What we talk about at work...
CC: "Nature is crazy. The fact that a turtle can be in a shell and he grows up in there and has a backbone, and is a turtle? Man that's just crazy."

Friends in Low Places

I didn't know this, but turns out that Charleston is the place to be after graduating from Winthrop. So my job this weekend was to go visit the friends that all live there now. We had some major girl time and went over to Charleston Southern for the Winthrop game. It was a semi-close game, and it was nice to wear garnet and gold again and cheer on our Eagles. I really should do a better job at making it to more games that I don't have to drive 3 hours for. Winthrop basketball is nothing like the glory days anymore, but watching live basketball is one of the best things ever. We also went to dinner at this amazing burger joint and then went over to the Hammonds house where Ansley had chocolate cake straight out of the oven. It sure was nice to chat about our lives, talk sports with Brandon, and watch Summer giggle a lot because it was way past her bedtime. I'm so proud of all of my friends and how grown-up we are these days. Summer, Beth, and Heyward are real teachers, Shannon is leaving for Argentina in August for a year, and Ktb is an associate minister. All I can say is Winthrop sure knows how to grow em.

Shannon: "This hand sanitizer sparkles! Am I making that up?"
Me: "I think it's just the light."
Heyward: "What drugs are you on?"
Shannon: "No it totally does! It's pretty look!"
Everyone: "Yea it totally does."

Summer: "Look at their pep band. That's high school crap right there. They could've spent a little more money and got silver instruments. That's tacky."

Ktb: "Keeping teachers out past their bed time...hilarious!

Kevin: "Someone black."
Everyone: "What? Dang! Racist!"

Friday Favorites

I tell ya what's good about Rock Hill. Besides only everything, Bethel United Methodist Church is good too. During the January to late-March months, they host something called the "Soup Kitchen." It's not the homeless people version, although I'm sure they would give a homeless person food if they came in, but it is an actual lunch stop where all the food is made by the little old ladies of the church. One woman in particular makes THE BEST pimento cheese in probably all of York County (this isnt a fact, but maybe I should do a Rock Hill pimento cheese search). At the soup kitchen are all of her sandwiches and any and every dessert you could want or need. And the best part is that all of this food only costs $5. You could give more though, because it all goes to their church's missions efforts. So I encourage you Rock Hillians to go check it out and support them on a Thursday lunch run, as Thursdays are the only days it's open. CN2 was actually there yesterday doing a story on opening day and it was slam packed. As usual, you got Jesus drawing a crowd.

Me: "I want to stay up all night but it hits midnight and I just turn into a dead pumpkin. Or what is it? The opposite of Cinderella."

Kerin: "This concert is way better than being in prison."

Me: "The people in front of us just asked us to be quiet. At a rock concert."
Kristen: "Seriously? Tell them shutup you don't like their shirts."

Chick-fil-a cashier: "Would you like some more ice?"
Kerin: "Ice won't be necessary."

Kerin: "I have a video or just a really vivid memory of it."
