Weird Sightings...

Have you seen the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dates the woman with "man hands"? Or one of the many episodes where Elaine wears the funky socks?

Well, there is a woman that rides my train with very manly hands. So, I took some "undercover" pics of her hands for your enjoyment.

Then, a few weeks ago, I was at lunch with my friend Christy and we saw "weird socks guy." So here is a fella not bad looking with awful taste in clothing articles.

In case you can't tell, he is wearing white socks with large red stars.

What possess these people to dress like this at work? (not the woman with "man hands") But the gentleman posted above. Now, I'll admit I'm not the best dressed at work (I'm more casual than I should be) but if I were a man wearing a suit with a T-shirt, and white socks with bright red stars, there would be ramifications.

These are just random sightings that I found amusing that I wanted to share with you!!

Weekend Events

Well, here it is Sunday night and I wanted to update you all on my weekend activities. I had a great weekend!! I did a lot of different things and I wanted to let all my adoring fans in on the fun!! Firstly, Friday night I went out with the girls for a lovely Sushi dinner at Butterfly Sushi Bar & Thai Restaurant. I was my first ever foray into eating sushi at a restaurant. I thought it was wonderful!!

Saturday, was Harry Potter day!! It is a tradition for my friend Jodi and I to see every Harry Potter movie together, so we had plans to go Saturday night and see the movie. Also, in town promoting the Harry Potter movie was Oliver and James Phelps (they play Fred and George Weasley in the HP films) they were signing autographs at a theater near my home so, I trekked out to the theater where I waited 2 hours in line to pay $20 for the boys to sign my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I think it was well worth it, yes, a little crazy, but I wanted something to "authentic" so to speak. Here are some pics from the book signing.


(that's my book he's signing)



After the book signing, I went over to my friend Jodi's and we went and saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The movie was wonderful!! What I am really waiting for is the seventh book due out next Saturday!! You (the reader), must be thinking that I'm a little obsessed, yes, I am a bit obsessed, but it's a healthy obsession!! This, too, shall pass!! Today was yet another wonderful day!! I went out to a place called Goose Lake were my friend Celisa and her husband had been camping for the weekend. We went swimming, did some fishing and hung out and drank beers!! It was totally fun and very beautiful!! Here are some pics of the lake.

(this was the first fish I ever caught, but don't worry, I threw him back!)

This week I am going to get a fishing license and pole and make my entrance into the fishing world legal!! HA!!!

Inspiration...

Tonight when I was on the train coming home, listening to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on my iPOD (refreshing my memory/gearing up for the movie), I was disturbed by the girl sitting next to me. She was wriggling in her seat and she became all fidgety. When I looked out the window and saw the horizon, I knew why. The sky directly northwest of us was completely black. I took off my earphones and told the girl that it was no big deal and that it was just a cloud. Well, minutes later we were engulfed by the blackness and it was raining buckets. She wasn't comforted.

This time of year is great for the storm lovers! Although, it is traditionally not storm season, the weather has been awesome. I love thunder storms!! So, I was sitting here at my computer and I turned around and looked outside and saw a purple sky. I immediately went outside and took some shots for you all!!

Enjoy...(these pics have not been photoshopped!)
