It's beginning to look a lot like springtime

My favorite part of the year is sooo close and I could not be more excited. Springtime in Charleston is like a drug to me. Winter is miserable and I always tend to get in a slump when it is cold here. Charleston is such an "outdoors" city and there just isn't much to do during the winter. My favorite days are ones when you can walk around window shopping with girlfriends talking about the night before. Add a little bit of day drinking into that and that is my ideal day.

Most of my friends are north of where I am so I LOVE to rub it in their face that it is getting warm down here. Most of you guys are still getting snow and we are already having beach days....Maybe this will be the push for you guys to actually come down and visit me! You know you want to have some more days like like these  :)

Book your tickets now. K thanks! :)

Obsessed.

So my obsession with kate spade is getting a little bit out of hand. I have never really been a big fan until recently and now I cannot get enough. I check the website daily. Something about the colors and little sayings that they always have always gets me in a better mood. How could you not love EVERYTHING they have.

Right now I currently have my kate spade planner out next to my ipod which is in my kate spade holder...with the kate spade calender open on it. Pathetic right? One of the main reasons why I am not one of the millions of verizon customers rushing to go get the new iPhone is because there isn't a kate spade hard case for it yet.

I want to live colorfully every day...but I haven't figured out the perfect way to do that yet.

Right now...I am obsessed with these new flats for springtime. I will probably never own my own pair..but a girl can wish right?

Well this post was short and sweet...I will get down to the nitty gritty on future ones!

Where to start?

 

a little bit about me  

• I am from the one and only Chapel Hill, NC.
• I have lived in Charleston, SC for about 4 and half years now...graduated from CofC in May of 2010 and now am a Talent Community Coordinator at CTS International (a description to come later)
• My family is very close...probably sometimes too close.
• I have two older sisters who could double as my other mothers.
• I have a niece and two and a half nephews (one is currently in the womb)

• I have a love/hate relationship with tennis. I have played since I was four years old. Started playing competitively when I was about 10 and even went on to play at the College of Charleston for two years. The hardest decision I have ever had to make to this day was to quit playing. I have never cried so hard over a decision that was all on me and I don't know if I ever will again. But the good thing is...after a two and a half year hiatus I am ready to play again. Bring it on USTA.
• My relationship with my girlfriends from Chapel Hill is unlike any group of girls that I know. Most people have a group of three of four close friends. I have about ten. We have not lived in the same town for four years and I still can call them whenever I want to and it is like I just saw them yesterday. We often joke about how we all want to move back and live in the same cul-de-sac and raise our families. Honestly...nothing could make me happier.

• The best time of the year is actually going on right as I type. The UNC/DOOK (yes...that is the correct way to spell it) game is this week and my group of friends is split down the middle. The shit talking is actually hilarious. In highschool we would all go out to lunch together...but refuse to sit with each other. Days like today really make me miss home. The sky is bright blue and all I want to be doing is to be at Brueggers glaring and talking shit about Sloan, Catherine, and Lindsy.  GO HEELS :)

• That is all the time I have for now...I could go on forever but I guess that is what writing blogs is about. Just to talk about whatever is on your mind at that time. I will check back later. Peace out :)
