Well, despite my efforts, I didn’t get all my work done yesterday. Does that mean I’ve been hard at work all day? Hardly. Girl from the South works hard all the time. It would be wrong to push myself on the one day of the year I’m entitled to be the center of the universe. [...]

Since this is election season, I thought I’d present my audience with a very scientific and reliable opinion poll from GFTS Polling Services.
Filtering Questions:
1. Girl from the South is turning 25 this weekend. Were you aware that October 29 is her birthday?

Tennessee politics are always juicy.
I can tell we’re two weeks from an election because I suddenly find myself caring when I had sworn off interest in politics for the time being. Oh well.
NRO has a good column on the TN Senate race. Plus Mason-Dixon’s reporting that the race is getting even closer. Corker 45%, [...]

With the leaves changing and the weather growing colder, Paula Deen has taken over my kitchen, and I’ve been pulling out recipes for soups, fall vegetables and heavier, cold weather foods.
Sunday, I spent most of the afternoon cooking a yummy batch of homemade green beans and butternut squash. Green beans are going to become a [...]

Why Jr. will Lose the Election
I know that this got a lot of press over the weekend, particularly in Tennessee, but I thought it was blogworthy.
I honestly think that Jr. just lost the election with this little trick. In the words of Mom from the South, “I don’t want a spoiled brat representing me [...]

Just when you get used to living in DC and establish a routine, something strange happens that reminds you that you possibly live in the most surreal place on earth.
Mondays are rather crazy for me. I have class until 12:30, and then I try to rush to work by 1:15. Since the team for my [...]
We Need a Caffeine IV in Here, Stat!

Super sleepy this morning. Could be because my research methods class last night consisted of three hours of interpreting SPSS read-outs into English and trying to figure out what that meant for the super “scientific and valid research study” we did on testing the effect of celebrities vs. non-celebrities as spokespersons.
SPSS and I are not [...]
More Southern Than I Thought?

As you can tell by this blog, I’m rather proud of being from the South. However, I’m very thankful to the parentals from the South for constantly correcting my grammar and speech growing up. With one side of my gene pool from Baton Rouge and the other side from New Orleans, I developed a broad [...]
And I Thought I Was Safe from Politics

For the first time in my life, my livelihood and not just my interests are tied in with the election.
Remember when I mentioned that nonprofit job is at one of the thousands of (c)3/(c)4s that take up office space in downtown DC? Yeah, the (c)4 part is really busy right about now.
That’s about all I [...]
