VACAY AWAY - Hey ya'll,

I'm chilling for a bit on vacay with my mom and grandma in an undisclosed locale. I'll tell you this tho - its hotter than Hades here. My sister, her boo and my aunt were here too, but they had to cut their holiday short to get back to work.


Nothing like getting up when you want, eating breakfast when you want, napping when you want, going to the beach when you want. Love it! Not to toot my own horn, but this is a much deserved break.


Anyway, I said last time that I would give yall info on some of my favorite lifestyle blogs. Just like my police girls have given me some insight into this crazy new life my old life has evolved into, my lifestyle chicas often make me look at my life as a whole whether its clothes, home decor or just fun stuff for everyday living. Here are some of my favorites that I read pretty darn regularly.



Darling Dexter - I met Whitney thru her hubby-wuberton who used to work with me. She is so cool without even knowing it. They are genuinely awesome people and even though we are BFF, FabBeau and I really like being couple friends with them. They gave us a cool chair that they had reupholstered when they moved. She makes adorable but sophisticated clothes, she blogs, she is being a student at Parsons (like Tim Gunn Parsons) in NYC and according to her blog she is working with Carol Hannah from Project Runway. Just look at it, you will like her too!

Paris Market and Brocante This boho-chic store has a crazy cool website and blog too. Everytime I read it, it makes me want to redo my house with awesome found objects that look like I shop at flea markets and have really amazing taste. Which I currently do not, and I admit this.

I also love to look at DailyCandy - i even get the emails; PopCandy-that Whitney is so fun!

While I'm at it, I'll go ahead a tell you some other things I like personally, since I tend to have those sites saved to my favorites as well.
Daily faves include my beau, my awesome dogs Chesney and Sue, spending time with my family and friends, playing any form of Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit, and my pink Nintendo DS, pedicures and spa-ing ( I like making my own spa products), sleeping late on weekends, Coach bags (I'm working towards a pair of shoes), Dane Cook, black flip-flops, ballet flats, saturday skirts-if you dont know, you dont have one. I love the South in general, particularly Savannah, Charleston and Pensacola Beach, which needs everyone's help and prayers right now.
I can be found at the library checking out the latest fiction and non-fiction bestsellers. I have read every Harry Potter book and stand in line for the midnight showing of the movies proudly wearing my “Insufferable Know-it-All” and “Cleverest Witch of Her Age” shirt. I’m a huge Gone with the Wind fan and have unbelieveable memorabilia, but love movies like the Goonies, Varsity Blues, Steel Magnolias, Swingers, Old School, Wedding Crashers and a recent fave Zombieland. When I’m reading blogs, writing my own, or just chilling at home, I try to catch televisions shows like Sex and the City reruns, Ghost Hunters, Deadliest Warrior, and NCIS (love that McGee).

Next time, I'll give you some professional faves. Until then...
See ya'll lata!

ONE MORE TIME, FROM THE TOP.....Lets try this again. I really am trying to blog. I have a thousand and one things to talk about and can't seem to find the time to type a post. Geez - how do some people do it? I have friends like Angie and Joe over at The Schlosser Adventures or Kendall and Jeff at News from the Neelys who have jobs, and children, and familes and still find time to post. Hats off to them!

Anyway, a lot has happened since my last post. As most of you know, I have a fabulous beau, and a super faboo job at an amazing museum in the gorgeous city in which we both reside. Fab Beau keeps the peace as a police officer and I plan events for the city's many destination weddings and tour groups. Its a good life, I have to admit! We love our little apartment (well I love it, he wants a house on a kabillion acres) just minutes from the beach, and our 2 crazy furbabies who I like to call the Pup (his 2 year old white doby) and the Grump (my 8 year old black lab whippet mix). I wont quote that crazy Gosselin clan with their "it might be a crazy life..." I prefer my Team Duggers and their "somehow we make it all work." This is true. Enough said.



When I'm not organizing caterers and rental companies, I work with a great bed and breakfast in town planning and coordinating intimate weddings. I just had a awesome 150 person event this last weekend. Bride and Groom were phe-freaking-nomenal and proved that sometimes the bigger the event, the easier it is to control. Everyone had a wonderful time and it was a really gorgeous event with great music (beatles anyone) that barely left a dry eye in the house when two bridesmaids sang Let it Be for the bride's late mother. I had to put on my sunglasses to keep my pro composure. And a big shout-out to my helpers S. and A - ya'll rocked the house and helped keep the s#!t together.



FabBeau has had a rough week. He is still in the training phase - altho he is a 'real cop' - he still rides with a traning officer for a few weeks. The first one he had was the bomb dot com, the second was eh. He was a good guy but his comments seemed to make FB doubt himself which I hate because he gets a pity party attitude which doesnt fly in our house and I worry that he will doubt himself in an important situation and end up with not-so-great results. We are favoring the guy he has now, who is quiet but keeps FB in line and on the lookout. You get those bad buys, baby!



Before I go, I haffa give props to a few blogs that have kept me together for a little bit now. It gets crazy sometimes and I like knowing that there are other people like me, such as

A Police Wife
Requesting Backup

These ladies are awesome and inspiring and awe-inspiring. Mrs Fuzz at Police Wife has kids and is married to her cop, while Requesting Backup and her copper have just moved in together following his graduation from police academy - thats more like me and Fab Beau.

I also like following lifestyle blogs mainly because they inspire me too but more to be an a very cool adult than a good and lovely police girlfriend. I'll get to those and some local blogs that I like to stalk from time to time too!

See ya'll lata!
