Five Things Friday

Pin It PIN IT!

I’m hopping on another blogger bandwagon with a Five Things Friday post! The food post I had scheduled for today was a no-go. The photos just weren’t good enough for ya’ll! But, if you are a fan of mine for just the food, don’t fret! I have 4 incredible recipes to share next week! I’m having fun sharing more details about my life and I hope ya’ll will stick around to read them and get to like me as much as you like my recipes!

My good friends Stephanie & Layla post their “five things” every Friday and I’m always like “I am going to do that next week!”  I’m finally doing it!  From my understanding, you post 5 interesting things about yourself, your life, etc. Or at least that’s how I interpreted it. And it’s my blog, so I’ll do what I want! (Said in my South Park Carmen voice).

1. My favorite exhibits at the zoo are the elephant (which I pronounce elle-fant-tay) cage & the aquarium of big fishes. For some reason, I’m completely fascinated with elephants. The last zoo trip we went to, I started crying when I saw the Asian elephants because they are very endangered. Elephants rock, guys, so stop bothering them (I am directing this at the bad guys obviously)! Or I’ll have to come and beat you up. Seriously, I will. Don’t f with the ellefantays. Oh, and the fishes are just so fascinating, especially when they stare at you.

Creepy fishes.

2. I’m a necklace JUNKIE. I’m especially partial to big, chunky statement pieces. (You can read all about my statement jewelery addiction here). The bigger, the chunkier, the more colorful a necklace is, the more likely I’ll be to rock it. Statement jewelry turns a hum-drum outfit into something amazing. When in doubt, deck it out. (I should trademark that saying, shouldn’t i?) My new favorite aquisition is this coral & gold number from The Limited. Sorry for the fuzzy, icky iPhone photograph. Oh and also pelase ignore that double chin situation happening there.

3. I WILL raise my chidren (hypothetical now, of course) in Charleston. I don’t care if that means I have to work as a grocer at Publix to make it happen. I’m in love with that city and it’s my destiny to move there. Who am I to mess with destiny? Oh, and I already found my dream home on Realtor.com.

Just a simple home for 2 with a beatiful granite kitchen and backyard (with pool) overlooking the marsh. All for just a little shy of 4  million. Talk about a steal!

4. I’m obsessed with my dog. I guess ya’ll already knew that, though?

5. I’m so excited to announce that I’m a new writer for  She Knows in their Food & Recipes section!! My first article will be popping up on the website soon! I’ll give you a hint, it has to do with the DELICIOUS little somethin’ somethin’ below.

Have an incredible weekends, folks!

    I have an elephant obsession too and I LOVE the zoo. Kyle is pretty excited that we live no where near a zoo anymore so I can't force us to go on the weekends.

    4mil? It's a STEAL. Although I suppose if you insisted, I could move in too ;)
    Those pics of the fish (pronounced feeeeesh in my book) are awesome. I'm partial to the puffins at the zoo, myself!

    Ellefantays!! Love it! And I am totally with you on the necklaces... it has to be a statement piece! It is problematic because they take up so much more space though.

    And that looks like such a quaint little home! LOL
