…to resurrect my blogging identity.
It’s the Friday night before the first UGA home game of the year. If one were to rewind to eight, five, or even two years ago, Mrs. JBT would look awfully different. She’d be excited, frazzled, attempting to organize, cook, clean off chairs, tables, tents, equipment, clean out coolers, prepare menus, and plan the perfect gameday attire.
Gameday…yay!
Tonight? I’m on the couch with a glass (aka bottle) of wine and my sanity intact. A begrudging thanks to Michael Adams for his enlightened tailgating policy, which basically prohibits me from continuing my obsessive tailgating preparations this year. I would have liked to make this decision on my own, but you know what? I’m okay with it. I’m okay with no planning. I plan to enjoy leaving Atlanta in someone else’s car at 8:00 tomorrow morning, spending our time before the game in a downtown bar/restaurant, cheering on my Dawgs in Sanford Stadium until at least halftime (with no guilt if we do decide to leave then), and spending the rest of the day/night watching other games from the loveliness of my couch. I must admit, however, there is still some obsessing over the gameday outfit. A Georgia girl doesn’t just get over that without a serious intervention.
In other news, am I the only one who is smitten with Old Navy’s Boyfriend Cardigans? I bought one in white back in early summer, and I wear it constantly. So today, when I went by to return some shorts (I hate shorts. Why did I buy these in the first place?), and I saw that my beloved cardigans were on sale for $10 each, I snatched up 2 – in black and taupe. My lovelies, all set for fall. Yum.
Happy Labor Day! Oh, I am glad to be writing again – big yays.
