Now that 90+ degree weather has set in, I'm starting to actually feel like a beach resident. Perhaps because it feels much cooler when you're laying on that beach and feeling that ocean breeze..jealous yet?? just kidding :)
After a great week at work it finally came to an end. This was the first week I was let loose on my own. I think I did a pretty good job. A little difficult at first finding my comfort zone but now I love the job and believe it or not I'm actually getting used to the commute home in the evenings! Friday night Lee's mom drove from NC to see us! She got in around 10:00..we were all exhausted and i was ready for bed but what did we do? We headed out on the town for the ultimate crab nachos and beer at Tautog's!! Seriously best nacho's ever..and I'm hard to impress with nachos! We all so had some yummy she-crab soup and bread..YUMMO! (can you tell that we've really enjoyd our culinary happenings around this town??) After a late night binge we headed home only to find this:
Lee opened the door to find that something was blocking it and the tall lamp that sits next to the couch was laying in front of the door. To our left was a huge pile of shattered glass. Yes folks our cats had some kind of frenzy in our living room and knocked over our lamp and shattered it to pieces. I for one was ecstatic because I've been begging Lee to let us get new lamps..I just wish I had a picture! The cats looked incredibly guilty and ashamed..it was really cute! We're just glad the house didn't catch on fire and trap our precious furbabies inside!!
The next morning we woke up early because we were determined to spend a gorgeous day at the beach! We decided to go have brunch at Citrus! BEST EGGS BENEDICT EVER! AND they serve their freshly squeezed orange juice in a champagne flute..no not mimosas really, just orange juice! (sometimes I wonder if I'm writing for the wrong blog..maybe I should be a food critic) Anyway we headed over to First Landing and the beach was AWESOME! We got plenty of sunshine and played in the water..it was 93 degrees!
Julie, Lee, and I just sat in our cozy chairs for the entire day! We realized that we really need to invest in an umbrella...I think we were pretty much sunburned after 10 mins! Add that one to the list! Julie had to leave late afternoon but Lee really wanted to take her to Chicks
(our fav place)
and we had some yummy calimari, shrimp and fish tacos! THEN we went back to our place and grabbed our car and went BACK to the beach to meet Seth and Julie and little Leira! hung out with them and talked the day away until sunset! I was so happy to finally meet Julie and Cakey (Leira) who's official full name is...ahem: Leira Cake Jewel Drool Drama Queen Parsons...(i think i got that right!)
She just turned 6 months old and is a cutie! I'm so happy that Seth lives down here..we look forward to hanging out with them as much as we can! I'm sure I'll see Seth around work since he is in Med School at EVMS..I even saw him chatting it up with a bunch of white coats in the CAFE the other day! After a long hot day we headed home to cool off with a movie and a popsicle! :)
We woke up this morning with the intentions of going to church but I couldn't move! My sunburn..I guess I'll never learn my lesson..even though I've been tanning for about a month now for our Cancun trip..oh well! I finally managed to get up and made some yummy pancakes for breakfast. Those are a treat because I hate making them! Later we decided that since it was so beautiful we felt like we had to grill out! We headed over to home depot to purchase a grill! WOOOOHOOO! I also managed to squeeze in a new pair of scrubs and some groceries...and lunch at Cafe Fresh..LOVE it!
I was so happy to get home in the AC! I'm so not ready for miserable summer temps..I was looking forward to at least one or two 80 degree days first..not 68 and then skipping all the way to 96! I cleaned up a little and cooled off and Lee put the grill together! We made some Sesame ginger chicken, corn on the cob, and canteloupe! it was magnificent...and now we are finishing off our fabulous summer weekend with some lime jello and the red sox/yankee game...GO SOX! Hope everyone had a great weekend...thanks for tuning in to my weekly foodie..haha..see ya next week!
