If you guessed my brother Jonathan you'd be right!

(here he is pictured with his brother dillon)

fun times he's moving in tomorrow. he's moving in and I'm going to a wedding up in Northern Indiana - LOL! It will be fun to have him around though florida was way too far for me, of course I spend 1/2 my time in Boston but still.

Oh and other exciting news I'll get to see some of my favorite people this weekend at the wedding should be good times I'm sure I'll pop back in and share pictures.

Guess who??

Guess who could be back in Indiana soon?
Guess who is not visiting?
Guess who will soon occupy my guest room?
I'll give you a few hints...
The blistery winter temperatures we are having will turn him into a popsicle.
I saw him less than a month ago.
He and I are related.
Any guesses?
Well I guess I need to work on moving the contents of the closet to the garage.

Happy Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to my darling Sammie! See you this weekend so presents will be late.
And a slightly belated happy birthday to Logan (always my favorite of Jodie's boys!) Ahhh so many birthday's in November.

Anybody know these people?

They were at my house today and I am not quite sure who they are? They look vaguely familiar don't they?
What fun two old wigs from a friend can be. Thanks Kelli - we got a few great laughs out of them today.

The 8 seater model

We didn't get a pic of the 10-seater but Jonathan tested this 8 seater out. I need to get back to taking my photos a day I missed several in October, but November I'm trying to redeem myself.

Weekly 4 - Wednesday Randomness

1. Home all week, such a treat. I'm making special use of this time to bust a move on Christmas. Yes that's right I started making gifts already!
2. I have eaten all my meals out of bowls this week. Bowls are so underrated we should eat out of them more. I love bowls although it's not fun to say like spork.
3. I have a curse of phones. I can't turn my cell phone off - it just doesn't shut off ever (this can't be good for plane travel), and now my house phones which are new I might add keep telling me to register them who registers phones the manual doesn't mention it? What does it mean? So I busted out the old phone which the #1 doesn't work. so I guess I can't call any long distance or 911.
4. My neighbors Bob, Mrs. Bob and Eli moved out sunday. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Bob. - I'm assuming since there's only 2 bedrooms it must be just one person moving in.

Back to reality...

Boo on vacation ending - I came back to Boston today (which is like another vacation just not the same). We had the best time - our hotel was awesome yay travel miles, st. pete despite it's econmic depression in october proved to be a cool place to be, although one should note that bars on the baywalk are "lame" and places called the bishop are not on central ave, oh and people should look out for oversized bicycles riding on the sidewalk. The beaches nearby were fabulous - my favorite being north beach despite the wind we found while there, and who doesn't like having dolphins at the nearby pier. Everyone needs a fall florida break in my opinion - you should be jealous as we got to hang with boston red sox players (yes JJ Cocoa Crisp is his name), epsn sports analysts, sit across the bar from wwf wrestlers and then I bumped into jared the subway guy at the indy airport. However none of these celebrities compare too my two favorite celebs who completely rock - the jones brothers! I'm so proud to call you my brothers and my friends you both turned out to be great men and good things are in your future. I love you guys and miss you already.

Jono and I at Fort Desota

Feet in the sand
Sand Castles
Fort Desota Pier
A cannon that's not our usual cannon but we still can climb them.
Worlds Largest Shuffleboard court (this place is adoreable unforunately they weren't there to let us play some shuffleboard).
But we still enjoyed seeing it.
Would you believe this is one tree - looks like a forest truly awesome.
We saw like 3 pods of dolphins off the end of the pier better than sea world.
St. Pete Pier - this place has nothing on chicago's navy pier but it's still fun.
