27 Pictures from my Birthday Present on my 27th Birthday

Lunch was a buffalo chicken calzone from Central Pizza.  Good buffalo flavor, chicken was excellent, too much mozzarella cheese though, not enough blue cheese, perfectly cooked and yummy crust.

We ate at this pavilion.

I'm ready to go!!

Poison ivy growing up a tree.  I did not know this was poison ivy (oops).  Either I didn't touch it, or I'm still miraculously immune to it.  Poison oak used to mess me up terribly though.  

Mountain Laural.

Here are some pictures of my first fun little friend.
He kept wriggling around and was HARD to get a good picture.
I loved him though.
I just KNOW it was a he.  He wouldn't cooperate.  Duh.




This picture reminds of the quote 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
Actually, the road to the left is the old trail and the one to the right is the new trail YAMBA made.

Some pictures of leaves.

Insect destruction.

A mountain laurel tree trunk.

And now it's time for another little friend.
I love frogs, toads, lizards, etc.
He was such a fantastic subject.
This one is a he cause he's all dirty.







Now for some human element.
  

Josh told me he would jump off a rock so I could try the action setting thing.
He gears up and jumps.
But slips on the rock (it had rained).
Hilarity ensued.

My butt.

The end of our hike.


We hurried home because Josh got reports on his phone that there was a severe storm warning.
Here are some pictures of the clouds before the storm.  So cool.


That's all.

2005 - 23rd birthday at my parents house.  
We had just graduated and gotten ENGAGED!!
2006 - I turned 24 again at my parents with 
Matt and D! as our special guests.  
This was also my surprise bridal shower weekend too!!  
Only another monthish and we were MARRIED!

2007 - I turned 25.  We went hiking at Lake Redman.
And then a group went to Lancaster Brewing Company.  So fun!!
2008 - I turned 26.  Back to Lake Redman again.

So it's 2009 and I'm 27 at 3:42PM today.

But it's NOT Memorial Day!!

I was born Memorial Day weekend 1982.  It was a Saturday.  When Memorial Day weekend rolls around and it's NOT my birthday weekend I feel all out of whack.  It's like the whole world is off it's rocker.  Ha!  Then again - maybe it's just me.  *sigh*

This past "Memorial Day" weekend was busy again.  Saturday we had a WEDDING.  Wow, haven't heard about one of those in a while huh?  

I got to take my new camera to the wedding though.  Wow.  Love it!!  Have some preview pictures.







And here are the rest of the pictures.  Anyone like the cupcake tower?  Hmmmm?  That was OURS from our wedding!!  Ha.  Now the happy couple has the lovely chore of pushing it off to someone else.  THAT was the agreement.  They could have it free of charge, but they have to get rid of it afterwards.

I was an excellent photographer if I do say so myself (for being an amateur with a new camera - ha!).  The wedding was lovely, the reception was wonderful and then we ran errands.  I am not a huge fan of morning/early afternoon weddings (sorry JB and Whit!!).  I just feel like I should DO something afterwards since we were done by like 3:30, but it was post a WEDDING and so I felt like bleh.  And tired.  But then I realized I needed a bathing suit for the beach on Sunday, so we just did a *little* running (errands, not actual running.  i do not run.).

SUNDAY was beach day with the LADIES.  Kandice, Suzy and I took a little road trip to wildwood, nj.  It just so happened to be the kite festival, which was entertaining.  The beach itself was a total bust.  Cold, cloudy and WINDY.  Yuck.  We managed to entertain ourselves though.





Lol.  Nice pictures huh?  Here are a few more.

Yesterday was Memorial Day, but it just wasn't.  For serious.  

Today is Tuesday.  I had a doctor appointment, met Josh for lunch, came home and it's been laundry-o-rama at our house.  B-O-R-I-N-G.  And rain.  Miserable.

Birthday is Friday.  This should be my birthday week.  I should be all excited.  I'm not though.  Maybe it's the weather.  *pout*

I have some weird addictions.

Alcohol - eh.

Food - I do like to eat, but not that much.

Drugs - nope.

Exercise - bwahahaha

BUT, show me a sale on panties and I'm like a crack addict that hasn't had a hit in 24 hours.  OMG I NEED new panties.  I need every color, style, cut.  I love them even more if they have bright colors or funny sayings.  Just TYPING this I'm getting weirdly excited.  Hm.  It's so wrong.  I have a drawer FULL of panties, but I always feel I need MORE.  American Eagle has a line of bras, undies, etc called aerie.  Those jerks emailed me this morning offering 7 pairs of panties for ONLY $25.   

This is TORTURE not buying them.  I may or may not have 10 new pairs of panties from Victoria Secret's PINK collection.  *pouts*

I really want these 

cause like it's my birthday one week from today!!  And HELLO that's my sign.  

I don't think I can talk Josh into this one though.  *sigh*

I went into panty buying rehab for almost 6 months recently and Josh had no idea that my mom would take me into Vicky's.  But she did.  And I came out with my first 5 pairs.

Less than a week later Amanda and I went to the mall and we may have ended up in Vicky's again.  That was pair 6-10.  

It's another week later.  I don't think pairs 11-17 are necessary, but it's SO tempting.  Maybe if I promise to throw out my old ratty favorite period panties.  Hmmmmm... 


SPEAKING OF MY BIRTHDAY...

Happy early birthday to me from Josh and Mom.


I would have posted pictures I TOOK with the camera, but Josh deleted them.  I blame him. 

I'll have to do a post later after I get outside and get some good pictures again.

So I have the Nikon D60 body.  It came with an 18-55mm lens.  Weeeee!!  The accessory pack is coming today.  I can't wait.  

THANK YOU JOSH AND MOM!!  I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

*hugs and kisses*
