Shopaholic in Alabama

As you all know from yesterday's post, we are now in Dallas and anxiously awaiting the Michigan vs. Alabama match-up tomorrow night at Cowboys Stadium. There are tons of people here, both Bama and Michigan fans.  Here are some of our photos from yesterday. After arriving in Dallas, we spent several hours at the stadium and in the pro shop mixing with other people in town for the game. We had a blast and here's the proof! (and proof of my purchases - but they're not all for me, at least one of those hats is for the DH) We also enjoyed a wonderful dinner out and we might have a few extra bags with us...ha! More on that dinner later! :-)  Are you also enjoying college football this weekend? Which games are you planning to watch?

It's Christmas Eve - which seemed like a perfect time to share my Lilly Pulitzer-inspired and Football tree with you!   These are small 4' trees that were pre-lit with clear lights. Last year, I used a much smaller pink tree for the Lilly ornaments, but my collection has grown so much that I had to get a larger size. This tree is a mixture of ornaments that are either Lilly Pulitzer or "Lilly inspired" (think pink, green, preppy). Hope you enjoy the photos.  The "football tree" is a mixture of ornaments from our favorite college and NFL teams - Alabama and the Dallas Cowboys. It's the same size tree as the Lilly-inspired tree. Merry Christmas Eve!  p.s.  Tracy Negoshian giveaway winners will be drawn later today, and then announced. Please be sure to check back! 

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 ...
