Flashback Friday - 7 Years (or so)

Hey it's Friday - which means it's Photo Friday. And I'm glad for that because really? notime i'mSUPERstressed andbarelyhadalunchbreak.

Woo! Look how tan I am!

I can't remember exactly when this picture was taken. Maybe one of my friends will tell me later. I think either the summer before or the summer after my freshman year in college. So 2000/2001ish. Give or take a chunk of my memory. Yeah it runs away sometimes.

Moving on. These people are some of my bestests. Hopefully they won't be mad at me for posting this, but I digress. Several of them are married. Their weddings, beautiful. I miss them all dearly. They're spread out across the country (my friend Nate moved to Hollywood even!), but through the wonders of facebook/myspace I keep in touch with a few of them still. Jenn (in the green tank) and I call each other a few times a week. She moved out to Columbus for a few years but then back to Erie for a job. I tell her all the time to move back. I miss her!

I get sad when I look at this sometimes (it's in my office still in the same frame I got it in for a birthday present from Kristy & Lisa), but mostly just sad because I miss them. Sad that I spent the majority of my high school years frolicking with a boy who in the long run meant nothing. That is one of the very few regrets I have. Hold on to your friends and cherish the time you can spend with them. Because soon you'll all be off and married, with kids of your own wishing you could go back to those days of slumber parties, bonfires, and underage drinking. Oh the memories.

Photo Friday - Snooping (Medicine Cabinet)

I'm beginning to like Photo Fridays! This time I decided to switch it up and go with the Photo Friday contest on Flickr. It sounded like fun.

So imagine that you have just invited me over for a yummy dinner (thank you! I accept your invitation.). I excuse myself and ask to use your restroom. While I am there I get a bit curious and I start snooping. I open your medicine cabinet or under sink drawer and I am shocked to find...

I don't know if you'd necessarily be shocked or not. We're not too terribly messy. The top photo does verify however the allergy situation I've mentioned on several occasions. I am allergic to everything, I swear. I survive by taking Claritin-D daily. Benadryl's in there for good measure. And my inhaler, of course. You all think I'm a big loser now huh? Don't stop reading, k?

And our medicine cabinet isn't big enough so our stuff tends to wind up in other rooms. The second photo of my make-up conglomeration is from the spare bathroom. I definitely need a better way to organize all this stuff. Clancy always stops me when I walk down the make-up aisle at Walmart - "You couldn't possibly need anything else!". But really, I do. And maybe if I was better about the organization of my "mess" he wouldn't notice.

So, what would I be shocked to find if I peeked in your bathrooms?

Photo Friday - Comfort

Thank goodness it's Friday! I've been looking forward to this day since...well Monday! I wandered upon Photo Friday and decided to take part this week. The topic is COMFORT.



Appropriate, right? That is our Little Miss Gracie napping on Clancy's leg. She's not as innocent as she looks, I promise you that ... (But no Libby - you still can't have her!) hehe. You can read all about Gracie and our other wonderful crazy pets if you're bored.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
