Drag

Alex and I dressed up for Bryn Mawr's annual Drag Ball...... We were the only Ennis and Jack there, go us!

You Know You're From Pennsylvania When....

Really it's more like "from the Lehigh Valley", but it's funny anyway. I took out the ones that I didn't get, though, there were a couple of them. Like calling Allentown "A-town." Who the heck ever does that?


You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA."

"You guys" is a perfectly acceptable reference to a group of men &
women.

You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, Bala
Cynwyd, Duquesne, New Tripoli, Tunkhannock, Punxsutawney, Tamaqua, Susquehanna, Allegheny, and Monongahela.

At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long.

You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friends find it weird that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.

You can eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same.

You consider a vacation to be a trip to Ocean City NJ, Ocean City MD, or Wildwood.

You think very little of an Amish buggy on the road.

There is no such thing as a "Philly Cheesesteak". It's just called a
"Cheesesteak."

Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it
really is a premium beer.

You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended Penn State, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan.

You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva.

School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district.

You don't think Wawa sounds funny

You think going to Walmart at 3 in the morning is the most fun thing to do ever.

You cannot buy beer and wine from the same store.

Dutch Wonderland is neither Dutch nor much of a Wonderland.

You think tourist attractions consist of a pretzel factory, a chocolate factory and an Amish family out for a drive.

You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.

It's a hoagie not a sub.


You actually get these jokes, and pass them on to others from
Pennsylvania.

Vacation Planning

Today I had the good sense to look at a calendar and map out my finances from now until I return from my upcoming vacation--and realized that my grand plan of buying a plane ticket now and taking Greyhound/Amtrak back is not really feasible. The return trip would take about 5 days, which means my two-week vacation would turn into a three-week vacation, or I'd have to lose lots of time in Mexico, which I don't want to do. Which means that now I have to plot my week carefully, so that tomorrow's paycheck will last long enough to get me round trip plane tickets instead of one way! *sigh* Finances are so confusing, even when I get paid $15/hour....

But it's going to be worth it! :D

Ursus Maritimus?

Alex has been saying for months that I look like a polar bear.... Here's the proof!

Palm Sunday Pix

The pictures from Palm Sunday are posted on Shutterfly! Here's the site.
I made two seperate albums, one for pictures I took, and one for pictures the kids took. Enjoy!

Wow. Who Knew?

what would have happened if you were never born?

You are the greatest gift that our earth ever had.you will find a way to end all wars and you have kept some people close to you from a depression. you are the new messias

Time for an Update

I realized it's been a little while since I wrote anything of substance, so here I am. Today is "interview day" at my new job--I'm working in the admin office for the Physician Assistant program at Philadelphia University, and they're interviewing some potential students for next year. Because of the timing of the interviews, my boss asked me to come in at 8 instead of 9.... So here I am, after leaving the house before it was really even light. I get to go home at 4, though, which is really nice. I can take a nap until Becky gets home, if I want, or maybe start cooking dinner....
Also, no letter from NYU yet. After speaking to many voicemail machines in different offices, I finally spoke to an actual, congenial man who told me that the decision on my application was only just made and forwarded to the admissions office this past Friday, so I should be getting my letter in the mail by the end of the week. Of course, he wasn't allowed to tell me over the phone what the decision actually was...so I'm stuck waiting! But I'll update as soon as there's news.
On another topic altogether, Becky and I have finally started to catch up on episodes of Lost that we've missed; we watched two last night and taped the one that was actually shown, so that we can watch that one tonight, and be back on track by next week. It's getting so exciting! Also kind of arbitrary! But I'm still fascinated by it, and I can't wait to find out what the heck is going on. Also, I'm a little sad about Henry Gale, I was just getting to enjoy him, even though he's pretty strange.
I think that's all the updates I have, for right now.... This weekend I'm hoping to make a decision about grad school, finalize my plans for Mexico and get my ticket, and spend the day Saturday cleaning my room. And of course coming home for dinner on Sunday. ;)
