Today is Wednesday

Posted by AllieB on October 13, 2010

This week has been dragging. I’m busy, yet I’m not busy. I was social on Monday for the Braves game (thanks, Bobby!), and that always throws me off re: what day I feel like it should be. Even my horoscope has me nailed. It reads:

Are you guilty of clock watching AND calendar watching? Those midweek blahs are just a state of mind. Give yourself permission to break from routine and do something “weekend-y” this evening.

Yes, yes, and I would be glad to do something weekend-y tonight. The horoscopes on elle.com are uncannily on-point a majority of the time. MC and I have been reading them for years, and we often marvel at their knowledge. After Gmail, Facebook, and Wachovia, it’s the next tab I open every morning.

To add insult to injury, the weather is beyond spectacular and all I want to do is drive around and listen to tunes. Leila, is my cd ready yet?

Lastly, my mom and I went to Cocktails & Canvas last night, and it turns out that I’m something of an artiste. We had a really good time, although you should know that they do not provide glasses OR wine openers, so bring your own. The young lady sitting across from me was prepared for the lack of wine drinking accoutrements and had eschewed the whole idea by instead bringing a cooler of watermelon-flavored Smirnoff Ice. To each their own, I suppose.

Egregious oversight: I mentioned I went with my mom, but I neglected to share her art. Perhaps it was envy that provokedd this delinquency…hers is much better than mine! I seriously want to go back – keep an eye out for the next Groupon, Gaylen…

Breath of fresh air

Posted by AllieB on September 27, 2010

Those who don’t live in ATL wrongly assume that we go from disgusting, humid, suffocating summers straight into bleak, snowless winters, and, while, yes, those are accurate descriptions for those two seasons, the spring and the fall in Atlanta actually happen to be quite glorious.

Finally, after what was definitely the longest, stickiest, most oppressively hot summer that I can remember, fall has arrived…!

Fall Favorites:

  • football (of the Falcon variety)
  • pretty leaves
  • outdoor AWD’s (a perennial favorite, it seems)
  • outdoor yogs (minus the allergies)
  • breaking out non-black items in my wardrobe, as fear of sweating thru clothing has decreased significantly

Seriously, thank you for sharing this, Sister. Monday Mania – you are dismissed.

I really phoned this one in.
