Dancing in the Dark

The Boyfriend had a trade show

this weekend

*insert shameless promotion here*

The Charleston Home and Design Show

was at the Gaillard Auditorium 

and since I am such a good girlfriend

~I came to hang out with him~

lucky me 

 the auditorium doors weren't locked 

I didn't find the Phantom of the Opera

but I did dance across stage

*no audience*

but still tons of fun

“I hope to hell that when I do die

 somebody has the sense to just dump me in the river or something. 

Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetary. 

People coming 

and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, 

and all that crap. 

Who wants flowers when you're dead? 

Nobody.”

Basil Birthday

*Charleston is known for food*

we have our own cuisine

but among all the lowcountry restaurants

there is a gem of a place

that is the favorite

of many locals

and the Boyfriend

So we hit up Basil 

~for his 28th~

and a little green curry

*Basil Duck*

and Thai Tea and Vodkas

*Yum*

Photo a day: Week Two

I'm sticking to my resolutions so far

~I even make the bed~

*It's been a busy week*

(successful surprise parties take work)

but the photo a day has been going strong

it only takes a second

and it ends up being a lot of fun

Be Creative: Photo a day

One of my goals for 2010

~is to be creative~

to me

 creative can be hard to define

but according to dictionary.com

*creative* is an adjective

having the quality or power of creating

resulting from the originality of thought

expression, imagination

originative, productive

~So in an effort to create~

I am taking a Photograph a day

*Here is my first week*

P.S.
once it warms up
I might actually take some pictures
outside of my house

Movie Night.

Boyfriend and I snuggled up

next to the fire 

-and got the Netflix rockin- 

we watched (500) Days of summer

which I found to be totally lovely & engaging

*didn't reach for my laptop once*

this song is from the film

found this video totally amazing

Nancy and I should hangout

how absolutely easy it was

i just poured melted caramel candies
over some low-fat popcorn
*orville is my favorite*

and placed in a 300 degree oven
for a few minutes
(tossing a few times to get it gooey)

*don't walk away though* 
it will burn the minute you walk away

P.S. thanks Laurel  : )
