Jen — Thu, 17 May 2012 06:14:22 +0000

UPDATE: A rep from LUSH replied to my post on their Facebook page, saying they are “already close to securing a new space” for a freestanding location. Fingers crossed!

I told y’all she’d be puffy again in no time. Kidding. Here she is. You almost can’t tell she’s shaved in this one: Previously: Week one Haircut day

A PSA from the City of Memphis about the new bike lanes: Two thoughts: I’m a little embarrassed that such a video even needs to exist, but from what I’ve seen on Madison Ave., it’s very necessary. And shouldn’t she be wearing a helmet?

Beach House is coming to Memphis

Beach House is playing at Minglewood Hall in Memphis July 12. I was shocked when the show was announced.

I am really, really [...]

We took Trish in for a shave last week. It always seems like she’s back to full puffitude in no time, so I’ve decided to document the process as her coat fills back out. Here she is one week after her lion cut. Here she is the day she got the cut.

How do you get a difficult cat in her carrier?

Jen — Thu, 03 May 2012 03:42:48 +0000

I would rather get a mammogram in front of a live studio audience than take our cat Trish to the vet. First I have to open the front door of the house and unlock my car doors so I can get her in the car quickly. Then I have to shut her in the living [...]

I took these from work almost a decade ago. WHY?

Introducing Mrs. Clarke (the wedding graduate)

Jen — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:00:49 +0000

© Annabella Charles — thank you for making us look totally amazing! There is a certain type of woman who begins imagining — and even planning — her wedding when she’s a little girl. She knows all the details: how many bridesmaids she’ll have, what flavor her cake will be, what song will be playing as [...]
