Quick Note

Dear Self,
Your oven isn't something to be afraid of; keep trying!

Note to Self

Like practically everyone else on the planet lately, I have gotten very into Pinterest.  Although it's full of clothes I can't afford, food I'll never cook, houses I'll never build, projects I'll never finish, and workouts I'll never do, I love it anyway.  I could just browse and browse for hours!
One of the things I love most about it is finding cool notes of inspiration, or "truths," as I call them.  This is one I discovered tonight.  When my blogging lacks direction or is wholly uninspired, perhaps I'll write a few of these myself.
Tonight, for example, I might say...

Dear Self,
Don't change into what you think they want.

Cool Runnings

This vid makes me so happy on so many levels.



The obvious level?  All those Phi Mu ladies, of course.
But it doesn't end there.  This vid pumps me up for Mississippi State, and it makes my heart happy to see so many stellar Columbus folk (and a pretty good number of fellow Pats, as well) fanning the flame.
This little piece of work also makes me miss college something fierce, but I think that pretty much goes without saying.
Good luck, girls!
Phi Mu for life or die.

Weekend Update

This was such a good weekend!  Gorgeous weather, good friend, a little culture, a good movie and a lot of laughs.  Who could ask for much more?
I spent Friday night vegging out on my TV watching old episodes of Saturday Night Live and laughing my head off.  A little bit of her:


and a little bit of them:


and, well, a little more of her:


paired with a little bit of this:


made for a fun night, capped off by my favorite man in late night, of course.


Saturday I slept late then headed downtown for a delicious lunch al fresco (duck confit flatbread at The Majestic... I die) before going to see MemphisMemphis was out-of-this-world awesome; I just couldn't stop grinning like a fool when it was over!  One of my favorite things about moving to Olive Branch has been being so close to the Orpheum and getting to see so many great shows and concerts already.  If you're anywhere near Memphis and can possibly get to the Orpheum over the next week, do yourself a favor, score some tickets and go see this show.  It will knock your socks off.  Fact.


After doing a little schoolwork this afternoon, I went to see this much-hyped flick:


...and I loved it! 
To give you a little background, I've been a big Footloose fan for a pretty long while, so I knew this new movie was going to have a hard time winning me over.  I loved the movie as a teenager and was even in our senior production of the play in high school.  (Don't judge... it was awesome.)  Anyway, all that to say, I was pretty set in my Footloose ways.  This new one, however, did win me over.  Mostly due to this guy:


(Let's be honest, Kevin Bacon was never much of a looker.)
I also loved this guy, though:


And the re-worked songs were awesome.  What am I forgetting?  Oh, yeah.  The dancing, which was too legit.  Duh.


Go see it.  Whether you're already sold on it or you're a reluctant convert like myself, I know you'll love it.
Why can't the weekends last forever??
