ChrisRstyle: I was at the mall the other day looking for things for Christmas, and I saw the person in line in front of me fork over fifteen hundred dollars for a David Yurman dog tag! Oy vey, let’s be honest; as much as I love nice clothing, fifteen hundred dollars for a dog tag in a recession is a little excessive. Why not go to Astrein’s in Birmingham and spend MUCH less on a dog tag that you can personalize! Choose from peace signs, hearts and more. Think about it as a responsible way to spend your money!
SamlovesBham: Hey everybody! So, only 2 more weeks of hitting the books and then….winter break!!! You’ll have all the time in the world to do whatever you want, but what is there to do? Here are some suggestions:
SamlovesBham: Hey everybody! For those of you who go to Seaholm or Groves, a new trimester starts this week! New trimester = new classes and new classes can sometimes require you to go buy new books! Whether you need a Spanish-English dictionary, or a new copy of an old classic, you can find it at Borders in Birmingham (it’s off of Woodward). Even if you don’t NEED a book, you may be a book lover like me and just WANT one 
The Borders in Birmingham has books, music, movies, and more! It even has a cafe on the upper level, just in case you want to read a good book while sipping some hot cocoa (it’s getting cold outside)! So be sure to check it out!
SamlovesBham: The annual Birmingham Lighting ceremony is this Wednesday November 25th!! It’s from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on the steps of City Hall and even though it might be a little cold, there will be Chirstmas music and hot chocolate for everybody!! Come with friends or family, you can eat dinner in Birmingham and watch the city light up for the holiday season! I go every year with friends and family and always have a blast – it gets me excited for the MOST wonderful time of the year!!
SamlovesBham: The state meet for girls swimming was this weekend and our hometown teams (Seaholm and Groves) swam great! Groves finished in 6th place overall with 2 fantastic divers and some great races by their swimmers! Seaholm (Go Maples!) finished 4th overall, and all the girls on the team swam their best times, dove their best dives and had a blast! The relays were especially exciting, the medley relay of Kelsey, Calley, Megan, and Emily finished 6th (1.49.41!), the 200 free relay of Sam (me
