I am honored to call Lindsay Maddox a/k/a Designer Wife my peer and good friend. However, when you are such good friends, things happen. They get in your head! OMG! Lindsay and I are doing some of the same things, without even talking about them.
We had planned on not eating out during the month of January. The whole family is feeling sluggish and tired, plus my checkbook has been glaring at me due to the convenience of me acting on convenience. Christmas shopping, family, etc., takes a it’s toll on your energy so it has been easy to stop wherever we are. I am over it and making menus for the next week. Then? I was catching up on my blog reading and well, hot damn, she is doing the same thing! Except there is a challenge and I had no idea! Kudo’s to The Chic Life for starting this challenge, her food photography is amazing!
So, we are cooking! Today was White Bean and Collard Soup from Southern Living. It’s delicious. My ten year old son loves it and my husband can’t get enough. It’s also fantastic the next day as leftovers for lunch {guess what I’m having tomorrow!}
What else has my seriously fantastic sister done? She’s doing a photo a day! At this point, my husband is saying that we are sharing thoughts telepathically! She doesn’t even know I am writing this post, because I haven’t texted, tweeted or emailed her…yet! 🙂
But, I have been photographing my heiney off with my new Canon, I’m just behind on posting since I lost three days over Christmas due to bad weather and no internet access. Yeah, that’s the sound of my social media addiction habit gone haywire.
So, Dearest Lindsay, I love you so. However, at this point, if I start drinking too much coffee, reading insane amounts of Jen Lancaster, and staying awake all night — WAIT! I do that already. We are morphing!
I love you my dear friend! Thanks for keeping me on my toes and making me a better writer, blogger and person. I was blessed the day we met and am forever grateful for knowing you.
