About Me

I grew up in a very small town in Alabama in a happy home with two wonderful parents. But I never was comfortable with life in a small town, so I moved to Atlanta, GA as soon as I could. Worked in the music business for several years, but hated it. Found out that I was happier working retail and have sold everything from lingerie to movies, books and music. I married my husband, Beau, around Halloween of 2003. We have a house in an Atlanta suburb and share it with 2 fat, spoiled-rotten dogs - Teddy and Pandora. We travel whenever we have extra time and money. Favorite places to go are Las Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando (Universal Studios!) and wherever our friends happen to be.

Weekend

Beau and I went to the Masquerade on Saturday to see one of my favorite bands, Murder By Death. I really enjoyed the show, but they seemed a little tired. Odd since their tour just started. Still, the...

"We got us a reader."

A few people have asked me to recommend books lately, so I thought I'd do a book blog. Here's a few of the books I've been reading lately:"The Society of S" by Susan Hubbard - I had stopped reading va...

Party

Beau and I had a busy Saturday. I was supposed to go see a friend play at a bar in Buckhead. Something I’d been promising to do for quite awhile. I probably should have asked him what time he wa...

Movies

Beau and I have been watching movies a lot lately. Watched "Pirates Of The Caribbean: World’s End", which was, in my opinion, a convoluted mess for the most part. Maybe if I’d watched all ...

Tornado in downtown Atlanta

It’s really amazing to watch the news and see all the devastation in downtown Atlanta. It looks like a war zone. Two huge torches in Centenial Park snapped off at the base. Windows blown out of ...

The joy of retail

Beau is always amused by the customer stories I come home with every day, so I thought I'd share a few of the questions that customers have asked me recently.... "Do you have the Wrath Of Grapes?" "...
