What I love Wednesday!

I AM LOVING... that Gigi is finally getting a haircut today.  She stinks and with her allergies she is just a knotted mess, even though she gets brushed like 5 times a day!

I AM LOVING... that since I couldn't attend my College 10 year reunion, D. decided to make me a scavenger hunt to keep my mind off it.  The highlights included dinner at Logans, shopping for a new pair of earrings and bowling.

I AM LOVING... that my good friend Ashley is starting a new dessert business called "A Petite Sweet".  Her initials happen to be APS...how cute is that!  Check out her Blog and Facebook page!

How delish do these look!

 I AM LOVING...this guy who always puts me first and treats me like a queen!

XOXO,

JAMIE

Jets & Guns!

We spent last weekend flying home to New Jersey and getting the chance to go to Monday Night Football and watch my NY Jets (FAB!) win against the Miami Dolphins (not FAB).  We got up there Saturday night late so the festivities didn't really start till Sunday.  Sunday was spent shooting shotguns and watching footballs and going to the local bar called Calloways...great food too!  D. had never shot skeet so he had a blast getting to smash the clay discs.  He wasn't a bad shot either!  I actually hit 2, but don't ask how many I didn't hit.

Monday we spent the day showing D. the "shore" I grew up at and getting our tailgate all ready.  The food..OMG did we have a ton of food.  

Menu: 

Littleneck Clams, Clam Chowder from the 2011 Chowderfest Winner "California Grill", Steak, London Broil, Polish and Italian Sausage, Fresh Mozzarella and Pepperoni, Chicken & Crab Legs....Not to mention beer, wine and champagne.  

A NY Jets staffer took a picture of us and said we had the best food he had seen at a tailgate.  We know how to do it right!  Tuesday came and we were exhausted and it was time for us to leave the Garden State and head back to the Palmetto State.  I am so glad that we did this for the 2nd year in a row and can't wait till next year!  J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!

Wouldn't be a game without cigars from Nick's Cigar World

Love my Sanchez!

10 Day Challenge!

Since I dropped off the blogging sphere for over a month (NOT FAB!) I figured I could use a little help getting back into my blogging groove.  So this is a 10 day challenge that is very popular and I thought it would be perfect for me.  

So I have to submit 10 SECRETS!  That is a little scary, but here it goes....in no particular order....

1. I get nervous speaking to a crowd if there are people I know.  If it's all strangers, totally fine.

2. I have no tolerance for people who are out of touch with reality and I tend to show it

3. Babies scare the crap out of me...okay not that big of a secret.

4.I sucked my thumb till I was 9, no idea which hand though..

5.I make up songs all the time about anything, like the character on New Girl.  I mean all the time and only my family and boyfriend know I do it.  I like to think of them as little jingles..

6. I am not a natural blonde...BAHAHAHAHAH!

7. CVS is one of my favorite stores and I can spend a lot of time and money in there..I love beauty products

8. I secretly wish I was a glam girl but I just don't have the touch.  Classic & comfort is me....

9. I miss the days of high school and all my girlfriends hanging out even though it was like 15 years ago and I haven't seen them in a ridiculously long time.

10. I wish I owned a really cool boutique that was the hottest place to shop.  Accessories, home decor, trendy items & local artistry.  

What I'm Loving Wednesday...Wedding!

I am loving that Cinderella and Prince Charming are getting married this weekend and I get to be a fairy bridesmaid!

No, in all seriousness it is my FAB! friends Tosca and Brad, but they are getting married at a castle...the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC!  It's going to be magical but better then that Disney kind of way!

These two mean the world to me and I am so happy for them!  I have a special friendship with each of them and am honored they wanted me by their sides on their big day!

Some NYE fun!

Hitting up the links !

Thank God IRENE is going to leave us alone! Can't wait for the fun!  Love you both! 

XOXO

Tail Wagging Tuesday! - Funny Dog

Linking up with my girl c-mae for Tail Wagging Tuesday!  

Today's topic is a funny pic of your furbaby!  As many of you know Gigi is a pretty funny dog so it was hard for me to pick just one...so here they are!

She likes to sleep as close to me as possible at work.  Her bed was there but she thought the desk made a better pillow.  She still does it to this day.  (like right now)

I left animal planet on and came out of the shower and caught her complete hypnotized by the Dog Whisperer

Learning from Caesar

When she was a puppy I had dropped a paper towel roll on the floor and she snatched it up.  She runs all over the house with it and holds it out like she is the leader.  Really funny to watch

 Shih Tzu's love anything they can try to rip up ie: paper.  I caught her in my closest one day with her head inside my Ugg boots trying to get at the sherling inside. 

XOXO

Summer Adventures - Firefly Distillery

Back in May I had made a list (view list here) of tourist things I wanted to do this summer.  Due to a crazy schedule this summer trying to get them done started to become a cloud over my head. But now I get to check one off my list.  Last weekend I had some friends from NJ come into town and a I tried to plan a lovely weekend for them in Charleston since they had never been there before.  We stayed at my favorite place Meeting Street Inn which has a lovely happy hour every day for free and a wonderful free breakfast.  Ask for Darren!

There is a step stool cause the bed is so high!

After arriving we had a great lunch at Amen Street.  I had never been here before and it was FAB!  I had the baked brie and she crab soup.  But the best was my Rum Peach Bellini that was AMAZING!

The Rum Floater totally makes it!

Great on a hot SC day!

Girls enjoying

We finished up the day shopping, a wine tasting at Charleston Tobacco & Wine and then dinner at the wonderful 39 Rue de Jean.  I had the Mussels in a vegetable cream sauce!  FAB!

The next day my girlfriends from Myrtle Beach met us at the Fresh Market for breakfast crepes! I had the Ham, Salami, Tomato and Cheese crepe and it was beyond great. We completed it with us sharing a Chocolate, Banana & Nutella crepe!

After crepes we were off to the Firefly Distillery!  I love Firefly Sweet Tea vodka and I was so excited to do a little tasting.  Ironically, my College was having an alumni event there and Marcie and I got to see one of our sorority sisters! 

<3 EK!

The Distillery is out in the middle of nowhere but a beautiful drive through the mossy oaks!  There is also a vineyard but word to the wise...do not try the wines, stick to the hard stuff!  Its a great place to bring a picnic lunch and just enjoy the nature and all the music and fun happening at the distillery.  I hope you get a feel for it through these pics.  I am going to be out that way again in September and I can't wait to bring D. and just spend the afternoon out there.
