just one more reason to love ♥ Adele...

"I love food and hate exercise. I don't have time to work out... I don't want to be on the cover of playboy or vogue. I want to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or Q. I'm not a trendsetter... I'm a singer... I'd rather weigh a ton and make an amazing album then look like Nicole Richie and make a shit album, My aim is never to be skinny." - Adele

I have plans to go see her performance at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn on June 20th with some friends from work. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get a ticket!!

Yee-Haw!!! The Rodeo is in Town

It's time for the annual Franklin Rodeo. Now I haven't actually been to the rodeo since I was a little girl, but that doesn't stop me from looking at some gorgeous cowboy fashions.

Driving in Downtown Franklin, Tenn., there is a shop called lulu franklin. They have a beautiful window display about the rodeo. I particularly love this print hanging in the window.

This is the sign that is in front of their shop!

 

So this store and the rodeo has inspired me to do some rodeo "window shopping", since I can't afford to do any real shopping. There are quite a few places to find vintage looking cowgirl/rodeo wear.

I particularly like this belt buckle from Montana Ty's Jewelry.

Next is some particularly "charming" vintage inspired jewelry from The Rhinestone Cowgirl. Their slogan is "Being a Rhinestone Cowgirl isn't expensive, it's priceless."

I think I will be sporting my cowboy boots whenever I can this weekend and will definitely keep my eye open for some handsome cowboys.

A Tattoo Idea?

OK, I've always wanted a tattoo but I never knew what to get. Now I do. I want an Eiffel Tower tattoo. But where? I was mentioning it at work the other day and Cheri and Sam said down my side. I just happened to stumble across this image. 

I think I want mine a little smaller, but I really like this a lot. I also found these other images as well.

I like the detail on this one.

 

I like this but I want mine a place that I can cover up if I need too.

 

This one is nice. I like the top but not the bottom half.

What do you guys think?

Hot Buttered Rum "Amanda Lynn"

Oh the things you will find when you search your own name!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥   

"Amanda Lynn"

Hot Buttered Rum

She's the hippie of her family
Amanda tried to blaze the trail
When there was nothing left to lose
She put on her walking shoes 

Amanda sippin' a sun-warm soda
Havin' a cigarette after yoga
I taste the bitter with the sweet
Parading down main street
There for all to see, Amanda and me 

(chorus:)
How I need that music to fill me
How I need that music to fill me
How I need to believe I'm doin' the best that I can
Through all these days I've been
Lost in the embrace of Amanda Lynn 

She led me down the smooth dirt road
Amanda Lynn hummed a sweet melody
A wailin' and a moanin'
A tune for the long journey home 

Amanda never frets about the weather
When the storm clouds gather
The sky turns to splendid shades
From pink, to green, and gray
There for all to see, Amanda and me

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did!
