About Me

Hey y'all! So, we finally did it! Michael and I were married on Saturday, October 13, 2007! Things have finally calmed down after all the crazy wedding planning, and we are enjoying life as newlyweds. We bought a cute little house in Lugoff, out in the country (sort of). We share it with our mutts Saluda and Dixie.

Other than that, I am enjoying my job at the Department of Education, and sometimes I even enjoy my job moonlighting as a waitress. *wink* I'm also loving living near my family. They are awesome. Mom is doing well since her car accident and is improving every day. We are glad to have her home. Hospitals suck! If you'd like to check her progress or leave her a little note, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/connieturgeon. We appreciate all your love and prayers!

My Interests

Reading, writing (read my blog!), hiking, camping, karaoke (or "crack"-eoke), trying new wines and beers, expanding my collection of stolen pint glasses, hanging out with Michael, playing with my dog, Zeta Tau Alpha Columbia Alumnae chapter, shag music, Southern history, ghost stories, stand-up comedy, hilarity of any type, and the Carolina Gamecocks!
Carolina Girls! Best in the World!

"Southern girls are God's gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no woman finer than one raised below the Mason-Dixon line and once you go Southern may the good Lord help you - you never go back."

I'm also severely addicted to celebrity gossip (because I clearly have no life) and Fafarazzi. Here are the scores from my current celebrity league!

My Blog

Steve-O/K-Fed Rap Battle? Oh. Hell. Yes.

Steve-O, of Jackass and Wild Boys fame, is putting out a rap album. Apparently, urban kayaking and eating ants didn't make him feel like a big enough dipshit, so he's decided to become this gene...

"It Costs A Lot To Look This Cheap"

I've been wanting to post a new, hilarious, super awesome blog for several days now, but it's so hard to find the funny when the only thing in the news - all news it seems, not just celebrity gossip -...

Celebrity Intervention

Oh. My. God.
