When you’re old and your watch calls you out for missing “curfew.”

sunglasses > syphilus > blood types > aliens > cats > blood types >grant development Party conversation with me and my nightmare socialist friends 🥂

Ugh. Friend’s ex who cheated on her and subsequently abandoned his step-daughter (only father figure in her life) caught me off guard and I accidentally said hi to him. Gonna have to spend the rest of the night washing the ick off. 🤮

Just trying to do the tiniest things but no energy. Ugh.

I can’t believe both COVID tests I took were negative. The body aches are REAL. Still home sick. 😢

Home today because I’m pretty sure I have COVID. It’s a mostly mild case because I’m vaxxed, but the body aches and fever are real. 😭

The funniest thing going on one of my friends’ kids’ “finsta” accounts is that she keeps posting videos of herself and friends at UofSC games. She goes to Clemson. 🤣🤣🤣 #GoGamecocks

Back when both our president and our football team were winners. #GoGamecocks

Dear sports announcers, your obsession with the Ole Miss coach’s daughter dating one of the LSU players is seriously gross. Get back to football.

Stopped by the local Biergarten to eat lunch. Just heard the younger (millennial) bartender tell the older bartender (Older Gen X) that the music he put on sounds like it could be the soundtrack for The Lincoln Lawyer. I don’t know why that’s a burn, but it’s a SICK ASS BURN.😆

Whoa, just noticed you can bookmark posts now.

Obsessed with the new Keith Haring show at the Columbia Museum of Art. We had an amazing time at last night’s preview party.

The other night someone on here questioned whether Alabama “White” sauce was actually white. Here’s a pic of some. We aren’t eating BBQ, but using it as a dip for fried okra.

What we ate at Elliott’s BBQ Lounge: Smoked jalapeño and cheese stuffed sausage, hash poutin with fries (not photogenic/not pictured), ribs, pulled pork, chicken bog, collards, and also not pictured: baked beans and hash w/rice.

Did y’all know the founder of Freddy’s Custards fought with OG ANTIFA? How cool.

We left the BBQ place to ride bikes on what started out as a very confusing trail, but we figured it out and found a secret brewery (probably not secret to locals, but secret to us since we had no idea it was here til we rolled up on it.) what a perfect Sunday! #STTFlotownSC

This will be happening soon. Asheville folks may remember Elliott as the co-founder and pitmaster of Buxton Hall. He’s a good friend of ours, and we aren’t sad to have him back in SC.

I wish I had pictures of the attic apartment I lived in my last year of college. Probably my favorite place I’ve ever lived by myself even though the oven/ stove was ancient and I had no idea how to even turn it on 😆.

But seriously, we had a great hike today at Kings Mountain State Park. And we did have hot chicken afterwards.

Take a 9 mile hike. Eat a hot chicken sandwich. Live your best fucking life!

I’m just trying to live my life over here when out of f-in nowhere, “It's crazy I'm thinking just knowing that the world is round And here, I'm dancing on the ground. Am I right side up or upside down? And is this real, or am I dreaming?” Get my subconscious out of your mouth, Dave Matthews!

Another experience making it to the Discover feed and really considering limiting all interactions with my posts to mutuals. And no, it’s not because someone disagreed with me. The absolute opposite but annoyingly so.

We aren’t really country music fans, but early in our relationship we went to Nashville, and I convinced the bf to wait 2 hrs to get into The Blue Bird. Brett James was performing that night. Had no idea we were seeing such a star in that tiny room. Amazing set.Sad to hear of his death today.

Good morning! May your Hampton experience be glorious.

Boyfriend just looked me dead in the eyes and said,“We should watch Becoming Led Zeppelin cuz it’s been a long time since I rock and rolled.” #Fired

I have not been this excited since the first time I got an envelope from PTBM and there were tickets inside.

I am of an age where a stressful ticket purchasing experience could lead to a peeing of the pants. Fortunately, that didn’t happen, and despite what I thought would be a devastating dream-ending site hiccup, I will be attending my first and second #BMFS concerts in February!!!! Tickets acquired!!! 😭

Yo BMFS folks, do I need to have an account somewhere to do pre-sale? Like should I set up log in info somewhere to save time before tix actually go on sale?

Ugh. I should have watched the phish stream tonight. I feel dumb joining late.

TIL: Budweiser makes a lager that’s infused with clamato. WHAT.

Sunday paddle views - These were on the open lake. We also took a 2.7 mile “trail” through a cypress-tupelo swamp.

Just know if you come to party w/ my friends & I, we might watch football, but we’re also going to embark on a nerd detective odyssey where we’ll work as a team to discover this random thrift store painting is the original album artwork for a celebrated jazz pianist. You better be up for it.

Oh wow. Whatever I googled this morning was incorrect info. The game is at home today (UofSC). I thought it was weird they’d have parents’ weekend without a home game.

Walking through campus I was so confused. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was wearing head to toe “spirit wear.” There is not a home game today. I know it’s an SEC school, but it seemed so weird. I did my master’s here in 2017. I don’t remember this being “a thing.” Turns out it’s parent’s weekend. 😆

First time on campus in a few years despite living less than 2 miles away. (UofSC*) *The of is to help you not get it confused with that rando California school.

Also, it’s going to get down to the 50s here tonight. That is EPIC for this time of year. Stoked. #HoodieSeason

Came home with a little sore throat. Decided that was enough of a reason to treat myself to some Indian takeout. Might share with the boyfriend when he’s done riding with his bicycle gang.

What do you when someone perceives EVERYTHING you say as a confrontation? I’ve already addressed it w/ them directly (& obviously they were super defensive about it), and it’s driving me crazy. Half the time I can’t even finish a sentence without her cutting me off to defend herself w/ no need to.

So I guess last week Lindsay Graham went to the Clemson game and posted about it on FB. There are hundreds of comments and so far I haven’t found a single positive one. Reading the comment thread is giving me life. 😆

My FLEX for the day: I bought $90 worth of stuff from CVS today. After Extra Care Card coupons and two $10 off coupons for getting my flu and Covid vaccines, I only spent $27.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way my boyfriend looks at me right before he’s about to ask if I want to swap sandwich halves.

Thank you kids from New Jersey who come to school here and know you’re supposed to stop at crosswalks. Please tell your friends. #GoGamecocks

On another note, if you get the chance to see one of your friends perform GLOW THEM THE FUCK UP. Life is short. Love your people loudly.

Incredibly NICHE podcast idea : My partner and one of my best friend’s partner reminiscing about the small town they grew up in. I swear it’s always incredible. 😆

Tonight in Venues I Didn’t Know I Was Chasing: Went to see my friend’s AMAZING chamber choir perform in this former Lutheran Seminary. The ceiling is specifically designed to catch sound and force it to swirl around an audience. 🤯

The Washington Post says hot dogs are the new cupcakes. Given the current political environment/ collapse of democracy/ rise in food prices, this checks out.

Oh wow. Today in Questionable Biergarten Behavior, I think this family is about to set up a badminton net. Lady has a full tote of rackets. If this goes down an entire section of the yard will be impassable. Hate to see it, but love to watch it all go down.

Celebrating Labor Day with a feast from our friend’s side hustle: pulled pork, smoked sausage, smoked chicken, mac & cheese, collards, red rice, and water bread.

If Waterloo ever discontinues the blackberry lemonade flavor, I might not be ok. Just putting that out there.

After multiple weekends in a row of absolute garbage weather, we finally got back on the bikes today for a ride through a coastal forest and tidal marsh. Gorgeous day! (Awendaw Passage/ Palmetto Trail)
