Just when it seemed like I’d given up on blogging altogether.

I know, I’m the worst. But Christmas is coming up, and I’ll be making pretty much every gift this year, and hopefully posting about them as well. Until then, here’s the abbreviated, Instagram version of the last month or so.

I am still perfecting my Bloody Mary recipe. Some things I've discovered: Anchovy and HFCS-free worcestershire sauce is almost impossible to find. Spicy Hot V8 is always a good idea. Homemade pickled green beans are a million times better (and cheaper!) than store-bought.

Grapefruits are finally in season again, and I took a picture of the first one I picked and ate about a week ago. Fresh citrus is my favorite thing about living in Louisiana.

Maxine is my best little study buddy. Now that it's finally cooling off here, we spend a lot of time reading in bed.

More on my Hair

Remember that long, whiny post about the state of my hair? Well, around Easter I finally managed to do something about it, and, consequently, my hair and I have been on pretty good terms for the last couple of months. Here are some current pictures:

On vacation in Orange Beach, AL with just-washed hair

Drinking Cucumber Mint Lemonade at a Memorial Day Cookout, again, with just-washed hair

Shopping with my Nanna, after a few days without washing my hair

As I mentioned before, I’m very happy with what Amber of Intricid Salon was able to do with my unruly hair (and not just because it’s summertime and I live in Louisiana). You can follow the link to find out more about Amber and Intricid, a newly-opening salon in the Tupelo area. As for me, I definitely plan on calling her the next time I’m in town, and I recommend her to anyone in northeast Mississippi who’s bored with his or her hair. Thanks again, Amber!

Lately

Like the rest of the world, I’m pretty hooked on Instagram. Here are some pictures from the last several days. Two of my favorite things, as you can tell, are cute animals and sweet treats. Enjoy!

Chowder loves sleeping on the back of the sofa.

This sweet guy showed up on our porch last week. He hung around until his owner came and picked him up.

RolyYo is possibly the best frozen yogurt in the world, and definitely the best I've ever tasted. It's pretty unbeatable with strawberries and blueberries.
