I hate sounding repetitive but I'm here! Busy as a Tickled Pink B! Busy on the weekends and during the week and I'm trying to blog more but alas...here we are with the "once a week, list of updates."

Not much going on...we had a productive weekend. Got up Saturday, hardcore cleaned and finished unpacking boxes. We decided to get a storage shed for a few reasons, one being that our bed frame DOES not fit up the stairs (which was a hysterical episode). We also hit up the farmer's market for some fresh veggies and boiled peanuts. Boiled peanuts = happiness. Where a lady gave me a very snooty look and asked in a very tense voice "Is YOUR DOG OKAY??" Why yes, he's just fine sitting next to me, excitedly looking around. I mean, I understand getting nervous around other people's dogs in public, but seriously? Our dog has the most, "hey, I'm a goofy, young excited doggie face". Really? No menace and no need for snoot. Harumph.

Hosted the in-laws for a night (and avoided a touchy subject involved family members, fighting between siblings and a washer and dryer - no joke, thats a WHOLE new post for a WHOLE different day. All I can say is, it honestly amazes me how selfish and inconsiderate people can be in this world). However, we had a lovely dinner on the water and I enjoyed several DAMN good crabcakes and wine. Sunday was church and an invitation to a neighborhood fiesta and boat ride. We love meeting new people and hanging out but lately, we are the young couple who don't have kids in the midst of families with 2 or 3 kids. And we don't care at alllll, but it seems that everyone loves to make a point about how we don't have kids. Yeah, we know! We are young and looking down that path sooner rather than later. Anyhoooo...no plans but working and getting our backyard summer grilling spot together.

Reading "Savannah Blues" by Mary Kay Andrews

Listening to singer Estelle. Do you need a new workout or new good music?? This chick is great and has Kanye, John Legend oh her album. She's great with a different, funky sound!
