A week in Instagrams 5.23.11
Better late than never. :)
1. A very special pizza for Laura, Michael, and I to kick off the start of my vacation. We were all so lucky to all be off work by early Monday afternoon to spend the day together and go on an adventure.
2. Michael taking a break on the railroad bridge on our walk.
3. I don't know who Sanford is, where he's from, or how old these tags are but there's something so simple about them that I like and that really stands out to me.
4. This photo got skipped over last week somehow, so I'm including it in this week. I first noticed this book when I started working at my job about 3 years ago and this is the first I've actually got a good picture of it. "Too Many Puppies" ....A Barbie book or a Primus song? :) This will always be funny to me.
5. Laura left her bed at the apartment so Michael and I finally got it out of the spare room and brought it over into our room. Now we have a "super bed." We had some fun playing with the ferrets on it. Jason gave them this little referee doll. They like to drag it around the house.
6. In my effort to make the house clean and pretty, I made sure to include all the animals. I think the newts are lovin' their clean home.
9. One of my favorite things about visiting home is getting too look at all the trains on the way!
10. Friday night I went with Laura and Michael to see some bands play in Pittsburgh. I always enjoy seeing live music and whenever I find myself in it's presence, I often wonder why I don't go see bands more often. I use to keep busy with local shows almost every weekend when I was younger and I've been to more concerts than I can even remember at this point. The music was good and I got to see a couple friends. However, there were a couple little events that turned the night sour, but I'll try not to focus on that part of the experience. Win some, lose some, right?
11. The Saracastics were one of the bands that played at the pub from the last photo. They are a local band that I remember being around for... well, as long as I can remember going to shows for the past 10 years. Probably more. They kind of seem to disappear for years at a time but always come back with different memebers and fill ins. Nonetheless, they always put on a good show and I like to pay my respects, so to speak.
12. Here is just a snapshot of town while I was driving home one day. The weather has been wonderful lately. We got over a week of pretty solid rain spell and it's been about in the 80's almost every day this past week. That's a little too hot for my liking, but it's good to see such pretty, sunny skies again. Summer is not my favorite but I will always welcome it.
13. This is a photo of my dog, Sheba. She passed a little over a year ago. I can't decide if that feels like forever ago or just yesterday. This dog has an extremely special place in my heart and in my family. I can recall this dog being around throughout my childhood and then later (after a series of crazy events) she kind of just came to us and starting living with us. She was a very special pup. It's hard to put into words. I have lots of photos of her that I'm sure I will share over time. This particular photograph is in my car at all times.
14. This is me! As a chalkboard illustrated character. (The trim around my doors and windows in my kitchen is done in chalkboard paint!) My dear friend, Molly, kind of sketched this up there real quick when she was home visiting from North Carolina. It's a little worn off and has been touched up a couple times so it's not completely accurate to what it was at first but it's just so cute and a fun reminder of Molly so I try to keep it up there! It's much better than the vulgarities all my other friends like to draw on there!
15. Here is Lux and Ick playing in my room while I was getting ready one day. They like to take naps on the piles of clothes on the floor. Lux has become very interested in my hair dryer. He is constantly running up to me and standing on my lap and looking at me while I dry my hair to try to figure out what the heck it is. This last time, he tried to bite it and take it off me. Their curiosity with everything is the cutest!

7. This week I made my way to Donora to visit my old friend, Nichole, and her cute little daughter, Taylor. Of course, I got lost somehow, but I ran straight into a dead end with this lovely looking run down building smack dab in front of me. I love it.
8. I'm an addict. Sorry. I sent in all my LPS stickers to get the limited edition Kiwi Bird and he finally came in the mail this week! As for the Armadillo, I just saw him and couldn't help myself, even though Kelsey said she was bringing me home a few from Florida and told me not to buy anymore! Oops. Guess what? She got me the Armadillo, too. She said she's going to return it and surprise me with something else! So sweet.9.

A week in Instagrams
Hello!
It's time for the recap. This is pretty much a collection of photos from my Instagram from throughout the week. I'm trying a new format for my recap type posts. Input is welcome! Just a reminder: Click on the pictures to make them bigger. I know they're tiny!

1. My anniversary gift to Michael. All wrapped up in brown paper bag. I love cheerful wrapping paper, but there's something so old fashioned and sincere about the brown paper. I did order him something else, but it hasn't came in the mail yet. I'll take a picture once he gets it. It's really amusing!
2. This is what was all wrapped up! The Shins on vinyl. I don't know how else to describe it other than.. dreamy. Everything you heard about things sounding better on a record player.. it's true.
3. Here is the card I made for Michael. I could have gone out and bought one that said some very sweet things, but there is nothing like handmade. So I got out the watercolors and thew something together. Of course, a ferret portrait is fitting, since those little things are our world. I haven't messed with watercolors for some time, but it was fun! Fact: I actually love painting. I don't do it enough for how much I enjoy it.
5.The dirt pile in the lot across from our house. I call this one "My empire of dirt". You know, from Nine Inch Nails - Hurt. I thought it was pretty fitting.
6. This is from my little stroll down the street to the post box. I mailed in my Littlest Pet Shop stickers to get the limited edition one! We'll see. Also, our Netflix movie that we have had from probably more than 2 months. Oops! These are the train tracks right below our house. This is actually a good aspect of our house. I love living near train tracks. It's something that will always remind me of HOME since I could always hear trains at my parents house, too.
7. Essentials! A weekend tradition. Must have waffles with peanut butter and butter and chocolate milk with Hershey's syrup. It's my favorite breakfast and probably one of my favorite things in general.
8. Saturday evening I went to a little place called Walt's Tavern. It's someplace I pass in my daily life but never could imagine going inside. My sister invited me out with her and our friends, Danielle and Pete was there. It was nice seeing old friends that I don't get to see very often. Believe it or not, in the small handful of times I've ever been to the bar since I turned 21, I have never actually drank in the bar. So this was a first! Only one shot of Jagermeister, but hey, that still counts. Yum!
9. A sticker on the side of my car. PENS! I had some great times watching hockey with my friends, Jenn and Kelsey. We don't get to hang out very much and I get very few channels on my television so I never get to see games. Thanks to technology, my phone kept me updated on the seasons and the games as they were actually happening. Pretty neat! I'd much rather be with my friends, though!

10. Maestro gets a bath every Sunday when I clean his cage! I think he enjoys it. I love this little birdie. You'll meet him later, too. I'm hoping to do a post on all my little creatures I've got here, with lots of pictures, of course.
11. Ironlak sticker on my car. You either get it or you don't. I would call my self a graffiti enthusiast. That sounds about right.
12. One of my newest editions to my Littlest Pet Shop family. It's a ferret!!! He came with a raccoon and chihuahua in a little gym type set. They have a have a couple other ferrets. I've been trying to find any! So when I saw it, I just had to have it.
