An industrious sinner I much prefer to a lazy saint.~ Sophie Kerr

South Carolina

 has been named the 8th laziest state

 in the nation

(lucky us??)

*To Celebrate*

the Boyfriend and I went on a little

~Staycation~

we may or may not have snuck into a very

touristy beach resort

complete with cabana bar 

to drink frozen drinks 

and enjoy the pre arranged beach loungers 

*and umbrellas*

(there is a bikini top somewhere i swear)

It was a lovely way

~ to spend the afternoon ~

New Phone

So this is exactly how I felt about

the boyfriends iphone

until.....

*I got one too*

now we play scrabble together

~and everything is just dandy~

I love lamp.

(available here)

I saw this lamp in avondale

a few years ago

~and have never forgotten it~

I just don't know how to use it in the house

it's kinda a statement piece

P.S. it comes in pink too!

“No bees, no honey; no work, no money”

My momma is allergic to honey bee stings

~I've never been stung~

*still*

Bee Keeping interests me

the boyfriend says only if we had more property

There is a organic farm in San Francisco 

that has put time and energy into

farming and educating a community

Earlier this week

someone vandalized their thriving bee hives

killing over 250,000 honey bees

honeybees are already threatened 

I don't understand what would bring someone 

to do something like that

~it's a terrible thing~

Visit Hayes Valley Farm

for more information 

*Click here to donate for more hives*

A New Kind of Love~

One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies

is 

A New Kind of Love

It's silly

It doesn't take itself too seriously 

and even though it may not have won any Oscars
I love to watch it on a rainy day afternoon

The Sixties fashion is fab

the story is hilarious
*Mistaken identity*Prostitution*Paris*

I need to break out my DVD's 

~Just thinking about it~

A home fit for a toad

It's Hot Outside!

(understatement)

~thank goodness for popsicles~

I was thinning out my basil

*the secret ingredient in my tomato sandwiches*

when a toad popped out

from under the soil

He found a nice cool spot

to make it through the summer!

-he's welcome to stay-

now that I know he's there

*he did scare the daylights out of me though*

the first time he came flying out of the soil

about the new job.

*The new job is hectic*

I'm enjoying learning new things

and meeting new people

(i'm still bartending)

I'm working more hours 

so when I have a day off

*today is the only one I'll see this week*

the boyfriend and I don't really do much

other than go to costco 

and read magazines

Bees Knees Cheese

Giddy Goat Cheese

is a very special

local product

I picked some up

at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market

it is smooth

creamy

and has that delicious goat cheese "bite"

I had to restrain myself

from just eating it straight out of the container

*I atleast needed some nice bread*

to slather it on

~ I especially like the logo ~

That goat is a cutie

my cousin the pirate.

A match made in Carolina Heaven~

Two of my Favorite foods 

have teamed up

for some type

~of addictive~

*ridiculously tasty*

deep fried doughnut soda combo

Krispy Kreme+Cheerwine

(amazing right?!)

I checked 3 stores and finally found

a box

of Cheerwine filled Krispy Kremes!

So here are my thoughts on this Carolina inspired treat

~my love for Cheerwine knows no limits~

and the creme inside the doughnut

is a nice representation of the intense cherry flavor 

that Cheerwine is known for

~medicinal aftertaste and all~

Pair that with a light fluffy Krispy Kreme doughnut

and top with fudge and sprinkles

it's a chocolate covered cherry doughnut

with a southern flair 

*I love them*

The flavors of my childhood 

met and had a baby

it's awesome!

This Holiday

reminds me of family

fireworks

and summer nights on a pontoon boat
