Friday is for vacations!!

Eastern State Penitentiary Scary and spooky, but not haunted. It was the first prison of it's kind in the nation.



Friendship Gate in Chinatown. It was donated by there sister city in China. It has no screws, nails or glue to hold it together.



Downtown Philly. The flags were a gift from the different countries for the city's bicentennial.




Rodin Museum We actually didn't go inside here. It was just across the street from our hotel, though.


Since today is Friday and I like to think of my weekends as little vacations, I thought I would show off some of my recent vacation photos. I am still in the process of editing them. We only took about 740. It's not an exaggeration. That is probably a conservative number.

I'm thinking of making it a weekly or biweekly post. I have enough pictures, I estimate in general about 2500. I need a good name for it though. Let me know if you come up with any suggestions.

"Is it really only Wednesday?"

I had a long day at work. I'm not sure how much I am up to writing today. I have so much stuff that needs to be done, wash the sheets, do some dishes, clean the closets, kill dust rhinos(that is a blog entry all it's own), but all I want to do is watch Law & Order and take a nap. Oh yeah by the way I'm almost as passionate about L& O as I am about football. Speaking of football, there are only 9 days until training camp.

Since I'm on the subject of counting days why don't I give a list. Okay lets see :
17 days untill Fanfest at BOA Stadium
28 days until preseason games
53 days until regular season

And last but not least
142 days until my Walt Disney world Vacation with my vacation buddy Joel, my husband, and stepfather-in-law.

If I can make it to ANY of those milestones I will be pretty peachy.

Make sure you comment on how my little blog project is comming. Maybe this weekend I will get some pictures of my projects up. That is after I go see Harry Potter.

Everybody Have a GREAT day.

KittyKids

I decided to take Beth's advice and write about my "children". I have 3 beautiful black cats. Yes I said black. My cats cross my path all the time and the only time that it is really unlucky is when it is 3am and I am stumbling to the bathroom and someone decides they want to be fed.

I guess they figure if they ambush you, you can't ignore them

This is Xena, although you can't see much of her she is a big girl. There is 17 lbs and 4oz of her to love. Don't tell anyone, but I think she is my favorite.

Next on the hit parade we have Gabrielle. Gabrielle and Xena are sisters from the same litter. This is her favorite spot in the house. On my pillow if I am there or not.

This is our newest edition although we have had him close to two years now. His name is Little Brother. He is the one most likely to think that midnight is playtime. And by no means leave water out in a glass overnight, because it is sure to be broken in the middle of the night. When that glass hits the hardwood floors you swear someone is breaking into the house.

Ah a moment of peace! I don't want to sound like they don't get along, oh wait they don't. We'll really it's Xena's house and we all occupy it. She can get a little cranky when Little Brother wants to play. Sometimes they can share space, when there eating, catching prey (ie moths and flies), and when my husband tries to make any kind of sandwich. So really anytime there is food involved.

I could go on and on about my "kids", just ask my coworkers, but I won't. Next time I will have to one of those scrapbook layout projects I promised. Hey I think this blogging thing is getting easier.

My very first post

I was convinced that I needed to have a blog by my friend Beth. She thought it was a fun idea for me to show my scrapbook pages and my other craft projects. So I thought I wiould give it a try. I'm not sure what I am doing but hopefully I won't make too many mistakes.

Let's see I guess I can start out telling you a little about me and my world. I have lived in Greensboro, NC for about 13 years now. I have a husband and 3 cats. My husband and I love to travel, most often to Disney World. I AM the resident Disney vacation expert in my circle of friends and coworkers.

Also I am one of the only women that I know that knows more about Professional Football than my husband. What I like to tell people about that is he usually tells me about the actual nuances of the rules and I tell him the names and stats about all the players. Men always tell him he is a lucky man. I think we make a great team! As a side note there are only 11 days until training camp begins!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!

Okay so I will start next time with posting some of my craft pictures. I am still figuring out this Blog thing. I hope everyone has a great day.
