The day to be jealous of people who don’t live in North America

Posted in Books, Charleston, dogs, Favorite People, Food and Drink, summertime on June 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

For the most part, I believe America to be the greatest place in the world. We definitely have our own problems, and there definitely parts of America that hold no interest for me as place of permanent dwelling, but as a whole, America is pretty great. More specifically, the South East is pretty awesome. I love [...]

Happy Friday the 13th!

Alternatively, Happy Charleston Bike Week! Since I drive by a Harley Davidson Dealership on my way to work, I got to see a parade this morning. Hooray! Who doesn’t love a bunch of motorcycles blocking a busy intersection on Friday morning at 8:55 am? They were even selling italian ice. It is getting pretty warm [...]

Tweny-Leven

Posted in Charleston, summertime, Thoughts, Weather on January 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Last January, I struggled with the pronunciation of 2010. Twenty-Ten? Two-Thousand-Ten? Eventually, I was told that the correct pronunciation was Twenty Ten. Okay. This year, I’m again confused. Twenty Eleven? Two Thousand and Eleven? Most of the radio commercials here in Charleston have decided to go with Tweny-Leven, which I’m fairly certain is not the [...]

Short work weeks and Shade

The best thing about a Monday holiday is that on Thursday you think it is Wednesday and Friday is here before you know it. I got home on Monday from a six day long trip to Chicago for work then to Charleston for pleasure. It was pouring down rain and I was so happy because [...]

Find out who your friends are

Sorry I’ve been sort of non posting. I wish I could say that my mind is blank, but that’s just not true. I’ve just been too lazy to commit anything to print. But I want to tell y’all that Peter and JBlanchard are the best friends ever. Saturday, on the 4th of July, Emily and [...]

Ahh, Summertime.

The orkin man called me today to tell me that they have a special on mosquito treatments right now. A steal for only $70 a month. When I got to work this morning it was so hot in my office that I almost had to go downstairs to the conference room to drink my coffee. [...]

The Clouds Dissolve and the Sky Turns Blue….

Posted in Favorite People, summertime on May 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »

This past weekend was tons of fun. I didn’t actually come home until this morning, which is always a much better idea in theory than in practice. I’m exhausted. I woke up every two hours last night because I was afraid of oversleeping. Or it might have been the fact that the sweet tea vodka [...]

The Ultimate Drink Stop

Posted in Augusta, summertime, Weddings on May 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I love summer. Now, instead of having Kate (the runner, not my mom) bring us starbucks treats in the afternoon, she brings us Sonic slushies! I like grape slushies. I don’t drink caffeine in the afternoon and I drink a lot of coffee in the morning so a slushy is infinitely better than starbucks. Plus [...]

Without Coffee, life would be much less bearable

Posted in summertime, Weddings, Work on April 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I know I’ve told y’all before how much I love coffee, but I just thought I’d remind you. Lots of huge important things have happened this week, my car hit 180,000 miles, I won my first case, and I had to go back into my house the other day to get my shoes because I’d [...]
