Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The other night I went over to Casa de Mustachio for dinner & visiting.  We ate FABULOUS Thai food for dinner from a local place (Em’s a champ at eating Thai- that’s awesome for a 3 year old!) then Em did some modeling for me.  She showed me her Princess Tiana Halloween costume. Check out…

  • Last night Christina and I went to the roller derby!  It was so fun!  It all started when I watched the movie Whip It.  I grew up spending most of my summers in my family’s skating rink in Florida.  I could skate by the time I was 2 years old.  Then I graduated high school…

  • Yesterday I spent the afternoon with 2 of my favorite girls, Shannon & Emily.  We met for soup & salad at Olive Garden.   I can’t remember the last time I ordered anything other than Zuppa Toscana, salad, and breadsticks.  Emily lit up as soon as I walked in.  She climbed right in my last…

  • Last night my friend Christina and I went out for a bite of dinner.  She had suggested TGIFridays so we went in and put our name down.  We knew something was up right away.  There was a white, residential floor fan out in the waiting area.  On.  And it wasn’t doing much good.  When we…

  • I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day Weekend!   Friday CSP & I had our adoption physicals.  They took longer than I thought they would & included blood draws.  Sorry CSP, didn’t read the fine print on that form!  Saturday CSP took his mom to the baseball game for some Mother’s Day time together.…

  • The other day we walked out to the car and there was a lady and a toddler in our driveway.  I said hello and she said “Oh, hi, sorry, we’re getting out of the way.  We were just following the vulture” and she picked up her son and walked away.  I didn’t see a vulture…

  • Last night we went out to celebrate Papa’s upcoming 60th birthday.   We had a fabulous dinner at Carrabbas. Sara, Jacob, Joey, Momo, her new boyfriend J , CSP, Gigi and I were all there.  

  • This year for Halloween we went to Papa & Gigi’s house. Every year all the neighbors in their cul-de-sac gather together to eat and pass out candy. We’ve always heard about it but have never seen it in action. Sara, Marc, Jacob, Joey & I piled into their truck with our potluck dishes, card table,…
