Congratulations, Sara!

2010 03 10 Lists of Five & Gussy.

I know…two posts in one day??  Two give-aways within 24 hours of each other?  WHAT IS THE WORLD OF BLAIR COMING TO?!  But y’all, I feel like a kid in the candy store & I’m just SO EXCITED that I can’t NOT share.  It’s like how Tiger just COULDN’T keep it in his pants, but at least this is a far more healthy expression of spreading my love.

Oh, Gussy.  Gussy has a lot to say.  & sew.

Her story is incredible.  Her ruffles are becoming legendary.  & her cheekbones are swoon-worthy.  Needless to say, I have a girl crush on Gussy & I’m willing to put money on it that you will to, once you click those links.  I also highly recommend that you follow her on Twitter to allow your girl-crush to really manifest itself properly.

In honor of Gussy, I’m stealing inspiration from a previous post of hers labeled Lists of Five.  & feel free to share your own!

  • I really have to pee.
  • My kid looks super-cute in the picture on my desk.
  • If anyone ever saw my planner, they’d think I was bonkers OCD.

Amazing, right?  Just head on over to her shop & tell me what you love best, especially which color ruffle you’d pick if you had your choice.

Good luck!

No better way to say "Good morning!" than a latte.

Is there anything better than a hot cup of coffee with wonderful girlfriends?  I think not.

4421232258 de8d79f55d o No better way to say "Good morning!" than a latte.My besties (yes, I call them “besties”) & I are notorious for Sunday morning coffee at our local Starbucks.  Sometimes babies attend, sometimes it’s just the girls (like this past Sunday).

img 3255 No better way to say "Good morning!" than a latte.Sometimes we get dirty looks from the Q-tip crowd for:
a)  pink hair
b)  hogging the good seats for 2 hours
c)  tattoos
d)  being too loud

Or maybe the dirty looks are jealousy because my friends are really ridiculously beautiful.  Even when they look serious despite the surrounding hilarity.

img 3257 No better way to say "Good morning!" than a latte.Sometimes, besties fly in from Florida for the event.  This is Heather.  She moved away a few weeks after Harrison was born & I miss her every day.

I am so not ashamed to be a “girl’s girl” & know that my girlfriends are a pillar of my life.  They send flowers when I’m down.  They hold my hand while I get my first tattoo.  They curl up with me in my office after a particularly bad therapy session & just cry.  & they keep me laughing every day, while feeding my coffee addiction.

Do you have a “tradition” with your girlfriends?  A group of “besties?”  Or do you live far away from yours?
