Still in the South, where you can get a Route 44 sweet tea for $1.29.Anthony and I took a brief escape from wedding planning yesterday to pretend we have lots of money and look at model homes. Areas around Nashville are really booming and there are so many new developments that weren’t here when I was in high school! The New York Times just named Nashville the new “It” city which is pretty cool.

Model homes are funny because they are filled with life-sized Ken and Barbie accessories. Like plastic champagne in a plastic glass.

If and when we ever buy a house I am going to do modeling poses on the front steps every time I walk out the door.After our little adventure it was time for a few Italian-inspired snacks. I’m going to start putting all my foods on slate boards because they make you feel super sophisticated.

Then it was time for wedding planning item #24021948319: wine tasting. Well actually I just realized the picture below is tequila… I’m not sure how that happened.

Anthony arranged all the pours and planning. We even went all out with worksheets and scoring cards to make sure our tasters were truthful.It was a pretty hilarious and delicious event. Luckily, all the wines we tested out were a big hit! It probably helped that the #1 mom and chef made a beef ragout that made our taste buds doubly happy.And then I fell asleep, woke up, and went to the gym half asleep. I did a circuit workout that was light on the legs, heavy every where else! After yesterday’s run the legs need a rest.The rest of me could use a rest, too… but unfortunately it’s Monday, so ain’t nobody got time for that! Happy President’s day!
