Sex And The City: Girl's Night Out

Jess and I took the BumbleBee out for GNO. I had to bring flip-flops with me to drive and then stash them in my purse while I slipped on my heels to go out! But it was so much fun to drive around all dressed up in my redneck, jacked-up Jeep! I wish we'd taken a picture of that! We waited until Jessica could come into town before we actually went to see the movie. It's all about your girlfriends, so it didn't make much sense to me to see the movie without my BFF there :)

At The Movies: Amy, Erin, Jessica, and Angelique

There were too many people hanging out around the theater when the movie started to take a picture as cheesy as this, but when we got out of the movie at 1:15 AM, there was another group of girls walking out behind us, and I simply walked up to them and said, "I know it's silly, but would you mind taking our picture in front of the poster?" The response? "Only if you take ours, too!!" So we did :)

Dinner at Vickery's on Shem Creek: Erin, Jessica, Angelique, and Amy

So the baby had one, tiny Cosmo . . . I think it'll be OK :) Besides, if it turns out to be a girl, she'll be so grateful to have participated in SATC GNO!!

We all felt a little silly when we showed up all dressed up (people in Charleston don't really dress up to go out) and ordered Cosmos. I said something to the waitress about it and the SATC phenomenom, and she laughed and said, "You guys are definitely not the first and you won't be the last!" We went to the bar across the street from the theater afterwards to discuss and have a nightcap (I had water), and several people just looked at us and asked: "Sex in the city?" Yes, yes, we're typical girls and we really, really liked the show . . . what can we say?

The Kitchen Sink

TAKE 2. -advice to bloggers, don't click on a photo in the preview window and then back. All updates are lost.

The Kitchen Sink has been moved from west to east side of the kitchen. I had previously T'ed in the hot cold and drain pipe and have now made the move along with the gracious help of Matt all day last Sunday and even part of Monday. We now have a temporary sink set up until I can get the other side of the kitchen cabinets knocked out and then the real countertops will get put in all at once.

The garbage disposal works and the "brand new" 2 year old dishwasher is now installed and functional and has run through it's first cycle. It's wicked quiet!

Nap Time on the Boat

Max: "I am looking GOOD! Snazzy outfit, hot chick, wicked fast bike . . . I LOVE the South! Now, who's got the garage door opener?"

Max: "Isn't my Uncle Mark the best!! I think he's totally groovy. But seriously, what's up with that beard?"

Mom and Dad visit

Cindy and Charlie made their annual Florida booked visit. It was great to see them and spend some time together. This is us out on the Wando River after boating around Charleston Pennunsula up the Ashley through Wapoo Cut and over by Maybank on the Stono River and back to Remley's Point.

The Bumblebee

Erin has always wanted a CJ7 Jeep and at the beginning of April, we came across a great deal on an 83 CJ7 Laredo that was in pretty decent shape and came with several extras like 2 sets of doors and soft and hard tops. At first we weren't too wild about the yellow but it has grown on us and we're not in a rush to paint it anymore.

It has needed a few things that I have been busy working on. I took the hard top off, it has new drums, shoes, slave cylinders, brake auto adjusters, welded a seat braket, replaced plastic valve cover and gasket with an aluminum cover, new side mirrors, new wiper blades, reconnected cut brake light wires, fixed 4 hot leads that were shorting out the system, you get the idea, it hasn't even been here a month yet!

It's been a lot of fun and a good learning experience. There will always be more to do on this thing. So far, the more I work on this thing the more I like this silly thing. Oh boy, I needed another hobby and project! Here are a few pix.
