Good Morning Darlings!

Whether you have the “dictator”, the “micro-manager”, the “miracle” or the “friend” type of boss, you have definitely earned a day and a very large cocktail to reflect and celebrate National Boss Day on October 17th.

Not much longer til Happy Hour!

Break out the sweaters and let’s sit by the fireplace. When I think cozy luxury, you know I am talking about The Ritz-Carlton.

They have so many fun treats in store for you!

 

The Walking Dead is BACK!

Written by Patti on 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!

The Ritz-Carlton – Let Us Stay With You

Written by Patti on October 8th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Are you just waking up? Or are you at the breakfast nook with a cup of coffee?

I like to spend Saturday morning daydreaming. Some folks daydream in black & white. I daydream in Ritz-Carlton blue.

What am I dreaming of?
