TGIF!

Although I have to work until 8 tonight, I'm still super pumped it's Friday! There is a fun filled weekend ahead of me.

But first, I had the pleasure of meeting and having dinner with fellow blogger, Ashley from Turquoise and Teale last night! She is as sweet and cute in person as she seems on her blog. :) My friend, Kate, also joined us! As sad as it is, I hadn't seen her since her wedding day (March 2010) so it was great to catch up with her, as well! She was a little apprehensive about the whole meeting a stranger thing, but now I'm pretty sure she wants to start her own blog!

We split the appetizer trio (salsa, queso and guacamole) and I ordered the Baja Fish Taco (tempura fried mahi mahi, thinly sliced red cabbage subbed lettuce, cilantro and ancho chili yogurt sauce) and a Tempura Avocado Taco (tempura avocado, topped with a sweet Thai chili glaze, and a citrus slaw). One dollar from each tempura avocado taco ordered is donated to the Green Heart Project, which "pairs volunteers from the Charleston area with disadvantaged youth in effort to teach the knowledge and values needed for a sustainable future and instill the virtues of hard work and success through building an urban garden." Pretty cool!

Tomorrow both the Carolina and Clemson games are on at 12 noon so we'll most likely be at a bar with multiple tv's, enjoying some frosty beverages, and rooting Carolina on to a victory over Florida! Cameron and I met after the Carolina / Florida game 3 years ago - all together now: awwwwwwwwwwww. :)

After the game, we'll go home, freshen up and make our way to dinner and drinks before the Darius concert! I.AM.SO.PUMPED. Darius is one of my favorite people to see live. I need to remember to charge my camera tonight so I can take plenty during the concert!

Happy Veteran's Day and 11.11.11! My Grandaddy Smitty is an Air Force veteran and fought in the Korean war. Cameron's grandfather is a Navy veteran and a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thankful for both of them!

Gotta love his shirt. :)
