By popular demand, imma keep going (really, that's what I'm calling it) until I get tired of the picturing and the posting. Word!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixty-Fifth Day

2009-04-21T19:41:00.000-07:00

Get your fork!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixty-Fourth Day

2009-04-20T10:32:00.001-07:00

I don't know if you knew, but it was my decision (fault) to cover up the IHS symbol when Obama was here. Silly me. So I dreaded checking my messages when I came in today. Heee, turns out I didn't get any for that sore subject. (It really wasn't my decision at all.) Also turns out that I need to dust my phone.

Oh boy. Just one more day!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixty-Third Day

2009-04-19T11:01:00.000-07:00

How much do you love this picture?

Three days of Cait!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixty-Second Day

2009-04-18T16:51:00.005-07:00

And I'm convinced. That Cait and I would be extremely happy just sitting outside, watching people, talking about life, drinking Magners, and eating chicken fingers (me keeping it real, her not so) and bread with each other....for the rest...of our lives.

Also, doesn't Cait look like she's not wearing any clothing? Naked Cait.

Best friends!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixty-First Day

2009-04-17T23:54:00.000-07:00

Cait almost died tonight. Ask her about it.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixtieth Day

2009-04-16T19:04:00.003-07:00

TNEC! Luke and Lizzie pretending to be on a boat (as opposed to T-Pain and I in the back there, who are actually on the boat).

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Ninth Day

2009-04-15T08:31:00.002-07:00

Hehehe. I came into the office this morning to this hung on my computer. My work studs accomplish so much. In life.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Eighth Day

2009-04-14T12:34:00.002-07:00

And then this man known as the President of the United States comes to visit.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Seventh Day

2009-04-13T08:05:00.000-07:00

Up!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Sixth Day

2009-04-12T13:06:00.002-07:00

"I'll drive," he says. (Really.) And then he dances around to Bow Wow.

Happy Easter, friends.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Fifth Day

2009-04-11T22:58:00.000-07:00

Missy and Nicole got into a fight. Obviously. Also, it was cold in there!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Fourth Day

2009-04-10T18:37:00.003-07:00

When you spend four hours drinking "coffee," you end up picking up some stragglers. Named Missy. In addition, check out Olivia's bruises. And while you're at it, check out how perfectly that that coat behind Missy matches that lamp behind her.

Happy Birthday, Jers!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Third Day

2009-04-09T22:46:00.001-07:00

Doesn't he look downright chipper?

But anyway: Phillies and SJU! Together! (And Enterprise for Gidge, cos I know she loves her some Enterprise.)

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-Second Day

2009-04-08T17:51:00.000-07:00

Down.

(Down, down baby. Your street in a Ranger Rover.)

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifty-First Day

2009-04-07T08:26:00.003-07:00

So I pass this tree pretty much every day. But today, completely random, I decided to look up. And behold, beads. Thousands and millions of beads. Like it's having its own Mardi Gras celebration.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fiftieth Day

2009-04-06T08:08:00.000-07:00

This one's for my Becky.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Ninth Day

2009-04-05T12:08:00.001-07:00

Lisa introduced me to the world (cult) of Ultimate Frisbee today. And this is what I found.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Eighth Day

2009-04-04T06:33:00.003-07:00

So this is what the Lincoln Memorial looks like at 6:30am on a Saturday.

I figured it probably felt neglected as I have so many pictures of the Capitol and the Washington Monument. But I love the Lincoln Memorial just the same (or maybe more).

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Seventh Day

2009-04-03T13:38:00.000-07:00

My first Muslim Prayer.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Sixth Day

2009-04-02T08:16:00.001-07:00

Woph!

I bet the kid who drew this is from Philly.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Fifth Day

2009-04-01T18:47:00.002-07:00

My first Interfaith Sedar. That's how we do at Gtown.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Fourth Day

2009-03-31T18:51:00.001-07:00

Naturally.

Tell me. How else would/could you take a picture?

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Third Day

2009-03-30T07:33:00.002-07:00

Oh, she'll love me for this one.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-Second Day

2009-03-29T00:00:00.004-07:00

I love seeing old movies in the theatre late at night almost as much as I love taking pictures in movie theatres (at any time of day). (But not as much as I loved Ecto Cooler, mmmboy. Bring that back.) Everybody now: "Who you gonna call?" (The answer to this question is right up there.)

Happy Major-Changing Day!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Forty-First Day

2009-03-28T14:37:00.003-07:00

Kites! Around this monument thing (I hear it's famous or something). Be ready for a few more (or just one) of this monument in the next few days.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fortieth Day

2009-03-27T18:41:00.003-07:00

Reeeeuuunnniiitteeedddd - at our fav place - before we went to see Liz Gilbert (my current girl crush). See Christina's page for our outstanding partial view.

In addition, it was about three (!) years ago that I went to Cosi with a certain roommate (you know who you are) and ordered the exact thing that I ordered tonight. It took about three hours for them to make it back then (Molly complained, and we got it for free). Some new innovative cooking method must have been installed and decreased their cooking time, cos I got this baby in, oh, about seven minutes.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Ninth Day

2009-03-26T19:09:00.002-07:00

Skyler sooo wanted me to put her on this blog.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Eighth Day

2009-03-25T18:47:00.000-07:00

Congratulations!

Happy Birthday, Kevin!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Seventh Day

2009-03-24T14:14:00.002-07:00

Huh. But mine do....

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Sixth Day

2009-03-23T08:21:00.001-07:00

Let me know if you need any help translating any of these. I'm so multilingual after all.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Fifth Day

2009-03-22T04:01:00.002-07:00

Oh. Just the time I went to bed.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Fourth Day

2009-03-21T15:21:00.002-07:00

I play soccer now. (Yet, this isn't even my team.)

Also, check out that time down there. Took my picture at 3:21pm on 3/21. Heee.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Third Day

2009-03-20T18:34:00.001-07:00

There's nothing like free Rita's in 40 degree weather. Spring at its finest. The last time I was here, it was about 100 degrees and therefore too hot to sit on those sizzling silver chairs.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-Second Day

2009-03-19T17:54:00.003-07:00

Okay, lemme explain this picture. But keep in mind my uncreepy love of old people.

So I'm on my nice little stroll home, and out of this house, pops this older couple right in front of me. Hunched over, both with canes, arms interlocked. Now, I'm a slow stroller. I enjoy my walks home. But this cute, little, arms-interlocked old couple put the "stroll" in stroller. Anyway, so the man, who is having trouble walking, goes over to the passenger door and opens it for his little wife, holds onto her hand, and lets her in. Then he strolls right over to his side of the car. I just thought it was the cutest thing.

And so this is the car they got into.

And me far enough away as to not seem too creepy.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirty-First Day

2009-03-18T17:03:00.002-07:00

One of my brackets. With some weird shadow thing going on. But naturally, a winner.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirtieth Day

2009-03-17T13:46:00.002-07:00

Corn beef and cabbage, natch. Yum.

Happy Everybody's Irish Day!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Ninth Day

2009-03-16T08:33:00.001-07:00

So I only just realized that I take a nice little trip to Italy every morning. Who knew. But Milan seems to be going out of business - wonder if it has anything to do with that giant skeleton....

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Eighth Day

2009-03-15T14:37:00.003-07:00

Man, I love this kid. I swear I loved him even before he could point to me and say "nenner." (Or "nenna" or "nanna." It's okay, I'll take it.)

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Seventh Day

2009-03-14T22:33:00.003-07:00

The birthday girl! (Her birthday falls on the 14th this year.) Look at those eyes. We had to sing very quickly.

Happy Birthday, Olivia!
Liv! In the present!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Sixth Day

2009-03-13T11:52:00.001-07:00

Our ride. I think our boss(es) felt bad that we were stuck in the office during Spring Break when no one else was around. So they signed us up for ZipCar and sent us out to scope out retreat centers. And Lisa, being the wonderful coworker that she is, let me pick out our car for the day.

(After this we went to Wawa. Hee.)

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Fifth Day

2009-03-12T08:08:00.002-07:00

On the planet! Congratulations!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Fourth Day

2009-03-11T18:19:00.004-07:00

How brilliant! Not, I'm sure, that it was planned. You don't normally choose your own name.

Rain and Sun!

There's also a rain cloud next to that sun there, but I was too nervous that someone would see me putting those pants on there, so I had to snap right quick.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Third Day

2009-03-10T08:27:00.000-07:00

On my walk home yesterday, I saw this guy (kid?) beginning to draw these. I thought it was so cool.

And, oh look, there go those pants again.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-Second Day

2009-03-09T13:57:00.000-07:00

Yo. It was mad windy today. The proof is in the pants.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twenty-First Day

2009-03-08T14:05:00.003-07:00

Just doing some light reading here today. I wish I could include waterfall sounds in this blog.

Also, while I was sitting here marveling, Kelly text me to wish me a happy four-year anniversary. Absolutely amazing. Slick and Hazardous.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twentieth Day

2009-03-07T19:57:00.001-08:00

We set out on a mission. To get free food. From across the city. Place this free, delicious (and surprisingly a bit spicy hot!) food in our handy Tupperware. And head back across the city with said food to enjoy it and watch Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. As Lizzie said, we MacGyver'd it.

Mission accomplished.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Nineteenth Day

2009-03-06T18:57:00.001-08:00

Mmmmbacon.

They have mirrors above their stoves and counters and such so that everyone can see what the cook is doing. It's pretty cool. But apparently not up to modern standards.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Eighteenth Day

2009-03-05T19:41:00.000-08:00

Dine Out DC! Mmmm. I ate that whole strawberry. Straaawwbraary.

Barely 10 minutes later, we escaped death crossing a street, and left Lisa yelling at us. I then laugh off half of my dinner. Heee.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Seventeenth Day

2009-03-04T07:25:00.002-08:00

Pretty, huh?

Happy Army Day! March Fo(u)rth!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixteenth Day

2009-03-03T17:31:00.002-08:00

And sometimes y...?

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifteenth Day

2009-03-02T10:57:00.001-08:00

I just always have a strong urge to go up to and admire - and then immediately ruin - perfectly new snow. And look at the time! Half snow day!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fourteenth Day

2009-03-01T12:24:00.006-08:00

So we had an hour before our bus.
"What d'you guys want to do?" I asked.
"Want to go see the library where they filmed 'Ghostbusters'!?" Patrick said.
"Absolutely we do!!!" we said, simultaneously and succinctly.
We then all locked arms and skipped in that direction.

(For the record, do not visit this library on Sundays. It is not open.)

The Three-Hundredth-and-Thirteenth Day

2009-02-28T17:42:00.002-08:00

Aww. The birthday (party) girl.

There are some other quality pictures from today, which may include documentation of some solid dancing by some of the former residents of Dahlia Street. Let me know if you want to see them, and I can hook you up.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Twelfth Day

2009-02-27T08:21:00.004-08:00

Missouri!

Just a note: Check out the time. I'm usually at work by 8:30am. And it takes me 20, 25 minutes from this point easy. Nevertheless, I stopped to take this picture. That's dedication...312 days of it. (It also causes me to use words like "nevertheless.")

The Three-Hundredth-and-Eleventh Day

2009-02-26T19:11:00.002-08:00

Hehehe. National Chili Day (i.e., free bowls of chili!!) can only mean one thing, of course. It naturally compels people to see who can eat six saltines the fastest. Apparently, it's harder than it sounds. I don't believe it.

Hehe. Look where the pants are.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Tenth Day

2009-02-25T12:44:00.003-08:00

I was asked to be the photographer (naturally) at mass today, documenting people getting ashed. I did my best.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Ninth Day

2009-02-24T08:29:00.000-08:00

The clock tower! From afar! I work there!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Eighth Day

2009-02-23T16:28:00.001-08:00

Pretzels filled with peanut butter are difficult to open!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Seventh Day

2009-02-22T12:19:00.000-08:00

That's right. We finagled those bagels. Sure did. And I would do it again.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixth Day: Part II

2009-02-21T22:51:00.003-08:00

Hehehehehe. Perhaps this face is due to whatever may be in the mug. Or her love of the lady behind the camera. It's either one or the other.

Before our night on the town. Pretty.

day, Cait!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Sixth Day: Part I

2009-02-21T06:46:00.001-08:00

Sunrise! Or, a sunset as I called it.

I'm doing two today in honour of the bff's birthday.

Happy Birth!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fifth Day

2009-02-20T21:20:00.001-08:00

The beginning of my adventure! Gate J!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Fourth Day

2009-02-19T19:29:00.001-08:00

I get handmade candy corn-themed scarves from lovely people for turning 24.

D'you think that this could work out?
D'you think you could come around?
D'you think that this could work out again?
I don't!
I don't want to be forgotten,
While you're putting all your time in,
Into the things that don't mean anything to meeeee.

The Three-Hundredth-and-Third Day

2009-02-18T21:01:00.003-08:00

Two-thirds of the Tuesday Night Eating Club. Yes, on a Wednesday. Sometimes we like to spice it up a little. Pretty.

Happy Birthday, Christina!

The Three-Hundredth-and-Second Day

2009-02-17T13:57:00.001-08:00

Mad props to my Jersey ladies.

Tell me. Why isn't the "p" capitalized? I'm just saying.

The Three-Hundredth-and-First Day

2009-02-16T15:23:00.001-08:00

I like to take pictures in movie theaters.

"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."

The Three-Hundredth Day

2009-02-15T08:19:00.001-08:00

This appears to be the only picture I took today. Sometimes people find it difficult to back out of our driveway.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Ninth Day

2009-02-14T17:44:00.002-08:00

Probably my favorite valentine. Wearing red. Brushing up on her current events.

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Eighth Day

2009-02-13T21:11:00.002-08:00

Rockstar.

Highlight of the night: "...two Single Ladies we would be...."

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Seventh Day

2009-02-12T17:29:00.002-08:00

Hehehehehee. Slow things make me laugh. I'm not sure why. Look at that line of cars behind this. It was going about a half a mile per hour, and I was walking quite quicker than it ("it," I believe, was some kind of window washer). I was laughing so hard trying to creepily take this picture.

Hehehe.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Sixth Day

2009-02-11T17:24:00.000-08:00

Some of the Prendie ladies inspired me to bring this out this week. But then I somehow kept dropping it. (Like it was hot.)

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Fifth Day

2009-02-10T09:09:00.003-08:00

The tea kettle I swiped today. Nice, huh? Yes.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Fourth Day

2009-02-09T17:24:00.000-08:00

For me mum. And yours.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Third Day

2009-02-08T00:17:00.002-08:00

Best friends for real. I also look a little scary.

NOTE: I count pictures from after midnight as the next day! Come on people!

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-Second Day

2009-02-07T22:43:00.005-08:00

Parties bring people together. With or without alcohol. With bowling though. Always.

I freakin' love Missy's face in the background, by the way.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninety-First Day

2009-02-06T21:03:00.001-08:00

L.A. and Philly. They jiggy.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Ninetieth Day

2009-02-05T18:37:00.000-08:00

Hehehe.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Ninth Day

2009-02-04T17:04:00.000-08:00

My work studs made me cookies for my birth. Well, cos they're awesome.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Eighth Day

2009-02-03T14:12:00.002-08:00

I've been trying to get a good panoramic shot for a bit now. We, er, got a little stuck in this parking garage. Apparently, you can't get back out of the door you enter by.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Seventh Day

2009-02-02T18:14:00.003-08:00

Best friends! In the background, the ice skating rink we thought of skating on for a hot second - after we had to climb over a huge wall, land safely in a ravine, and maneuver our way out of said ravine to make it to the other side (when we could have just walked through the nice - and warm, windless - shopping mall).

I'm thinking of renaming this blog, "Let's See How Many Silly Faces Lisa Can Make." My point.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Sixth Day

2009-02-01T13:26:00.003-08:00

Mad props to the people that gave me life.

Joyous. That's the word that you're looking for to convey the expressions on our faces.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Fifth Day

2009-01-31T20:21:00.001-08:00

2009-01-29T17:33:00.001-08:00

Giant snow ball!

This week has been brought to you by that white fluffy stuff I love known as "snow."

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-Second Day

2009-01-28T07:32:00.002-08:00

All right. Stop. Collaborate. And listen.

About two seconds before this picture, I was locked inside my gates. By the dang ice! I did everything I could think of in the moment to try to unice those gates. I was unsuccessful. So I had to take out my portable pole vault stick and pole vault myself over the gates to get myself unicelocked. I think on my feet like that.

Anyway, that story isn't about this picture at all. But I know everyone enjoys a good pole vaulting story. And I thought this was cool.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eighty-First Day

2009-01-27T08:07:00.001-08:00

I loooove snow!! Even if it keeps me from strolling to work.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Eightieth Day

2009-01-26T10:37:00.002-08:00

This balloon was just floating. Mid-air. In the hallway. Sorta freaked me out. Not sure why.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Ninth Day

2009-01-25T12:51:00.003-08:00

I don't know if you knew, but apparently, when you buy one Obama scarf for the birthday girl, you get one free...i.e., I may have sorta, possibly, maybe, inadvertently become a thief today. Completely accidentally.

Happy Birthday, Sarah! Enjoy both those scarves!

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Eighth Day

2009-01-24T23:59:00.003-08:00

The birthday bizzoy. If you look close enough, you'll be able to see that he is texting me. Me, who is behind the camera taking this picture, just two feet away from him. I may or may not have been texting him back. He may or may not be one of my favourite people ever.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Seventh Day

2009-01-23T22:49:00.004-08:00

My mom didn't want to be in the picture. Heheh. I also enjoy the Philly skyline in the background.

I'm still completely amazed (humbled? privileged?) that after almost 35 years of marriage, my parents still do the little things together - like come to pick me up, even well after their (i.e., my mom's) bedtime. That's right, Mom.

Thank you, parents.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Sixth Day

2009-01-22T18:49:00.001-08:00

Arial shot! Of the dinner we ate before we went to see the movie that we should have seen two weeks ago. Delicious. And entertaining. Delicious. And entertaining.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Fifth Day

2009-01-21T08:06:00.001-08:00

I used to see these (so very blunt) packs ALL the time all over the streets of Europe. Yes, Europe. Cos that's how I roll.

The Two-Hundredth-and-Seventy-Fourth Day

2009-01-20T08:34:00.003-08:00

This picture made me famous. Well, kind of. This is the other view. (As opposed to this.)

Happy Birthday, Molly!
