southern fried goodness

sometimes sweeter than mama's iced tea, sometimes more bitter than a collard green, always hot and juicy like good fried chicken

about moi

My photo
jackie
a Southern woman with a fair amount of intelligence and a modicum of personal style, i am working on building a healthier lifestyle and better organizing my time. i am blessed with excellent friends, a fabulous man, two awesome little boys, a great neighborhood, a beautiful kitty, and a neurotic dog. i have compulsions to create, to read, to sleep, and to dream. i am so eclectic that i have a hard time fitting everything in. and i find that, as i get older, my bullshit tolerance falls lower every day.
