Last night, I the wonderful Jenkins’ brought me to pasta night at the Chattanooga Gulf and Country Club. Ummmm!
Over dinner, we discussed their upcoming trip to NCC’s Unplugged Conference. I’m thrilled that they’ll get to visit a church that meant so much to me and helped me through an extremely difficult time in my spiritual [...]

Back in Chatt
Posted in Back to Chatt, Chattanooga, Embrace Church on April 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Officially a full-time Chattanoogan again. Getting used to that will take some time.
Yesterday, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. (after 4 hours of sleep) and left Montgomery County about an hour later. Next time I make the drive to DC, I’ll have to remember to leave super early. By noon, I was already back in [...]
One more week…
Posted in Chattanooga, DC adventures on April 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
According to the calendar, I roll out of DC one week from today.
I’ve been contemplating this move for so long that hasn’t felt real. Well, reality is starting to hit me…and I’m excited.
It’s not that I hate DC, or my life here is horrible. Quite the opposite in fact. However, I’m really excited about my [...]
Confessions from a Pack Rat
Posted in Chattanooga, DC adventures on March 20, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I just realized today that I move in exactly three weeks. 21 days and counting.
It overwhelms me to think about everything that needs to get done before I leave. I’m taking week-by-week, or a freak out will ensue. Hopefully, I’ve learned something about stress management over the past two years.
*The movers are booked and final [...]
Give Me Wine with My Organic Milk
Posted in Chattanooga, DC adventures, randomness on March 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One of the things that I’m going to miss the most about DC is Trader Joe’s. The grocery store is really that awesome. Organic and healthy food at cheap prices with witty signs and labels. Who can beat that?
Trader Joe’s also has a great wine selection in states that allow grocery stores to sell wine. [...]
Trapped Like a Duck in a Pen

I’ve had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it’s a pity life
Can’t be simple again
Rocky Top you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee
Girl from the South will soon be blogging in the South.
That’s right folks. I’m moving back to Chattanooga [...]
Go West, GFTS
Posted in Cajun, Chattanooga, nonprofit job, travel on January 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
To be honest, I forgot about updating GFTS until Maven Mom call this afternoon and asked about it. I’m not sure why she called me about reading my blog since she could inquire about my well-being over the phone. However, it’s nice to hear from my readers, even if that reader is under parental obligations.
Thursday, [...]
Those Leftover Angels
Posted in Chattanooga, Holidays on December 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
What happens to the angels that aren’t adopted from the Salvation Army or other charitable organizations?
Yesterday Maven Mom called me in tears. She and a neighbor had volunteered to hand out presents at a senior center and found out. Due to a shortage of adoptions this year, she had to tell 2/3 of them [...]
Segways Invade the Scenic City
Posted in Chattanooga on December 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
There’s an Arrested Development joke in here somewhere, but I’m fascinated by the concept of a Segway tour of Downtown Chattanooga. It may be worth the $35 to see the Scenic City at a faster pace than walking but slower than a car and without the exercise benefit of a bike.
Downtown Segway tour Chattanooga Times-Free [...]
Geaux Vols!
Posted in Cajun, Chattanooga, Tennessee, UT, Vols, family from the south, football on November 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
One of the highlights of being home this weekend was watching the UT game with McGuyver Dad just like we did when I lived in-state. What a game! After sitting through four overtime periods, I’m fairly certain that God is a Vol fan. ATL here we come!
Now the difficult family rivalry emerges. GFTS is [...]
