I want a BIG vase!
A couple of weeks ago I posted about the canvas I got for one of our wedding pics. Ever since then I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with the fireplace mantel. I found an awesome E at Stein Mart a while back and I know I want to keep that up there as well. But what else can I add? I have no idea. I thought about a vase. I know sort of what I’m looking for but I can’t seem to find one that matches or one that I like. I actually bought something a few weeks ago but I decided it just wasn’t what I wanted. So now I’m looking for more ideas. Gotta love google. 🙂 I have decided I think I am going to scratch the vase idea and look for something else. Why you ask? Because I think I want to get a large vase to stand beside the fireplace. I’m kind of super excited about this idea really.
I think something similar to the green vase in the bottom left corner is what I’m looking for {or that EXACT one}. I’m not sure yet. I’m pretty sure Matt isn’t going to be keen on this idea, are you hun? But I really think it would look pretty amazing sitting beside the fireplace. hmmmm.

I got nothing…
I’m still on the hunt for some awesome wedges. I’m still super sad my old flip flops had to go to the great flip flop heaven in the sky. Today at lunch I ran to Stein Mart in hopes of finding a suitable replacement. I managed to find 2 cool pairs of shoes unfortunately neither pair were in my size. 🙁 I did manage to find a really cute summer dress on sale for $17.00 but I just tried it on and I think it might actually be a little too big. I can’t decide if washing and drying it would help of if I need to take it back. I will get Matt’s opinion later. I mean really it’s only like [___] too big. Maybe he will think it looks fine.
In other news I have a huge fever blister. Seriously these things suck. I’m not sure what it is but it seems like the sun brings them out. I am going to have to start being more careful outside I guess.

Weekend recap – I touch your food
A long weekend was much needed after the chaos of last week. It was nice to wake up Friday morning and go lay on the beach all day. It was super hot outside and I was glad we decided to buy another umbrella at Costco last weekend. I managed to take a few pics with my new lens. I also decided to play wiht the manual settings on my camera. Much to my surprise I think I did pretty well. It was nice to have a sunny day and be able to just sit and play with the different settings. And just for reference I took a couple in auto to see how they compared. I will post some pics for Foto Friday.
Saturday was a repeat of Friday and after a day of roasting on the beach we decided to go to the Boundary House in Calabash. The food was really good but I was beyond shocked when our waitress decided to grab the grilled shrimp off our friend’s plate. His order was all kinds of wrong. He ordered fried shrimp, crab cakes and fish. The shrimp was grilled and well there were no crab cakes at all. He didn’t mind the oysters that he received instead of crab cakes but he and his wife were both looking forward to the fried shrimp. The waitress’s idea was to just take the grilled shrimp so she grabbed the shrimp off his plate, with her hands. UGHH! Then she brings them back because “they were just going to throw them away.” *shakes head* Finally she brings a measly 4 fried shrimp. After the ordeal we were all kind of stunned. I finally was like “who does that? Who grabs your food off your plate and then brings it back?” Apparently she heard me because a minute later she stops by to make sure it was okay. I’m still just like WTF?!?! Aside from that we had a good dinner.
I would say the overall trip was really nice and relaxing. I am really glad our friends were able to join us.
