15 Confessions
It’s time for another 15 confessions!
- I think about quitting everything every day.
- I actually wasn’t planning to do #bloglikecrazy this year until people started telling me how much they were looking forward to it.
- I love superhero movies and TV shows because I’m convinced I have special powers.
- When complete strangers call me sweetie I want to punch them in the throat to show them just how sweet I am.
- If I were 21 I’d try out for the WWE Women’s division.
- I eat like a frat boy some days.
- I curse like a sailor most days.
- I got 99 bobby pins, but I can’t find one.
- I hate Christmas.
- I don’t like surprises.
- People always ask me how I got to be as confident as I am, but I’m actually insecure about almost everything I do.
- I have probably seen every single episode of Law & Order SVU and NCIS.
- I feel closer to God when I go running than when I go to church.
- I think I’ve gained back nearly every pound I lost this summer.
- I, too, wonder, Do white people have cousins?

How to Slay Your Day
Yesterday sucked.
Not only did Alabama lose the Iron Bowl, but my refrigerator died and hubs and I had to spend LOTS of money to buy a new one (which we won’t get for 10 days).
Since my weekend was off to such a terrible start, I was sure all of it would be a bust, but I woke up this morning and just starting slaying my to-do list!
Even if you didn’t have to spend your Saturday night shopping for expensive appliances, you may be in a bad mood today because you’ve had some extra time off for Thanksgiving and tomorrow you have to go back to the daily grind. Well, I want to give you my top five tips for slaying your day so you can go into this work week with confidence.
Happy Iron Bowl Saturday
Happy Iron Bowl Saturday!
Today is about much more than watching my alma mater, the University of Alabama, face its biggest rival, Auburn University.
It also means hosting my annual Iron Bowl party complete with my barbecue meatballs and Rotel dip, my cousin’s buffalo chicken dip, my aunt’s rice pudding and some fruits and veggies so I won’t feel as bad about myself.
But most of all it’s about hanging out with family members like my cousin, Tasha, who’s also an alum, is like the sister I never had and is one of my very best friends.
Roll Tide!
What are your plans for the weekend?

What made me a happy feminist this week? Being featured as a Bama Boss Babe by Sleepover Media.
Sleepover Media began by hosting events that quickly became dubbed as Birmingham’s “best girls’ night out” but grew into a local boss babe collective seeking to amplify the voices of women in the arts, entertainment, fashion, beauty, and business.
One way the women of Sleepover Media are setting out to celebrate local lady bosses is through their Bama Boss Babe video series. It was an honor to be featured in the latest edition.
