We had a visit from our wonderful paper rep today who brought us a new perpetual calendar... 

I tried a new beer down at St. Mary's Club...

Oh I love halloween!

For our costumes Mike was Sweeney Todd, Randie was Mrs. Lovett and I was Sweeney's wife, Lucy (dead version). Our friend Joey took an awesome picture of Randie & I but here's Mike:


Here is a little glimpse of our halloween party!

This is one of my favorite pics from the night, Alanna and I are in the foreground and Shane and Nikkie are in the back. ( I work with Shane & Alanna)


And here's the girls...Mase was Marge Simpson, Kristen was from the Hitchcock movie The Birds, Nikkie was a studfinder, and I already explained me, we're supposed to be "in character" which is why I'm making a weird face.


And of course Weez dressed up too! (And was out ALL night...he's so grounded)



Being silly (scary) the next morning while cleaning up & Mikey cooking everyone breakfast.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Excited for trick or treaters tonight and party tomorrow!

Unearthed

Last night was a fund raiser for Friends of the Urban Tree Forest put together by our wonderful friend John Metzler. The local cemetery was cutting down a few trees and John got together a number of artists to create art from these trees. The pieces were absolutely amazing and the turnout was great. Unfortunately it was onlyy a one night show, but they are currently looking for a gallery to display the work.

Almost Halloween

Almost time for Halloween and I'm once again excited to hand out candy! We get a pretty good crowd in our neighborhood, which is quite an improvement from my parent's house who only get about 10 kids or less. (And yes, we will dress up to hand out candy.) Plus Saturday we're having a halloween party! If you in the Pittsburgh area, and I didn't already send you something, just let me know!

(I love my mug and I had to share, I bought it after halloween last year and have been dying to use it! no pun intended...hee hee)

Spanish Weekly! Less than 50 days!

Going wedding dress shopping with the girls tomorrow. I'm guessing I'm going to see a lot of poofy, sparkly, lacy dresses and I will say this...

Just kidding! I'm thinking positively! 

Our Garden...

So Randie has tried to plant carrots for the last 2 years and they were quite a sad little crop. We finally found this little guy that looked most edible. 

So I washed him, peeled him and cut him up.

It wasn't much, but hey it was orange and kind of carrot tasting.

Anyone else have any luck growing carrots????

Mr & Mrs Smith

Congrats to Missy & Josh! So fabulous together!

Erin and I right after taking a shot with the (very happy & lucky) groom...

Meadowcroft Rockshelter

This week I've had a little bit of the cold that's going around so I'm a little delayed. Last Saturday I went out of town with my parents to...Avella. This is only funny if you've ever been to Avella, which I have, Kimmy (a.k.a.: Kim-bo-kay or Spicy) one of my college roomies lives there and let's just say it's a small town. Anyway, they have a rockshelter there, that is part of the Heinz History Center, where they found remains dating back to 16,000 years ago.


It really is a cool little place, they just built a beautiful building to showcase the area as well as a native american village and colonial town with representatives at each place to guide and inform you. Also one of the main archeologists, Dr. James Adovasio, is a professor at Mercyhurt College in Erie! This weekend is the last weekend it is open for this year but will reopen in the spring.


TIP: It's $10 for adults but there is a coupon in the Entertainment book!

Wedding Update

EEK!

I made appointments to go look at wedding dresses next Saturday (the girls are coming of couse).

Spanish (kinda) Weekly: 55 Days Left

I like to keep my readers happy. :P


But seriously! 55 days! My vaycay is getting close!

For those of you not keeping up I am going on a cruise with my S * K * A * N * K * S! (Staci, Kristen, Amy, Nikkie, Katie (me))

Mmmm....tea.

Free tea to be exact...found this on my internet adventuring. A free sample pack of Yogi tea! You get meditative time, mexican sweet chili, and berry anti-oxidant. I love this tea! I drink their "lady tea" (woman's dong quai tonic) during my time of month (sorry guys)...and we use their throat coat and a few others for when we're sick. So happy friday and enjoy!

Oh and I think their designs are cute too!
