Gettin' Ready

So I really have had absolutely no time to write a blog lately. I am busy trying to get the house ready to sell and of course we were without power for three days which didn't help. I still feel like I don't have time to be writing this blog so I am going to make it a picture blog with a couple of captions. Teed's dream come true!

We all had a fun time at Applebee's with Alice. It was her first trip out to a restaurant! Oh, and the reason we went was because Mo and I had gift cards we needed to use. I do love a good fru fru drink!

This is Taca being fed in the dark since we had no electricity for 3 days. Teed and Mo say she loves looking at light, but unfortunately for her there was none around. Ando, Jenster and I grilled up some shrimp and sausages on Monday to get rid of our thawing out food and on Tuesday Teed had us all over to eat some of his thawing meat. We finally got power back on Wednesday early in the morning; it went out on Sunday afternoon, ughhh! Thank goodness our power has been restored, some still don't have electricity.

On Wednesday I went to the Reds game. It was my first night with electricity and I spent it away from my house. But the tickets were free and in the first row on the third base side. We sat right next to the ball boy and made friends with him. Well really just acquaintances for the night. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera out when two dudes came running down our aisle and hopped the fence out onto the field. They almost made it over the right field fence before finally being caught. Tight security at the Reds Games I found out!

I know this is a fuzzy picture, but you can kind of get the idea. On Thursday my cars Odometer hit 77777 miles so I had to take a picture. I was driving and trying to take a picture at the same time so this is the best I got. If anyone wants to buy my car it is for sale; just let me know. Please someone buy my car!

Friday was my last day of work at West Chester. This is a picture of some old co-workers that I went to lunch with. It was a pretty uneventful day since my boss was out of town, my co-worker worked that night, the secretary only works half a day and the PIO, public Information officer took the day off. I did have a "drink" at lunch since it was my last day; what could they do fire me. The pictures that follow are me at a work on my final night of shooting a sporting event. Thanks to Macho Max for the pictures.

Directing a football game and trying to run a replay all at the same time. And no neither one of those Cokes are mine.

My final cable reel wind up.

Programming the game to play back on air in master control.

Saturday was Ando's cousin's wedding. The ceremony was in OTR and the reception was at Kolping Center. These are some pictures of the fun times had by all. And yes it was an open bar.

J and D dancing.

Cousin table 1.

Some non dancing on the dance floor.

Ando hating every minute of me hanging on him.

BH and DKNY dancin' it up.

Cousin Ev dancing and picking up every dance move right away. It was quite remarkable.

The end of the night. At least the end of the wedding. I have no pictures of the after party and all the Keystone Lights that were had. Keystone Light should be enough of a clue as to how the rest of the night went.

Sunday Jenster, Ando and I went to Oktoberfest after the Bengals game. It wasn't quite as crowded as I was expecting and we had some good food. Here is Ando eating a sausage of course.

Here is Jenster eating a pastry of course.

Ando and I waiting for Jenster to come out of the bathroom. Also when I went to get money out of the ATM the security guard told me I "was a very beautiful lady". It was a little awkward getting money out after that. And then later some guy passes me and said hey and gave me a high five type thing. They were both very bizarre moments for me.

I am so busy and lazy that I am doing a mostly picture blog; no bun in the oven to make me even busier.
