1. I am baffled that Vandy beat UGA last weekend. My beloved Georgia Bulldogs have lost two weekends in a row. I can accept the loss to Missouri - but not Vandy. Injuries or no injuries - baffling. I love Vandy and have tons of friends who went there - but you just don't lose to them.
2. Am completely jealous of all my friends in Atlanta that posted pictures of Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) recent trip to town. A few bloggers I follow posted about it too so I know it was a great event, which reminds me that I still have some recipes of hers to test. Has anyone tested her lamb shanks with orzo - looks devine!
3. Am overwhelmed at how much my hometown (Marietta, GA) has grown! I was in town over the weekend visiting my mother and couldn't get over the traffic. We moved her out of my childhood home a year ago into an apartment in Sandy Springs. The house was too much upkeep after Daddy died and she didn't need all the space. Of course, you know I did drive a drive by the old house and I couldn't get over how much the area has changed. I am sure it has been like this and I just didn't notice before but WOW!
4. Said drive by through Marietta had me realize how much I am living without!!! I love my sleepy southern town nestled in the foothills of the Western NC mountains but...........Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Williams Sonoma - ahhhh.....oh! how I have missed you! I stocked up good!
5. I can't believe H's soccer season is over. His last tennis lesson is next Monday. Seriously - where did fall go?
6. I almost became a stalker Saturday. Mother and I were meeting a friend for lunch at the country club where I got married and I drove by the house of my favorite blogger (on accident). To see the house in person was even more amazing than the pictures. I slammed the brakes so hard I almost sent my mother flying through the windshield. I fought the urge to run to the front door and beg her to be my BFF - no need to turn into Single White Female (you remember the creepy movie from the late 80s/early 90s). But really - so.stinkin'.cute. I really should pay this girl a royalty for all her ideas I copy. I don't think she follows my blog so hopefully, I didn't just freak her out. If so, I promise I am sane.
7. Did I mention that I can't believe Vandy beat UGA? Really people...........
Well, I have a Fall Festival, Bible Study, Halloween Spooktacular and Sunday Supper to plan - oh, and my pesky job to get back to. Have a great day!
xoxo,
TSS
