De do do do de da da da

Today is an exciting day!!!

I'm going to see The Police when they come back to town in November!!!

What an amazing opportunity!!! I'm glad someone was willing to go with me. I was worried that I'd have no concert partner. Leah - you're awesome!!!

What a great couple of days...tailgating and Police tickets!

Now comes the big decision...do I get all 80's out for the concert? Hmmmm... I think I trashed my pleather pants after the Def Leppard concert (or the last time I moved).

Awesome Seats

So...standing room only tickets worked out well for me! Many thanks to my cousin. He didn't make it to the game...but very kindly texted me the location of his season ticket seats. So I went from standing room to 17 rows behind 3rd base.

Yes, the sky looks angry, but the rain held off the WHOLE afternoon / evening!!!

Once I get the wiffle ball pics from Patty, I'll post them...

May I Introduce the Devine Duo...

Kudos to the North Jersey folk who traveled, yet again, to another tailgating extravaganza! And, of course, the local peeps who made the trip.

Meet my awesome brother Matt...responsible for half the sporting activities supplied by the Devine Duo (it's our super hero name....cheesy yes, but I'm attached!).

The football made it into another picture, one of my best investments...one little Nerf has supplied hours of enjoyment this summer!

Look at the sexy car in the background...who's could that be??? Zoom Zoom

Looking a Little Yellow?

I decided to Simpsonize myself and see what came out.

Yellow appears to suit this Jersey girl well. I must admit ... they are going nuts with the marketing for this film. I'd like to know how much they're spending on this marketing campaign...

Delirium?

The picture is proof that I was not hallucinating during the late night (early morning) train rides home. Gotta love it when kayaks pop up in the most peculiar places (especially with wheels?!?!?).

Sigh.... my kayaking love lives on! Listen to the sign.... HAVE FUN

Christmas in July

Well it really was a little holiday surprise. After blowing their lead and J Roll saving the day for extra innings, the game progressed through 5 innings of nothingness until Howard came through in the 14th.

To date this was my longest baseball game!

Uninvited Dinner Guest

What I perceived to be a small leak in my kitchen window has turned out to be termites! They are on the list of unwelcome critters (especially since Franklin and Pemberton cannot tend to them).

It's official: you are considered an unwelcome dinner guest if you make a meal out of my window sill (or any other wood in my house).

Oldie

This picture is about 18 months old, but I came across it and couldn't resist! Another typical BYO night with the architecture crowd, fun as always!!!

It's been a few years now and we have yet to hit the same BYO twice...now that's amazing.

"Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent." > Rumi (I've really been into Rumi lately ... I've been reading him along with Harry Potter ...Persian Poetry appartently is the perfect compliment to Children's fantasy ...in my world)

Home Sweet Home

Sunday was spent at the beach! Honestly, I did nothing but sleep on the blanket all day and read a book. Nice and relaxing.

Alas, I forgot my camera. Sunday's picture is taken from home later in the day. I really liked the way the evening sun came in the kitchen window. Note: Franklin eating his dinner.

Calling All Potter Fans!

What a fun and exciting time to work at a bookstore. Only if you enjoy organized chaos! Midnight Saturday morning the final Potter book was released (for all those living under a rock). I must admit, I had fun working that night. Everyone was in a good mood, and it was good to see some coworkers I don't get to see often.

In typical Trish fashion, I went home...got some sleep, went to the Market, took my little sister swimming, then went to dinner with Leah and Nikki. Phew...what a day. Taxing, but loads of fun! Kudos to Leah for introducing me to Mt. Holly, I think I'm infatuated with it!!!

Friday, I'm in Love

As I continue my love affair with the city, I enjoyed a nice lunch at the Cafe around the corner from the office.

Beautiful weather, and summer fun have been making me smile!

Philadelphia... how I love thee

Happy Summer

Ms Lemanowicz and I stopped by my local watering hole for a celebratory drink last night. Congrats to finishing another term at school. Now you can officially enjoy the summer!!!

Summer enjoyment part one: shore trip this weekend (2 days until we're laying in the sand!).
