Ready, Set, Go!!!!

So yesterday Atlanta hosted the Red Bull Soapbox Race for the second time (previously held here in 2009). Oh and what a race it was! Before yesterday my only soapbox "experience" was watching the most recent "The Little Rascals" remake about 15 years ago. Nonetheless that little (pun intended) taste was enough to get me intrigued about yesterdays extravaganza. So at about 10 am yesterday I gathered my Jimmy and some refreshments and headed to Piedmont Park for some suntanning and some man powered fun. Highlights of the day:

1) Picking the winner
2) Eye Candy
3) Seeing my Wesley at Metrofresh
4) Watching a very drunk guy do backflips
5) Cute EMT at the First Aid Tent
6) Meeting some of the racers and the Red Bull Girls
7) Clouds and wind throughout the sunny day
8) My tan that lasted about 5mins after about 6 hours in the sun
9) Chocolate Sea Salt Popsicle courtesy of King of Pops
10) Free event
11) Sexual innuendo at a family event

Lowlights:

1) The nasaly voice of the kid behind me
2) Watching a very drunk guy do sit-ups for no reason
3) Long lines at the Food Trucks
4) The viewing screen flickering like an old school antenna TV
5) My tan that lasted about 5mins after about 6 hours in the sun
6) Not getting a Red Bull Checkered Flag
7) Remembering the Vodka after arriving at the Park

Glad to see that my highs outweighed my lows. Next stop on the tour this year is Dallas-Fort Worth.....so my lovely blogger world if you are in that area....you should gather the gang and go hang!! Until next post.....laters



BTW: The winner for this years race was my next door neighbor, pride of Atlanta and perpetual watering hole......Sweetwater Brewery (Couldn't leave you guys in suspense)

Here we go again!

Another holiday season is upon us! Another time were I am torn about how much I spend versus how much I save. Bah humbug. Alas hopefully I will have several epiphanies before December 14th.

Just gotta be me

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family. It's time for me to venture out into to the world with the training they have given me and do my own thing...therefore I'm getting a tattoo...this is just a sign of my personal growth and freedom..God forbid my parent trip but like I said this isn't about rebelling it's about doing ME

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
