Welcome!

Well...After stalking numerous blogs for a long time (ie I have a pretty boring desk job!) I have finally given in. I am not sure if my life is going to be the least bit interesting to anyone...but it will still be fun for me! I decided to start my first post with the generic "List 25 things about yourself" so that ya'll can get to know a little bit about me! :)

1. I am a 20 something year old living in fabulous Charleston, SC! Charleston is the most amazing city to live in...I love the weather, food, people, events...I could go on and on!

2. I am a graduate of Clemson University! Go Tigers! Hopefully we can bounce back from our disappointing loss to Florida State on Saturday and win our game tonight! (Even though I will be enjoying a yummy dinner at a new restaurant in town called Bambu instead of watching the game! Yay!)

3. Like most fellow bloggers that I have been stalking - I am also obsessed with some Lilly! I am also obsessed with the fact that my dad gave me a gift certificate to the local Lilly store for my birthday last Friday so I can stock up on some of the new Spring goodies. And I just don't think my Lilly looks right without a pair of Jack Rogers.

4. I could live off of pizza...literally. Pepperoni and Feta is my favorite. Sooooo good!!

5. I love being on the water! Boating is one of my favorite warm weather activities! Hopefully this spring-like weather is here to stay...it has been in the mid-70s since last Friday here in Charleston!

6. My boyfriend works on ships...which means he is gone for 4 months at a time!! One might ask how I deal with this? Lots of girl time over margaritas! :)

7. I have 4 sisters. Well...I have an older half sister, an older real sister, a younger real sister, and a younger step sister.

8. Me and my older real sister are the only ones that look anything alike. People are constantly asking if we are twins. We are only 18 months apart and are super close!

9. I hate seafood. Ewww. I know this is really, really odd considering where I live...but the thought of something swimming around in the ocean and then putting it in my mouth has always grossed me out!

10. I looove going to the grocery store! I also get really excited cutting coupons out of the Sunday paper, as well as when the weekly ads come out in the Wednesday paper. I love me some bargain shopping!

11. I love margaritas. I mean who doesn't? My favorite place to get a good margarita in Charleston is either Taco Boy on Folly Beach or Watersedge in Mt. Pleasant. Yum-E!

12. I really enjoy cookbooks! I am such a picky eater that I hardly like any of the recipes, but I still think it is so fun.

13. I could sit in Barnes and Noble for hours looking at cookbooks!

14. I am on the 3rd book in the Twilight series right now...so yes I am one of those people. I thought the first one was really good...but I have kind of been losing interest as of lately.

15. I love to travel! This past year I went on trips to Las Vegas, Nashville, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and BERMUDA! Good times! :)

16. Speaking of traveling...I love going to the mountains - Blowing Rock, NC in particular! We are going with 2 other couples next weekend to go skiing! I can't wait...and ya'll will get to hear allll about it! :)

17. I eat strawberries pretty much every morning for breakfast. And lucky for me they have been on sale at Publix (our grocery store) for a good month and a half now. I didn't think it was strawberry season until the warmer weather arrived...

18. I voted for John McCain...just thought I would put that out there.

19. My favorite restaurant in Charleston is called The Red Drum. If you ever visit it is a must try. Their wood grilled chicken is to DIE for...trust me!

20. My major in college was marketing...and I work at an accounting firm. Hopefully once this economy picks up I can try and find a job that I am more passionate about. Until then I will work as hard as I can here.

21. I did gymnastics for 10 years when I was younger. I get sooo excited if it is ever on TV...which is very rare. Soooo...when I found out on Sunday night that Shawn Johnson is going to be on Dancing with the Stars you can't even imagine my excitement!!!!!

22. Besides margaritas...my beverages of choice are a glass of pinot grigio, a cold michelob ultra, or some ice water. Oh and how could I forget the mimosa.

23. I am anal about my weekly manicure...dark red has become my obsession as of lately.

24. I frequently sit at my desk and eat an entire bag of orginal golfish...eeek...boredom maybe?

25. I am also obsessed with reading all of your blogs. I have never commented...but I guess in order to get you to read about me I better start!

I haven't really figured this whole blogging think out yet...hopefully it won't take me too long! I hope that ya'll are having a wonderful Tuesday!
