Vacation Recap Part I // Johnny Cash



Hello there :)

Jet-lag is no fun! I was suffering BAD all last week, so excuse my lack of posting. I got back Monday in the afternoon, and went back to work Tuesday, 8:30 AM. Not the best idea I've ever had, but I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my lovely M! I can't wait to have him back over here again, soon.

My time in Arkansas was awesome! What I did? Most of all: I ate. A lot. Some might say: too much.
M's mom doesn´t really cook, so we went to a Buffet almost every day. And I literally ate all I could eat! And since it was my vacation, I didn't even CARE! I didn't count calories, I didn't move a lot. I was lazy. And it was great!

I have never been to Arkansas before, and I must say it`s a lovely little GREEN state! Besides all the eating I did a whole lot of sightseeing as well. Little Rock was wonderful! A small city, but a lot of history. I will share some of my favorite places on here during the next days, since I took tons of pictures.

One rainy day, M and I decided to drive to Pine Bluff, to go to the mall. The mall was bad, besides the Popcorn and my manicure. But on the way there, I saw this sign:


You know me - I LOVE country music! I LOVE Johnny Cash! I screamed and made M drive back for about a mile so I could take a picture of the sign.
Back at Camden, we showed the photo to his mom, and she didn't even know, Mr Cash was born just a couple of miles away from her hometown! A small little sign, that made my day. Kingsland is ummmmm not really nice though, so I understand why Johnny Cash moved away.

Gotta go back to work now, but I will keep posting some more nice sightseeing pics this week!

Have you ever been to Arkansas? What's a must see for me when I go there again?

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

#NaPloPoMo // abc´s Nashville



One of my favourite TV shows at the moment is "Nashville" on abc. It airs on WEDNESDAYS 10|9c, and so far there are 4 Episodes - enough time for you guys to catch up! I love country music, and I love good TV shows. "Nashville" is a great combination of both!
"Chart-topping Rayna James (Connie Britton) is a country legend who's had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she's not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna's record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can't wait to steal Rayna's spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career?

Complicating matters, Rayna's wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna's handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna's wishes.

Nashville stars Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story) as Rayna, Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) as Juliette, Powers Boothe (MacGruber, 24) as Lamar, Charles Esten (Enlightened, Big Love) as Deacon, Eric Close (Chaos, Without a Trace) as Teddy, Clare Bowen as Scarlett, Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) as Avery, Sam Palladio as Gunnar and Robert Wisdom as Coleman.
