Almost Time For Football - Really???

Happy Monday! Today I'm off on a road trip to parts north. I am very excited and am planning to meet a friend for lunch in Atlanta on the way. In my opinion, one of the best things about having lived in several different cities is having friends all over the place. 


On Friday, it finally hit me - it's almost time for football season. WOW. Where has the summer gone? Preseason NFL football games were on television this weekend. Our first Alabama game is on September 3 in Tuscaloosa. Labor Day weekend is looking pretty crazy around here, with the travel to T-town on Saturday and the Kid Rock concert on Monday. 


I love football season and enjoy both the college and professional level games. Heck, I even like attending a high school football game. As a teenager, there wasn't much more exciting than the anticipation of a game against a rival school on Friday night. (Well, maybe the parties afterwards, haha). 




Are you also looking forward to football season? What are your favorite teams? My favorite college team is (obviously) Alabama - my favorite NFL team is the Dallas Cowboys. I also have a "soft spot" for the New Orleans Saints and consider them my second favorite NFL team. 


Who will you be pulling for this year? 


Have a Marvelous Monday! 


p.s. Beginning on Tuesday, I will be blogging from the road and updating you on all the fun in the big city of Charlotte!

    I totally agree that living in different places will give us a lot of real friends. That's one of the advantages. On the other side, i don't like the hassle of transferring or relocating.

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
