Happy Birthday Mr. Wizard

Happy Belated Birthday to Mr. Wizard. Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, turned 85 yrs old on July 10. That’s a significant birthday reached by an awesome guy. I bought your books, watched your TV show, and generally attribute a large part of my nerdiness to you. Thanks for making me the geek I am today! You can still buy the […]

Mariko & Pemba

Last weekend, I traveled to Boulder, Colorado to go to the wedding of my dear friend Mariko. Mariko is Japanese; she married Pemba Sherpa who hails from Nepal originally. The wedding was at an outdoor ampitheater; 2 Buddhist monks officiated (1 Zen Buddhist for Mariko, the other Tibetan Buddhist for Pemba). It was quite an experience. Everything made this wedding […]

Ridiculous Eyewear

This weekend presented the opportunity for many people to sport absurd eyewear, especially at Rob’s pool par-tay. Adam in my froggie goggles: Kalli in Erin’s fancy sunglasses: Me in my new sunglasses, inspired by Erin’s uber-style: So hawt am I! I have to admit, I love the new trend of ridiculously large sunglasses.

Happy Birthday Rob!

Bye Bye Winter Blahs

Well, it’s Spring Break at the Beach. What does that entail? 1) The beginning of the tourist infiltration. They take over our roads, restaurants, parks, shops…This is the time of year when the locals learn to be very patient & eat out very late (or very early). 2) Bathing suits. I don’t really want to go buy a bathing suit […]

6 Weeks to Suzanne 3.0

I’ve been an avid gold gym’s member for about 11 months now; I go at least 3 times a week (but more usually 4-5 times) for cardio & strength training. My routine has varied very little over this period of time; I do 45 minutes of cardio & some abs each day followed by strength training–1 day of biceps & […]

Beach Snow

Nevermind that it won’t accumulate! Today, for the first time in the 2+ years I have lived here, we had snow. It’s so rare to see the white stuff here. It’s been sooo warm here lately; last week, I didn’t even wear my winter coat. Yay!

Traffic Court

Well, today I was a lucky girl! I spent 3 hours of my morning sitting in the Horry County Traffic Court with all of my other traffic-law-offending compadres. I’d like to thank Officer Davis for being such a great trooper. Initially, he gave me a $150/No Points ticket. At court, he went ahead and recommended a $75/No Points ticket. Made […]

Happy Anniversary

Today (January 9th) is my 2 year anniversary with my awesome boyfriend Rob. Two years ago this day, I tried to pick him up, was rebuffed, tried again, and got asked for my digits! Here’s to Stoolie’s, best friends, graphic designers, duke plates, first hugs, horror movies, & that wierd guy who kept taking my lutheran sale hat Happy Anniversary […]

Post Christmas Vacay

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I really had a great one. I enjoyed an intimate meal Christmas Eve with my boyfriend’s family. The highlight of the evening (aside from the awesome gift-giving & recieving) was the reaction of the 5 dachschunds to their christmas presents. We had lunch on Christmas day at my parent’s house; more of […]

UGH…cough..cough…hack

I’m miserably sick right now. Last Tuesday I began sniffling + fever. That continued until Friday when I though I was actually feeling better. No such luck. I spent the weekend on Lake Wylie in Charlotte (will post the pictures later), and it was gorgeous, but I couldn’t really enjoy it because I felt so awful. Now it’s even worse. […]

Day at the Beach

This past weekend Rob and I headed to the beach to play some frisbee. We both *mistakenly* thought now that September’s almost over, the weather is cooler. Au contraire! We were the only people on the beach in long pants and it was HOT! The sand, the sun, we looked like crazy people in jeans…wait, that’s pretty close to the […]
