Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Well, the picnic went swimmingly. We were completely exhausted the entire rest of the weekend. Oak from staying up all night on Friday, me from waking up too early and all the carrying around of things.. Anyway, the piggy was enjoyed by all. We also finally have the pignic pictures! Exciting.

Oak’s makin’ bacon - Batch 2
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Blogging community watch out! To allow Carrie to focus on things other than my favorite animal I thought I would post regarding the next batch of bacon making! After completing batch 1 Carrie and I were satisfied with our first foree with bacon. It did not take us long to decide on [...]
Oak’s makin’ bacon - Part 2
Saturday, May 17th, 2008So, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to post the remaining BaconCam(TM) photos at the time they were taken, so you get the entire remainder of the bacon-making experience in this single entry. I will do my best to summarize the bacon-making process as narrated by Oak.
So, the salted bacon continued to marinate in [...]
Shout it loud and clear!
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Today NotMartha posted this Metafilter link about a crazy Mannequin in a department store TV show from the 80s.

Catering, Asian BBQ, and dessert
Monday, May 5th, 2008Well, for the very first time this weekend, I worked as a caterer. Oak’s coworker’s wife owns a catering business, and she needed some extra hands to help out with an extra big event on Friday. Oak helps out every so often working as a bartender at weddings and such, but this was my [...]
Still alive and loving ANIMALS!
Monday, April 21st, 2008Man, sorry for the lack of April updates. I promise I’m still alive and kicking - just lacking the motivation to update my site. Sigh! Lately we’ve been visiting lots and lots of ANIMALS! Woohoo!
Two weekends ago we had a trip to the North Carolina Zoo. It was a gratifying [...]
Thirty minute Thursday, try numero dos
Monday, April 7th, 2008
I’m much happier with this thirty-minute Thursday. Another challenge from Lain - I actually skipped one week because I was lacking in bling and buttons, and didn’t want to go shopping for new supplies for it (imagine that!). So, this week we were challenged to use:
-A sports photo (you may stretch the definition [...]
Too sick to shop
Monday, April 7th, 2008OK, that’s probably something that happens very rarely in Carrie-land, but that was the case this weekend. All these amazing sales and 50% off coupons at the craft stores and did I use them?? No. Well, that is until I was able to drag myself up enough to go with Oak to run some errands [...]
NC luxury: A mountain cabin
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Well, Oak really went all out on our two-year anniversary with a surprise trip to the mountains! Best of all, he booked us an entire cabin for the weekend! Here’s a picture of the outside and inside:
We arrived pretty late on Friday night - we made the drive after work. The cabin was in Hot [...]
Indian luxury: Houseboat
Monday, March 17th, 2008One of my favorite parts of our trip was the night that we spent on a houseboat. It departed from Alleppey, and went on a tour of the backwaters. We saw the beautiful lowlands, including many rice patties. The homes were right on the water! Being that it was “dry” season, [...]
