CROC Count

You know I love my CROCs. Before we went on vacation, I bought a couple new pairs of flip-flops. While in Hilton Head, we found a CROC outlet and I ended up buying a pair of golf shoes. I played in them yesterday. But I am still not sure how I feel about them. Traditional golf shoes give me an excuse to bust out the saddle shoes!

So, while I was cleaning today, I took a tally of my CROC collection. Looks like I am at 13 pairs now! Golf shoes aren't in the picture because I was too lazy to go to the car and get them.

Cleaning, Cleaning, and more Cleaning

It was a beautiful day out today, but I spent the entire day in my apartment cleaning and going through a bunch of junk. I needed some organization in the closets and tossed alot of items that I don't use anymore. I even spent 45 minutes cleaning the vacuum cleaner...pulling hair out of the brush and wiping the dust off of it. Yeah, I was totally feeling like Monica today!
I am exhausted! Here is a before and after of the closet.

Holy Cow I need to update more

...so its been months since I have updated this blog.

So, I still need to finish my Puerto Rico trip, but here is the skinny from the last 2 months.

In June, we went to Hocking Hills. Ohio for a weekend. My little sister graduated from Ohio University....go Bob Cats! We stayed at Getaway Cabins http://www.getaway-cabins.com/. Here is a picture of the cabin we stayed in...so cute. These cabins are soooo secluded but definelty not primitive and we were able to take the dog. Each cabin has a fire pit and a hot tub. My parents cabin even had a pool table and fuse ball table! We didn't have cell phone service for 2 days! Awesome!!

Lori B and I went to Norfolk, VA for a week in June for work. We attended meetings during the day, but were able to find some tourist-y things in the evening! We had some fantastic seafood and took a cruise on the river. We got a see quite a few naval ships and a couple dry docks! How cool! We took some pictures on the USS Wisconsin. My what big guns you have!


The month of July was pretty quiet. Fourth of July came and went. We hung out with family and friends. This was one of the warmest weekends so far so we got plenty of pool time! The brothers set off some pretty fantastic fireworks and I tried to catch a few pictures.


K and I took a vacation at the end of July. We went to Hilton Head with my sisters. It was HOT and HUMID. We stayed at my parents condo (time share) while they went to Alaska. We hung out on the beach and played golf 3 times. We played Robert Trent Jones at Palmetto Dunes, Arthur Hills at Palmetto Hall, and Oyster Reef in Hilton Head Plantation. We have been going to Hilton Head for about 20+ years, so we tend to take less and less pictures every year. But here is what I have.

Other than that, I have been playing ALOT of golf. What an expensive hobby! I has a golf lesson last week and learned that my putter was too long....so that means I get to buy a new putter! I decided on an Odyssey Lady Divine Rossie. I usually don't like ladies clubs...but this one I liked. I was pretty happy with my putting today.
Finally, here are some pictures from the garden and the pretty flowers! The garden picture is a few weeks old, cuz the sunflower is way past the fence now. We picked our first green peppers this week and I made stuffed peppers for dinner...delish....Thanks LB for the recipe!
