Day 312 returns

...and we're back!

First, an apology to my faithful readers for falling so far behind in posting. New responsibilites at work and a trip to Iceland (starting on Day 314...) have made me crazy busy. Better late than never, right?

Anyway, after returning from a kickball game in Philly I realized the Fundai surpassed 10,000 miles. Sad.

Day 305 gives up

To say I've been busy and stressed is an understatement. My late posts are still inexcusable. I'm letting you down faithful readers! To make matter worse this effing photo won't load. After four tries, I give up. You can kind of see the flowers I was attempting to capture... Sorry friends!

Day 291, boo!

Here's another glimpse at my mom's Halloween decorating prowess. A ceramic ghost with a tealight candle, now hanging from a tree. Boo!

Day 287 likes your 'stache

My friend had a birthday party tonight. Someone brought these wonderful fake moustaches, as it was a costume party. I may or may not have worn one after a few drinks. The one I wore "The Snob" should obviously be called "The Hitler."

Sidenote: The screen on my camera started to act a littly funky shortly after I took this photo. So, apologies in advance if the next day or two of posts are late. That is, later than I've been posting recently...

Day 284, game on!

Well friends, I joined a kickball league! Tonight was our first game and it was super fun, even though we lost 10-6. I left my camera in the car, as I didn't know what the field situation was going to be. So an action shot will have to wait until the next game. But in the meantime, here's my team shirt. Philly Sports Network doesn't mess around!

Day 253, meet Mayor McCheese

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's flea market time again! I've begun to acquire lots of weird glassware, primarily cups. I was thrilled to find this wonderful Mayor McCheese one for $1. It goes well with the ones I have from McVote '86 and The Great Muppet Caper. The stranger the better!

Day 250's Phirst Phillies game!

I Phinally went to my Phirst Phillies game! (Overkill?) It was a very last minute decision to go to the 7 p.m. game, as my friend texted me shortly before I left the office. Free tickets to a suite for my first Phillies game? Yes please! Peanuts in the shell, beer, hotdog, Phanatic, seventh inning stretch, high fiving strangers, proposal in the stands, exciting win in the ninth. I think I just became a baseball fan! Go Phils!

Day 247 recovers

Remember that party I mentioned in Day 246? Well I was still recovering a day later. I'm talking lots of sleeping, ibuprofen, and no food. I struggled through toast early in the day and finally in the evening I wanted a normal meal. I've been going through a greek yogurt phase lately. While this isn't your typical hangover food, it worked for me!

Day 246 gets dressed

Beautiful weather? Check. Sundress? Check. Party time with friends? Check!

Day 236, pick a color.

Check out all of these crayons! Remember, I have an art teacher mother. I wonder how long it will take a normal human being to go through all of these crayons. There's only one way to find out...

Day 225 is all you have

I'm done with rationalizing late posts. You all forgive me, right? Anyway, I was in Brooklyn for a birthday get together. On our way to the bar, I saw this bumper sticker on a bus and had to capture it. "Now is all you have." Words to live by? Maybe. A good mantra for me for right now? I think so.

Day 220 dropped the ball

Well, faithful readers, it's taken me until the 200s to consistently slip on posts. In honor of dropping the ball, here's my basketball hoop, which I haven't used in years. Appropriate comparison?

Day 218, no excuses

I got a late start to Day 218. Then I went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. Poor excuses for late posting - sorry faithful readers! As per usual, I was in a rush to get ready. Here I am, still shoeless as my ride was waiting for me outside. Looks like I need a lesson in time management.

Day 204 get your gun

Please excuse the late post as I didn't bring my camera cord while frantically packing for New York. Saturday night we went to see our friend star in Annie Get Your Gun. She was wonderful, of course! And it was nice to beat the heat inside this theater near the beach.

Day 132 is back!

This is what I was seeing over and over (and over) again yesterday whenever I tried to post. Fail! Sorry for the late post, reader friends!

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. :)

This was Seattle.... yesterday? This late post is brought to you courtesy of Blogger.com being down for just about 24 hours yesterday. How fun! It was sunny skies and fun little fluffy clouds. Still climbing out of the mid 50ºs here, but hey! At least there was sunshine. I'll take it!
