Kelly Cutrone is My Hero



Ok, so I think we all know that I'm addicted to "The City", but this hero first made her debut on "The Hills".

Kelly Cutrone is like none other. I consider her a hero for these reasons: she's a real ball buster (and she has none), she's a fashion icon and the founder of the PR branding and marketing firm People's Revolution, and lets face it, the girl calls it like she sees it. I mean, she told Stephanie Pratt at her interview “So you basically want to use my experience and my clients and my inside knowledge to ultimately leave here and make your own handbags?” Stephanie takes it back. Kelly asks if Stephanie knows how to make labels, speak French, and refrain from crying in the office. Stephanie says "she'll learn".

Post-interview, Kelly wants to talk to Lauren about Stephanie. Kelly is scared of hiring Stephanie but says that her inclination is to let her try because "the interview was such a folly that she could be a freaking genius."

When Kelly first interviewed Whitney, she informed her "I think it's really important to let you know this - You're basically making a deal with the devil." Whitney of course asks, "Why do you say that?" "Because you have to give up your life... The good news is you get a whole new one."

My most favorite quote "This is called multi-tasking, the power-bitch way."







No Boro' for the Snellings

Ok, so you know those moments in life where you've got "everything figured out" and then it just changes? Thats happened to us just recently.

After a trip to Statesboro over the weekend, Lee and I decided that it just wasn't the best fit for our family at the time. Needless to say, Lee has decided to not accept the position at Georgia Southern, so here we stay for a while. Am I excited? A little. It's not so fun to watch someone you love feel as though a great opportunity has past them by, but it was for the best we feel.

So what does this mean? Well, we will still be at good ol' GCSU for a while and that the job search continues.

I know my very talented and nerdy husband will find what works best for him!

I Have Decided...

  • That my child likes to party like it's 1999 at 5am a lot!

  • That not everything is as it appears.

  • That a job is never more important than your family.

  • That I really miss naps!

  • That naps are not more important than spending time with E-man.

  • That I should've been a bathingsuit model (but then I look in the mirror).

  • That I love PR and wish I was doing more of it.

  • That sometimes you think you know who your true friends are and then they change.

  • That spending time with family becomes more and more important the older you get.

  • That I love my husband more and more everyday.

  • That how you view a situation is all in your attitude.

From "The City" to "The Hills"


For those of you who know me well, you know that I consider myself very TV savvy. You can make fun of me all you want, but I am a MAJOR fan of "The City" and "The Hills" (well, The Hills less now that Lauren is gone).


So, as you've been reading, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my mind around this whole transition from The City to The Hills. I'm not dogging the big town of the boro', but I fancy Warner Robins a lot. Do "city" girls say fancy? Oh well, I do!


I now think the plan is for me and E man to stay with my mom until I find a job and Lee get's us all settled. I will start the countup (because I have nothing to count down) when I finally arrive.


Stay tuned folks!

The Really New Housewife of Statesboro


I've decided to write a blog to document my family's move to the big ol' town of Statesboro, GA. My husband, Lee, has recently accepted a Major Gifts Officer position in the Advancement Office at Georgia Southern University.


I have been asked on several occasions whether or not I am excited about this move. My typical response is "I have mixed feelings". I have lived in Middle Georgia my entire life, well, except for the three months I served as a missionary in Ocean City, MD. Needless to say, this will not be the easiest of transitions for me. I like my friends, my routine, and having my family close by. I do not enjoy the feeling of "returning to college" I get when thinking of renting an apartment for an indefinite amount of time.


I will not, however, miss the two hours in the car we spend driving to Milledgeville for work everyday. I hope that this will be a great opportunity for my husband, Ethan, and I to start over in a new community.

So, here we go!
