lowcountry food bank - volunteer work

My team at work volunteered together at the Lowcountry Food Bank two weeks ago. We bagged 2390 pounds of sweet potatoes into 5 pound bags for their Saturday program, where families are able to pick up boxes of healthy food. This was the first time I had volunteered for them and definitely plan to work with them again. Other than the fact that it was extremely hot in the warehouse - it was tons of fun!

Yep yep, that is me above. I am sure I was complaining to Mr Cal about how hot it was. Like he hadn't already noticed. ;)

i heart "knackage"

Seeing a new post pop up from knack makes my day. Every single time.

Check out her blog - there are plenty of others to drool over.

bar golf pictures

Not much to report - I lost, thankfully! Take a look at the rules in this post to see why I am glad I lost. Needless to say, everyone in downtown Charleston hated us on Saturday night. Bouncers especially.
To my girls that missed it this year - I made it home alone, in a cab, without drama, with all my credit cards and my phone! Yeay me!

new home update

Those pictures were taken on moving day. Too much stuff!

I am currently separating things into piles - Yard Sale pile and Back to Columbia for Storage pile.
My brother is coming in the next couple of days to pick up the Columbia pile so hopefully I will then have a better idea of how much space I have in the den area and where to put everything.
Until then, I will leave you with a picture of the horse I was dogsitting in the middle of moving.



Just a suggestion - do not offer to dogsit a dog that you don't know, while in the middle of moving. This dog was a sweet as they come but boy did she have separation anxiety. This huge lab managed to fit through my cat door at my old place on moving day and then broke through the screen door and went swimming in the swamp behind my house. The next day she managed to get through the cat door at my new place and get stuck on the porch with no water while I was at work. Story of my life. :)

SYTYCD This Woman's Work

I am sure many of you saw this last night. If not, you should definitely watch this now. Most clips on youtube have been removed for some reason but I finally just found this one that works.



Incredible.

oh yes, mr andrew bird in charleston!

Coming to the Music Farm October 2nd

So, for some odd reason my friends still don't totally trust my taste in music. Or maybe it's just b/c we are all getting older and going to the hot and stinky Music Farm is not their idea of a perfect night. Anyhoo...I am pleasantly surprised every now and then at the "randoms" that Music Farm brings in and somebody (Morgan...hint hint) better go see Andrew Bird with me!

Andrew Bird with Mucca Pazza - "Fitz & The Dizzyspells”


I missed The Bravery and Rilo Kiley b/c nobody wanted to go see them with me and I am not missing this one. OR Donavon Frankenreiter who will be there August 10th.



Is it Friday yet?

Pictures of my new place to come soon! :)

moving day today!
