Ummmmm......No

Bad idea.

I went thru the men in my life, past and present, gay and straight, and I can't think of one that would rock the manty-hose look.

South Carolina

Things that are awesome about South Carolina:

• The Piggly Wiggly ~ first off, how can you not love a place named the Piggly Wiggly?!  Last night I stopped in to get some wine and dinner ingredients.  Not only was it lovely inside, the wine selection was great, there was a Starbucks (hard to find here) and they sell flippin Piggly Wiggly t-shirts.  I was so overjoyed at the t-shirts, I could not make a decision...today I will return and buy one.
• The Low Country ~ I love saying 'low country' and there is something very beautiful about this place....it makes me speak lower, slower and with a tendency to pick up that southern lilt.
• Nice people ~ when you live in a place with Piggly Wigglys and are surrounded by Spanish Moss.....why wouldn't you be a nice person?

Breathe

Today I noticed that when I am anxious, or hearing something that is about to make me lose it.....I hold my breath.

Apparently, this is my attempt to stop all time.

If I stop breathing, this person will really not continue to say stupid things....and stupid things will not actually happen.

I held my breath last night during the debate and when Leann won Project Runway.

As I thought about this even more tonight on my painful 4 1/2 hour drive thru the back woods of South Carolina, I realized that in most of the bad choices of my life, I was not breathing.

I am thinking oxygen exchange is key to making it thru.

Spiders!

On the way out the door yesterday, I grabbed my Martha Stewart magazine ~ I usually only ever buy the Halloween issue ~ because I love how Martha classes up Halloween.

I saw this wreath and decided to make it!

Super easy ~ now I am ready to scare off potential visitors!

One Year Ago....

This is the sorta, kinda anniversary of my trip to Italy last October.
I am not so sure how to link back to old posts....but we will see if this works.
Click Here for the Italian retrospective - which I know I never finished. I know, I slacked.

Sadly, Poor Mario passed away some weeks back...and I could not help but re-post this video of him and the ricotta crostata.
A me me piace.....

Look what I made!

If you have spare time on your hands......look at the cool things you can make!

I am reconnecting with my inner knitter.
