Enrique and "The Butter"

Sweet Home Bahma’?

Yes, I am coming home to Alabama. I realize it is time to update blobby. He has been lonely without me to comfort him this past month. I have spent the last weekend in the lovely and very cool town of Birmingham, AL visiting a dear friend and European travel buddy, Clare. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed Alabama. Ok, so I only was in Birmingham one weekend, but still. The woman sitting next to me on the plane on the way down had a premonition—she said to me “ya’ll may not want to leave Birmingham!” I was of course thinking, uh, yeah right, I enjoy my Yankee style livin.’ But alas, I did enjoy very much the weekend of Southern accents and trying grits at my favorite place on earth, a “waffle” house. One of my personal goals in life is to travel to waffle houses around the world. Although I suspect that they are only really located in the south. I did, however, find my Birmingham t-shirt in the airport, along with some nice postcards that I was on the hunt for all weekend.

I have a bone to pick with Delta. This will come in a later post after I write my letter to them explaining my distaste for certain carry-on luggage policies. This incident happened on my way from Atlanta to Chicago, and let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. But I shall save that for a later date when I am calm enough to write my letter to Delta.

In other rather exciting news, my birthday is only 4 days away!! K, so it’s really not that exciting after turning 21, but still. I think it’s my special day to really “shine” and be doted upon.

And in tribute to the title of blobby, I have now seen Enrique in concert twice now! Yes, it was a great time seeing my beloved shine like a the sparkly star that he is. It certainly helped that he was wearing tight leather pants………..yum yum…..
