to put it mildly, i am obsessed with UT football… not the kind of fan who simply cheers for the team when they’re doing well and is all about an SEC Championship team, but i’m the person who loves them win OR lose–for this season, we’ll point the fingers to the L side a bit–but we’ve […]

Plus, they have great fashion and my used-to-be favorite character […]

It’s almost time…tomorrow Jeff and I are on our way to the California Coast to visit his aunt, uncle, and grandmother in sunny Los Angeles. The last time I visited southern Cali, I was 16 years old, so needless to say it’s been awhile. Whenever I visit the west coast, it’s like I am venturing […]
