March of Dimes 11-06-08 08:40am EST
So yesterday I went down to the vending machine to get myself a pop. The machine had a sticker on it that said, "we now take fives!" "Cool!", I thought to myself, "I'll break a five and get some of those dollar coins back to feed my addiction for the rest of the week!" So I dopedly put in my five dollar bill, select "C7" and wait for my pop to drop. The refreshing beverage falls to the bottom of the machine as promised, and then I hit the jackpot!! I got $3.50 back ... in DIMES. Yep, that's 35 dimes now jingling around in my pocket. (Well, actually only 32, 'cause 3 of 'em shot out of the little change door and rolled under the vending machine never to be seen again.) YAY!

I hate dimes. :P
arualAnd the janitor is now 30 cents richer.

Remember those silly little dime-holder cards that Mom had for us? I remember when I realized it had almost five dollars in it and picked them all out. :-p 
mamabearI've been known to move those machines for less than 3 dimes! :-) 
mattiehey, do you have the new AC/DC album?

Jack-O-Lantern Fun! 10-30-08 09:45am EST
So Dom and his sister Hollie and I carved our Halloween pumpkins, and here they are ...

Mine is an alien,


And Dom's is ... Dum da da dum ...

Darth Vader.

Very excited about them :) Despite the fact that someone broke the thin little pumpkin knife while we were carving and I had to run all over looking for another one before finding one at CVS.

RD over and out. :)

Top 10 Things I LOVE About Fall ... 10-10-08 08:49am EST
10. Crisp cool mornings with frost on my windsheild.
9. The feel of a hot mug of tea in my hand on the way to the frosty car.
8. Tea with cinnamon.
7. Stomping and kicking the crunchy fallen leaves :)
6. Cool sunny afternoons that make me want to leave work early.
5. Leaving work early, sometimes 0:)
4. Picking out pumpkins and making Jack-O-Lanterns.
3. The start of hockey season!
2. The smell of woodsmoke from peoples' chimneys.

And the number one thing I absolutely LOVE about fall is ....

1. Pumpkin bagels and pumpkin cream cheese from Manhattan Bagel. Seriously the best things ever!! :)

What do you love about fall?

scbrewerI was entirely disappointed a few days ago, I got the pumpkin bagel and pumpkin cream cheese from Einsteins and it was nastified. But I haven't been impressed with their bagels really... Although what else I do love is the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks... mmmmmmm 
darleen21I'm jealous... living in Houston there aren't falls:( At least the type you get to speak of... enjoy it a little extra for me, ok? 
arualOooh, eat an extra pumpkin bagel for me!!! Or send me some... O:)

Finally bit the bullet and went gold ... yay for galleries!! :)

A few weeks ago Dom and I took a trip to Quebec City with his sister Jill. What a gorgeous city! With everyone speaking French and all the ancient architecture, it really felt like being in Europe. We literally took over 500 pictures, but here's just a few for your enjoyment :)



I really want to go back during the winter sometime to see the city all covered with snow and ice :)

Well, I need to get back to work. Everyone have a wonderful day!
angeladGreat pics!! You look so happy. 
dr_corndogAgh! I want to go to Quebec. 
scbrewerI don't know, I'm keeping the carbohydrate level low, I'm sure it would. 
sullivanThose Friday nights were my favorite!! :) 
eruveNice pictures! I especially enjoyed the "rear-view mirror" effect in Dom's sunglasses on that first one. ;) 
darleen21I'm doing ok, thanks for the thoughts. A girl I know who is my age was diagnosed with cancer, she has a two year old and a 3 month old baby. My heart is breaking!
