Living out loud in the Carolinas

Month: January 2011

  • I’ve been telling you about some of my favorite apps.  If you are a pop culture junkie like me then you for sure need to go download Get Glue.  I use this app so much it’s on my iPhone’s home page.  That says a lot.  You check in on your GetGlue app (for Android and…

  • Over the holidays I was at my friend Christina’s house for movie night one night.  Her 6 year old daughter Ella is in her first year of cheerleading.  While I was there we had this conversation: E:  Are you coming to my first competition? Me:  Of course I will!  I’ll yell really loud and I’ll…

  • Yesterday Gigi, Sara & I went out to celebrate Gigi’s birthday that’s coming up on the 12th.  We went to lunch at Gigi’s favorite restaurant Red Lobster.  The entire world was waiting for a table.  We were finally seated and enjoyed a nice lunch.  Sara mentioned to our waitress that it was Gigi’s birthday.  Next…

  • People, for YEARS now I have been searching for the perfect water bottle. I drink a lot of water and have a water bottle with me at all times.  I used Kleen Kanteen for a few years but the sport cap was annoying (cricket sound when drinking) and so was the extra cost of buying a…

  • I was at my friend Christina’s house the other night for movie night when she asked me did I want some egg nog, that she could whip some up.  Wha?  Make egg nog?  I thought you just opened the carton!   Next thing I know Christina is rifling through her recipe box and pulling out…

  • For the last 8 years (up until our yard sale in November) we sat every day on a bright red Ektorp sofa from IKEA.  We rented a giant moving truck and drove it up to the College Park, Maryland IKEA to buy it (before there was an IKEA anywhere closer).  We bought the matching chair…

  • Recent conversation with CSP: CSP:  What if you were a bird and you were afraid of heights? Me:  You’d just walk around instead of flying. CSP:  That would be terrifying.  Cars everywhere.  You’re in traffic.  No one can see you cause you’re so small.   And you have no access to decent medication.  I  mean,…

  • 2011 is going to be a big year for us.  On March 3 CSP & I will celebrate 10 years married.  On December 12 CSP will turn 40.  Between March & December we’ll have lots of other things going on as well I’m sure.  We’ve decided to celebrate those two milestones with a Disney Cruise…

  • CSP & I have been in a race since late September.  We’ve been racing to see who could earn their Starbucks Gold Card first.  He won.  He flashed that thing around at Christmas like a newly engaged girl showing off her engagement ring.  You’d think he’d been given a free pass to the Playboy mansion.…

  • This Christmas was the first White Christmas that Charlotte has experienced since 1947! It didn’t start snowing where we were until dinner, but hey- that still counts!  The day after Christmas, Boxing Day for our Canadian friends, CSP, Zoe, and I went out to look at the snow. We got about 3.5-4 inches in our…
