Is Fall arriving?

WOW O WOW! Today was a somewhat perfect day! Thanks to the hurricane/tropical storm that came through this weekend, south Alabama had a little taste of FALL today! The weather this morning was in the 60's and tonight in the low 70's! To celebrate the AMAZING weather and overcast skies, Momma made homemade vegetable soup and breadsticks for dinner. YUM! We usually eat tons of vegetable soup and potato soup during the autumn season. I always load mine up with some cheese :)

What's your favorite fall food? Or something your look forward too?

That was close...

Anybody catch some SEC football this weekend? How about that Auburn game? I was in Auburn this weekend and the game had me on the edge of my seat!! Luckily, the tigers did what they do best and pulled through the 2nd half of the game. I am so glad I was able to visit and hang out with old friends and meet some new ones too! This past weekend was much needed and I had a BLAST! :) My friend Courtney and I went up Saturday morning and we watched the game with friends and then headed to a mexican restaurant for dinner and daiquiri's. After dinner Courtney, Taylor, and I got ready for a night out on the town while all the guys watched the LSU game. Our night was complete with a 4 am Waffle House visit :)

WAR EAGLE!

Weekend Recap

I can't believe that the month of August is over! This year has just flown by! This weekend is the first weekend of SEPTEMBER...which means SEC Football starts...WAR EAGLE! August went out with a bang, I was able to spend time with friends, shop, and visit my grandparents :)

Friday night I did some homework and studied for some tests I have next week. Nothing too exciting. Saturday morning I had breakfast with ERICA and Josh at KC's Donuts in downtown Ozark...SO YUMMY! I'm totally serious people...if you live in the area you MUST try their donuts!!!
After devouring some donut holes and a diet coke, I decided to go to Dothan to a new boutique that opened up. It's called VITA LUNA. So friendly and the clothes are real cute and DIFFERENT! I got a cute leopard top and GAMEDAY dress to wear this weekend! Also, since it was their grand opening I got 15% off...GO ME!

I then went and got this super fabulous headband for a baby gift! How cute is this?!?!

Saturday night I went out with Courtney, Shane, and Summer! I only took these pics and that's it! We started the night at Rodeo's for some amazing daiquiri's :) I'm wearing my new top from VITA LUNA.

After Rodeo's we met Summer in Enterprise and had a fun time catching up!

How was your last weekend in AUGUST?

I HEART CFA!

I have a new weakness my friends, It is something you should ALL try. It is something simple. Something delicious. Something amazing.

CHIK-FIL-A Cookies n' Cream milkshake

If you live in the "Circle City" area, head on over to the Ross Clark Circle location and get THIS card before they are gone.

The other day as I was getting my milkshake at the drive-thru and the sweet girl who took my order gave me this card to use once a month for a free breakfast item. How awesome is that! I will definitely be going before work to get my free chicken sandwich/mini's!

What's your favorite breakfast item from Chik-Fil-A?

Tea Anyone?

Living in the South is pure bliss, for me anyways! Believe it or not, there's so much you can look forward to here in south Alabama.

• The tea is ALWAYS sweeter
• When Fall finally arrives, it always greets you with a smile!
• Hospitality is always shown, even during football season..WarEagle!
• The main event is our National Peanut Festival. Who doesn't want to eat tons of food and mingle with thousands of your closest "neighbors" to celebrate the PEANUT?

This past week I had a lunch date with some FABULOUS gals from work. A sweet client of ours came in ranting and raving about a local tea house in downtown Dothan, Al. After we were told about this charming little tea house and the "teapot room", we discovered that the sweet client decided that she would treat us gals to lunch. What a sweet gesture! Where I work we don't turn down food, we love to eat :) May I present to you a hidden treasure in Dothan, Al....

Mildred's Restaurant and Tea Room

After parking your car in one of the two parking areas, walking up the back steps and onto the beautiful wrap around porch with tons of wicker furniture, you are greeted by a southern gentleman who politely opens the door for you and welcomes you with a friendly smile. He then escorts you down a corridor and discusses the lunch options you have to choose from.

Renae, Donna, and I chose the Chicken Salad on croissant with fruit. DELICIOUS! The chicken salad was very good and the fruit was so fresh!

Always gotta' have my Diet Coke!

Brittany decided on the Ham quiche and fruit. She said it was very good! She had never had a quiche before and was skeptical, but she loved it! A cute little cinnamon muffin was nestled on the plate as well! 

Mildred's also has a "buffet of the day" On this particular day they served fried chicken, collard greens, green beans, mashed potatotes, sliced SLOCOMB tomatoes, and homemade banana pudding!

We decided to take a look around the venue. We learned a little bit of history on this historic 'Dowling' house that hosts events like business luncheons, bridal showers/luncheons, birthdays, etc. Mrs. Mildred purchased the home in 1996 and it has been Mildred's Tea Room ever since! I knew that Mildred's Tea Room existed "back in the day" but had no clue it was still up and running and has never closed its doors! 

The upstairs is where large luncheons and private parties are held. It's decorated all "Christmasy". Is that even a word? I have a cute/funny pic of Renae and Donna walking down the stairs but decided to be nice and not post it, because I didn't tell them I was taking the picture :)

Here's Brittany and I in the TEAPOT ROOM. This isn't even 1/4 of the teapots!!

I just want to bake lots of savory sweets and display them on all these pretty cake plates!

Displayed in the corridor is a small Christmas tree with shoes hanging on it..LOVE!

If your in the Dothan area, stop by Mildred's Restaurant and Tea Room on North Alice Street in Dothan. They are open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11-2 and Sundays from 11-2.

Fun times shared with friends are bittersweet and down in the south fun times are sure to be had!

Have a FABULOUS week!!

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was the last one before school started Monday. I've been out of school now for almost a year and I have LOVED my lil "break"! But now, it's back to Business...literally. lol.

Friday night after work I met up with my friend Brittany. I work with her at the bank, but we've been friends for a few years now :) We went to go see the movie Crazy,Stupid Love.

 It was pretty good! Here's a pic of us before we left her house to head to the movies. It was one of many we took that night. PLEASE don't talk about the awful bags under my eyes, please and thank you ;) Also, I left my honky-tonk camera and had to use the ol' cell! So...maybe the poor camera quality is what made me have bags under my eyes?? A girl can wish right?

No pics for Saturday, I just went to put air in my tire (not me, someone else..i dont do any "guy" stuff like that), and I got my nails 'did', and  attended a wedding for my dear friend Andrew and his new bride Faith. It was such a sweet ceremony and every one had a great time :)

********************

Sunday was the first day for our NEW preacher at church! His name is Dr. Steve King and he has the most gorgeous family and they are so sweet! Since us Southern Baptists love a good meal and some fellowship, a "potluck" or "dinner on the grounds" was after the church service in the fellowship hall. Here's a pic of Erica and I. Thanks to Erica for changing the pic to Black and White :) She knows I just HATE colored pics of myself!

Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS week so far!!
I'm headed off to class!
