If I won the Lottery…

  1. I would pay off my car, but now I see that have Hybrid Rav4’s and I maybe interested in one of those
  2. I would payoff some bills
  3. I would purchase the Disney Vacation Club
  4. I would take a trip to the Outer Banks
  5. I would take a trip to New Orleans
  6. I would take a trip to Savannah
  7. We would have Princess Rooms at Disney in October when we go
  8. And all the girls would have Princess Makeovers and the boy would get a Pirate Makeover
Those are my first thoughts on what I would do if I won the lottery.  I’m sure I would come up with more things.

Southern Belle Reads: Save The Date

Oct22

I have been reading Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews.  She is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers.  This book is based in Savannah which has become one of my favorite cities to visit.  And one of her books was based in the Outer Banks, which I love too.  Anyway back to Save the Date.  This book is great!  I am almost finished but not there yet.  I love the characters and the story line.  The main character, Kara is a wedding florist trying to make a name for herself.  I feel like I have a better understanding for the wedding florist/planning business from this book.  I feel like the characters in this book are my friends now.  Actually by the time I have reached the end of the books I have read written by her, I feel the same way about them as well.  It is the way she writes, you just can’t help but like her characters.  I can’t wait to finish reading Save the Date to see how it ends.  I’m hoping it will not disappoint.  Based on what I have read so far I would recommend Save the Date as a great book to read.  I will keep you posted on how the ending was.
