Exalting everyday ridiculousness

Time to move. I think.

We are moving.

For a wonderful opportunity in a beautiful part of the country; our clan is trading in our flip flops for cowboy boots, and relocating to Nashville, Tennessee.

After a serious discussion on the new job, housing market, schools, taxes, finances, blah, blah, blah, I realized there was only one sticking point in an otherwise fabulous opportunity.

The Central Time Zone.

Me: What do you mean, Nashville is central time? Knoxville is right next door and it’s not!

Suburban for a Diva

A few weeks ago, I got an email informing me I was on the “Chevy Influencer list.”

After I investigated and made sure this wasn’t the Chevy Under-the-Influence or Easily Influenced list, I was told that if I was interested I would have the opportunity to drive a Chevrolet car for a week.
