Have you ever watched that show on TLC (or maybe A&E?) about hoarders?
Just like an hour of people being amazed at how much stuff someone can accumulate and fighting with them about how, no, they don’t actually need every newspaper printed since 1989?
Here’s a secret: I can’t bear to watch Hoarders because I’m terrified that I will become/already am one.
Milestones are happening in the Fleur-De-Licious world! Milestones like the last day of law school class. And the last finals ever. And impending real world lawyer jobs. MOST IMPORTANTLY however, Kate will be moving to Dallas soon, which is where I live, which means that for the first time since graduating high school in 2006…I get to live in the same city as my best friend. There will be champagne when she gets here. We are classy ladies. Continue reading
Oh, man. Last week, you guys.
Forgive our extended absence. It was hard to muster much of a positive attitude with all the crazy happening in the world. Joking about our complete inability to act like adults felt a bit inappropriate.
But! The week ended with a little bit of closure and with some good old fashioned heroics (of the law enforcement as well as normal people type). And now we’ve found some extra brain space to bring you some goodness!

Instead of my usual pinterest-filled, sleep-until-you-drag-me-out-of-bed, clean-all-the-things post-test weekend…I hopped on a sunrise plane to New Orleans to visit my dad.
New Orleans is up there. Paris, Switz, the Florida gulf coast, and New Orleans top the favorite places and home-away-from-home lists.

Yep. We’re getting savory and (somewhat) healthy(?) up in here. And I’m not even the doctor in this blog partnership!
The good news is we’re gonna counter the quinoa and the kale with some cheddar cheese. (See? Not the doctor.)
There’s nothing to counter the savoriness of this. But, if necessary, chase with ice cream (like I did).
Well. It is official. I have decided I’m done spending money. I will instead be revolutionizing the world by re-introducing the barter system.
Amazon would like $49.00 for that external hard drive? How about instead I send them this lovely cake stand I never use?
