Headed North

My best friend and I hopped on a plane today and headed to Columbus, Ohio to visit my mother.  We left ninety degree record temperatures in Dallas.  So crazy for the first day of November!  We got off the plane and it was forty here, so I'm glad that I packed nothing but sweaters and boots.  The leaves here have already turned and the Buckeyes are loud and proud.  We have planned a quick weekend of outlet shopping and thrifting/consignment shopping, along with a visit to the Annie Leibovitz exhibit at Ohio State.  Looking forward to sharing our adventures with you guys before we head back on Sunday.

Blast from the Past

We've all had those encounters where we see someone from our past unexpectedly.  It makes your heart skip a beat for a second and then a very strange feeling comes over you.   Whether it's an enemy, an old friend, or an ex, you are never quite prepared for it.  That happened to me yesterday evening and it was completely unexpected.  I'm just glad that the I could look within myself and say that I am proud of who I am now, proud of where I came from, and proud that I don't have to look back.  I was also proud that I stopped by home before I went out in order to freshen up and looked pretty dang hot ;)
