Day 36/365: Pangea Swag

I have such an addiction to the jewelry Angie makes. I already have a ring I bought from her a couple of years ago, and I have relied on her for more than a few birthday and Christmas gifts for friends. I have lusted after those earrings for months and months now, and then when I saw the yellow butterfly necklace, EVERYTHING GOT BLURRY and before I knew it, I was clicking buttons with wild…

Day 28/365: Live From Memphis

We attempted a night out last night. I had gotten a field report early on from the Live From Memphis 10th anniversary party, saying it was super crowded, so we diverted to the very new Bar None for drinks and a snack (duck sausage roll: A+, bleu cheese potato skins: B), and waited for the crowd to thin out a smidge. We strolled up to the loft at 11ish and ducked in for a minute,…

Day 27/365: The Food Blogger in Action

Had a tasty lunch at Fuel with Lesley. There was vegetarian meatloaf, applewood bacon, hot tea and baked brie. Ahhhhh, the luxury of getting out of the house. [Project 365]
