127/365: Shame

Dave and I went to the movies with some friends tonight. My favorite thing about the Ritz movie theater has to be the posters! I saw this one and I just whipped out my camera!


No need for a Walk of Shame, my lady. Bring out your Strut of Pride...

126/365: Queso

Tonight was Grocery Shopping Night with Dave! As we walked the aisles, I told him that I wanted to make a snack for us when we got home. Our snack was a totally fantabulous queso dip made with Velveeta, whole milk, and salsa! I'm not gonna lie. It was amazing!

125/365: Nature Walk

I drove home this morning and saw some possible photo opportunities out in the orchard next to my parents' house so I decided to take my camera with me when I took my dog out for her walk.


I didn't get any of the pictures that I had wanted, because of said dog... but I'm rather fond of this picture...

124/365: Books by Mail

I recently heard about this fantabulous new pilot program that the Burlington County Library System is doing called Library in a Bag. Once you have a library card with this system, you can go online and request items and have them shipped to your home!! How amazingly cool is that?? It's kind of like Netflix... but with books (and DVDs, too!).

Here's the catch. I don't live in Burlington County. So my wonderful boyfriend, who happens to be a Burlington County resident, went to his local library and got himself a library card so I could try this Library in a Bag thing out. He got his card and then we drove back to his place where I immediately attacked the OPAC and ordered us a DVD that Dave has been wanting to watch.

The DVD has been ordered. Now it's time to wait for the mail...

123/365: Wawa

I had my final show tonight... and Dave came! YAY!!!


Afterwards, we went out to Stokes... where I discovered the Tequila Sunrise. Dave drove us home. On the way back to Jersey, we stopped at Wawa for some hoagies and potato salad! Nom! Here's my yummy food, in Dave's fridge, just waiting to be consumed!

122/365: Camden

My boss and I spent 5 hours today in Camden. We were outside of a day care center, helping to celebrate childhood literacy. It was a fun day, filled with music, kids, monkey bars, and a drug sniffing dog named Zero!


This is a picture of the day care from outside.

121/365: Poise Gone Wild

We had our second show tonight!!! Wheeeee! After we were all done, the girls ran all around the stage tossing out free swag to the audience. We had a good time. Obviously.

120/365: PDA

My family likes to celebrate "Stalker Thursday". It's kind of an inside joke. I hadn't taken my picture yet for the day, so I decided to take one of this great event. I said smile and my lil brother and his new girlfriend began making out in the background. Ummm... okayyy.

119/365: New Haircut

My very smelly raggedy looking dog got groomed today... and now she is gorgeous!

After her trip to the groomer's, I brought her back to Dave's for a puppy photo shoot! She sure is pretty!

118/365: Sick Day

I was home sick today. The weather has been so miserable here and it was finally beautiful and sunny today, so I decided to take my dog for a walk. As we were walking back in the house, I noticed how beautiful my mom's flower beds were looking so I decided to take a few pictures of her flowers. This one was my favorite picture...

117/365: Graduation

I was chosen to be a New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) Emerging Leader this year. I'm dorky... but it was a big deal to me! We had our last meeting today, followed by our "graduation" and this is a picture of my diploma! Haha!

116/365: Sunday in Collingswood

Dave got a coupon for a free meal at the Tortilla Press for his birthday, so we decided to go there for dinner tonight. We had about a 30 minute wait, so we walked around for a bit... and of course I took pictures.


I wanted to climb a street sign and have Dave take a picture of me, but he vetoed that idea pretty darn quick. Oh well. I got a few pictures that I liked and this one was my favorite...

115/365: Perfect Eggs

Dave might make the best egg salad ever... but no one boils eggs like me! Look at these beauties. Boiled to perfection... and not a bad or broken egg in the bunch! This is true perfection right here!

114/365: Fan Club

Thanks to all of my amazing friends who came out tonight to support me! I had so much fun and I hope all of you did, too! Here's a pic of a couple of my friends who came out to Stokes afterwards to have a beer! Love you guys!!

113/365: Dress Rehearsal

OMG! I can't believe tomorrow is the night! After 5 months of practice, it's finally time! Wish us all luck..

112/365: Tax Day

That's right. You're looking at my unmailed taxes. Nothing like last minute! Don't worry though! I just need to write a check to the state of New Jersey and then these bad boys are being mailed out! Woohoo!!!!

111/365: Trigun

Sooooo... I ordered an anime from Netflix to show to my Teen Anime Club today... but then realized that I had put that anime in the #2 spot in my queue... and that I had Transporter 3 in my #1 spot instead. Son of a gun!

Luckily Dave lent me Trigun to show my club today. It had lots of action (which the boys liked) and it was funny (which the girls liked) so all in all, it was a great club meeting today!

Thanks, Dave!

110/365: Goose

Dave and I took the day off from work today and went out to the Franklin Institute to celebrate his birthday!

I had such a great time!!! Dave watched me play in the heart, we saw a couple of shows, learned how to tell if a star is made up of helium or hydrogen, and rode in the old school plane!

I told Dave that I was Maverick. Guess that makes him Goose...

109/365: Happy Birthday!

Not only is today Easter... it's also Dave's 27th Birthday (aka "Almost 30" Birthday!!).

I woke up this morning and did the traditional Easter Egg hunt with my brother (we hunt for bottles of beer in my parents' backyard), took a nap, ate dinner with my roommates, and then went to Dave's grandparents' house to celebrate his birthday with them!

Dave got his last "7 Days of Dave" present and we watched some more Lost! I had a really great day... and Dave, I hope you did, too!

108/365: Ace of Cakes

Okay. Maybe not. But it's still one really cute cake. This is my mom's Bunni ("with an i") Cake that she made for Easter dessert. It might not look like much, but I'm excited. I love cake... especially cake with pink icing. Nom!

107/365: Day 5

We're up to Day 5 of The 7 Days of Dave! What could it be? What could it be??...

106/365: To Serve and Protect

My crazy library stalker came back in tonight. But I think I know his pattern now. As long as I'm not alone he won't bother me. Tonight, the lovely people at Circ took shifts sitting with me at the Children's Desk to make sure I wasn't bothered. I decided to make them all little badges to wear so everyone would know how important I am and how much the Circulation department rocks for taking care of me!

Thanks everyone!

105/365: Wet Stitches

My poor wet doggie! We're spending the night at Dave's and I didn't want her stinking the place up, so we just took a bath. After the bath comes crazy puppy time. She runs around like a maniac until she wipes herself out. Poor wet Stitches.

104/365: Eva's

My girlfriend, Eva, is helping me get a birthday present for my boyfriend. This morning I drove to Eva's to do the "exchange". She left the tickets I requested in a ziplock bag... in a tupperware container... in a planter on her porch. I took the tickets and replaced them with cold hard cash! =)

Before I left Eva's house to go to work, I decided to take a few pictures. This picture was taken from her driveway. That's right... the railroad tracks run through her driveway. Craziness, right? But it makes for one heck of a view!

103/365: Daffodil

It's finally starting to feel like spring! The flowers are blooming in my mom's garden (please notice the lovely daffodil) and I started trying on sundresses tonight! Now all I need is for this wind to go away and the temperature to raise another 20 degrees and life will be perfect...

102/365: Roof

That's my parents' roof... and that's my lil brother on it! Eeeks!

Don't worry though, folks! He is a professional! Really. I swear.

My parents are paying my brother to put a new roof on the house for them and he started working on it today. I think it's so cool watching him work. I'm not exactly scared of heights... but there's no way I could climb around the roof without some kind of harness or safety net! No way, Jose!

I'll have to take a picture of the finished project, but as of right now the roof is looking pretty darn great!

101/365: Birthday Presents!

Dave's birthday is Sunday the 12th... so to celebrate I decided that we would have...drum roll please... The 7 Days of Dave!!! It's 1 am and I just finished wrapping 5 of the 7 gifts he'll be getting over the next week. Day 1 begins on Monday, April 6th!

I hope you're excited, babes!

100/365: Rainbow

I met up with my boss and branch manager this morning to talk about the envelope incident from last night. I think we might have figured out how to handle the situation... and the guy (who did come into the library today) did not bother me. I have my fingers crossed that he won't be bothering me again any time soon.

I left work to head out to Nifty Fifties to meet up with girlfriends, Regina and Nicole and as I was driving I saw a rainbow in the horizon. I decided that I was going to take this rainbow as a good omen. No more crazies for me! Only good things to come in my future!

099/365: The Letter

There's this guy that has been coming in to the library and talking to me every day that I've been in for the last week. Tonight he came up to the children's desk (where I was working), gave me this envelope and walked away. Inside was a note asking me if I wanted to go out to dinner, a clipping of two restaurant reviews, and his business card.

I feel so sick now. I'm sure it's totally harmless, but I'm freaked out nonetheless. If he had just asked me out to my face... as awkward as that would have been... I could have said, "I'm sorry, but no. I'm dating someone and I'm not interested." Instead I now have to wait for him to come back into the library or find another way to tell this guy I'm not interested.

I was so freaked out that Dave drove over to the library to walk me to my car. He's my hero tonight! I don't think he knows how grateful I am for that right now...

098/365: Diet Coke Cupcakes

Are you ready for this?

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 can diet coke

Mix and bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes.

That's it. I swear! Two ingredients, mix, bake, and voila! Diet coke cupcakes! 3 glorious weight watchers points and oh so delicious!

NOM!
