goodbye, ruby tuesday

 
just because flowers from my fella
 
 
brunch outfit!
 
 
my creation at the bloody mary bar
 
 
my impression of what everyone else was going to look like after St. Paddy's day
 
 
 
where everybody knows your name
 
 
a life-changing honey latte
 
WATCHING: lots of food documentaries on Netflix (enlightening but sometimes terrifying), "It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia", and My Cousin Vinny. I relate to some of the Alabama life in My Cousin Vinny, unfortunately.

READING: Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love old Fitzy. He didn't give a damn what others thought, and he had a crazy mix of being very genuine (fighting with Zelda in front of a party full of people because he was just THAT MAD) and being very fake (totally destitute but pretending to have lots of money). Sadly, the book is starting out slow, but that is probably due in part to the fact that I haven't been reading much lately.
LISTENING:  mucho Pandora. I finally figured out how to play Pandora in my car, and now I spend a lot of time creating the perfect stations so that they have just the right blend of music for the mood that I am trying to create with said playlist. Plus, it's a little more fun/frustrating than CD's because you never know what will play next!
 
WEARING: A Hook's BBQ shirt that says, BEST BUTTS IN BAMA on the back of it, black skinnies, no shoes because who wants to wear shoes with an outfit like this?
WANTING: Another honey latte. I recently took a weekend trip to Auburn to see Hannah and to unwind a little bit, and also celebrate her last semester of school being mostly over. Since she will more than likely never live in Auburn again and I will more than likely not have a need to go to the city again (at least in the foreseeable future), we decided to try out some of the things that we always said we wanted to do and never got around to. One of those decisions was to visit the Gnu's Room, a non-profit bookstore/arts center in Auburn. They have a coffee shop inside, Mama Mocha's Coffee Emporium, that I am pretty sure was worth my drive to Auburn for. Not only do they roasted their own beans and have quality coffee, but they also have some amazing lattes. I'm usually a plain coffee girl, but with offerings like the Whiskey Caramel Latte and the Honey Latte, I couldn't say no. And let me just tell you - I am in love. It was so worth it. Also, I made an offer to purchase my own home and now I am just waiting... waiting, waiting, waiting. It's killing me softly.
