Drama Drama Drama




I know the hype was centered around the Kanye West/Taylor Swift drama at last night's Video Music Awards, but can we please for a moment turn our attention to Lady Gaga? Now, I like to consider myself one who is "into" fashion, but I will never for the life of me understand her choice of attire for the occasion. Performance art? I sure hope so!

Bohemian Rhapsody




I want these pieces to be the inspiration for my next outdoor gathering! I love the bright colors, a twist of bohemian and 60's mod...I can see the spoons tossing a large spinach and strawberry salad and burgers being served on the platter! A gathering of friends around the table, enjoying good food and soft candlelight through the birdcage lantern...ahh, summer, you are my favorite time of year!

Life...



Things have really picked up this fall. Between running Jesus Christ Superstar at the Boiler Room Theatre in Franklin, being cast in Clue, settling in to life as a newlywed, and trying to plan my next step, things have been a little chaotic! Looking forward to getting back to being blonde, broke and fabulous!!

"I'm So Excited!"


As many of you know, I am an avid magazine junkie, and every Thursday afternoon/Friday morning, I run to the Walgreens on the corner and pick up my weekly jewels. As of late, I have been very disappointed with the over-exposure of Jon & Kate, or Jessica Simpson's love life, but this past Friday, my heart smiled when I walked in, turned down the magazine aisle and gasp! saw my pre-teen idols plastered on the front of People magazine. That's right, Saved by the Bell is back!

According to People Magazine, the gang's back together and a reunion is in the works. The article interviews each of the show's main characters, doing a quick recap on their favorite SBTB moment and character quirks. According to Elizabeth Berkley, who played brainiac Jessie Spano, "it feels like we just picked up where we left off."


But one main characted was not featured in the People spread: ever-lovable Screech, played by the norotious Dustin Diamond. Although SBTB put Diamond and Screech on the map, it's been his erractic array of Reality TV appearances and pornography videos that have followed him in the years following Bayside High. He is even allegedly writing a Saved by the Bell tell-all. Is former best friend Zack, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar, worried?? "Nah? What can he say? That we were banging groupies at 14?...It's entertaining, but it's sad."

I, for one, can't wait for this little gem to come to fruition! In the words of Miss Spano herself, "I'm So Excited!"

I've died and gone to Bentley heaven







So I've never understood the Bentley obsession, UNTIL....

...this car was parked outside of Sambucca Saturday night! Am I allowed to start asking for Christmas presents in July?? ;)

Everything's bigger in Texas




Today I officially begin training for my next goal, the San Antonio Marathon! I have a 16-week training guide that I hope will prepare me for race day, and I pray the conditions are better than the Chicago Marathon I ran in 2007! These are just a few photos of what I can only hope to see on my 26.2-mile trek to the finish line!
