Italian Festival Car Show » 2012

The classic car show is probably my favorite thing about the Italian Festival (with the food coming in a very close second!). I'm so glad my dad went with me this year. We almost didn't go. It was pretty hot and miserable out on this particular weekend, but it was worth it to see these all these beauties. Classic cars are seriously just so dreamy, aren't they though?

(Looking through my post from last years Italian Festival, I realized I took nearly the same exact picture of the dash of the car in this first picture here. I must really be in love!)

Instalove; December Photo Dump

A bit of a photo dump of my instragrams from this month so far before Christmas break and before I head off to Jersey and hopefully snap, snap, snap a ton of pictures. :)

My Home for the Holidays shirt from 2009. This will be the 4th year for me. Getting excited!

Street light lit sidewalk to Kelsey's house.

We have lots of sleepy weekend afternoons when it's cold out. Maestro, too.

I'm forever sick.

Washing dishes sucks anyway and this is much more fun.

Ick is a fan of All for All Skateboarding.

New bird cage stand for Maestro.

I snagged myself a globe for the living room.

Goodies are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season.

 Good Lux, using the box.

  I hate cars.

 Early flea market find Christmas present from Michael.

 Favorite movie: A Clockwork Orange.

 Ick and I.

Hansie visiting.

Cruiser

Just showing some love to my Crusier on the blog today! I had a couple days driving the Cavalier and just got the Cruiser back from the shop on Thursday. It feels nice to have it back. I've come to the conclusion that I get incredibly attached to intimate objects. Oh well. I enjoy photographing my car, or maybe any car for that matter. Look at those curves and that shine! :)

In other car news, after a hellish morning in the DMV waiting room, Michael got his permit! I'm pretty excited and also a little nervous to teach him to drive. I can't say I'm the best driver myself. I think it will be a fun, growing experience for both of us.

Yesterday was a busy day. Michael and I got up early to go to the DMV. Seems as though we still did not beat the crowd. There is just nothing good about that place. Most awkward waiting room ever! So glad we pushed ourselves to go, though!

After that, we had contemplated going to the County Fair. It was the last day and we put it off ever day just like we had done every other year. It has been either too hott or rainy out! Well, we did drive past but it was raining so we decided against it, even though we did get lucky and have free admission tickets in our posession. I'll make it to the petting zoo next year, I swear!!

We decided we were going to go check out a pretty neat pet store in Greensburg called Total Pet. Last time we were in the area, it was not open yet but recently some one at work was telling me about a pet store that had a pig in it! I just had to go! I ended up going on a little shopping spree for the pet. The ferrets got much needed littler and two new litter boxes that are much better looking and a little bigger since they seem to be growing every day still! they also got some new treats, which they aren't wild about. Yogies forever! I bought them some new dishes for their food and water. They are really cute but they are a bit smaller than their old dishes so they make a bit of a mess! We'll see. I'll put them to good use somehow. I also got the birdie a new bath dish because he likes to bath in his water dish nearly every day! This one is a little bigger for him! I got him some treats that are berry flavored. He's crazy about treats.

We stopped at Custom Culture and I picked up a Supertramp and Devo record. Soo good. I picked up a couple things from Michael's, as well. I could buy like everyyyything in that store.

Later in the evening, my friend, Angel, stopped over. It was so nice to have company! It doesn't happen very often any more. I hope I can keep up the effort in my friendships because I've missed having close friends since they're mostly all in other states! Anyway, I introduced her to all the critters and we talked a good bit. She's very easy and fun to talk to. I think we have a lot in common, even our addiction to Netflix. Ha.

As of now, I'm headed out to Brownsville shortly to do some visiting to the family. It should be an average, relaxing Sunday. I have some more pictures to edit and some things to work on. I'll get back into the groove of things once the work week starts.

It's Monday

Not much of a post for today. I did not get much sleep last night, causing work to drag on and be super aggravating.

On a brighter note... Today while out recruiting at work, we stopped at Jackson Farm (I'm a regular, I tell ya'!) and I got a very delicious ice cream cone filled with ice cream called mud pie. Mmmm mmmm mmmm... You have no idea!

Also, I do believe my Cruiser is in good hands. The guy called me to ask me a couple questions and he seemed seriously concerned and determined to fix it. Who knows, though. It's hard to trust a mechanic.. ever. I'm currently driving my little junky Cavalier. It's a love hate thing. Anyway, I am crossing my fingers that my little PT Bruiser comes home healthy, for real this time.

I also had a very content moment earlier this evening while curled up on the couch, home alone. I had a full belly of leftovers. I was finally cooled down by the AC. The critters were frolicking about or singing. The house was all clean still and I got to pick somethin' good to watch on Netflix.

I spent the majority of the evening editing photos. I had already procrastinated doing so for a week. That is not very professional, but hey, I am my own boss. It happens. I'm somewhat pleased how they turned out. There is always room for improvement. I think they will like them, though. I doubt I will ever be satisfied by my own work.

Off to get some much needed, well deserved sleep...

Oh, yeah, Hello August!
