Mah-velous Magnolia :: birthday girl

Posted in: Mah-velous Magnolia, SSM, WiSh

This week the Mah-velous Magnolia goes out to a great and dear friend of mine, Erika “E” Ludolph, who celebrated her birthday this past Tuesday, the 15th. A Southern transplant from Delaware, she’s got a heart of gold, a fiery Italian temper {only when provoked} and that sense of sass that only a Mah-velous Magnolia can possess. With tacos & reggae, I think it’s safe to say she kicked off her next year in a great way and is already off to an awesome start.

Happy Birthday, one more time, to my girl E! May this year be the best you’ve seen yet.

Thank you for being you.

The Mah-velous Magnolia badge will be awarded each Friday to a selected lady {or a few..or fellas..we’ll see!} who has had an impact on my week. Who knows — maybe you’ll be up next!

SSM Mid-Week Music Snack 7

Posted in: Music Snack, WiSh, holiday

In the spirit of the Season, and my post yesterday, I feel that it’s only fitting to have this week’s Music Snack be non other than… Santa Baby.

There’s quite a few versions and variations of the song, it was difficult to pick out my favorite one. It’s hard to beat Madonna’s version, but I must admit — my top Santa Baby rendition comes straight from the Carolinas. And so without further ado, shut the door to your office, put the baby down for a nap, turn up the volume on your computer and get ready to sing along to ~

Letter to Santa

Posted in: DIAMONDS*, WiSh, holiday

I spent the morning tromping through stores and toy isles with the best of ‘em. Christmas is right around the corner and this Sassy Steel Magnolia’s got 3 nieces, 3 nephews, 1 godson, 2 brothers, 1 sister, 2 sister-in-laws, 1 brother-in-law and a momma on her list. I’ve noticed that over the years I have less and less on my wish list because I get so caught up in what and who else I’m supposed to be getting gifts for and such. I know, I know — it’s not about gifts and the Season has gotten so commercial and the true meaning of Christmas has been lost and yadda yadda yadda..trust me, I know. And I agree for the most part, I really do.

But, sometimes I can’t help to think back to how nice it was when I got to go sit on Santa’s lap and ask him for whatever I wanted without a care in the world. No one scoffed at me for asking for too much or at how crazy something was. Nobody told me to stop being ridiculous because we’re in a recession or that I need to grow up or how many people have it worse than I do. I could say anything in the world and Santa would simply smile and nod his head.

So what do I do as I sit in this coffee shop and try and figure out what toys I should get which niece or nephew all the while making sure I don’t get them confused? Well, I decide I’m going to forget about everything for a few minutes and write a letter to the big man in the red suite myself…..

He’s gotta listen at least a little, don’t you think? We really do have so much in common. He likes red, I like red. He likes making people smile, I like smiling……. Santa??!?…………….Santa Babyyyy?!……

Oh well, back to Star Wars, Crayola & Disney Princesses for me. One can always hope & believe.

Actually speaking of Princesses, I wonder if…….
