June 27, 2011 Are You Ready to Sojourn with Stacey?
There is really nothing better than a vacation. Just thinking about a v.k. puts you in a relaxed state. But in contrast, the word “travel” can have quite the opposite effect. Mention “air travel” and now you’ve gone from relaxed to stressed to all out panic. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Too often our independent natures and the belief that we can and should do everything on our own is largely what causes our should’ve been lazy days holiday to become a tactical nightmare.
I’ve become smarter than that through the help of a friend, who just happens to be trusty travel agent Stacey. My rationale has become: why should I stress when she can do the worrying for me (no offense, girlie!)? And another thing: all those travel agents who got relegated to the side with the boom of the Internet really do know all the best spots, get the best rates, etc. Should I leave my European vacation to an online review, or do I belive the friend who’s been there, done that?
So, whether you’re planning to beach it in the Caribbean, do the Disney deal or cruise away to some foreign port, leave the planning to a pro…preferably my gal Stacey. And make sure to check out her brand spankin’ new blog at http://sojournwithstacey.wordpress.com. The self-described travel Yoda, this blog is sure to be packed with travel tips, destination ideas and more!

May 30, 2011 Get Your Game On!
Well, as it is Memorial Day, I should probably be writing about our amazing military personnel, the sacrifices made and the incredible families who support or have lost their loved ones. But I have a problem. Today, amidst all the observations, beautiful commemorations and heartfelt gratitude, college football reared its wonderful head.
The morning started with the announcement that Ohio State’s Jim Tressel had announced his resignation after a prolonged go-round with university and NCAA officials. In the end, the truth came out, and Tressel’s multitude of lies and schemes were exposed to the world. Then, word comes out that South Carolina’s oft-troubled, sometimes talented quarterback Garcia had been semi-reinstated into the program after many had believed his career as a Gamecock was done.
As I ruminated about all of this while reclining in a lounger by the pool, I couldn’t help but think I still needed to write about my sincere gratitude to those who had made the ultimate sacrifice, until…
The Jenn Dress by Lil Bit Clothing Co
Lil Bit Clothing Co. unveiled The Jenn Dress. That was it. I couldn’t contain my excitement for SEC football any longer. With a few joined seams and swatches of blue and orange, fashion trumped holiday and dictated that college football rule the day. So, here’s to the many men and women serving overseas, and to my beloved orange and blue. Gator Nation gives thanks for your service, even as we get ready to scream, “Go Gators!” this fall in The Swamp.
