a little bit of fall

no cell phones at gas stations

So, not to long ago I was yelled at by a gas station customer because I was on my phone with my (former) roommate about home stuff. She (the gas station customer) that the "spark" from my cell phone batery will make the station explode. I have NEVER heard that before nor was there a sign posted anywhere. Pretty much I rolled my eyes and went on my mary way. While on my mary way I asked my roommate and my boyfriend if they have ever heard of such a thing. both saying hecka no! Well....I got gas last friday night at a completely different gas station..and I say this lovely little post that was on the gas pump....so there it is...."potentiall explosive atmosphere". Who would have guessed? I didn't even know my phone had a spark....by the picture of the cell phone posted, I wonder if the spark thing is even a current issue....

blog number two for the day

I got a new camera in which as you can see, I will be having tons of fun with..I took a picture of my dad pretending to sleep...then with the amazingness of my new camera's options, I doodled on him...hehehe..I am going to enjoy this very much..

Gas in NOVA

Oh boy oh boy, gas is going up....It is ridicules on how fast it is going..in a matter of week it goes up 15 cents. I have never budgeted for gas before now...in the past I just paid when I needed gas..now I plan to afford gas...so depressing...I wish that NOVA had great public transportation...but we don't not unless you live and work closer to the City...but you would need to afford to live...sucks..I would give up my car if I could depend on the PT of this area...O'well, whats a girl to do....

little nuggets that sing joy

This is one of the greatest pictures I have seen. It is displayed in the restaurant Mikes. The best part is not shown in the photo I took...but right above this picture is another one of a little old man with a huge grin, holding up a pint of beer.

Little nuggets like this is what I live for. They sing straight to my heart.

Working Hard or Hardly Working

So Last Tuesday the gang from work decided to go to the National Zoo on our break..I must say it was a good time. I am looking forward to going back to the Zoo. (Captions on photos are to follow on a later date)

A Really Long Walk

So Chris and I went on our very first hike at Harper's Ferry, WV last Sunday. I must say that it was a wonderful trip. Below are a "few" pictures from our hike. I took a bunch, and I only put a couple of them up here....oh yeah I like to take pictures....enjoy.

Chris was taking a picture of some off in the distance..I was taking a picture of us..

He was lolly gaggen his was across the bridge.
You can't see it, but right next to Chris is the train track, the only thing separating us from the track is that beautiful fence.

I know, terribly sweet.

I know, terribly goofy.

He is still lolly gaggen.....

It was such a foggy day..it made the hike a one of a kind.

Looks like something from a scary movie...

This is the wall to the Outer part of the old Civil War Fort.

Stairs to the Inner parts of the Fort

Aren't we cute?

I am hiding, can you see me?

The town of Harper's Ferry.

Do you see the rock climbers? There are at least two of them up there.

Flowering Along

So I have this AMAZING boyfriend that sends me flowers...just because. There he is to the right...I dedicate this blog to flowers that he has sent, they have put such a smile on my face.




These two photos are of the very first flowers he has ever sent me. We had just started dating in November of 2007, and shortly after he had to travel. While he was gone, he sent me these beautiful roses with I think a daisy type flower.







These Roses were my gift on Valentines Day...Ain't he a sweetie pie?












Here are the most recent of beauties that have showed up at my door. My Man is back in Cali for work, and sent me the these amazing lilies to my door, just to let me know that he misses and can't wait to see me. I never thought I would be one of those girls that went mushy over flowers...but then again, I have never had someone "spoil" me in such a way. I am so LUCKY. I can't wait to see him and thank him for these flowers. I must say, they just might be my favorite ones. They are so gorgeous.
