Southern Living magazine just published a list of bloggers to follow in 2015 (see link below):
http://www.southernliving.com/travel/bloggers-to-follow-2015 Some of them I had already been following (I love when that happens! makes me feel like "ha!" I knew something before you did!!!), some I'm looking forward to following, some I won't be following at all (sorry folks, but the gardening blogs just don't do much for me. I do not have a green thumb at all. I can keep a houseplant alive but that's about it).
Yesterday T-bone had head shots taken for Miss Amory 2015 with the ever talented Mr. Blake McCollum. Blake did her Miss Metro Jackson head shots last year but this year the session was part of her Miss Amory prize package. She's been a busy pageant girl the last couple of days . . . last week she and her director Bo finalized her evening gown, head shots yesterday and this weekend she'll be crowning the new Miss Metro Jackson! Her new evening gown is spectacular and I was so, so sad that I couldn't be there to help her shop but I'll be in Oxford in a few weeks to spend some time with my girl!
KJ is continuing to be spectacular -- she's still playing club volleyball two nights a week with tournaments on the weekends and she's luv, luv, luving high school lacrosse practice the other 3 nights. She's exhausted but loving it. And, she made the honor roll again! She's taking all honors classes and is officially a two-sport Varsity athlete. I am SO proud of this girl!
The other night Cosmo & I saw "Whiplash" with the incredibly talented JK Simmons.
Cosmo wasn't sure what to expect and I knew only a little bit about the movie. It was great and JK Simmons was phenomenal. He's a very underrated actor (who didn't love him as Juno's dad?? And what about those Farmers Insurance commercials??) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582802/?ref_=nv_sr_1 I love awards season and always keep a list of movies, particularly independent movies, that sound interesting. I do the same with books, too. If I see a book review in a magazine or someone mentions a book, I write it down.
Speaking of books, here's some info regarding the soon-to-be-published book by Harper Lee: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31127009 Still not sure how I feel about this. Listen, I love a great book just as much as the next person but do feel that some things should just be left alone (that 3D Jaws movie always comes to mind!). "To Kill a Mockingbird" is beloved and I just don't want the second book to be panned and torn to shreds by critics.
