Hi Rochester!

We'rreeeeeee baaaaaaaaackkkkkkkk! :)

Hi!

What's up with everyone? I haven't been on this for a while. I've been so busy with work and with Sean that I haven't been on here in what seems like forever. How are you all handling the cold weather? It's supposed to drop down to about 30 tonight. BRRRRR! Anyway, thought I'd share with ya'll a beautiful picture of us when we visited. miss you all! Hannah - wish you were there!

Check Big Picture Rochester out!

I think Sean might have linked this before on his blog. I came across it from this site online and thought you'd all enjoy seeing what Rochester is doing. :)

awwee how cute! :)

Moby's newest video... Hannah this is for you! :)

I have to admit that Moby breakdancing is pretty cool... don't you agree? His videos are always weird or silly. Gotta love New York!

Alex goes Ghetto

Less than 24 hours...

Ok. So It's 1am my time. My flight leaves in 5 hours! I should sooooo be asleep. Can't wait to see you all. :)

The countdown... :)

2 more days!

Shut down!

So I had a funny thing happen to me last night. We went out to this bar in the yuppie city of Burlingame. We had a pretty good time. Towards the end of the night there was this guy that was playing pool and it was his last ball he had to get in to win - or something like that. I wasn't paying attention to him or his game. I have a hot hubby that keeps me occupied :)... anyways this guy asks me to come over to him. I go over thinking he had a questions... I don't freakin' know. Anyways he puts his arm around me and asks me for a kiss for good luck. I kindly remove his arm and then tell him that maybe he should ask my husband. LOL! I embarrassed him and it was fun.
Shut down baby! :)

So yea now Sean and I are feeling the pain of drinking and having fun. I think it was the three shots that we had... along with the beer. So yea we are both hungover. Sean just showered and it's only 8pm! :) We are going to finally eat dinner.

Less than a week!!! Can't wait to see you all :)

I love Guster! :)

Finished - finally!

Since the beginning of the summer I have decided that I should read more. I love to educate myself and I miss being in a school setting where i am constantly being tested. (This is crazy to me because I never cared enough when I was actually IN school... oh well.) So tonight I finally finished the Da Vinci Code. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie now that I have finally finished the book. I have to say it was a long book but it kept my attention the entire time. I think I might be one of the last people on earth to actually read it and definately one of the last to see the movie - but I don't mind finishing last! :)

Anyway, I suggest it to anyone who has not yet read it. Unless you're a fast reader, prepare to spend a lot of time on this book... for me I'm a slow reader so it takes forever to get through books.

Alright - enough dorkiness for one evening.

10 days and counting...

I love tomatoes!

This is something I thought I'd never say. I really do love having tomatoes in our back yard. Today I am attempting to make a homemade soup. I didn't follow a recipe so who knows how it will turn out... It includes:

Lentils, leeks, tomatoes (of course!), potatoes, carrots and celery.

Who knows how it will turn out but I guess I will never know unless I try. So that's my main attempt of the day. I will let you all know how aweful/good it tastes! Happy Thursday to all! :)

15 days and counting... :) can't wait to see you guys!

This is a really cool video :)

More baking... (in a way)

So yesterday I continued with my baking/cooking/etc. spree. Briana and I made Old Fashioned Hard Candy. Anyone ever make that when you were young? You cook it on the stove and then pour it on a cookie sheet and as soon as it starts to cool you use scissors to cut it into pieces and toss it in confectioners sugar so they don't stick to eachother. It's fun and the result is delicious. I found the recipe online at allrecipes.com. It's a great place to find recipes. That's where I got the cheesecake recipe.

...note to the wise. If you DO make cheesecake and they suggest that you leave the cheesecake in the oven to slowly cool down, DO IT! Otherwise the cheesecake will crack and look ugly. No worries though - it will still taste delicious no matter what! :)

He did say for better or for worse.. RIGHT?!?!?!? :)
