Derby Season is in full effect, y'all. Here in Louisville, we're trying to squeeze in as much fun as we can into a few weeks. It's our city's very own holiday, and there's a lot to enjoy! If Derby Season is in full effect for you, you'll certainly recognize these signs.

1. You started scheduling meetings for A.D. (After Derby) in February.
2. Benedictine and country ham are considered major food groups.
3. You're now making twice-weekly dry cleaner runs.
4. Your weekend plans involve avoiding Thunder at all costs.
5. You're afraid your mint plants aren't growing quickly enough. You'll need A LOT, you know.
6. You JUST KNOW that this is the year you can get your husband to wear bow ties to everything. 
7. Your smartphone's calendar includes way more evening events than work events.
8. You go by The Peppermint Palm, Circe, and Rodes every few days.
9. You need a break from bourbon... and from sweet tea.
10. You've already attended multiple events centered around making or purchasing a hat, and your guest bedroom is starting to resemble a milliner's back room.

Happy Derby Season, y'all!!
