Washed Out

October 27, 2012

This weekend was one that had been circled on our calendar for a long time.  One of our favorite bands (The Old 97s) is playing a show in Chapel Hill tonight.  They are doing an anniversary tour of one of my all time favorite albums, Too Far To Care.  I can’t even begin to count […]

Haunted Pub Crawl

October 14, 2012

(Alternate titles for this post could be written as, “The Night I Decided to Act Like I Was in my 20s” or “Hangovers = Pain when you are old”) A few weeks ago I was out to dinner with some friends.  We started talking about Halloween events around town that we could do together.  Someone […]

The September Round-Up

September 30, 2012

As I as sorting through my pictures from September, I realized that there were a few things that I meant to blog about, but, never got around to.  I blame the start of college and professional football season for this oversight. Over Labor Day weekend we began the week long celebration of Danny’s birthday.  This […]

Identity Theft

September 18, 2012

Sometime yesterday afternoon, my (occasionally) sweet girl Gracie had her identity stolen. It seems that a dog similar to Gracie in stature decided that it really did not feel like being groomed.  Instead, it pretended to be Gracie – while my furry, unsuspecting girl, lured by the scent of chicken nuggets, was duped into getting […]

Mountain Wedding

August 13, 2012

A few months ago, an invitation for my cousin’s wedding arrived in the mail.  I was in the middle of my “busy season” at work and the summer was starting to drag a bit.  After looking over my calendar, I decided that a getaway to the mountains of NC for a wedding seemed like a […]

Doggie Paddle

August 5, 2012

We are not sure what breeds of dog that Gracie is mixed with.  She was a rescue and is 100% mutt (and proud of it).  Having said that, I think that we can rule out any type of “water dog” in her DNA. Danny’s sister and her family are in the final stages of getting […]

Boat Day

July 15, 2012

Here’s the thing – having friends with a boat is really cool. Due to the fact that both myself and Danny are kind of lazy, we hardly ever make it down to the beach on the weekends.  Packing up the car, driving across the bridge, finding a parking spot, etc…it requires a lot of effort […]

Festive Fourth

July 5, 2012

Our friends Nate and Julie had a fun little cookout to celebrate the 4th of July this year. I spent the day getting geared up by laying on the sofa reading a book on my (severely outdated) Kindle.  Recently, I have been really into decompressing on my time off by reading.  Once we arrived at […]

The June Roundup

July 1, 2012

Because the heat has melted my brain, here is what I have been up to for most of June 2012 (besides working, not much of anything). In early June, Danny lost his mind decided to buy a truck. While I still do not really understand why he needed to make this purchase, I have come […]

High Water Mark

June 3, 2012

Remember me? It’s been awhile. The last time I wrote, we were just finishing up our trip to San Francisco, where I realized just how woefully out of shape I had become.  Upon our return, I decided that it was time to rededicate myself to achieving at least some semblance of cardiovascular fitness.  I dubbed […]
