See y'all later!
It was so nice not going to work on Monday that I decided to take the rest of the week off. While y'all are slaving away, I will be at my beach house in Beaufort, SC for the rest of the week.
Not actual house, only used to make you jealous.
Jealous yet?

How I spent my day off
I somehow feel like I tricked the system. I got Columbus Day off from work and we all know by now that Columbus didn't discover America.
A friend and I decided to drive into the mountains for the day. Being October 9th, we thought it was the perfect day to go to Helen for Oktoberfest.
Helen is a German sleepy town in North Georgia. This is your typical mental picture of Helen. Every building has the same facade, including the Wendy's down the street.
Oh, I'm sorry. What's this? Is that? Is that a rebel flag hanging out of a shop window marked "Tattoos?" I believe it is.
In case you can't read the lettering, the This -N- That store offers collegiate and NASCAR merchandise.
Here we meet Hansel and Gretel. Hansel is sporting a Harley Davidson t-shirt while Gretel checks him out in her trucker hat and chaps. That's right. I said it. Chaps.
Marbels-- 25 cents. Not to be confused with marbles, the glass balls.
Lesson: You can call it a German town all you like, but if it's located in the Georgia mountains, Deliverance could be filmed there.
Not pictured: a stop at the Habersham winery where you can "taste" for free.
Which may or may not have contributed to our impromptu stop at Babyland General Hospital, the birth place of all Cabbage Patch Kids.
Babyland General Hospital hasn't changed much since my last visit when I was three. Note the caution tape next to the sign.
We walked in and the 80-year-old nurse at the front desk exclaimed, "Hurry! You're just in time for a birth!" Her enthusiasm didn't wane for the pair of 20-somethings.
I responded a little too excitedly, "Oh boy!" and ran back to the cabbage patch. See? Babies really do grow from cabbages. Those little bodiless heads kind of freaked me out.
The birthing nurse has all her instruments out. She peeled back the cabbage leaves and reaches in for the baby.
It's a boy!
The healthy baby boy will be placed in the viewing room where the stork can watch over him.
Not all babies are born healthy. Here are the premies which need extra love and care. AIDS needles sold separately.
I mean "adopted" separately.
Babyland General Hospital was built in the very early 1980s. Therefore it was decorated in Lite-Brites. That toy was cool.
So after a day in Deliverance, Georgia where we were the skinniest girls for miles, I realized that I am indeed a city girl and was very happy to see this:
Traffic included.

Caboodling
While getting ready to hit up Virginia Highland tonight, I reached in my makeup bag for my eyeliner. I looked up from the bag and said to myself in the mirror, "Shit."
Lying on top of the garbage in the trash can was my empty eyeliner tube.
I crouched low and opened up the cabinet. I pushed through half-used shampoo bottles and tugged out my Caboodles case where I squirrel away free makeup samples. In there I found a pencil eyeliner which would have to do for tonight.
That's right folks, I still own a Caboodles.
And it's fluorescent.

In other news
My blog has become the #4 Google result for a certain howler monkey stuffing, spandex wearing, cane owning gentleman. So I went back and got a picture. Enjoy.
All gifts of appreciation may be sent to my office
I was lurking on this guy's blog until he posted the greatest thing ever.
Ladies and gentlemen, the last bookmark you'll ever need.
*Wipes away tear of joy*
Is anyone else faint with happiness?

You're on Notice!
I'd be lying if I said I didn't spend a half of an hour on here laughing hysterically while adding each one of your names.
Who/ What would you put on notice this week? Leave a comment if you made your own.
And you laughed when I said I had an 8 o'clock implosion
The old Wachovia building in Atlanta came down Saturday morning.
I stole the photos from here. You should know well enough by now that I can't take clear pictures.
