Favorite things:
Late nights on a crowded balcony with friends, sunshine through the clouds, dark hair and light eyes, a guy who wears a hat, rocking chairs on a front porch, dangling my feet into the water off a dock, babies laughing, the perfect bottle of wine with a nice meal, fashion, my dog(s), great friends, traveling, the ocean- the smell, the waves, the sand underneath my toes, Football-NFL, fantasy football with the guys, Golden Tee, Tiger Woods Golf, reveling in having the tiniest hands and toes on the planet, trying to hide my elf ears, dancing like the music will never stop, singing to the top of my lungs, my friends, decorating, falling in love with myself and my life and this world, running in the rain, jumping in puddles, climbing fences, climbing trees, shooting guns, cowboy boots, being a little princess, giving to others, southern accents, croakies, laughing as loud and as much as possible, junior league, volunteering, bull frogs after the rain, a new issue of vogue, a great smile, working out, my cello, haute couture,the girls next door, a PBR on a hot Southern summer afternoon, organic cigarettes on days that I just have a little Marilyn in me, my independence, photography, Savannah Georgia, cake batter flavored ice cream, sleeping in, climbing rocks in silence, meditation, using my creativity, embracing myself and who I am, and maintaining my passion for the environment.
Product Review (FTC REQUIRED) Disclaimer: Every product reviewed here, unless I personally state I paid for it was sent to me by the company in question, or their PR Firm for review. I exercise journalistic integrity and review all products from a non biased manner. I am not advertising for the company/firm or being paid for a review- though I did receive the product on a complimentary basis in exchange for review (how else would I review something I've never seen nor touched). Now on with it...
disclaimer: I sit here today, and at 23, I have absolutely NO IDEA who I definitively am. But I know what I stand for, I know what I believe. I know that there are things I did in the past that were not right, or fair. I have made mistakes. In 20 years I’ll look back at the girl sitting here with her big curly hair, ever changing passions and ideals, the dreamer, the friend, the lover and I won’t dislike her. I don’t dislike the me from the past, I merely recognize I’ve grown above and beyond and I AM NOT defined by what people might have THOUGHT about me.
I joked here before, regarding being always right. That was merely a joke. I learn on a daily basis. I value the opinions and ideals of others, but nothing will ever stop me from expressing my own. Debate and discussion is not about making someone believe or stand for your ideals. It is about expressing them, so that someone could be more enlightened to "the other side of the story". Being right is less important than being heard. Educate someone.

urbanredneck- A Little Disturbed?
snapper201:
I love this.
A blog, dedicated to me- my second in my career.
I couldn’t even get angry- all press is good press, right?
Unless you’re dealing with someone from Matthews, NC who has so much time on their hands, no ability to write coherently and obviously can’t even use the Google function to find out that: 1. I am a professional journalist, and 2. I own my own PR firm.
Additionally- they didn’t even do their research into my clusterbumble of a life. I didn’t cheat on my husband- we mutually agreed to part ways and I met Joshua- who was well, meant for me.
The reason people read about my life is because I put it out there- 100%. Its called a lifecast- I share it all. I hold nothing back.
I know, I know you want to claim I’m a “sociopath” and that I have “borderline personality disorder” etc…but if you did a little research you’d know i’m just your average gal with OCD and ADD- living my fun little life just the way I wish in Chattanooga, TN. One more great thing about my blog is that all of the individuals in my life are privy to this blog and a lot of them are a part of it- if it was a fabrication don’t you think the individuals involved would come forward?
I’m not going to address this anymore except to say find a better blog to troll. This one is nothing more than my real life.
