my weekend at edisto
consisted of:
going to the beach until the tide pushed us in for lunch.
nap time.
drivin out to the boat landing with BoDaddy to watch the tourists attempt (key word: attempt) to put their boats on their trailers for our afternoon entertainment.
sunset walk on the beach.
fallin asleep to the sound of everyone snoring but me and daddy (who was smart enough to bring ear plugs).
fishing and more importantly, a BIG fish. (32 inch spottail)
father's day/birthday lunch.
5 dogs, 3 boats, and one sunburn.
it was fabulous.
Quoteable quotes from our crazy family
"He's 86?!"
"Yeaha...don't you know if you live down here in the salt air, you live forever?"
"Really....I'd of thought you'd rust."
"Nah...that don't kill you. that just keeps the mosquitos away."
"I think that fishin pole bruised my organs"
"NO MULLET!"
(anyone who was in hearing distance may have thought that we were repeatedly upset about a particularly bad 80s hairstyle.... but really we were just yelling at one of the dogs haha)
and proof that my family revolves around food:
Me: "Don't you know this family at all? If you want to convince her to do it a yellow color, don't use the word yellow. Use something to do with food. You know, call it like ...creamed corn....or butter grits...something like that."
15 min later...
Daddy:"Well how bout a creamed corn color?"
Mama: "Mmmm....I like that...creamed corn."
Nana: "Speakin of corn, what do you want for dinner?"
Mama: "He looks kind of...ill."
BoDaddy: "We'll he's been sellin tomatos outta da back of that truck for 20 years! You'd look ill too."
Nana: "Speakin of tomatos, how bout we have some blt's for lunch?"

do NOT wear jeans!
last weekend i went fishing with dad, uncle johnny, and bodaddy (my grandpa)
and i am proud to say i, the only girl, caught the first two fish of the day (a 3 1/2 foot shark and then a spottail for those of you who care). :)
this superhot picture of me in my dad's aviators, uncle's sweatshirt (i'm telling you all this cancer/lupus stuff makes my body temperature weird) makes me laugh b/c my dad is trying showing off his usc shirt in every way possible.
but it was a very fun morning.
compare last weekend, to this weekend:
i am going to have high tea today with my grandmother, sister, and mom at charleston place downtown. random.
after consulting my ettiquette guide (leigh) on what the "rules" were for tea and if i was going to have to do something strange like stir a certain way or lift up my pinkies when i drink, the first words out of her mouth were:
"don't wear jeans aly"
best friends know you all too well sometimes.
not that i don't love skirts and dresses (i do love them, a LOT, actually) ...but i get cold (haha...at least thats my excuse). so i'm sucking it up and wearing something non-jeans and i'll let ya'll know how it goes. :)
having to put off a real job isn't all that bad when i am blessed and get to do fun things like this with my family.
