JT.

In elementary and middle school I had a bit of an unhealthy obsession with *NSYNC.  Once I even listened to their music for almost four hours straight on a flight to California.  I know, crazy!  

In 4th Grade *NSYNC was my first concert.  My mom and my two best friends mom's planned the trip and surprised us the afternoon of the concert.  We had no idea!  They picked us up early from school and when we got to the car their was a huge *NSYNC poster and a sign that read NSYNC here we come!  It was so fun.

My favorite boy band obsession is sadly no longer preforming together (maybe one day).  But, lucky for all of us crazy fans, Justin Timberlake and the rest of the guys are still around.  Today is Justin's birthday so that is where this trip down memory lane is coming from.

Happy Birthday JT!

to wear or not to wear.

White.

Should you wear it after Labor Day and before Easter?  I say sometimes.

I live in Florida and here people don't exactly follow the rules.  I constantly see people walking around campus in their white pants or shorts with white sandals on and I think to myself that is way too summary of an outfit for December or January.  

However, I do think it all depends on how and when you wear your white.  Personally, I think Labor Day is way too early to stop wearing all my white clothes.  In the South September and October are still very warm most of the time, so I tend to wear white through September, but stop wearing white shoes, shorts and capris in October.  Typically, in the beginning or middle of October I clean-out my closet (at school) and take all my summer clothes home.  This clean-out usually includes many sundresses (particularly the ones that are white or super bright), as well as my critter shorts and anything else that tends to scream summer time.  But, depending when Easter falls I don't always wait until after Easter Sunday to start wearing my summer clothes again.  Depending on the weather I usually start wearing my summer clothes in March or April.

Now don't get me wrong, in Florida the Fall tends to be very warm and almost summer-like, so I do still dress appropriately for the weather of the day, I simply try to make a transition into Fall/Winter whether or not the weather does. 

Wearing white jeans with a bright pink flowery shirt and sandals is not a Fall/Winter outfit (no matter how warm it is outside!).  But, wearing white jeans with boots and a darker top or jacket is okay.  You can also opt for Winter Whites.  The key is to look in the mirror and say to yourself 'does this look like the middle of summer?', if the answer is yes then think twice about it. 

Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting, well I kinda am.

weekend overview.

I had the greatest weekend.

I started by going to the gymnastics meet.  It was so fun! The Gators did a fabulous job.


  Then my parents came up and brought my doggie for a sleepover at my apartment.


We went to lunch at Blue Gill...yummy! 

After lunch went to the basketball game and the Gators won!

After the game we went to dinner at Dragonfly and boy was it delicious.  Then Mom and I (along with some other people that we went to dinner with) went to the piano bar.  It was pretty funny.  The piano bar is a lot of fun, but a little raunchy (which I could do without).

joyful noise.

Over the weekend Dad came up to go to the basketball game.  While he was here we went to see Joyful Noise.  It was a great movie! We laughed, cried, danced along to the music.  It was a little long, but only because they sing every song all the way through.  Dolly Parton and Queen Latifa are always fun to watch and the two of them together makes for quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Here is the trailer.

The other day at work, everyone in the office agreed that the best show ever is Modern Family.  If you haven't seen it you are seriously missing out!!!  It is the funniest show I have seen in the longest time. 

Watch it!
