Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • We leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow! I still have a bunch of stuff I need to get done tonight, but that’s mostly laundry, packing, and cleaning. I did bunch more running around today. Got my hair fixed so I don’t look like Reba’s cranky aunt anymore, bought a bunch of fun stuff at…

  • Yesterday I attended the wedding of my dear friend Shannon and her beloved Mustachio.  It was beautiful.  She was beautiful.  Emily was just precious in her poofy dress.  And Tony’s mustache has never looked better.  CSP had to work (since we’re leaving in less than a week for Lisa’s wedding) so Gigi (my Mom) was…

  • CSP is sitting behind me watching a bunch of lame tv shows for 3-4 minutes at a time.  Just long enough for me to get mildly interested before he switches to a new channel.  Grrrr.  Why we are suffering through this parade of mediocre tv when we could be watching Big Love season 2 disc…

  • My family came over tonight for chili eating and Wii playing.  I made a ginormous batch of beer & black bean chili.  YUM.  Gigi (my mom) brought over yummy corn muffins.  But the highlight of the evening was playing the Wii with my nephews Jacob and Joey.  OMG they are just too cute.  Joey gets…

  • Momo is in town for her Fall break!  So today I picked her up and we went to brunch.  After brunch shopped around a little in the attached store where I found 2 Yankee candles for 50% off.  Woot!  Then we waited in line and got some gas (yep, still having some problems in the…

  • Last night CSP, Zoe and I went over to Sara’s for dinner since my father was in town.  Jake and Joey were uber cute and the weather was great.  We hung out outside for a while before dinner watching the boys ride their bikes.  Joey had a bit of trouble with his helmet. He says…

  • Last night I went over to Sara’s for dinner with her, my nephews, and my father.  I could barely sleep Sunday night knowing he was coming.  And not out of excitement.  He still makes my stomach hurt.  In case you’re wondering, he never won Father of the Year.  We ordered Chinese and I got to…

  • CSP came home from work Saturday night and told me at almost midnight that his parents were coming for dinner Sunday afternoon.  The same afternoon I’d reserved for Shannon to work on her place cards.  Luckily she is as understanding as she is fabulous.  So the in-laws came over and we celebrated Oktoberfest with brats,…

  • Yesterday I had a Pampered Chef party.  2 parties down, 1 to go- then I’m done hosting until Christmas Eve.  Whew!  The PC party was fun, even though attendance wasn’t what I’d hoped (gas is still a HUGE issue here).  Mini vent: why don’t people understand what RSVP means anymore?  I’ve actually been told “Well…

  • Yesterday I had a doctor apointment then met up with my Mom.  We went to visit my Grandmommy at the nursing home.  She’s in the Alzheimer ward for those of you just joining us.  We took her to the beauty parlor room where Mom washed, cut, and blew out Gmommy’s hair.  Then we took her…
