Chuck’s “man” breakfast: high protein banana chocolate soufflé (2 eggs, 1 banana, scoop of chocolate protein powder) topped with sliced strawberries and chocolate syrup. Ridiculous.

Did you know…

…that Spanish moss is neither Spanish, nor moss? Here in Savannah I was able to meet up with a friend from college, who happens to be a Marine Scientist (and thus knows all about Nature in general.)

Turns out, it’s actually from the same plant family as pineapple (weird), and it’s “Spanish” because it served as a sign to the English that they were entering Spanish territory back in the old days. Cool, huh?

Busy, Busy!

I’ve had so much I’ve wanted to write about this week too. My thoughts on the presidential debates… my end at the Chamber, and the frenzy of returning full force to the pharmacy… Our anniversary trip to SAVANNAH this weekend…!

Guess I will just have to catch up on things some time next week! Sleepy time now. Hitting the road in the morning 🙂

Instagram

I discovered that if I add hash tags to my photos (legitimate ones that people would actually search for), my pictures get a LOT more exposure. It’s kind of exciting! Especially since Instagram is a good bit more anonymous than Facebook. It’s also a little sketchy, though. I tagged one photo with “girl friends” and another with “feet” and “pedicure”, and as it turns out – Instagram has weirdos. They need to update the app so we are able to delete comments… or is that already possible and I’m just missing it?

Anyway… I use hash tags all the time here on Tumblr, but it doesn’t seem to work for me quite like it did for Instagram. Maybe it’s better that way 🙂 Sometimes it’s better to lay low, but it’s also nice to have a random audience that enjoys what you have to share. So long as they’re nice! And totally not sketchy… ha!

Lovely Virginia

           

This past weekend, Chuck and I went to Charlottesville – home of Monticello and the University of Virginia – to join some friends and family for Top of the Hops Beer Festival. Although the festival was a great time, I am not particularly a fan of beer, so we made it a point to go apple picking as well.

      

It turned out to be the most beautiful weekend, and we got to roam apple orchards and farmer’s markets in warm golden sunshine. We were able to picnic alongside old Virginian architecture and browse the orchard’s country shop. It’s fun to go back to my “home state” and get a taste of mountains and hills in comparison to the endless flat land of Coastal Carolina!

       

As I type, I’m actually enjoying one of the crisp, juicy apples that I hand-picked myself. We got so many – I’ll have to make a cinnamon apple crisp this weekend! Yummm. 🙂

       

Every morning when I open my eyes, there’s Annie sharing my pillow with me. I mostly get the back of her head or even her butt, but this morning we were practically face to face. This was moments before I pulled her under the covers with me! Such a warm and cozy lil’ fluff ball ❤
