The Walking Dead is BACK!

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Gracious, I love the zombies! Everything about zombies – their cute gray/green skin, that adorable vacant look in their red eyes, their sing-song voices calling for brains. I just want to cuddle them all.

So…it’s no surprise that I am a dyed in the wool fan of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Season Two starts on Sunday and leave it to the hometown of the Walkers to throw a killer (no pun intended) party for its return. Eric and I have been re-watching Season One all week to get us revved up for this season. Eeek! So excited!

Oh, you love them, too? Then join me at Deisel this Sunday for this awesome party. It is sure to be outstanding!

Deets inside!

Football Fun With Swoozie’s!

Good Morning Darlings!

It’s Thursday, so that means it is almost time for Saturday football! In my opinion, college ball rules, especially the SEC.

Anything that makes yelling at the television more fun is what I need!

See my new football season crush inside!

Good Morning Darlings!

Our swell friends Nicky & Katruska and Ben & Maura joined us for dinner last night. The plan was to discuss a Holiday Survival Class we want to put together for you.

So, how did that work out?

Emmy Emmy Emmy!

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

You all know how much I love an awards show. The Oscars are like Christmas to me, so the Emmys must be Thanksgiving! Yippee! And you know I have to have some fabu cocktails to quaff while hollering at the television – don’t fib, you know you do it, too. This year besties John & Holly will be on the red couch with me, critiquing the gowns and hairstyles, so it has got to be good.

My friend, Kate, from NYC, sent me the most delicious ideas. Kate, you think of everything!

What are Kate and I mixing up for Emmy Night?
