Change

So this whole 'Weekly Wrap' thing is becoming a bit lame, especially during these long, dark, boring, weeks of winter. I've decided to change it up...

Back in November, Paulie P totally surprised me with an awesome digital slr for my 28th birthday. I was a bit timid at first but we're getting to know each other. I'm thinking of posting a photo a day through February. Anticipating our big vaca this summer, I want to know this guy inside and out!

Ruthie

This is Ruthie.

She spent the weekend with us...I wish we could keep her!

(I think it's time Cal got a little friend)

Ode to Dennis

Dennis is heading west in a few short weeks...we took him out for a night of bowling!

Fun as always, although we got a little bit competitive...

(this chica was my competition...she bowled a 7...no lie)

This is Dennis

Dennis went to Philly U. Dennis made awesome models. Dennis fell in love with a hippy once and disappeared for a bit. Dennis used to have spiky hair and resembled Sonic (the hedgehog). Dennis has a journal. Dennis sometimes likes Bloody Face. Dennis makes love to his camera. Dennis likes to dress up as a cowboy. Dennis stays up until 3am on school nights. Dennis likes to compartmentalize his belongings. Dennis is always trading in his cars. Dennis has a best friend named Steve. Dennis has a brother named Germain. Dennis ques the deer. Dennis let me sleep on his sofa for months. Dennis always brings a good time. Dennis is a loyal friend. Dennis is moving to Washington, the state. Dennis will be missed.

Christmas in January

As always, Christmas at the shore was scheduled for the weekend before the big day...this year 2 feet of snow got in the way. We were in charge of dessert for the small fries. I decided on cupcakes, with a little bit of help from Cal...

They seemed to be a hit!

As for the pollyanna this year, I decided to get a little creative. Although one of my favorite things is buying gifts, I find it pretty hard to find something that's a) worth 50 bucks, b) for a couple, and c) for a couple that ranges in age from 20 to 60. So I created a money tree...what's better than 50 bucks to spend as you please, and even better, it serves as a decoration for the holiday season...although i guess decorations are done with. Boo.

Anyway...it was a great holiday spent by all 28 of us!

Super Frustrated

So it's been a week and a half, and being the crazy perfectionist that I am, hasn't posted anything because I'm embarrassed by the look of my page...pretty lame i know, but the designer always gets the best of me. I wish the computer was on my team!

Us.

They say 'better late than never'...so here we are.

Kim K and Paulie P

It's been two years (actually eleven) and we've done a lousy job

of keeping track of our daily adventures.

We'll see how this goes...
