I'm a Georgia-born, Mississippi-bred, Southern Belle living in sunny Los Angeles, California. I'm just trying to make life in the City of Angels truly feel like a little piece of heaven. Welcome to my blog of humorous anecdotes, mindless ramblings, witty invectives, random observations, and just general thinking out loud. Thanks for stopping by! Ya'll come back now, ya hear?!!!

Loosen Up My Buttons, Baby!



I have a non-sexual crush on the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. She's yummy. I think she's really pretty and a really good singer and a really good dancer, and as this sentence reflects, she makes me feel like a twelve year old girl (or at least write like one). Maybe that's why I dig her. She reminds me of all those Prince chicks back in the eighties that I liked as a kid. Screw Madonna! Give me Vanity and Apollonia! Being a BIG Prince fan (my first tingling "down there," was at a slumber party viewing of Purple Rain during the infamous "reach around" love scene between Prince and Apollonia), any chick His Purple Highness let hang out with him was alright with me.

I was also probably more drawn to them because, with their dark hair and dark eyes and exotic looks, I could relate to them more. Being the only brown-eyed brunette in my family, my siblings would joke with me that I was adopted since I didn't look like any of them. I WAS the ONLY one who had brown hair and eyes like BOTH my parents, but WHATEV!

Anyway, Miss Scherzinger is HOT, and is one of the main reasons for my current obsession with the "PCDs." Granted, they all run around stage in their underwear and are really just a bunch of glorified strippers, but I don't care! They're really pretty and they sing really good and they dance really good and Nicole is my FAVORITE! Can I look through your purse?

Yee haw! Gettin' hitched!




Well, my lovely boyfriend is no longer my boyfriend, because now he's my fiance!!! I'm getting married! William and I went away to Santa Barbara in May 2007 for Memorial Day weekend. We were in great need of some rest, relaxation, and quality time together. Little did I know what else William had planned for the trip!

Saturday night we went out for a nice dinner at a little off-the-beaten-path Spanish restaurant. Sitting at a quiet, dimly lit table in the corner, we spent the evening enjoying a great meal and each other's company, talking about our journey together and all of our plans and dreams for the future. Marriage had been a topic of conversation many times before, and we both knew we wanted to get married, so it wasn't unusual for us to be talking about it.

At one point in the conversation, I was imagining our wedding. I closed my eyes and said, "You know, just the image of me coming down the aisle on our wedding day and looking down at the end of the aisle and seeing you standing there looking at me and waiting for me is just...," and upon opening my eyes mid-sentence, I saw that William was holding an open box with a beautiful diamond ring in it. For being completely clueless that I was about to be proposed to, I couldn't have set him up better! William said, "It's time." I burst into tears, he popped the question, I said yes, and lots of hugs and kisses ensued!

Walking up to the table at that moment, the surprised waitress saw the open ring box on the table, me wiping away tears, and the sparkler on my finger and said, "Oh, um, um, oh my gosh! Congratulations!" She made a hasty retreat from the table, leaving us alone to enjoy the moment. Soon the Maitre D' arrived at the table with a bottle of Champagne for us to enjoy a toast on our big night.

We've decided to get married in Maui in January, and have a small wedding with family and friends. For our honeymoon, we'll stay on in Maui for a few more days, then hop over to Molokai for four days.

I'm so excited, and I can't wait to be married to be married to my best friend and love of my life. I can't wait to be Mrs. William Hanford Lee, Jr.!!!
