Kentucky Football
I know I mentioned we were going to the UT game last weekend - which we did - but I am always going to be a 100% Kentucky fan and I was SO excited to see all of the score updates with Kentucky leading South Carolina - and AT South Carolina! Luckily the UT game started about an hour and a half before the UK game so when we got home after the game, I was able to watch the end and watch UK seal the deal! If you aren't a Kentucky fan, you might not understand the excitement, but let me tell you just how exciting it is that we beat South Carolina - it was the first time since 2009 that Kentucky had won a road SEC game. 2009 - as in SIX years ago. Let's see if we can pull off another win this weekend against Florida! GO GATS!Travel Pro
This is the third, yes third weekend in a row that we are heading to Knoxville. Before that we'd also gone to Hilton Head for a week, and after this weekend, we only have one "break" weekend before we're on the road again. This pretty much par for the course for us during football season, and now with what feels like a gazillion wedding appointments, but I have really turned into a travel/packing pro at this point. (except that I didn't unpack from last week until right before I was packing for this weekend - oops) Plus, I feel a lot more justified in buying all of those super cute matching Vera Bradley items!Do y'all have any tricks or tips for being on the go all the time?
Dirty Guv'nahs
Y'all. The Dirty Guvs are retiring and I am so sad! They are a band out of Knoxville, and we saw them for the first time New Years Eve 2013, and then again soon after when they just happened to be playing a show here. A couple of months ago they announced they were "retiring" and would have a few final shows. Originally their only show near us was going to be next Friday in Knoxville, and we just knew that we couldn't get down there in time on a Friday. Then they announced a second show (!) for this weekend, and on Saturday - so of course we did our best to get tickets and were successful! I am really looking forward to the concert tomorrow night and so excited we'll get to see them one more time!Monogram Mania
I'm on the Reese Witherspoon train of thought - "If it's not moving, monogram it." My shirts, my shoes, my computer, my phone, you get the idea. However, I am also just as aware that not everyone shares the same love for monograms as I do. As I'm thinking abot the different gifts that I want to get my bridesmaids it is taking all that I have in my to resist having monograms on every. single. one. What are your thoughts on monograms??
Guilty Pleasure - Real Housewives
Confession time. Watching the Real Housewives of Orange County with a glass of wine in my hand is the best part of my Mondays. Please tell me I'm not alone on this.
Have a great weekend, y'all! GO CATS!

I love a good monogram. I definitely think bridesmaids gifts monogrammed are a-okay :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'm glad you agree, I mean who doesn't love a monogram??
DeleteMonograms are great, but I would go with just the first initial... seems a bit more universal?
ReplyDeleteAs for packing, I started keeping a mini-toiletry bag in my weekender. I don't have to worry about anything other than grabbing my glasses now because it has a dedicated toothbrush/deoderant/contact stuff/etc. I also bought a second cell phone charger to keep in there. It just makes packing so much less hectic!
Keeping an extra phone charger is a great idea! That always seems to be the last thing I pack and naturally the first thing I forget!
DeleteI am an over packer but am getting better! As I age, I realize what I really will and won't use. Thirty-One bags help too. :) I am starting to really appreciate monogramming too! Am a fellow Kentucky girl and am stopping by from Five on Friday. Am you newest follower. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and following! Oh, I am such an over packer! Luckily for these weekend trips it means I still have plenty of room, although I usually take bag that would be sufficient for an entire week!
DeleteI say monogram it all girl! LOL! My bridal party (bridesmaids and house party) are getting monogrammed chambrays, clutches, wine glass, pilsner glass and in addition my bridesmaids are getting monogrammed pajamas. Classic items that will be used more than the one day they're intended for :)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently planning on monogrammed button downs, a make up case - maybe monogrammed, maybe not, monogrammed hanger for the dress, a monogrammed jewelry dish, and wine glasses - also probably monogrammed!
DeleteI own nothing monogrammed. Not one thing! No one really monograms things here in Philly but I think it's so cute! Maybe I need to be a trendsetter here! :) Hope you had a fun weekend!
