My Tattoo

My new tattoo is a pilcrow sign, the symbol to designate a new paragraph. It's located on my right wrist and will serve as a reminder that I can always have new beginnings, friendships, interests, ideas, and fresh starts wherever, whenever - that I can always start new paragraphs and chapters in my life.


P.S. Thanks to Ashley, Angelle, & Jeff for coming with me to get it!

My Favorite Place (the actual place)

I have just discovered my new favorite place in Atlanta. And coincidentally, it's called My Favorite Place. It's a a vintage store, or should I say vintage warehouse, filled with fabulous finds all at incredibly reasonable prices. It's located on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. near the car dealerships in an area called Antique Row. Check it out, even if it's simply for inspiration.

Top 20 Countdown

I plan to create a mini billboard chart of my favorite music of the moment and do this every so often to keep my blog fresh and interesting. As my taste in music keeps evolving, so will my blog.

Hazel hearts Hilton Head

Hazel's first trip to the beach!

Hilton Head Island, SC April 2009

What happens in Vegas, gets posted on my blog.

In addition to my trip to New York, I also spent a few days of my spring break in Las Vegas. My close group of friends from college headed out to Sin City for a weekend of glitz, glam, and debauchery (aka Valerie's Bachelorette Weekend). Needless to say, I am completely broke, but did come back with some interesting stories and great memories, well, from what I can remember. Here are some pictures from Disneyland for Adults.

another fabulous New York trip

Last week, I went to New York to visit friends, check out a few advertising agencies, and play in Williamsburg and the city. Here are a few highlights.

Swimming Pool at PS1

Crumbs (so delicious, we went twice!)

5 Pointz (aka the Graffiti Mecca)

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge

Carrie Bradshaw's Apt (well, her fake apt)

Winning Bingo and a round of Tequila shots for my table at Tortilla Flats
