The Boy Did Good...

So... how was everyone's Valentine's Day?! Not gonna lie.. I had maybe the best EVER!! Let me preface this by telling you a bit about me or you're just going to be like "Huh? I don't understand?!". So I love all things scary. Scary movies (not slasher films-- I hate movies like Scream), ghost stories, haunted places, etc. Which is weird because I hate being scared. I know this because Mr. Perfect scares me at least once fifty times a day. Whole other story. I am not a fan of this habit of his!! But I digress...

I am also a huge history fan. Seriously. Love. It. Like in a can't get enough, read about it, Google historic facts way.

All this to tell you about our V-day. Which happened to be the day after an even better day; that's right, Friday the 13th.


Mr. Perfect called me at work Friday and asked me to leave early. Trust me. He didn't have to ask me that twice!! Then he told me to come on home. I told him "No prob. I'll just swing by the gym for a bit". To which he said "Nope. Come straight home." WHAT?! You can't tell me to skip the gym and think I'm not going to know somethings up!!! So I whined for five minutes a minute, but then agreed to just come on home.

I get home and Mr. Perfect tells me I have 30 minutes to get changed and pack an overnite bag. Right.... Give me something I can realistically do!!! An hour later I was ready to go. (NO idea what I'd packed. I know I didn't have his definition of comfortable shoes!)

We headed to the Historic Downtown district of our lovely little city. Once we headed there he told me we were going to eat at the Pirate House. Yay! 1) I've actually never eaten there in my 26 years in this town, 2) it's deliciously "haunted" (a must for Friday the 13th), and 3) I've heard the food is incredible.
It was. My drink was even better. And we got to hear a ghost story from a pirate while eating! They don't do that at Chili's!!

Mr. Perfect enjoying his food..


Me enjoying mine and my delicious "Flirtini". No clue. Cute name!


After stuffing ourselves silly dinner, we walked down to another cute restaurant for dessert and coffee for Mr. Perfect, wine for me. I'd been to this restaurant before but it had been years. Just as good as I remembered.

Then on to our next stop. (I was currently regretting my not so comfortable shoe choice, but don't you dare tell Mr. Perfect!!) We got back to the Pirate's House and on to this!!


That's right!! We did a Ghosts and Gravestones Haunted Tour of the City!!! Shut up! I've always wanted to do one of these! It was great. I absolutely loved it. How could you combine history and ghosts and not have a successful evening?! I thoroughly enjoyed this. We don't take enough advantage of the gorgeous City we live in and any time we do "touristy" things like this, we always like it. So this was a grand slam in the idea department!

But he wasn't done yet... After we climbed our slightly frozen behinds off the trolley, we headed out to lovely little Tybee Island to spend the night out on the beach. Yep. Oceanfront room for the nite please!! It was awesome! (I realize there are WAY too many exclamation points in this point but Mr. Perfect deserves them!)
We stayed out on Tybee for this night, and then got up for lunch at our favorite restaurant of all time, The Crab Shack. It was kind of cold, but we love this season at the Crab Shack. No tourists and only locals make it a very relaxed place to have lunch. We eat here too much. We can call the servers by name.

Us leaving the Crab Shack.



I honestly had the best weekend ever. Mr. Perfect even made me the best card. He hates buying cards but I love cards, so this made my day. Every day that goes by that I get to spend with this man is a little better than the one before. I swear I love him more and more each day!! I truly hope you all had a great day!!

Something's Fishy...

Mr. Perfect had me leave work early today. Then skip the gym (mighty brave little one, mighty brave..). Now I come home to be told I have 30 minutes to pack a bag and get dressed (and I'm blogging?!). I think somebody might just be in for a great Valentine's Day!!!

Hope you all have a great one! Apparently I'll be M.I.A for the next 24 hours....

The Letter Game

If you want to play, leave a comment on this post letting me know, and I'll assign you a letter. You post ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on. I got the letter N from one of my fave bloggers, Mrs. Mojito over at Make Mine a Mojito!

1. Nighttime. Seriously, I can be exhausted from the minute I wake up til about 5:30 pm, but the minute the sun goes down I am wired!! This makes for many long days at work!!



2. Nightlife! This goes hand in hand with numero uno! I love being out at nite!! I might be part vampire. Except I hate blood. Guess that wouldn't work after all....



3. Nine West. Enough said. They make my favorite shoes ever. My everyday black sling backs... Oh I just love them!


4. Nickelodeon. Well old school!! Remember the good 'ol days of SNICK?!? Oh gosh I loved Saturday Night On Nickelodeon!! Clarissa Explains it All and Are You Afraid of the Dark were the bomb! (Let's throw some old school slang in while we're on the topic of SNICK!!) Whatever happened to good old fashioned TV?!?


5. Newlyweds.. No lie! I miss that time when it's all so fresh and new and the fights are heartbreaking and the makeups are amazing!! While I love a marriage 4 or so years in, there's nothing quite like those first few months years!! You'll never get to rediscover each other like that again!!

And.. Newlyweds the show!! Is it sad that I own all 4 seasons on DVD?!? I still watch it and so miss the way they were!! Oh Nick and Jessica.. what happened to you?!
.::Disclaimer: I was mildly obsessed with this show. I make no apologies!!::.






6. Nanny. My grandmother who passed away when I was 15. I didn't really get to spend much time with her while she was alive, but she left a lasting impression on me. That lady was tough!! Plus she gave me my first sip of beer! Blame her for my college years!!


7. New York City.. I cannot say enough about my love for this city. I love the energy, the fashion, the people, the jobs.. Seriously. I could go for days. When I was growing up, I didn't want the typical get married, have kids, etc. life that so many women want. I wanted to move to NYC, live in a studio apt. by myself, and write. I have yet to visit, but it will never change my love for this city... Oh New York.. I love you!!!


I'm done! I seriously can't think anymore!!! But while you're here.. check this out! Bama Belle in the Big City is doing a Fantabulous giveaway on her blog!! So head on over there and give her a shout!! Let me know if you wanna play this little game! It's a fun trip down memory lane =).

Seriously?!

I'm having violent thoughts about this woman. I can't help it. Seriously. Who let this woman get in this situation?! I have a problem with the doctors who allowed a woman in her position get implanted with 6 embryos. I get that she had 6 done before and ended up with a singleton, but COME ON! Let's think about the risks here people! I am flabbergasted by her. For taking the risk that she did when she had 6 little lives at home she's already responsible for. I can't say enough about the problems I have with this. The saddest part is there are now 8 little babies in this world that are completely innocent and will more than likely struggle with everyday challenges simply because their mother can't support them as well as they may need. I'm sickened at the extra cost she just took on herself when she was already barely making it. I pray for her in the future. And those 14 children.

By the way.. and I get that this is catty, I'm completely agreeing with the gossip sites that say this woman wants to be Angelina Jolie!! Did you see her interview with Ann Curry last nite?!? 'Ol Angie would've thought it was her!! Same mannerisms, same lips. I do not kid you. You Tube it.

I loved Kate Gosselin on Dr. Phil today. You should listen to her Nadya! That woman is on it!! She might be scary controlling but I have a sick obsession deep love with her not so little family!

I dropped my Ipod while booking it on the treadmill today. Then bent down to pick it up. I almost died. I kid you not.

After the gym I came home and ate about a pound of low country boil. What is my problem?!?!

I started taking some of my pre-pregnancy drugs today. My stomach already hurts again but my headaches have ceased. Oh my poor body. I apologize in advance for what I'm fixing to do to you!

I love Simon Cowell. He might be the meanest person on the planet but I love him!! The hubs and I are arguing about what he's been saying tonite. Don't argue with me on American Idol hubs!! I know my Simon!!!

Sorry for the randomness. I hit my head on the treadmill today and then almost fell asleep while doing crunches. I think I should go to bed now. G'nite!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Whew! What a weekend. We started it off on not such a great note when we had to put our family dog, Indy, to sleep. Never easy and we were all pretty upset most of the day Saturday, but it gets better. His buddy Abby is back in the North with my parents and is kind of having a hard time. You see it a lot actually. When two dogs spend that much time together, if one passes, the one left behind has to deal with the loss. They will literally make themselves sick with grief. So Mom and Dad are showering her with extra attention right now. She'll love that! She's such a good dog!

Saturday afternoon we went to grab a quick bite to eat with the fam at the Dawghouse Grill. Excellente! Even though I didn't get my normal extra long cheese coney and opted for a salad, it was still so good. We had an oyster roast over at the grandparents that nite. My little brother was in town this weekend to come to the baptism. However, he spent most of the time with a former best friend of mine so I barely got to see him. It doesn't bother me that he did this; what bothers me is when I asked him about it, he flat lied to my face. Not cool. But I digress.. So we had an oyster roast. I of course ate my weight in oysters (pure protein people!). It was such a gorgeous nite out!

Oyster roasts are probably one of my fave things to do where I live. So relaxed and chill just sitting 'round the bonfire. The food and drink rocks too. And I go where the food goes!

Sunday Mr. Perfect and I got baptised!! It was awesome. Both sets of our parents came as well as my little brother and my grandparents. The sermon was awesome as well that day so our whole family approves of our new church! Yay! I can't believe we're church members!! This is a first for our little family! I was a nervous wreck. Not gonna lie. I was shaking so hard I thought for sure you'd be able to hear my teeth all the way at the back of the church. I'm still not sure how I didn't pass out. I HATE being in front of that big a crowd. I still am not sure how I even managed to form words. I'm pretty sure they weren't understandable. Oh well. God got it =). We went to dinner afterwords. Always interesting. Like I said in my Not Me Monday post, Mr. Perfects mom, Mrs. M, totally ratted me out in front of everyone for something I've managed to keep a secret for 6 years!! Thanks Mrs. M!!! She sure keeps things interesting!! We had a great lunch. It's so rare that we actually get our whole family together and nobody gets hurt!! Kidding. Kind of. Mr. Perfect's family left right after lunch to make the 3 6 hour drive home. I was so glad they made it down. We thought they weren't going to be able to come and I know Mr. Perfect would have been so disappointed. It meant so much to both of us to have our whole family there!
We spent the rest of the day Sunday in our favorite way: on the couch together, watching TV and reading blogs. It was a great weekend. And I think I love my husband a little bit more now that we are truly united in Christ. It can only get better!!
