Oh, Anthony, I'm gonna miss you.

I haven't even watched this week's episode of Project Runway, but now I don't think I want to. ANTHONY gets kicked off! How sad! He is the only good thing going for this season (other than Tim G., as usual). When I looked at the runway shots, this decision just did not make sense. Anthony's dress was nothing special, but it looked way better than most of his competitor's garmets (ahem, Mila-Jonathan-Seth Aaron). Anthony's closing statement: "You don't have to have the crown to be the queen." Oh, Anthony, how I am going to miss your honesty, wisdom, and humor. Come back to reality TV one day, puh-leese!


Anthony's dress--he's really out? PR, shame on you.



Mila's dress--She was safe?



Jonathan's ensemble--he was safe?


Seth Aaron--why do the judges keep him?

Helen Mirren is Awesome--Evidently men agree!

Esquire is currently holding their March Madness--Sexiest Women contest. #1 Ranked, Megan Fox is currently losing to #16 Helen Mirren! I love Helen Mirren. She is an amazing actress (especially, in those period pieces like The Queen). She is so classy. And, she deserves this win! Polls currently show Mirren with 58% of the vote. It may not be an overwhelming win (or win at all since the contest is still going on), but it definitely makes me happy to see such a close race. Go Helen!

Spring is nearly here!

Well, the weather is finally perking up a little...Just in time for my busy schedule to commence. Regarding my previous post, I think some time in Nashville to focus on my life and where it is heading could do me some good, but, at the same time, I have not taken a real vacation in nearly a year. I haven't been anywhere new in ages, and I am excited for the changes in scenery I am about to experience in the next few months. The only thing about all the travel is that I start to feel like I am never caught up on stuff at home....and that makes for some stressful work weeks. Oh well, for once, I am going to try my best to focus on the fun that I am going to have and try not to be so worrisome!

I don't think I am exaggerating on the packed schedule--basically this is what it comes down to: 2 weekends at home in until the beginning of June.

March 26-28: Mini Pi Phi reunion in ATL
April 2-4: Easter Weekend with the fam
April 16-24: Trip to Baltimore and DC with Mom
May 1-2: Derby Weekend with Christy and Sarah
May 8-9: Mother' Day, most likely to be spent in Jackson
May 21: Monteagle weekend with the boys, cutting it short to come back to Nashville on Sat.
May 22: James Taylor/Carole King concert with Mom and 4 of her friends!
May 28-31: Memorial Day weekend, no plans yet but I am sure I will find major plans!

One weird thing is that I have only been to Atlanta maybe twice in my lifetime, and each time was either passing through or a one night stay. I am really excited to go back with friends and stay for a weekend! I am also super pumped for my trip to DC and Baltimore. I have never been to either place, and going to DC has been a long-time dream of mine. Any of you that know me realize that I will love the culture and history it has to offer. I hope I can fit everything in while I'm there! Anyway, that is just a little flash into my Spring--I hope you all have as much to look forward to--or at least some relaxing time at home!!

When will I find my "Place in this World"?

I randomly heard the Michael W. Smith song, Place in this World, this morning on the radio. While his voice makes me cringe a little on this song, the lyrics candidly echo how I have been feeling during the last six months or so.

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled

A heart that's hopeful
I head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems

Feels like I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' for the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me

Hear me asking
Where do I belong?
Is there a vision
That I can call my own?

Show me, I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Perfect Strangers Anniversary!

The sitcom, Perfect Strangers, debuted on March 25, 1986. So, today is the show's 24th anniversary! I really miss Balki. He was such a joyful soul. I can still hear him say, "Well, of course not, don't be ridi-cool-us!" I still remember watching this show on TGIF in the basement of my grandparents house. Good Times!

Nashville's "Naked People" Statue must be Irish.

Check out this video from the Tennessean. The Musica statue, commonly referred to by Nashvillians as the Naked People Statue, was mysteriously adorned with kilts for St. Patty's Day. Pretty funny. My sources say this must be a publicity stunt by Dan McGuiness to increase their patronage tonight.

Oscars 2010

I was pretty impressed by the fashion on the red carpet this year at the Oscars. I didn't think anyone looked just horrible. I do have a few personal favorites, though.

My favorite, and first place: Rachel McAdams

I love this soft muted print, and I think it looks so good with her skin tone and blonde hair. I love the silhouette, too. This is definiely a dress that I would pick for myself. I thought this dress really stood out on a carpet of silver, gold, and nudes this year.

Second place: Sandra Bullock

The gold looked great on her, the shape of the dress made her body look amazing, and her hair and makeup were perfect. I absolutely LOVED the lipstick and the hair.

Third place: Anna Kendrick

This softly flowing gown in a blush tone was so pretty and fresh. She said this dress was a last minute change, and I think she definitely made the right decision.

Honorable mention #1: Gabourey Sidibe

She has looked great every time she has hit the red carpet, but this look was the best yet.

Honorable mention #2: Miley Cyrus

Unlike Gabby, Miley rarely hits the mark on the red carpet. This year, I really liked her look, and I think her golden dress really flattered her figure and showed her personality. HOWEVER, it looked like she was slumping over all night. Was she afraid if she stood up straight that her boobs would pop out? The dress wasn't that low cut on her. I'm not sure why she felt the need to hunch over the entire night, but it was really annoying.
