I now know why I have been in a funk lately. I haven't been treating myself to my favorite guilty pleasure. Tonight I realized that it's a lot easier to contemplate the effects of inflation on exchange rates while watching my favorite upper east siders cause all sorts of mischief, though my future test scores might not agree. Don't worry, World (more specifically, Husband), now that I am divulging again, all will be well.
XOXO.

Keeps Getting Better
Not only have I been waiting 3 weeks to get a freakin multiple choice test back but I just found out I have to go to Canada for 2 weeks in November. I have a hard time in Pennsylvania with all of the ice, so I am not looking forward to being even farther north than I already am. I almost need to put my winter coat(s) on just thinking about it. I'm not quite sure why I didn't get to go to China, India, Costa Rica, Italy...le sigh.
Maybe I'll have better luck next time.

Philly
Scott and I finally made it out to Philadelphia (twice, actually). Our first trip was when the Johnson family came to visit. They did a lot of fun stuff other than Philly that I will defer to Scott to blog about.
After work I left to meet up with everyone and learned that I never want to go somewhere I haven't driven to without a gps. I didn't have mine with me and I realized once I saw "Last exit before New Jersey" that I had missed my exit and Scott had to guide me to the hotel (he did give excellent directions considering he only had a little tourist map).
We had some cheeseteaks (they still kind of freak me out. There is just so much meat on there. ugh.) and saw all of the sites. I think my favorite was a little street that apparently is the oldest street in the U.S. of A.
For our second trip we penciled in a Phillies game. In true Pennsylvania fashion it had been raining all day. It cleared up a little in the evening so they still played but there were two rain delays that we sat through. Luckily the seats we bought were covered by the deck above us so we stayed dry. At least Ryan Howard hit two home runs. Our hotel was really close to the stadium - it was like a three minute walk. So if you ever want to go to a Phillies or Eagles game stay at the Stadium Holiday Inn.
During the rain out they showed another MLB game. During the commercials they played these little cartoon things and I thought they were so funny. Too bad they did not hold their humor the 800th time around.
The next morning we quickly stopped at the U.S. Mint so Scott could take a tour. They don't allow cameras and Scott had stayed out with all of the cameras on our first trip. We then walked to an old flag store and bought a Join or Die flag and the Betsy Ross flag. They are now proudly hanging up in our spare room.
Scott and I have decided we really like Philadelphia. It is a bigger city but it doesn't feel too big. We also like how there is a clear distinction between neighborhoods that is hard to see in other cities.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
There's been a crisp, cool feeling in the air this week that can only mean one thing - football season is finally upon us. It has been a long 8 months since we were here...
...and Scott and I are so excited for Thursday's game. And this year we don't have to miss any games thanks to this. Best invention ever. Seriously. So, come 9 o'clock eastern time on Thursday, don't bother me. I'm watching football.

Sometimes I hate myself...
Seriously. I was trying to spare everyone of my slight (maybe that is not the right word to use) Twilight obsession but I have given in.
I am starting to get so antsy for New Moon to come out. When the Twilight previews first came out I could tell that I wasn't going to really like it (don't worry - I still forced Scott into going with me to see it at midnight) but the few New Moon trailers I have seen have given me hope that the next movie won't suck as much as Twilight and will actually be, dare I say, good.

Photoshop...yes, please!
I am always so envious of people who have awesome looking pictures. I was talking to my neighbor a few months ago and she mentioned that she Photoshops everything and how it really makes everything look better. Luckily I had the thought to purchase Photoshop before I graduated so it was a lot less than if I had looked at buying it now. Since I am trying to do anything and everything to avoid studying I have been working on my Photoshop skillz.
There is a really nice walking trail that is close to our house and every once in a while Scott can convince me to take a long walk. The view on the trail is great! The trail follows a few hay fields and it is up on a hill so you can get a good view of Hershey. I thought these pictures would be good to start learning on - and I think they turned out good. Real good!
