Intellectual snob

I'll be the first to admit, I can sometimes be somewhat of an intellectual snob. Not that I mean I am smarter than anyone else, actually I think the opposite. In fact, I follow a somewhat fake-it to make-it theory in life and I heavily rely on Google to supplement my knowledge. Yet, recently I meet more and more people who are lacking in classical literature knowledge. I'm not saying you should be well versed to the point of arguing the Truman Capote vs. Harper Lee authorship of To Kill a Mockingbird (if you are clueless, Google it), but when the individual I was conversing with had NO IDEA who the author stated on the cover of To Kill a Mockingbird is and who wrote The Great Gatsby, I almost had a cow. Literally. We're from the SOUTH-Alabama to be more specific. These are AL writers. If you can name the past five UA or Auburn coaches, but can't name one AL writer, I would recommend following the fake-it 'til you make-it theory. Or just head over to Amazon to stock up on a few classic novels.

Or better yet, if you used Cliff Notes or Spark Notes to survive high school, exercise your brain and check out the 100 Best Novels List. I'll be wagging my copy of The Age of Innocence on all my summer road trips.

Wedding mania

To say that the next few months are filled with wedding madness is the understatement of 2011. People, Drew and I will attend/be in EIGHT weddings, one of which is ours, in the next FIVE months. I'm so excited that so many good friends are getting married, but I'm already tired just thinking about the hours I will spend in dresses and high heels.

My good friend/sorority sister over at Sweet Georgia Belle posted about the new Anthropologie wedding line. She loves it...I was let down. I expected something so much more from my dear Anthro. I seriously had a countdown on my Google calendar for the website release. I was really worried I would regret my bridesmaid dress decision for our June wedding once I saw the adorable Anthro frocks. At least I can say that I still love my Lula Kate bridesmaid dresses as much as ever.

Happy Valentines!

This is my LAST Valentine's as an unmarried lady! I think I'm just a little excited.

The accounting nerd in me got really excited that I will no longer check the "single" box when doing my taxes. It's the little things in life, right?

Slacker

So, I'm a HUGE blog slacker. Somehow, one of my favorite things seems to always be pushed to the end of my never-ending "to-do" list.

This past weekend, the hubby-to-be and I ventured to downtown Nashville to a Dave Ramsey conference. We learned SO much! My brain is still buzzing. You should check him out. I'm not saying his methods of madness are perfect, but he has a message that works. He'll even say he stole all his wisdom from God and your grandmother (both great sources!).
