Sister Sister

My baby sister, Becca, is graduating today. Tear. I feel old, proud, happy and sad all at the same time, but I'll save the major mush for her birthday! I am so stinkin proud of her. She will be heading to Ole Miss for college in the fall where she will major in forensic chemistry. For real. Anything to do with chemistry gives me a panic attack, but she will rock it. She is smart and beautiful and will no doubt be successful at whatever she decides to do. Plus, I get to go on one heck of a vacay to help her celebrate. I'm sure there will be tons of pictures. I might even do some blogging while I'm there. We'll just have to see if I'm able to tear myself away from the sun & sand long enough.

Just Beachin'

I'm having a really hard time getting back into the groove. All I can think about is the beach and how badly I want to be back there. I'm done with work stress and 8 to 5s with no summer break. Give me a job in a little store on shore and I'll be one happy mama. Guess I should have bought a lottery ticket while I was in Florida. I just can't get my head in the game. Life is super hectic already and the month of May is gonna be no joke around here. From a wedding (and everything leading up to it) to multiple graduation celebrations, birthdays, vacation and anniversaries. My head is spinning as I try to process it all. In an effort to soothe my brain, lets just look at this for a minute...

This was the view from the chair where I happily planted my rear for 2 days straight. Ahhhhhhh!

Yes, this pic is now my computer screen saver, phone background and has been burned into my brain, thank you. Can't ya just hear the waves crashing?

Now, back to reality...

Girls Rule!

The weekend was absolutely fabulous. The group of ladies was perfect- an amazing combination of smart and funny. My tummy hurts from laughing so hard. I got to catch up with old pals and make some great new friends. What can I say? We totally rocked Seagrove Beach. Coming home Sunday was not fun a'tall. I needed at least another week of vacation. At least. I didn't get many pictures. Sorry y'all, I was just too busy having fun.


Here is the bachelorette in all her garb. Congrats, KT!


Keke and me cheezing it up at Bud & Alleys...


And our crew after a fab dinner of seafood alfredo (Thanks, Susie & KT) and before our beach house dance par-tay USA. That's how we roll.





Other gals took tons of pictures, so I am sure I'll have more for you later and don't worry our next girls ONLY getaway is already in the works!

I'm Outie!

I am heading to the beach bright and early in the am for a weekend of bachelorette fun-ness. Please note that the beach is the only thing that could get me up before 6 am on my day off. I am so looking forward to basking my buns in the sun while sipping on a fruity drink (or five) with my toes in the sand. I will come back renewed and rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. I hope.

Party Like It's 2009!

The fondue was fab and the jeep riding was rockin' (more on both later) and now I am totally exhausted. So, TGIF! Tonight Bama plays Utah in the Sugar Bowl. We will have a house full. It will be oh so fun- as long as we win, of course. Roll Tide!

Have I mentioned that I hate the BCS? It is totally flawed. WE. NEED. PLAYOFFS. It won't stop me from watching, though!

Can't wait to see Little Red and Miss Sassypants tonight. I have really missed them. LR called me from GGs yesterday to tell me he wanted to go to the beach. Like right then. He cried when I told him we are going in May. He must take after his mama! I am always ready to head south for sand and sun. Hopefully I can hold him off til May...or we may have to do a weekender before then. Hmmmm, that sounds like a great idea. I'll have to let LR mention it to Mr. Sass- People, it is hard to tell that little red head blue eyed cutie no.
