I'm glad I shaped my eyebrows...b/c if you click on the pic, you see way too much!

Long night!!!

2008-03-05T09:09:00.000-05:00

There was only one tornado reported in Efland where my boss lives out in the country, and no damage reported. The wind and lightening were fierce, though, and rain was pounding down. The pine outside was swaying back and forth all night!

Making sure it's spotless and perfect so we can get our deposit back!!!

The living room--all those garbage bags are full of my clothes.... There's my white desk I'm almost finished painting. I've just got to do the drawer and pull out board and put the pretty rose knob on and it'll be so cute!

Bathroom duty

2007-12-22T09:08:00.001-05:00

Here's a silly Christmas e-card from us to you~! A real one will come later...

December in North Caroliny

2007-12-02T17:09:00.001-05:00

Here's a picture of what December looks like so far in NC. Most of the leaves are gone, but a considerable amount have really thick dark green leaves that don't seem to fall off. We are about 2 months behind VT. It is in the low to mid 50s and usually sunny or overcast, but no rain or snow yet. Very mild!

New livingroom setup

2007-11-25T10:13:00.001-05:00

We had guests John and Amy over last night and definitely had to make the living room a living ROOM. We brought the futon and TV stuff in there and now it is a nice little area. I also have my new table I found waiting to be thrown out by someone crazy! It is really nice and a heavy one that will last. Doesn't go with my white chairs, but that's ok.

I call it, "Garage Sale Chic" ! :)

2007-09-01T20:29:00.000-05:00

Introducing........CHUNK THE FERRET! He had been at the pet store for a really long time, and no one wanted him because he was so fat, but we loved him when Matt picked him up and he just kind of snorted and sighed and laid there. Opposite of Gonzo! They gave us a discount because he was there so long and was so overweight! He is running around now, though, and he will unfortunately lose the weight. :( We like him chunky!

Aww! Gonz finally has a pal to cuddle with!

Nothing like ferret friendship

Chunk is the biggest ferret we've ever seen! He weighs over 5 lbs!

Matty is a happy boy!!!

They don't like to be apart

:o)

FIESTAAAA!!!!!

2007-08-26T07:48:00.001-05:00

It is Fiesta time for a little Puerto Rican kid at Briarwood Apartments! They partied all day and till 11:00 p.m. Of course, you can't forget the "La Princesa" cart man!!! LOL!

The tree was in the way, but there were a ton of people behind it in the playground sitting at tables and there were balloons up the wazoo!

Gonz being cute again...

2007-08-18T14:11:00.001-05:00

He is quite affectionate

Look at that Mug

This is how he prefers to sleep! Half in, half out!

I haven't posted on here for awhile and here's the reason:

My job!

Here is the big beautiful building I work behind...

See that little building to the left of this big one? That's where I work!

Isn't it gorgeous?

There is an old chapel inside with huge ceilings and a beautiful organ. It is very old--obviously.

It is said that there is a ghost of a woman that haunts the cupola/tower thing at the top of this building...

SPOOKY!

Jane Monheit Concert

2006-07-22T19:39:00.000-05:00

We went to see the gorgeous and talented jazz vocalist Jane Monheit in Manchester, VT. It was only an hour show, but it was worth the three hour drive. I have NEVER heard anyone so vocally talented.

Starry-eyed Sarah after the show

Weell...it's been one year that we've been married, and we are still happy as CLAMS! That's why we went to the beach. Well, beach to me but not a real ocean beach. Lake Champlain! This is the Sandbar in South Hero near where I grew up. We decided to go rafting in the "bay" and just relax. It was about 90 degrees and HUMID, so a little water was nice...

Matt checking for sharks

Hmmm, who do you think is doing all the rowing?

"Hey, woman, get me a beeah!" (Just kiddin...)
