When did you get your best rush of the year?

And this is where I prove how big a nerd I am.

One of the biggest rushes I got this year was from attending a social media workshop this fall. I left there buzzing with ideas, and potential, and the need to [...]

What’s the best change you made to the place you live?

I suppose this will have to pertain to my current living quarters, and not the house I sold in April.

The best change I made to the space was to bust out a comforter I’d been saving for my new [...]

The best place. A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?

I think I really embraced the idea of coffee shop working this year. I took advantage of the portability of my work, and now have favourite coffee shops in a couple of different towns. The one on the [...]

What’s rocking your world?

As soon as I head Lisztomania I was hooked. So fun. So danceable. Happy car driving music. Just awesome.

So I got the rest of the album and now Phoenix is on a permanent rotation.

That gem of a blog you can’t believe you didn’t know about until this year.

I’m totally enamored of Kimberley’s style on Fab Finds Under $50. She always looks so well put together. I suppose I could be like that – if I ever dried my hair, and knew how to accessories anything, and [...]

Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?

The best night out of the year was a bonfire on the beach here in Mississippi. AB’s coworker organized the evening in the spring, and there were [...]

What book – fiction or non – touched you?

My friend sent me The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox last summer. I didn’t know anything about it, which is kind of how I prefer to get into a book. No preconceived notions. And it was just a really good story. A story that’s [...]

What’s an article that you read that blew you away?

I first found Lesley on the Fatshionista Flickr pool, and I was inspired to invest in a dozen pairs of tights. Then I read this post on her blog. From there I found Kate Harding’s “Don’t You Realize Fat Is Unhealthy?”, and it [...]

Share the best restaurant experience you had this year. Who was there? What made it amazing? What taste stands out in your mind?

I have eaten very well this year. Tender filet at Texas de Brazil. Curried halibut in Baton Rouge. Full Basque meal at Woolgrowers.

But I think the highlight of the year [...]
