So, the Peachtree Road Race is this weekend. I've never been a big 'runner', so I will be a spectator at this years race. I had registered just to try it, but I let my cousin take over. She's much more athletic than me. ;) So I'm happy to be a spectator. After all, it's just one of Atlanta's many traditions during the 4th of July weekend. The fan... [Read more...]

It'll be a year to date tomorrow. Can you believe it? I know that time flies, but wow.  I can honestly say that Michael Jackson will forever be one of my favorite artists. Ever since I was a kid, I've collected all of his cds/albums, and made sure to keep up with him in the news (though many times, the news was less than pleasant). And I will continute... [Read more...]

Well,... [Read more...]

I think that I'll make him a nice dinner and take advantage of some deals that they are having around the city for fathers. One option for celebrating your dad around the city is taking him to the... [Read more...]

Okay, people. We live in Georgia, and among Georgia residents, it's a fact that Georgia weather is VERY unstable. One day it's stifling hot, the next it's bitterly cold, and the next day it's snowing. We never know how to cope. But we do know one thing right now; it's HOT. Because it's so hot, we try to limit our outdoor activities as much as possible. But what... [Read more...]

This blog goes out to my ladies! With the recent 'Sex and the City 2' craze, and the summer movie season launching, I've decided to compile a list of the top 5 movies that  you should see with your gal pals. Many of them you'll have to have a Blockbuster night to see, but with popcorn, girl talk, and cosmos abound, that sounds almost as fun as a night... [Read more...]
