I just got home from dinner at Torrisi – a catch up night with Deb, Katie, James and Anna. That link is to their dining policy. Yes, a policy. I kid you not. We got an 8pm sitting. It was awesome. It was strange though that I hopped onto my Tumblr dashboard when I got…
Labor Day Weekend
A few weeks ago we celebrated the unofficial end of Summer with a trip Upstate for Labor Day weekend. It was going to be a relaxing few days. A family dinner back at the Carolina House (where we had our wedding party) and a trip to the Columbia Country Fair. I am a sucker for…
Queen of All Saints Cocktail Party
Yesterday we basically slept all day.. but with good reason! We desperately needed to catch up on the days of sleep that were severely in deficit and also last night we had the Queen of All Saints Cocktail Party. This was to help kick off the hundred year celebrations of our gorgeous church. I have…
Back!
We got back from our trip from Australia on Tuesday and I have so much to blog about! It has been a crazy few weeks, that is for sure. We packed so much in, it was a wonderful break and apart from the horrid flights home, we came back rested and feeling great. So bear…
No news is…
Anyone who knows me knows how much of a news junkie I am. I basically follow news 24/7 – US, Australia, UK, radio, TV, internet – it doesn’t stop. I found this love of mine was an absolute detriment when I moved here in 2008, even though I was in the land of 24/7 news….
Juicy!
Since I moved here my only juice of choice has been a carton of Tropicana Orange Juice. BB (before Bill) it would be Lots of Pulp. AB (after Bill) it is now Some Pulp. I think that even Some Pulp is too much for him! If you love orange juice you would the Tropicana choice…
I feel the earth move (twice)
So another frightening thing happened last week and that was the earthquake that shook the east coast. It was one of the worst feelings ever. I do not want to experience it again even though this wasn’t my first experience of an earthquake… read this from 2005. Bill had meetings in the afternoon so I…
Here comes the story of the Hurricane…
I started this post on Sunday night.. and continued it on Tuesday. The past 48 hours have been absolutely crazy. It is now Sunday night and I am exhausted. The alarm is going to go off at 6am tomorrow and I am going to want to turn it right off and go back to the…
What a week…
Ok I have a few blog posts in the making. All dealing with the earthquake, the hurricane and also a great night at Dave Matthews. This week has been crazy and my news addiction has truly spiraled out of control. We are totally fine and the reporting and information available here has been fantastic. Blog…
Goodbye weekend
I love weekends! Especially when they are super productive! After waking up at 5.30am on Saturday morning (this is becoming increasingly more common and also frustrating!) we did a big bedroom cleanup. While we live quite simply and uncluttered, I wanted to do a big bedroom clean deep clean. Cleaning the mattress protector, doing a…
