Well, Chem Dry did a fabulous job with the carpets upstairs. They look amazing. I'm so glad we chose to have them cleaned and we didn't replace them. I hope we saved a ton of money and some of our sanity.

Aubrey painted the guest room last week. He took a couple of pictures of his progress to share with me while I was in Greenville. I finally saw it yesterday and it looks great.

This weekend was crazy. We went to dinner on Friday night at Lemongrass and prepared some goodies for the Clemson tailgate on Saturday. We had a good time at the game but are ready for some later kick-off times and some victories.

Sunday, we drove up to Charlotte to go to the Carolina Panthers game with Michelin. Yes, I know, two football games in one weekend is CRAZY. Here's us in the train (LYNX) on the way to the stadium. I'm such a fan of public transportation. Save on gas/environment, no traffic, what could be better?
The tailgate was nice and the game was interesting. I will have to say I had more fun people-watching than game-watching. Our seats were pretty high up and it was really hot in the direct sunlight. It was freezing down at the tailgate and then we got hotter the farther up into the stadium. Layers would have been a smart thing.

I was a little delirious when we left. Here I am with the panther. Please note the ginormous bucket of popcorn in the lower left corner. I asked Aubrey not to put the bucket in the pic... oh well. I love carbs!

We ended up leaving at half-time and did some "adult" errands. We found a new shopping center right near our house. They have all kinds of "big box" stores and some great boutiques. I spent way too much money at Target- thank goodness I had a gift card from my birthday (Thank you Debbie and Rick!).
