Fun Road Trip to Little Rock but no win!


This past weekend, I went with my favorite MSU fans Brad & Maren to Little Rock to cheer on the Bulldogs. These two are the BEST and always invite me to be the third wheel wherever they go. When we got in town, we went to meet up with Maren's parents and several of their friends at the Flying Saucer. We had a ton of fun with them...they were hilarious! Afterwards, we went to Sticky Fingerz to hear Outformation . We didn't stay long since we had to rest up for the big game the next day.

We left the hotel at 9:15am to have plenty of time to get to the stadium...boy, were we cutting it close! Traffic was horrendous, parking was $20, the parking area happened to be a golf course and it was a huge mess. If you have never been to this game, you MUST go! I have never seen so many true rednecks in my entire life. I will have to post pictures of these people later.  From what my friends from Arkansas tell me, you will not see this in Fayetteville, only in Little Rock.  The ballgame was UP & DOWN and UP & DOWN some more.....the joys of being a Bulldog fan. As you already know, we lost which is always hard.

So in true BULLDOG fashion, we held our heads up high and kept on going. We left the game and headed back down to the Riverfront. We started out at Sticky Fingerz to eat and then went to the Underground Pub to meet up with Maren's parents & their friends again to watch the Rebels and Tigers. WOW-what a game! After the game, we went back to Sticky Fingerz to hear the Dirty Dozen which is one of my favorite bands. One of my college friends, Molly Carson lives in Little Rock.  We met up with her and her friends and were able to share a table with them. What an awesome weekend in Little Rock even though we didn't come home with a win....maybe we can pull it out this weekend!

Me and ET from Dirty Dozen...it's been awhile since I've ran into him but he still remembers me as Smillie's friend...he is a MESS!!

STATE vs. BAMA weekend in God's Country (#2 to Corinth, of course)


Another awesome weekend in Starkvegas with the Bulldogs!  Here are a few pics to recap the fun time had by many.

Me and Grace with Baby George...so good to  FINALLY hang out with them.  He stole my heart instantly, even with the slobber and boogies.  Grace told me I would be a great mom since I wiped it up with my pashmina, haha. 

I was so happy that my roomie traded the Rebs to come to Starkville.  I think she secretly had more fun:)


Me, Grace and Beth tailgating before the game.  We were so excited that Beth chose her alma mater over the Rebs....she LOVES her Bulldogs!


Me with my tailgate gals, Maren and Mandy.  We LOVE our awesome tailgate and the scrumptious Bulldogtini's!


This little man has his Aunt Sara wrapped around his little finger!


I heart Dan the Man!!


Me with two of my best friends.  Hill and I were ecstatic that Lyndsey came to town.  She'll admit, being married to a Rebel fan is hard and so she had to come back to her roots...I think she was quickly reminded just how much she loves and misses it.  Maybe we can convert Luther into a Bulldog?  That would be VERY hard!


Me and Hill with Ontario Harper. This was just the beginning of my "star struck weekend."


To me, this place is just like Heaven!  So sad it's almost over.


Me and Maren with Jamar Chaney (yes, we stalked out the field house and waited on the players to come out..we're a little obsessed!)


Me and Beth with Tyson Lee...such a nice and great guy!  And yes, he is not very tall:)


Me: Anthony Dixon, will you please take a picture with me? 
Anthony Dixon: Girl, you want your picture, you got your picture
I will really appreciate this one day when he is famous and playing in the NFL!

A great time in Natchez for a dear friend's wedding






Two weeks ago (Nov. 7th,) I had the honor of attending one of my dear friend's wedding in Natchez.  I have known Jason McNeel for ten years and his new bride for three.  Ever since I met Joanna Biglane, we have been great friends.  She is one of the most sincere and caring people I know.  Long story short, I kinda played a part in them working out so this wedding was very special to me.  Joanna looked absolutely gorgeous and Jason was handsome as always.  They are SO in love and extremely happy and it showed every minute of the night.  Their reception was at the Dunleith and it was beautiful.  The Houserockers from Schimmel's played and the food was extremely tasty!  

Earlier that day, I drove down with several of my good friends, Maren, Brad and Jon Mark.  We went to a cool bar, The Tavern, to watch the LSU vs. BAMA game.  I shared a room at the EOLA with Brad and Maren so just as every time we're together, we had a great time!

Congrats to the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Jason McNeel!!!  I love you both dearly.

I have finally caved in.....






Well...I have finally caved in and started a blog.  Yes, I know that I am single, not married and do not have children BUT I live a pretty fun and interesting life and figured why not start my own blog.  I love keeping up with all of my friends and their wonderful lives and I hope that you enjoy keeping up with mine as well.  For me, I am getting ready to wrap up shop and head to my 2nd favorite place on earth....STARKVILLE, MS aka home of the MSU BULLDOGS.  I have attended numerous MSU football games but never one quite like the MSU/FL game.  All I can say is ELECTRIC!  I cannot wait to be in the Junction first thing in the morning to enjoy lots of wonderful company, great tailgate food, the arrival of the coaches and players, the smell of the grills all around, constant ringing of cowbells and more than anything, the excitement of the fans and players when we host Alabama.  I can only imagine what's its going to be like tomorrow night...Florida game intensified by 100.  Life does not get much better than that.  Have a great weekend and GO DAWGS!
