Eh….
This week has been pretty much hellacious. If it could go wrong it did. I’ve had stuff blowing up for 2 days now. So all I can say is long weekend please hurry! I need you ASAP.
Matt and I don’t have any plans for this weekend. Though I think I am going to try to talk him into painting our bedroom. We’ll have to borrow a ladder from some friends so we can reach the ceiling. Basically I think our room will be a complete pain in the ass to paint but I know it will look so much better when it’s done. Plus paint = new carpet. You know I’ve only been saying new carpet for like 6 months now. But I am sooo ready to make this happen. New CARPET!!!!! Wooo hoooo!

A rose by any other name
Would still be a rose. 😉 And currently there is a new knock-out rose bush sitting on my deck. I decided to buy one over the weekend. I talked to my mom and she assured me they are very hardy and love lots of sun. Since our deck gets full sun most of the day I thought it would be a great for it to live. Plus this way I will see it and I might actually remember to water it. 🙂
And pretty picture time. 🙂
P.S. I promise I am working on the NYC stuff. Just Sunday and night pics left.

Bad Words
Not in the traditional sense of *%*$% bad words but in the South there are words you learn not to say as a kid. I’m talking about soda, pop, you guys and a host of other “Northern” words. I remember using the word Coke for anything soda related. And you NEVER said hey you guys! If it wasn’t ya’ll you were not Southern.
As I’ve grown, and moved really, I find myself constantly saying the words soda and you guys. I never say Coke unless I actually mean Coke. I rarely say ya’ll either and I never blog it. I think it’s funny that over the course of years things change, even your speech. As a kid I wouldn’t have dreamed I would use these words. Those were “Northern” words and I was a good Southern Belle. 🙂
So while some Southern has started to come out more, like my love for growing things (it is not gardening ;). The Northern has come out more in my speech. I guess as I’ve gotten older I no longer associate those words with being only a Northern thing. But I also try hard to keep my Southern accent at bay. There are certain words I don’t ever think will lose that Southern draw, like fire but since the age of 12 or so I have been very conscious of how I speak. God forbid I sound like a hick. 😉 Of course that is my own personal choice. But I do find there to be a difference between having a Southern draw and sounding like a hick.
Enough of my ramblings. I promise to start blogging our trip soon. Like maybe tonight.

One year
One year ago Matt and I were in St Lucia and at this very minute we had been married not even an hour. Today we are NYC taking a quick nap before we get ready to head to Scarpetta for dinner.
We decided our trip was our gift but we did get cards. I mean the 1st anniversary is paper. 😉
~To the man I was lucky enough to marry one year ago today, I love you more then you will ever know. I couldn’t dream of finding a better person to spend my life with. You take care of me, you laugh with and at me 😉 but mostly you are you and that’s what I love the most. Here’s to the next fifty! <3 ~k

This is what happens
When 2 people who love cars marry……
So Matt is a car lover and has always had nice cars, as in 3 Audis. I too am a car lover, or more like a car leaver. There was a time in my life when I averaged a new (and by new I mean used) car every 18 months or so. Well the plan had been that I would get the Q5 next year when the Jetta lease was up and then Matt would get a new (or used) car.
As it happened a friend of ours works at the Audi dealership and last week he brought home a BMW 135i that had recently been traded. You see Matt has been lusting after this car for a few months now so when J offered to bring it home and let us drive it we said HELL YES! This my friends, was the beginning of the end. Matt drove first and I was like yeah it’s nice, very small. Then I drove. O. M. G! From there I was in love! The car was amazing and amazingly fast.
J talked to Matt and they tried to work out a deal but the numbers just didn’t add up so Matt started looking. He found 2 cars that would do, one in Wilmington and one in Atlanta. After a few days of negotiating Matt finally got the deal we were looking for on the Wilmington car. As it happened, his parents were in town last night so they were able to drive him down today to pick up the new car.
So now we have this…..
Yes I know it is completely impractical but what the hell! You only live once! 😀
~Tomorrow Matt and I will head to NYC to celebrate ONE whole year of marriage! WOOO HOOO! We did it!

Be the Change…
Well NC took that to a whole new level yesterday. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably heard about the Amendment that passed yesterday. {If you would like to know more click here.} Well I did my civic duty and went to the poll after work to vote. This is just a primary election but I felt the passage of this Amendment was worthy of my “against” vote.
I won’t go into a lot of explanation, you can read for yourself, but it makes me very sad that as a society we continue to vote for inequality. What’s worse is only 35% of the registered voters in NC went to the polls yesterday.
I think the worst part is people are so narrow sighted they can’t see that this amendment doesn’t just ban gay marriage, something that is currently banned in NC anyway, it takes away rights of ALL non married partnerships gay or straight. Not to mention the harm it could do to those in domestic abuse situations. This is structured similar to the Ohio amendment which allowed some of those convicted of domestic violence to be released. It makes me very sad that, in 2012, we can’t just move past the gay issue. And that people would be so bothered by this that they would do more harm then good.

PS I have a surprise for tomorrow. 😉

Apparently this is too much!
Matt cleaned out my car this weekend and decided I had too much random shit in my car. In my defense, it’s MY car! I can have whatever I want in there. He thought it would be funny to lay everything on the freezer so I could see it. 🙂 Let’s make a list of random said items in my car (you’re welcome Sarah).
3 Pairs of sunglasses – though one is Matt’s (and there was another pair he actually left in the car so that’s 4)
1 koozi
2 sunglass cases
a pair of gloves
2 Auburn coasters that should live in the cup holders
a note pad
random papers
couple of pens
a car charger for my droid (that I no longer use)
a rite aid card
a bag with a mirror and old perfume
an Auburn sticker and a frankie’s fun pass card (used to scrap off ice)
and last but not least, a toothbrush 😉
I personally don’t think I have too much stuff in my car. Granted the Jetta doesn’t have much storage space but still it’s my car. hehe
Happy Monday!

Oh carpal tunnel
You are so not my friend. I’m not sure what has happened over the past few days but OMG my wrist hurts. I went to Target on Monday and bought a brace but it’s pretty cheap and I’m not sure it really does much. I can’t seem to get it quite as tight as I feel I need it.
I hadn’t been doing anything different really so I’m not sure why exactly it’s just started hurting. I always do a ton of typing at work so it’s not like that is different.
And speaking of wrists, I might have a little something planned for my wrist while we are in NYC next week. 😉 HOLY COW, we will be in NYC NEXT week! In 11 days Matt and I will be have been married ONE WHOLE YEAR! AHHHHHH! 😀 I might be a tad bit excited.
