Restaurant Week

Friday night Mark and I decided to take advantage of Charleston Restaurant Week. This was the first visit for both of us to 82 Queen.

We sat outside in their courtyard area which is absolutely adorable. It was the perfect weather for outdoor dining. Finally some slightly cooler temps! I had their famous She Crab Soup, Chicken and Waffles, and Key Lime Pie. Mark had Calamari, Jambalaya, and a Pecan Mocha Torte. Every single thing we ordered was  delicious! We'll definitely be making more trips here.

So, I attempted to capture my outfit for the evening. But Cooper insisted on being part of the photo shoot, as well.

I wore my new J Brand skinnies and Francesca's top with a Banana clutch that I've had for years. The outfit worked out perfectly, as there was no hint of my bulging belly after eating that HUGE meal.

Devil dog.

Then yesterday, we traveled to Charlotte for a wedding.

Me, the Groom, and Jill

After getting stuck in traffic on the way there and on the way back, we are exhausted. The weekends always go by so quickly. I'll be on the couch for the rest of the afternoon/evening. Tonight is the season finale of True Blood and the series finale of Entourage. Eeeeek!

Eric Northman Is BACK!

Go ahead and ignore this post if you aren't a True Blood fan.

Last night' episode was a-maz-ing! Actually I think this might be my favorite season yet! There are only 2 episodes left and I have no idea how it's going to end. I can only hope that witch Marnie gets whats coming to her- she is evil!

Anyways, last night Sookie harnessed her powers and broke the spell, bringing back 'the old' Eric. Now Sookie's left to choose between Bill and Eric. Decisions, decisions....

On a side note, how did Kate Bosworth ever let Alexander Skarsgard go? Ma-jor, major mistake.

Is anyone watching Entourage? It used to be so fun and fast paced, but this season seems so...depressing. With Ari's divorce, Vince's drug habit, the demise of Eric & Sloane, it's all very blah. Also, what happened to all the great celeb cameos?

The highlight from last night- finding out that Mrs. Ari's (Perry Reeves) name is actually Melissa. Pretty fitting, I think.

T.G.I.S.?!

I have to be honest. I usually find Sundays to be a little depressing. The thought of a long work week ahead is looming the entire day. Luckily, I now have 2 reasons to look forward to the end of the weekend: True Blood and Entourage.

Last night we finally got to see Eric and Sookie together! This union has been brewing since season 1. As exciting as it is, we all know that this could seal Eric's fate with the new vampire king, Bill. That witch Marnie really did a number on him. I can hardly wait for next Sunday's episode!

Also, last night was the premiere of the final season of Entourage. Vince is fresh out of rehab and ready to start on new projects. We found out E and Sloane called off their engagement (sad) and that Mrs. Ari has been seeing someone else during their separation (sadder). Turtle, played by Jerry Ferrara, has noticeably slimmed down in the off-season. And Drama is still Drama. I've been hearing/reading about a possible movie a la Sex & The City, which would be something to look forward to once this season wraps. 

My sister and I have been enjoying the city during her visit- walking along the battery, margs at my fave, and enjoying delicious meals all around town.

At Poogan's Porch, where I ate my weight in biscuits.

Rainy Day

Yesterday was my day off for the week. I was hoping to spend some time outside basking in the sun. Apparently, the weather gods had other plans. As the below iphone pics will show, there was no outdoor activity. Unless you count circling the block on King St. with my car window down.

I was trying to fnd a parking spot anywhere near my favorite DT bakery:

Then I came home to do some laundry with my fancy new washer.

And while I waited, I watched some re-runs of this

*If you haven't watched this, you're missing out! I was skeptical at first, now am absolutely obsessed.

Then I kicked my feet up and patiently waited for Mark to get home from work.

Mark so kindly repaired my TB sandals that someone decided to use as a chew toy last summer. Very happy to have them back!
