This Love Ain't Free
Prior to breaking me down to the point that I lose all common sense and cave, therefore agreeing to be in a relationship being my significant other there are a few things you should know:
- We will be watching Almost Famous, The Royal Tennenbaums, and Pulp Fiction TWICE every time they are screened. Once without Director Commentary, once with.
- To the idiot naked eye, me sans make up might...

Naughty Question
I’m not sure if this is appropriate AT ALL, Tumblr….but I need to ask you a question. Because I’m at a bit of an impasse and clearly, I turn to you. Ok, so it’s a little dirty and personal…ok, pulling off the band aid:
Do you text dirty/dirtyish photos to your significant other?

True Confession Tuesday
Someone told me they were in love with me today.

Guys.
There’s this guy who incessantly tries to get in my pants dude who I am repulsed by not interested in, in the least.
WELP, said guy plays guitar and has begun frequenting open mic nights (I know because he invites me). He ALSO sends me recordings of him SINGING and playing guitar. And while the guitar is fine, the vocals are HORRIBLE. I mean BADDDD.
Now he’s asking for feed...

I won’t give you the play by play of my trip…I will tell you THIS. Phoenix is, without a doubt, the prettiest city I’ve visited in the US. I love me some California but Arizona is holding their shit DOWN.
So, they let me PICK whichever rental I wanted and I must have blacked out or something ‘cause all of the sudden I was on hwy 10 in THIS:

BEST morning ever.
Second day in Phoenix, AZ I had no meetings until after Noon. I woke up early (thanks EST internal clock) around 5am and got some work done and decided I’d order room service and crawl back into bed. After my eggs, TOBASCO, bacon, and hashbrowns arrived, I arranged the EIGHT!!!! (score) pillows on the bed, saddled up with my tray and reached for the remote.
GOOD NEWS! At 7am in Arizona,...

Truths from PHX
- Four days without Tumblr is nearly unbearable.
- I need each of you to message me a summary of your week, as not to fall behind.
- I MAY never leave Phoenix. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I’m at resort, in the middle of the desert, surrounded by mountains, having my breath taken constantly.
- I gambled at my first Casino this week...

February Photo Challenge - 21 (favorite photo)
Not super wonderful OF me…but a favorite. At tailgate, in the fall, pulling for NC State, wearing “Spirit Finger” gloves, giving double GO PACK fingers, and wearing a WOLF HAT. All that in black and white. It’s happiness in a photo.

Phoenix or BUST!
So I leave tomorrow bright and early (read: 6am take off) for Phoenix, AZ. I’ve never been. It IS for business so I only have about a half day to myself (if that). Is there anything I MUST SEE/DO? I knew Tumblr would know!
What is on my Phoenix bucket list?

Coworker: Sorry 'bout last night, yo. Go Duke!
Me: Go Duke? WTF...you moved here 9 months ago...what do you care about Duke? Go pull for Rutgers or something.
Coworker: Nah nah...I love Duke. My uncle went there for a year.
Me: 'Scuse me?
Coworker: Yeah, I'm a big fan...cause my uncle.
Me: Yeah well, MY uncle served in 'Nam.
Coworker: So?
Me: Exactly! You don't see me telling people I'm a Veteran, do ya?

False (Love) Alarm
I don’t hate Valentines Day, I REALLY don’t. I think people go a little overboard but hey, I love love just as much as the next guy. I also like to play the role of the quintessential “cool girl” who doesn’t care if she gets JACK on February 14th. THAT SAID, I’ve been secretly hoping that SOMEONE would get a clue and take care of the fact that no matter...

On Being the Daughter of a Southern Lady
There are a few transgressions that just aren’t allowed when you were raised by a woman with “the bigger the hair the closer to the Lord” mentality. Don’t get me wrong, my mother has adapted to the times and scaled it back. (Read: ordered by the Government to reduce aerosol use due to ozone holes directly over Winston-Salem, NC). I digress; here are a few “No,...
