I braid my…

Hello!

We are on our way home from South Carolina. On our way we accidentally found ourselves in Charlottesville, VA in search for Subway. What a cool little town!

So where were we?

On the last day, we shopped a little bit at Barefoot Landing which is an amazing shopping area in North Myrtle Beach. We went there last year and had to go again. After looking around for about am hour we decided to try out Dick’s Last Resort.

Ever been there?

It was my first time and honestly, I completely forgot what kind of place it was!

Dick’s has a sports bar atmosphere where the wait staff is SUPPOSED to be mean to you

Examples:

- We sit down, order drinks and the waitress says to Dan’s grandma: “Hurry up! I ain’t got all day, grandma!”

- When we get our food, she literally drops it on the table and screams “Pass it out!” Then we get straws thrown at us.

- We ask the waitress what her name is and she says, “If I tell you, you’ll be screaming it all the time you needy people!” (She eventually told us her name though!)

- I requested ranch dressing after requesting and receiving BBQ sauce. She says, “I just brought you ranch! Do you really need BBQ?!”

The best part was that during the meal, our waitress gives us paper hats and writes phrases on them. Mine said “I braid my butt hair.” HAHA! Dan’s grandma’s said “Will knit for nookie.” Dan’s said, “I miss my boyfriend.”

Obviously it’s all in good fun. Could you work in a place like that? I definitely could I figure it would relieve a lot of stress!

When we {finally because the ride was longer than normal} got back to Dan’s grandma’s house in Spartanburg, we were zonked.

The rest of the trip, we relaxed, shopped a little, and relaxed Dan made his M&M&M ice cream (Mint, and M&M’s! Plus some Andes chocolates!) and it was good!

Thursday night, Dan and I ventured into Greenville for a mini-date. We went to Pomegranate On Main (I would add a link if I wasn’t posting from my phone) and it was okay. I was a little disappointed in the prices and the food considering all the good reviews. I did, however, get a wonderfully tasty pomegranate martini

Greenville is so cute! My sister (Hi Mel!) lived there for a year a few years ago and then enjoyed it for the time they were there. After dinner, Dan and I walked around and came across a huge water fall called Falls Park. Very cool.

Yesterday, I got a pedicure which I NEVER do. Well, once a year if that. My toes feel pretty and it was much deserved! After my pedi, we went shopping and then to a buffet.

Ugh – a buffet.

Maybe I’m obsessed with fresh food, and maybe I’m a germaphobe (I had PURELL at the table and used it a dozen times), but I hate buffets. We went because Dan’s grandma wanted to go.

I feel like none of the food is top notch, and the point is quantity over quality which I’m not a fan of. It was very difficult to eat relatively healthy. (Not like I ate that healthy this week, but I definitely had a balance).

Now we are about an hour from home. Thank goodness!

I enjoyed posting from the WordPress app this week but did not enjoy having my photos too big and at the end of every post. My computer will be welcomed back into my life with open arms

P.S. Talk to me. What do you think about all the iPhone 4 craziness? I got the new iPhone and have had numerous issues with reception and I’m annoyed that Apple isn’t doing anything more. I realize that a little percentage called into complain about the reception, but I don’t think Apple can play that card. I mean, I rarely call things in anymore. I Google the problem instead or visit forums. And why would I call in if their solution is nada? Thoughts?
