Idle Hands...

Let's do something different this weekend!
K and I have lived in Charleston our whole lives and yet there are always new things to do!  But why, then, do we seem to do the same things over and over?  Well, it's because we love them!
But this weekend we are branching out, trying something out of our routine.
A couple of options:
1. The Charleston Museum














I haven't been to the Charleston museum since I was very young.  They have an exhibit going on of Civil War era clothing.  This sounds really neat!  We could also walk across the street and visit the Manigault house, which I LOVE!

2. Bee City: (Cottageville, SC)


























Oh boy, They have llamas at Bee City.
Okay, So I'm going to reveal a little nugget about myself.  When I was young I went away to summer camp.  Not cheerleader camp, band camp, or bible camp. No.  I went to Llama camp.  It's called Love-a-Llama, located in the Pisgah mountains.  Basically we fed, cleaned, walked the llamas around.  They are very sweet animals, relatives of the camel.  I love these creatures!
But, depending on the weather we may want to stay indoors.

3. Carolina Ice Palace










Let's skate!  Haven't been here in years either.  And it's always a great laugh!

What would you do??

Dog Days

K and I have been talking about getting a puppy at the beginning of next year.  Alfie will be the best big brother ever!















We've been debating over breeds!  I don't want another small dog.  Alfie is a low rider, you see.  He's short and thick (I like to think it's all muscle)... He's 30 lbs!   I don't want a lap dog but I'm aware that the size of our home is not sufficient for a large animal.
K talks about a shih tzu:














Cute, but not my style.

My dream dog is a wheaton terrior:














Holy moly, how cool is he!

But I think we're in agreement in our love for our state dog, the boykin:












We know a breeder and hopefully there will be a litter sometime within the next 6 months...
I can't wait to have another little chunk running around the house!

Does anyone have any advice on breeds?

It's okay...

You know the column in Glamour, "It's okay if.."  Well, here is my version!

It's okay to:
  • go to the grocery store 3 times in one day.
  • buy balloons just to suck the helium out.
  • wish they made the baby girl dress in your size.
  • listen to your favorite Christmas album in August. (Hanson Snowed In!)
  • think if Brad Pitt met you he'd definitely leave Angelina.
  • switch to Corona Lite for a "healthy night".
  • be somewhat disturbed by Suri Cruise.
Well, That's all I've got for right now!
Please tell me what's on your list!!

They grow up so fast these days!
