Kitchen Silliness

Last night while Kalli and I were waiting on dinner, we made this awesome installation on the kitchen bar. We used paper towels, loquat seeds, a dog treat, green post-its, potato chips, dark chocolate hershey’s kisses, and the ant that was on top of my wedding cake (in lieu of the glass ant that got thrown away). It’s a pretty […]

Found Object #6 – Chinese Barf Bag

During my first year at Duke, one of my dear friends (David) took a trip to China with a Duke vocal group. He brought me back these souvenirs: Barf bag from Air China, my own personal little red book, and some Chinese currency. He also crocheted me my favorite hat ever on the airplane trip over there.

LOL Cats

I caught Texas & Trixie posing some this weekend. But I can’t think of any captions….Well I can, but they all start and end with “OH. HAI.” Anyone have any ideas?

Rob’s Grilled Chicken

Last night, Rob cooked our meal all by himself. We had grilled chicken (with Richard’s spicy sauce), corn on the cob, salad, and a really good bread with some dipping sauce. We also used our wedding china. Everything was sooo good and tasty!

Silent Cities at Brookgreen Gardens

On Sunday (February 10), Mama and me made it down to Brookgreen gardens to see the much anticipated Silent Cities Tour. The tour is described as: Walk through former slaves and plantation owners’ graveyards and hear about the historical burial customs of European and African origin. It was actually a very cool little trip, and a beautiful day!

As some of you may know, I’m a pack rat. I’ve saved stuff for decades, and now I’m going through everything to try to get rid of it. I’ve started this section of Champagne Thursday to help me throw away some of this old trash that I’ve been saving. Today’s found object is an article from Rolling Stone Magazine about […]
