Goodness gracious

Hello all, Goodness gracious has the summer gotten me away from this blog. My most sincere apologies to anyone who still gives a damn. From personal life “stuff” to the desire to continue to be more fit and active I really have neglected this corner of my world. Now that all of my graduate student […]

Why Not? Wednesday: Poo-Pourri

I think this was pre-wedding, so last year. I honestly could not stop laughing. Yes, bodily functions still make me giggle a […]

Lexington is a small independent city of […]

And I am loving all kinds of fun colors this Spring. Pops of bright with classic patterns like navy and white polka dots. You cannot screw this up! […]

OOTD

Well today I am dressed down a good bit due to having to help this AM for a couple hours on a project involving sending older files to archives. Not a bad job, just a little messy. Here is my OOTD, and yes, I am still learning with Polyvore. It is fun, but tedious! (blog […]

Poll results

Well, the poll results were interesting! No one wants me to write about fashion on here (really?), and I got a majority of votes towards people who want me to write about “Life in general.” “Wedding plans” was a close second place. Thanks for those of you who voted! I hope to start recalibrating my […]
