I love my orchid! Now to repot and get some new blooms.

This is maddening. I worked for a corporate fast food restaurant and the CEO refused to put them in the restrooms. He said it didn't go with the ascthetics of his bathroom design. And then he didn't understand why we weren't considered a family fast food place.

Haha. Fair enough. I bought my house because it had a formal English garden in the backyard so I can’t be trusted to make sound decisions about buying houses. I do not live in England but rather a charming Southern US City.

What? I would have bought the house regardless of condition, location, etc. just to have the talking piece of the hot tub in the kitchen. Think how convenient...drinks and food at the ready. You would never, ever have to leave the hot tub.

Nope. I love my tC. It has been the most reliable little car I have ever owned. It will at some point be sold though because I miss having a convertible. But if they made a convertible tC/Celica, I would love that.

This terrifies me. I live in Athens but on the opposite side of town from the students so I can never get a traditional taxi. It's either walk or Uber it.

This is amazing! I wish I were in NY to see this series. I have been rereading some of my favorite mystery novels, mainly from Sayers and Tey. Hitchock’s “Young and Innocent”, which is based upon Josephine Tey’s “A Shilling for Candles”, is another recommendation if you love this genre (although her novel is more…

Yep, and he would make a beautiful Ramses.

Normal bar and Old Pal! Those are my hangouts.

Sorry but it is in fact real. The flagpole updated its story earlier with a confirmation from bartenders there. There is a reason why DT Athens is split into the student and townie sides. The side with this bar is scary and backwards.

Gwynnie Bee caters to sizes 10-32. They offer subscription boxes and the option to purchase (or at least they used to do so). It isn’t quite the same as StitchFix as it does not give automatically give you a personal stylist although there is the option to contact stylists.

So Matthew McConaughey wasn't in Sweet Home Alabama. You have him confused with Josh Lucas.

I am a restaurant manager and I won't do it because in that time in which I wait on your group to get its happy ass into my restaurant, I could have sat a complete party and had them out the door. I wait on you and I have an essentially empty table making no money for either me or the server. So either I do this or I…

Hear, hear! These are my favorite cookies. And the local TJMaxx sometimes has the real ones. Yum.

Oh yes. Because butter is not bad enough, we add honey to it and then drizzle it on bread. It is delicious but my goodness is it bad for your arteries. I take it you are not a Southerner?

We are a small corporate chain restaurant in a small city in the South. He likes his sweet tea with extra, extra sugar and his salad with extra, extra ranch dressing. He is something else.

This actually happened today because there is never a dull moment managing a restaurant. We have this insanely needy regular, let's call him Ted, who comes every day at 5:00. Last Saturday, as he was leaving, he asked for prayers (? Sure, buddy) because he thought he was having a heart attack. Turns out, yep he sure…

Yep. Internship, 4 Grad school classes, and a full time job. It sucks. Not going to lie. But it will end one day.
That's my mantra. It will end one day. I can do it.

I always swore by Bobbi Brown corrector (and not the concealer!) but as I have gotten older and tiny lines began creeping under my eyes, I have turned to liquid concealer. My current favorite is the FitMe by Maybelline. It is way better than the Nars one I was using.

In college I once worked at a club downtown where I was a beer tub girl and a shooter girl. It was, um, interesting. Our uniforms consisted of strapless black bras, black bands with fringe that doubled as shirts, black miniskirts and black stilettos. I didn't actually make a lot of money since we catered to a young…
