Gotta support the team
Posted on | September 2, 2010 | 4 Comments
Puddy said it best, you gotta support the team. And my team is the Atlanta Braves, friends. (who are having an awesome season, btw). I haven’t been as good of a fan as I should be this year but I grew up the Atlanta Braves and they’re a huge part of my past. I happened to find this adorable Atlanta Braves tee at Old Navy the other day and I snagged one (confession: I bought two). It has rapidly become a favorite recent purchase as it is perfectly fitted, super soft and it features the old skool Braves logo which I have always been a huge fan of. It has also been a welcome addition to my morning running wardrobe (it is much less controversial than this number). Go Bravos.
p.s. I apologize for the crappy iPhone pic. For some reason these cute vintage baseball logo tees aren’t on the website.

I needed a dose of something pretty today and these lovely cake stands are totally hitting the spot. I’m a sucker for a cake stand and these are extra girly which I love. I’m suddenly wanting to bake sweet treats like a crazy person. After browsing around this beautiful shop, I noticed the creator is from Atlanta which makes total sense because awesome things come from Atlanta.
Home Sweet Home

So I’ve been living at my friend Lesley’s place for a month. She is truly a saint and I owe her big time. The good news is I start my new temporary sublet tomorrow. I’ll be there for two months and at then I’ll move somewhere (where?!) permanently. All this moving and in limbo-ness does make me think about the idea of “home.” I’ve been homeless (figuratively, of course) for a couple of months now and it is an odd feeling. I started reminiscing of all the places I’ve lived in my life. And, because I’m such an absolute dork, I did some google maps work and found almost all of my former abodes. The only locales I couldn’t manage to get screen shots of were all the different dorms I lived in during college in San Antonio and in Sydney. So, besides those pesky dorms, here are all the places I’ve called home.
Weekend Review
Posted on | August 30, 2010 | 8 Comments
Great weekend. Great weather. Great friends. No complaints from me. Here’s a summary as told by iPhone pics.
Tacos and Modelos with this guy (and his lovely wife who took the picture) before he departs to Germany.
Nighttime in Washington Square Park.
A trek uptown to visit my old abode. Surreal and freaky. But oddly fine.
Something delicious to eat while watching Footloose.
Lazy strolls around the best neighborhood in the world. I’m simply head over heels in love with the West Village. It’s good to be back.
Trying to snag as much sun as I can with this view in the background.
The only thing I want to drink these days: negro modelo in a salted glass of ice with lime. Hey, don’t knock ’till you try it.
Wrapped up the weekend with a belly full of bbq on Sunday night. Sometimes, life is perfect.

This was a tough week for me, lots of ups and down. Very happy for the arrival of the weekend though. It’s supposed to be lovely weather so I’m hoping to get some sun. Fall will be here before we know it. Also on the docket, a muuuuch needed hair cut, a trip to uptown to my old apartment, and plenty of cocktails. What do y’all have cooking up? Whatever it is, I hope it is so much fun. Don’t forget, summer ain’t over yet.
