station 24

dear summer,

oh how i love you.

particulary on this past gloriiious sunday

which was spent in the sun and ocean

reading cosmo aloud and jumping off of shoulders.

dining beachside at coconut joes with a

beverage of rum and citrus juice,

eating a veggie wrap and deliciously crunchy french fries

was the cherry on top.

thanks for that.

yours truly, samantha

50 Things to Do Naked...ridiculousss.

Taking Quizzes and Judging Celebrities, you know...the usual.

funny-looking bird caught at just the right moment

there are no words to describe this cutenesss

dream house. i want.

picturesque.

slow wake

saturday night was spent at red's icehouse on shem creek.

despite the charleston heat, the rooftop was nice and breezy

and the view was gorgeousss.

there was actually a wedding in the building next door

and we all saw the bride and groom jump on board a motor boat

and set out to the sea. whaaaat

that's pretty awesome.

very berry

a few weeks ago, i learned that using frozen fruit in smoothies

is a genius idea, as it eliminates the need for ice,

which most blenders have trouble grinding,

ruining the smooth texture.

so when berries went on sale the other week,

i bought a container of each and stuck 'em in the freezer.

with a little bit of vanilla yogurt and milk -mmm.

not to mention, frozen blueberries are a really good snack!

house design

while looking for a pizza peel at bed bath & beyond

{as a present nicholas' birthday...shhh! don't tell}

i found this amaziiing creation in the kitchen section and

i. must. have. it.

it's a parrot wine bottle holder!!! see?

see how the top goes in it's cute little beak

and the bottle rests between his wings, claws, and tail?

how cute is that?! ahahaha

i immediately sent brittany a picture text

explaining to her that this will be in our future apartment

and if she doesn't think it's cute, we legitimately can not be friends.

pretty sure she thinks it's "tacky"...gasp!

other things that caught my eye were this fondue set,

great for having an appetizer or dessert party with friends

and those colorful z-stem martini glasses.

climb treeing and cycle bikings

i've been wanting to get outta the house more

and do enjoyable activities, so i made a list

of all the things i like doing - that don't involve a tv or computer

(ya know, besides blogging)

and had some epic nature adventure fun time

with nicholas on friday at the palmetto islands county park.

we rented bicycles and explored a bunch of nature/marsh trails.

my favorite find was the big tree {perfect for climbing}

that stretched across the top of a creek

if only there had been a rope swing (and high tide)...ahhh.

oh! we also saw a cute little raccoon playing in the water

finding food from the top of an observation tower.

fresh baked

my house smells like cookiiies

{iii have a sweet tooth}

in other news, 

i spilled a large tray of beverages on a man at work today.

and a family paid their $50 check entirely with one dollar bills.

ummmm...really? omgah.

then, during the dinner shift i dropped a stackful of plates,

shattering them on the floor. everyone stared.

minutes later, a customer knocked over their sweet tea!
