mighty mighty pittsburgh

Went to Pittsburgh this weekend for Janelle's birthday. Fun! This picture makes it seem like I did nice things like look at the scenery... but there was a lot of drinking going on. Pittsburgh is a really interesting city. Old, industrial... pretty. I like it. I love the drive there too... Amish people rule, as do windmills.
I'm really lucky to live where I do.... such an interesting part of the country... so many things to do and places to see.
Got a haircut too. People at school really seemed to like it, so I guess it's cool... shorter than usual.
I cut my cable back to basic cable to save money and try to better myself. Basically just means I'm watching more DVDs. Anyways, everything is basically the same as ever... work work work, we have a delay tomorrow, meeting, and then I have to find time to observe the middle school Spanish teacher... and go to the doctor...... and get my car looked at...... and pack..... by next Thursday. gah!

bells bells bells bells bells bells bells

So I went to momma and Natalie's houses this past weekend, one picture from Sideling Hill, the other from a photo album at mom's house... my friend galo and I both had the "Lil Slugger" hat in the middle picture as babies and I took a picture of it as evidence.

Today it is 74 degrees and I went walking through Frostburg for a little while after school. It's a really beautiful day. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 40 degrees. FML.

We have some wonderful bells here on Main Street... and it also smells like someone is cooking something AMAZING as I sit on my couch with the windows open wide. mmmm. probably my neighbors.. they always make the best smelling food. jealous.

Two more days this week (boys basketball will be out Friday... it's funny how just having a few people missing from a class completely changes the dynamic)... half day next Friday.. going to see Janelle in Pittsburgh next weekend... happy.com
