Pant Intimidation

I put these pants on to wear them out for only the second time since I bought them well over a year ago. These pants. Intimidate. Me. 

I'm honestly not intimidated by much, but a few things do the trick. Bright colors, wooly worms, hot peppers, and patent leather top my list, but these pants are now right up there. 

Sometimes you need to face your fears and confront what intimidates you head on! I pulled these pants out, tough talked them a little, flopped them around, and put them right on! They had nothing more to say to me. I had won this round. Silly pants. 

Now if you will excuse me I have a pepper eating wooly worm with bright pink patent leather shoes staring me down and I really need to get my husband to deal with him.

Oktoberfest

This weekend the husband and I ventured out to the Nashville Oktoberfest in Germantown! If you like to eat the best tasting, artery clogging foods, and listen to some really amazing oompah oompah music this is the festival for you!

My bestie and her beau Tom, along with Stella the beautiful (see above) and our friend Greg came along and we really had an incredible time. There's lots to see (and buy) and me judging everyone's outfit choices people watching. 

We ate, we drank, we were merry! Specifically Sherri and I did some horrible things to some turkey legs and destroyed a couple of funnel cakes on the way out. My arteries will not be thanking me later.

Red

I dyed my hair red. Just like every other brunette on earth in the fall, I put on the gloves, poured the sauce, and poisoned my scalp. I feel pretty good about it.

There is just something about a new hair color that makes me feel alive! Not just normal alive, but alive alive. Like something really cool is going to happen, or I might secretly be a super hero! If I were secretly a super hero, I would be mega angry about it. Like secretly I can fly and I never told anyone about it...not even myself??? What the heck? Maybe that's my super hero name; Mega Angry! Able to leap...to conclusions! It's a little mad, it's sorta upset, NO it's MEGA ANGRY! 

I got a little off topic up there, but please don't call me out on it because you might make me angry. Trust me, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

Husband Jeans

That was a completely unintentional blog break, but I am back and my goal is to do a lot more posts! So happy Labor Day. Here are some pictures of me...

I know these are typically referred to as "boyfriend" jeans, but I don't have a boyfriend. I have a husband. I've had one for almost 15 years so I just can't in good conscience call these boyfriend jeans. 

I bought my mom bought that shirt for me when I was in the 10th grade I believe. No, I am not kidding. It's old. It's way old. That shirt is so old that when I told it to act it's age it died. 

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing that I can still wear that shirt. It means one of two things; I either had big boobs in the 10th grade or I have small boobs now. I would ask my husband, but he is mad that I stole his jeans.

Whitest Legs In The South - A "Shorts" Story

There once was a girl who thought it would be ok to wear shorts when her legs hath not seen a ray of sun in months. Everything seemed ok until she looked at her pictures for her blog. 

Suddenly the light of a thousand white moons shown from her whitey white legs and she was almost blinded! What a travesty! How could she subject her readers to the same agony as she had just endured. 

But alas, she typed away and hit publish anyway because she had to show herself in shorts or a skirt without tights at some point! That day is today, and she is ok with it. She now has snow blindness, but she is ok. 

The End.

Winery Finery

We celebrated my wonderful friend Sherri's Birthday this weekend with a trip to Arrington Vineyards. What started out as a rainy day quickly turned into a beautiful, glorious afternoon full of friends, snacks, and of course a little wine! 

We picked out a blackberry and raspberry wine to try that were insanely delicious! Then we snacked on hummus, pita chips, and cupcakes! It was pretty much perfect! 

Here's the girls! Steph, Bri, me, and Sherri! D took the pics. He was such a good sport, and even played DJ for us on the way home! 

There were a ton of people there, but it didn't feel overly crowded until you had to use the bathroom. There were two bathrooms in the wine tasting building. They were one toilet bathrooms. That is when I realized there was actually one hundred million people there. 
We also happened to see a family taking some photos across the field from us, so we did what all normal civilized people would do and attempted to photobomb every single picture that we were in the background of. We got some stares, but mostly a lot of love from a group at a picnic table beside us. We laughed so hard it made the bathroom situation that much more dire. It was all totally worth it though. 

Happy Birthday Sherbear! Here's to many many more wine drinking, laughter filled, pee inducing birthdays to come!

Pug is the New Black

Last week was a busy week. Work was busy. Home was busy (mostly because we binge watched Orange is the New Black...Obsessed!). We are watching a very special little pup named Lilly for a couple of weeks and she keeps us busy. I love staying a little busy though. 

Lilly is a pug and she belongs to my bestie, Sherri. She snorts all the time and I love it until she is all snortin along and blows a bunch of wet all over your face. It is not good when that happens, but we still love her. 

While adding these photos I just realized I am missing one that I know I edited. I have no idea what I did with it though. Also when I just typed that last though, I missed a letter and it autocorrected it to thug. Made me giggle. Not sure why. 

I have a whole other post that will be dedicated to the location (or at least a place that is near this location) that we took these photos. I got very excited when I realized that my nails matched the paint splatter outside this building almost perfectly. My job allows me to paint my nails crazy colors and show my tattoos (well some of them) most of the time and I love it. I wasn't allowed that privilege for over a year and it is amazing how draining it can be to not be able to express yourself. Maybe that's all Lilly is trying to do when she snots all over my face. She is just expressing her puggy self and I should let her be. I should also get her a tissue.
