's a noon game, it is suuuure to be a ridiculous time. I can just feel the onslaught of headaches I'm going to experience on the Sunday afternoon drive back to ATL. For you entertainment I'm going to post a few of my favorite tailgating/ football season pictures. Enjoy and I'll be back on Monday to regail you with my fun adventures....hopefully. Have a great weekend and good luck to the teams you're cheering for (unless it's UGA of course!).  :)

36 Things

I know I don't usually post twice in one day (or in the same two hours) but I just got this lovely email from my friend Erin and I HAD to share it with y'all! Attached to the email was this article called "36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do Before She Settles Down". It's written by Erin Meanley, a dating blogger at Glamour Magazine. Go here if you want to read the whole article, but below are some of my favorites!

1.  Go to a movie alone.

 

2.  Lift weights. When I bench-press 45 lbs., I feel like the bomb.

 

5.  Live alone, or at least move apartments in NYC without the help of family.

 

13.  Get drunk during the day, just because you can. Attend Santacon, the convention for Santas, or something similar.

 

17.  Be a good wingwoman. It's not always about you.

 

30.  Learn to cook well. I'm still working on this.

 

Although I'm not sure if I would be gutsy enough to try everything on the list, I can confidently say that I've done more than a few already, so it would be interesting to try the rest! Overall it seems to be a pretty good list. What do you guys think? Would you add anything else?

Back At It...

I know, I know I've been a massivly slack blogger lately. But I have an excuse! Last week had to of been one of THE most stressful weeks that I've experienced in a while. You know sometimes, you get to that point where everything that's been going wrong inevitably builds up until it can't anymore? Well that's kind of what happened to me. Between my car getting keyed thanks to the psychos downstairs by God only knows who, money issues, and life in general, I needed a little time-out. Thankfully this weekend was blessedly uneventful and relaxing. And now, on to a new week!

As far as this week is concerned I am excited for Labor Day, but sad at the same time because that means Summer is officially over and I am once again destined to become pale. But as I have previously discussed I love Fall, so I'm not too sad. USC's first football game is this Thursday and I am soooo excited to cheer on my Gamecocks. Me and some of my local alumni friends are going to watch the game at Carolyn's since it's apparently a Carolina bar. Ahh time to break out the garnet and black! Also in the mix for this week, my friend Monica is coming down tonight! She's coming for a Braves game since she got swindled into buying a ton of tickets and she has invited me along.

As for my weekend/holiday plans go, Kristin will by making her second appearance in ATL along with her boyfriend Brian. Hopefully I can find sooome way to entertain them. Since it's looking like a beautiful weekend I believe floating down the Hooch will be involved. Any who I saw this quote today and thought it went well with how I'm feeling this week, along with this cute picture of Audrey.
