Meanwhile, back at "the ranch" . . .
Early last week, I reconnected with an old pal. Ben and I were “reunited and it feels so good” to shoot a promo for the upcoming United Way Luncheon, a toast to Administrative Professionals Day which will be held at Idle Hour Country Club. I could tell you more about it but I much prefer to tell you that you’ll simply have to keep your television tuned to 13 WMAZ and your eyes peeled for our debut. Later that evening – my eyes were the ones being peeled and High School Reunion did not disappoint. Oh swoon, j’adore! Ancient drama and impending bed-hopping, those who have evolved and those who have devolved, scars that even twenty years cannot erase . . . who could ask for anything more?
Friday was a hot mess herself! I started the day at Bright Blue Sky with a Blue Bird-shaped cookie and a press conference during which I clung desperately to every word that precious Mr. Albert L. “Buddy” Luce, Jr. spoke. Said clinging was due to a certain elected official who not only managed to fit a campaign announcement into his words of praise but also seemed to be doing a bit of fundraising judging from the nerve wracking and incessant jingling of change that reverberated from inside his suit pants. Never fear, though, you can read all about everything that the jingling kept me from hearing . . . compliments of Phillip Ramati.
Afterwards, I stopped in at Ginger Michelle for a decadent pair of chandeliers and skipped on down to Molly’s for lunch with Amy and Charlie Hellis. (I better sit down, my head is beginning to spin.) After lunch I grabbed my red cashmere wrap and headed to the theatre. 21 Years . . . Dying and Living with A.I.D.S. was just wonderful! I especially enjoyed performances by Kate Long, Aiden Carter and Caty Hulsey and I was able to visit with “Grandmother” Betty Sweet Simmons (whom I adore as if she were my own.) One more stop, at the Shamrock, to enjoy a Shane Bridges serenade, and this midnight train to Georgia was homeward bound.

Needless to say, the only energy that I gathered together on Saturday was for my weekly stroll to Fountain of Juice – which I took in the car, enough said?
And Sunday . . . ahh . . . Sunday was a day to energize and detox. I energized at Kim Sandefur's house with a round of shots. Drinking during the day - on a Sunday - how decadent! Slow down - Shots on the menu were Aloe, Greens & Essentials by Univera. Leave it to Kim to bring us Wellness in a shot glass. Call her (319.0314) , she's got the scoop. After that I had an Ionic Foot Detox at Allyson's. Dawn Hammack (747.3102) is a delight, and she brings pedi-therapy right into your own sunroom.

And a nice, long soak doesn't hurt either.

Hot This Week!
Go Green . . .
3/15 Green Beer at Shamrock*
Step Right Up, Get Your Tickets Before They Sell Out . . .
Bon Jovi at Phillips Arena!
And you simply must stay at the Ellis Hotel. It's a triple threat: luxury, location and low rates. (And not just relatively speaking -$124.00 and it is across the street from the Ritz Carlton darling! )
