My niece can drive better than your niece
A photo from about a year ago, but my goodness does this make me smile.

Couldn't you just die?
My little nieces make every day so much better, even if the only way I see them is through the photos my mom sends me almost every day. Thank you, mama.

A Different Bird Interviewed: Part II
My friend, Janet, blogger extraordinaire of Slice of Pink sent me the following questions (per my request). Janet is a sweet, sweet person and a great blogger - you should check her out!
1. If all the impracticalities were sorted out for you, what animal would you most like to have as a pet?
A dwarf hamster. It's not an impractical pet, but one I have wanted for many, many years. In fact, I made Cam (he was willing) go into a pet store the other day so I could go stare and squeal at the cute little hamsters. After visiting the store, I definitely want a Roborovski hamster, the smallest of all domestic hamsters.
And from what I understand, they live the longest of any type of domestic hamster. Maybe the impractical part would be that the hamster would have his own room with tons of space to run around and lots of piping and other hamster goodies. And he would have lots of dwarf hamster friends in the room with him, obviously.
2. What is your before-bedtime routine?
It's funny you ask, because I am extremely anal retentive about my before-bedtime routine. In this order, I floss, brush my teeth, wash my face (especially concentrating on getting the eye make-up off) and then slather moisturizer on. I change into my pajamas, get into bed, either text or call Cam and then read while on my back to stretch it out. Then sleep time!
3. What are you wowed by the brilliance of?
Maybe this seems like a shallow answer, but stand-up comedians who kill at improv. Cam and I went to see Rich Hall at The Funny Farm Comedy Club recently, and I was awed by how quick and funny he was on his feet as he interacted with the audience. (If you haven't seen him, you really, really should!)
4. What were you like as a six year old?
I was extremely inquisitive and a bookworm. You would sometimes even find me reading in the bathroom for hours on end because I couldn't manage to put the book down. Not even for two minutes apparently. I loved playing on the swing set with my sisters but also coming up with new games inside the house, like crock pot (weird name, I know). I had a huge imagination and I would make up episodes of Beverly Hills Teens (an 80s cartoon) and tell them to my sisters at night. I loved to draw and color and play Barbies. I remember taking the blame for some things, even though I hadn't done them, just to keep the peace and get past interrogation from my parents. I was a very loving child, always snuggling up to my parents and I remember hugging my Kindergarten teacher a lot (Mrs. Fox), but not my first grade teacher (Mrs. Christopher) because I didn't like her. I remember, even at 6, wanting to be the best in the class. After reading this back and thinking about it, I really haven't changed all that much. Life's funny like that.
5. You win $5,000, all of which you must spend in only one store. Which store do you choose and what do you buy?
I would actually choose Target, because I could get an assortment of items for reasonable prices.
Now, I want to go all out for #5, so I am actually going to fully answer that in another post. Thanks for reading!

2009 looks bright
When 2008 came to a close, I had big plans of wrapping everything I have done this year in a nice, neat package. But as anyone who knows me can attest, I suck at wrapping. So, instead, I will just summarize my 108 in 2008 list.
In 2008, I attempted to do 108 new things, or things I just haven’t done in a really long time. Let's see how I did.
1-Learn to knit (Thank you, Sherrie!)(1/09/08)
2-Hang something on my bedroom wall - a photo, a candle holder, some art, a calendar - something!
It was a calendar. Maybe I need to set my sights higher this year - like a photo frame.
3-Volunteer for a worthy cause
This had to be in addition to English School, because I began volunteering there in 2007. So, during December, I helped out at Clark's Christmas Kids with Clark Howard (from AM 750 WSB). You can see more photos from the event in this post.
4-Sing karaoke
(Me and one of my best friends, Bryan) I did this while playing Rock Band - it counts, right?
5-See a play or ballet performance
Cam took me to see A Christmas Carol at The New American Shakespeare Tavern on Peachtree Street. The show was wonderful! I also had food there for the first time and it was very tasty (and reasonably priced!).
10-Go to an opera I saw a live feed from the New York Metropolitan Opera of La Fille du Régiment. It was wonderful.
11-Try a new game
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 on Wii - hilariously fun! - and Rock Band!
13-Run a half marathon (10/25/08)
I couldn't believe how accomplished I felt after finishing. And how painful a stress fracture can be.
17-Have a taco night
Cam and I made The Food Network's Turkey Tacos Picadillo one night at his place. They were very spicy and delicious. And see that guacamole? That is one of Cam's specialties. You'll have to ask him for the recipe. And just for fun, here is a photo of Cam (with his cousin, Brandon, in the foreground) fixing the infamous guac.
Handsome and he likes to cook. Or as he puts it, he likes to eat.
18-Read the entire Harry Potter series
I bawled reading the last couple of books. I didn't want it to end. I think the Twilight series might make my 2009 list...
19-Visit a state I have never been to, and not just a drive-through.
.jpg)
I went to Arizona for the first time in my life on a mini-vacation in September.
.jpg)
It is incredibly beautiful, I had a wonderful time and want to go back for another visit. You can read about the entire trip here.
23-Throw a party
I helped plan the annual Christmas party thrown by a political group I am heavily involved in.
25-Go on a trip with my sisters
I went to Florida with my beautiful sisters (L-Steph, R- Barb) to visit some family. You can read about the entire trip here.
26-Take a dance lesson
Kole and I took a very special dance class. If you want more details, you'll have to ask me personally. Or Kole.
32-Go to a concert (7/12/08)
Me and Abbs hanging out while watching 7 Sharp 9 in July. They were great!
36-Create a scrapbook
As Cam pointed out, I have referred to this blog as my online scrapbook.
41-Read Son of a Witch: A Novel by Gregory Maguire
I didn't enjoy this book at all. Boo.
46-Read Middlesex: A Novel by Jeffrey Eugenides
I recommend reading Middlesex. It was very interesting and kept me engaged until the very end.
49-Read The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
This is one of my new favorite books. I hear the movie is pretty good, too.
50-Read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
I LOVED the play when I saw it in London, the book, however, SUCKED.
52-Watch the movie Juno (10/02/08)
Over-hyped, but good.
55-Watch Stardust
I really enjoyed this film, but I'm a huge fantasy & science fiction fan.
56-Re-watch the entire British version of The Office, including the two Christmas specials
And I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You think Pam and Jim are cute in the American version, just wait until you see Dawn and Tim in the UK version. *sigh*
57-Try a new restaurant in Marietta
It was Wild Wing Cafe - VERY tasty wings!
58-Try a new restaurant in Atlanta
Cam took me to La Tavola Trattoria Restaurant in Atlanta. It was absolutely wonderful. I wish we had taken photos!
60-Run three miles without stopping
Please see half-marathon information above, and I ran a lot of miles while training for that half-marathon. :)
64-Have a facial
And it made me melt.
66-Participate in a Texas hold ‘em tournament
I didn't win, but it sure was fun!
68-Go to a comedy club(April 13, 2008)
My friend, Travis, being, erm, friendly with the comedian, Nick Guerra (who I highly recommend seeing, if you get the chance).
I LOVE live comedy and frequent the local clubs. I highly recommend you visit The Funny Farm and The Punchline to see great comedy in Atlanta.
70-Go to the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern
Please see #5 above.
73-Try a new haircut
Do you remember this post?
I decided on long layers, with side-sweep bangs:
Me showing my hair to Coach Bill Curry.
79-Buy a new dress & 80- And matching shoes
I did, but I don't actually have a photo with me in the outfit. New Year's resolution: Take more photos.
83-Eat breakfast for dinner
This actually happens all the time. In fact, we had breakfast for dinner with Cam's family last night that consisted of country ham, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits and grits. Man, now I'm hungry!
85-Try a new fru-fru drink [a.k.a. fruity alcoholic beverage]
I had lots of new fru-fru drinks this year, including a peach martini (YUM!) on New Year's Eve, but I don't take a photo of any of them. Though I did have a new drink the night the above photo was taken. And I just wanted to post it again.
87-Have a girls’ night
I have one pretty much every Wednesday.
90-Help someone find a job
I helped a couple of my friends unsuccessfully try to find jobs. Maybe this year they will be successful in finding them!
91-Watch home movies with my family
For some reason, my sister loves to show off the angel above. I've seen her a number of times on the TV at my parents' house.
92-Cook with my mom
We made French toast together - yum!
96-Pay off my student loans (3/14/08)
The idea of debt scares me, so I was so happy to pay this off before it went into payments.
100-Be at the hospital when Steph’s baby is born
Ava Gabrielle stole my heart the moment I touched her.
101-Be at the hospital when Barb’s baby is born
Nola Ashlyn is my sweet little angel. I couldn't love my nieces more if I tried.
102-Make a key lime pie
Key lime pie is my absolute favorite dessert. And this was the EASIEST recipe to make. And honestly, not to toot my own horn, but it was the best damn key lime pie I've ever had. I like to think that Cam agreed.
Groceries needed:
9-inch graham cracker pie crust (Deep-dish if you can find it)
Four eggs (you will just use the yolks)
2 (14-ounce) cans condensed milk
1 cup of key lime juice (you could probably use regular lime juice, but the key lime is what made the flavor for me! We found ours at the local Harry's Farmers Market)
Sour cream
Powdered sugar
One lime for zesting (optional)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the condensed milk, key lime juice and egg yolks. Whisk until well blended and place the filling in the pie shell. We had so much mixture left over that we put them in tiny bunt cakes (please see photo above) and sampled them later that night after cooking the little bunts with the big pie and then chilling the little bunts for a short time - yummy sampler!) Bake for 30-35 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Once chilled, combine about a cup of sour cream to three+ tablespoons powdered sugar (do it to your taste) and use to dollop on the top. Some people spread the topping over the whole thing before serving, but I like to give people the option, though I personally love the sour cream/powdered sugar mixture. Cuts the tartness of the pie. Then sprinkle lime zest as a garnish on top of the sour cream and serve chilled.
What I won't post is the video that Cam took unbeknownst to me while I whisked the key lime pie mixture. Let's just say I look like a hula dancer from behind.
107- Try a different dish at my favorite restaurants (atMurphy’s Deli, La Parilla and Outback)
Well, two out of three isn't bad. Cam, you want to go to Outback this year?
108-Finish a knitting project
My friend, Sherrie, holding the dishcloth I knitted for her.
And it is usually during these 'wrap-ups' that people talk about how thankful they are for everything in their life. And I'm not going to break that tradition. Because I am incredibly thankful.
I'm thankful for my sisters, their husbands and my incredible nieces.
A Christmas photo we had done for our parents.
I'm thankful for my parents.
At Steph's wedding rehearsal.
I'm thankful for my friends.
Some friends on New Year's Eve.
So many things happened in 2008 that weren't on the to-do list. Well, at least they weren't on my list. Items like having two nieces and falling in love. But those are the best things in my life. And I'm so glad I can add them to my life list.
Ringing in the New Year. Properly.
Happy New Year, everyone. May be it filled with as much love and hope as I feel at the moment. Which is a lot.

Smile, smile, smile
So many things have made me smile recently, but today there are a few things in particular that have kept a grin on my face.
Couldn't you just eat her up?!
Unbelievably beautiful. Both of them.
My boyfriend is a goober and I love that.
Please turn up the volume and listen until the end. I have listened to this thing no less than five times. By 2:30 I am laughing so hard I am crying. I knew there was a reason this was my favorite Christmas tune.

Sick as a dog and photos!
So, I spent Sunday and Monday sick. Like nausea, congestion, headache, sore throat sick. And then I came into work today. Not a good idea. I'm on antibiotics, but I'm not feeling the greatest. But rather than continuing to bitch about it, I'm going to post photos from a wonderful event that I was able to attend last Thursday through the Executive Leadership Foundation. Actually, my friend Joel (who you may remember from the event in February) asked me to be his 'date' for the event.
The dinner honored World War II veterans. Coach Bill Curry was the keynote speaker while Joel was the emcee. I can't tell you how moved I was by the video that they showed honoring the WWII veterans. In addition to being thankful for their service, I thought of my dad and how proud I am of his military service and all the sacrifices he made for this country and for my family. (I love you, daddy!)
So, now that I'm all teary-eyed, here are some photos from the evening.
Close-up of me and Coach Bill Curry.

Coach Dan Reeves and me.

Did I mention how much I love my family?
Prior to showing you a million photos of my beautiful family, I wanted everyone to know that Starbuck's is treating every voter to a free 12 oz cup of coffee tomorrow. So, make sure you stop by your local store for your free cup of joe after you vote. I know I will.
Nola, my sleeping angel
"Auntie Nicole, what is that clicking sound?"
"So, I'm awake. Now what?"
What big eyes you have!
Giving her auntie a grin.
"I stick my tongue out at you, Auntie Cole."
"And now you're boring me."
Ava has so much energy now!
Nola checking out her cousin's new ride.
"You want to join me?"
"Please."

Mama and Nola.
Auntie Steph with Nola.
"My fist is rather tasty, Auntie Steph."
"Who's the crazy lady with the camera?"
"This is my gang sign. Represent."
Ava loves her Auntie Barb.
This photo cracks me up!
And now, lots of photos of me and Nola!
Thank you, Steph, for taking the photos.
"Auntie Cole, you're squeezing too hard."
"That's a bit better."
"Now I shall drool on you while looking unbelievably cute!"
"I like this!"
"Auntie Cole, your hand is scaring me."
Barb looks lovely in her Halloween outfit.
Hm, do you think Steph went to UGA?
"I love looking at my grandma (not pictured because the woman won't let me take her photo!)."
Nola in her teddy bear outfit. So cute!
"I'm not sure how I feel about this, mom."
"You and me both, cuz."

With blueberries. Mmmm.
"Mom, your hand is delicious."
"There's that light again!"
"Hee hee. Grandma is funny."
"Auntie Cole, I'm not feeling your need to take photos of my every move."
"So, I shall suck my lip at you."
