This was a Barrel place. 10 bucks a barrel. I thought it would make a nice picture.

 

Beautiful

 

back on one of my favorite hobbies... photography!

 

 

Our weekend in Duncannon on the Susquehana River

 

I am counting the minutes until I walk out this door and begin my weekend.
I can't wait to ride up the Turnpike with my sweetface and have an incredible, easy, fun, sweet & sexy weekend.

Please let this be a fabulous weekend :)

Going home to pack, do a quick load of laundry, and get my weekend face on!

Can't wait!

I'll share with blogging when I return!

Happy Friday!

This is gonna be fun!

We used to go all the time!!!! Seriously. It was such an incredible "getaway" for us. The Susquehanna River is beautiful. We stay in a tiny little town along the river. The Motel is mostly frequented by fishermen. It's no 4 star hotel....
BUT, this place holds a special place in our hearts. Room 29. :) And I just booked it for tomorrow and Saturday night!
We need to go. We love the ride. We love the old Antique shops. We love the River, the town, the feeling of being a million miles away, even if we're not. The old Diners with the old stuff.... and the fresh air. :) And, we love room 29. Can't wait!

Today is rainy. It's weird at work too... The crazy bitch that works close by has brought her teenager to work with her today. I'm all for family, and I'm all about loving your kids... BUT, this is a professional office. You can't just bring your teenager in to work so she can "Hang out" and listen to her ipod and stuff while other people are working... I know. I'm sitting here blogging. BUT, I am taking a moment to sit and express myself during my busy, hard at work day. This nutjob is so far out in left field that I am floored every time she pushes the envelope one inch further. It's crazy I tell ya. I can't post details, because I never know who may stumble across my blog.. but I can say.... NUTJOB!
lol @ Self.

I have a lot to do before we hit the road tomorrow. I just can't stop thinking about bonding more with my sweetie pie. 10 1/2 years together. I love this man more now than ever. I am blessed.
Once he told me, "We have no memories together".. this was of course years ago. Now, we have so many that we forget some things. Strange how time works. Strange how fast it flies by.

I'm losing track of my thoughts. I better get back to work for now.

A visit back to the little days.

We are little... sweet, innocent, and pure. And then we grow up.

I get these pictures posted of me on facebook. I love it. But I always end up looking at them later on and I try to grasp the idea that they are really pictures of me. Sometimes they bring memories back to the surface for me. One's that I am sure I'd never have if the picture wasn't there. This one brought a flood of memories to mind. The one posted above. It's me and my brother. I remember Mom's curlers. I remember begging her to put them in my hair. When she did, I was nearly in tears because they were hot (very hot), heavy, and it hurt so bad when she would slide the clip in. Sometimes the clip would dig into my head. BUT, I was okay with that. Somehow I knew that the end result would be worth it (Was it?) But I don't remember that part. I only remember the pain of wearing the curlers. Isn't that funny? I remember Mom telling me that when the dot in the center of the curlers turned black I must not touch them or I would burn myself. Yet, it was just at that moment that she would put them in my hair. Sometimes it would instantly burn my scalp. Sometimes, since my hair was so fine (as it is today) my hair would get in a tangled mess before she was even able to finish wrapping my hair up. And yet, I loved it. I loved wearing those painful, hard things with the spikes in them. I felt like such a little lady. Such a girly girl.
I don't remember the outcome. After all the pain and agony.. lol... I have no idea what my hair ended up looking like. Did I care? I think maybe I didn't.
Was this some sort of prep course for me? Who knew that I would grow up to be just the same.. loving my hair being done, getting girly, pampering myself with pretty stuff....
I like that picture.
I even like my dirty little feet. My little Fred Flinstones.

And, I miss my brother.

The couch? I don't remember that couch at all. It was ugly. But, I'm guessing it was all my parents could afford. And, I bet it was comfortable. I look happy in that picture.

Pure, and innocent.

Monday. Back to work after a long weekend of fun!

I do enjoy fun and partying. I really do.... but what I enjoy the most, is spending the time with my sweetheart. We had a really nice, long weekend.
We fit so much in! Sooo much in such a short amount of time.
We had a great time at the shore in Atlantic City. It was awesome! Such good bonding time. We needed to get away from it all. I am so glad we did.
We also had a nice, short, and sad good-bye visit with Lisa. The Harkins family has left the area. On to a new life in Kentucky. We'll see them again in December. I think this will be a strange adjustment. I know Brooke will miss Lindsey. I'll miss Lisa... I look forward to seeing them again.
The kids were in Ocean City. They had a nice week with their cousins. They're home now, probably sleeping til 2 p.m. and making dirty dishes.... kids I tell ya.
Summer will be over before you know it. I'm a little sad about that. It sort of feels like it's just begun.
Yesterday was an "off" day. I think with everything going on, it was like crashing from a great "high". I wished it was a better day.... but it was really blah....
Today I had a meeting with the Asst V.P of Advancement. He suggested that I apply for a job that is way more than I think I could ever handle. I told him the thought of it scared me. He told me if I chose not to go for it, there would be other opportunities coming my way. I'm not sure I'm ready for something more right now. This job I'm in now was a huge step. That would be enormous..... and quite honestly, it scares me to pieces.... But, I'm thinking about it. Wow. And I thought I moved as far up as I could. I should never think that way. I guess I have potential I just don't see.... cool.
I'm almost ready to go home. I have a lot to do this week. I am only focusing on day to day stuff right now. It's too much to think about all that needs to be done.
Sad.. this is the last week of Flex time. This Friday is my last 1/2 day Friday until May. Ugh. I love summer hours. Where did they all go?
Thinking about planning another party. A smaller one.
Thinking about taking a weekend with hubby upstate Pa. We love it up there.....
Thinking about how much fun I had with hubby this weekend, swimming in our pool. I never thought I'd have an in ground pool. How much fun is that? I loved every minute of it. Sorry that my sweetie got a sunburn though. I love him so much.

Babbling. I needed to blog.. had to get some of this stuff on record. LOL

I admit, I was searching cruises today.
I'm a cruise addict. I need help.
:) Send me on a ship. Please.
