Let's Have a Fiesta!

There are two things I crave: mexican food and girls nights! [And yes, I've basically blogged about this already] I love my man but I love a good night of wine/margs, eating good homemade food and catching up with my girlfriends! Lately, most of my girls nights have been via phone or FaceTime but I am absolutely craving some QT with my girls.

I have friends coming in late Thursday night (no excuses about being tired, we're staying up for wine!) and then we're road tripping to Gulf Shores for Shannon's wedding! I absolutely can't wait to see everyone and I'm sure I'll be depressed to leave. Love my girls!

Okay, got off the subject so back to Mexican food and booze. I made a fun little fiesta invite for a casual ladies night... who wants margs?! I need tequila & gossip asap.

Sooo who's in? :)

A Night with Carrie!

Carrie Nance is one of the best hosts ever. Everytime I visit Louisville, I discover something new about the city that I love. Also, Carrie goes above and beyond to make every weekend visit feel like a true vacation. Observe....

Cocktails with Carrie! I can't for the life of me remember what drink this is but it had lemoncello in it and it rocked.

                                                                   Carrie with a Bellini!

I don't look as cute chuggin' this cocktail..

Carrie took us to Mozz (a Mozzarella bar... which I think is pronounced Motz, but who knows). It was AMAZING!!!

Look who showed up?! Farmer and David joined us for dinner!!

Loved our little dinner date night

After our fruity, summer cocktails, we opted for this amazing Syrah - and it was half priced!!

Carrie is so creative! I could never do this, let alone even come up with the idea! It's an old frame with wire.. or something. Hell, I can't remember.

And this is super impressive. She took a piece of wood, painted it, and screwed in all of these ornate doorknobs to hang her gorgeous necklaces on. FREAKING AWESOME.

Carebear and her cute new man, Hotty Toddy!

Look at what I woke up to....

... fresh berries, granola, and cinnamon rolls!!!

Carrie, you are the absolute best. It is my goal to be as thoughtful and as cute as you. :)

Stay tuned, so much more went down in Louisville... can't wait to show you :)

Weekend Trip to ATL!

One of the perks of my job is that sometimes I'm near people I know and can go visit. And this time I'm only an hour from SHANNY SPRINGBREAK!

Shannon knows how to entertain me... take me shopping, feed me and if it's sunny, lay out and gossip about nonsense. Ohh and lots of wine. All of these things happened this weekend and it was amazing. I've gotten old... fast. I love relaxing and catching up far more than going out and getting crazy.... I know, I know.. how lame, right?! Well, it's the new Leigh so get used to it.

Buckhead Saloon

Fried Goat Cheese Salad - YUM!

So glad I got to see Shanny and have a girls weekend (plus Matt)! Love you Shanny and I'm so lucky to be able to see you NEXT weekend as well!!

CHICAAAAGO!

Almost a year ago, 4 of my girlfriends and I braved the Windy City in the dead of winter. When we told people we were going to Chicago for New Years, almost everyone called us morons. Well, the jokes was on THEM because we had a great time.

Well, thanks to Livingsocial.com, there's a GREAT opportunity to head to Chicago again! Escape to Chicago for the weekend! Grab your man or your girlfriends for an AMAZING weekend in Chicago! Here are the deets:

• Stay at the Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Avenue
• Two drink tickets at Base Bar
• VIP Shopping at Bloomingdales and Macy's (hellooo ladies)

Definitely read the fine print but if you're looking to visit Chicago, this is definitely a fun way to go!

You only have 4 days left to buy it so do it!!

The Final Countdown

Vegas is a mere 26 days away. I'm literally too excited to sleep. 8 girls going to Vegas for Labor Day... absolutely anything can happen. We're getting older so I need to prepare for a 4 day trip with my ladies. I went to Vegas about 2 years ago with Tori, Shannon and Christa and we had a blast. Although, it wasn't your typical Vegas trip that you've heard about or seen in movies. Nobody got married or woke up with a tiger in their room. Or had an Asian, with the smallest penis I've ever seen, jump out of the trunk of our car. It was quite literally the opposite of what you'd imagine a trip to Vegas would be like.

We all drank too much during the day to really see Vegas. We did a lot of touristy things and saw about 25 Michael Jackson impersonators on the street. However, when it came to making it out at night, we had a few setbacks. One night Christa got sick... then one night I got sick... one night Shannon got sick... and then one night, Tori got so fed up with us being weak that she literally left and we found her at "Slots A Fun". Tor will adhere to the strict buddy system this trip. That's a promise.

So here's my promise: this year, I will not be weaksauce. I will hydrate during the day and not drink so many mimosas that I can't make it to dinner. I will remember to eat during the day and not skip meals to save money. I will not drink in the bathtub with Shannon.... ehh I can't promise that. If the bathtub is big enough in our room at the BELLAGIO (we're fancy broads) then yeah, we'll definitely drink in the tub.
