Such a rebel …
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her, wish I could talk to her, want to see her. I miss my grandmother, Mia, like crazy, since she passed away in June. If there was anything she taught me, it was to make my own way in this crazy life. That rules are…

I haven’t been inside a grocery store in weeks
My personal shopper calls me to tell me she substituted galas for pink ladys. That she gave me 18 for the same price as the 12 I ordered, since they were out of a dozen eggs in that particular brand. If I thought I loved Harris Teeter before, I love it even more now that…

A girl’s guide to a beer festival (ok fine, it’s for guys too)
So, I’ve been to a few beer festivals over the years and I’ve always really enjoyed them. This past weekend I attended Charlotte Oktoberfest, and it was so much fun! Every time I go to a festival, though, I see people walking in the door with their pretzel necklaces on, and I think, “Oh yeah,…

Scene of the crime (of course I returned!)
Do you recognize this? Yeah, I didn’t either. That’s because the last time I was at the Diamond Restaurant, I didn’t even get to the part where a menu was handed to me. Instead, I decided to entertain the restaurant with my lovely fainting episode which landed me in the hospital for three days. That…

Minnie Mouse, here we come …
So. Disneyworld. My apologies for not updating this sooner. In fact, Crystal emailed me several weeks ago telling me she just had to know Mia’s response, and I was so grateful for the reminder! I wrote recently about how my niece, Mia, is getting a trip to Disneyworld for her 5th birthday (technically, all the…

Action 9? Better Business Bureau? All I know, is don’t trust this woman with your items …
On October 8, 2009, I dropped off several items to be consigned with It’s a Bridal Thing. At the time, it was located on 7512 E Independence Blvd, Suite 104, Charlotte, NC 28227. I spoke with the owner, Sonya Fogle, and she agreed to sell three items for me: a wedding dress, a veil, and…

My favorite photo subjects
Wanted to show off a couple of photos of my nieces. They came running up during a photo shoot for a client a couple of weeks ago and of course I couldn’t resist snapping a couple of shots of them. Aren’t they beautiful?

On ambien and Joy Bauer
So, you may have heard me reference this little piece of magic that I have recently discovered. Joy Bauer’s “Your Inner Skinny” is a perfect guide to nutrition, in my opinion. She shows you how to get your fruits and vegetables, proteins, fats and carbs all balanced in a healthy way that helps you get…

Doctor’s orders
So, I went to see an ortho doctor this morning about my foot injury. And sure enough, there’s a small fracture on my third metatarsal bone. The good news is, the X-rays from a week ago show that new bone has already started to form, and the X-rays from today show an even bigger healing.…

Back on the couch
Finally, I was starting to feel “normal” again for the first time since February. Normal in the sense of getting myself back on track with the workouts, that is. After I decided to put on a show at The Diamond restaurant and then spend 3 lovely days at the five-star resort otherwise known as Carolinas…
