....and I'm back!

hello out there - it has been a while since I posted something... that's my bad... things got busy, life got in the way, blah blah blah - isn't the story for everyone? I am making a REAL effort starting today (yes I realize I said this back in March, so here's another go) to post more often. So to recap since my last posting, here's what's been going on:

NJ Transit
Still driving me (and every other commuter) crazy- crappy service, delays allllll the time, more of the same and then some... wah wah -- I truly truly hope there is a resulotion to the terrible service that is NJT.... for now, I have my crochet and train friends to keep me occupied :)

Call for Artists
This has been stalled and there is no excuse for it. I need to get my focus back on it and get it off the ground. I know it is a good idea, just need to DO IT!! (that's a little self motivation, wouldn't you say?)

Shuttin' it Down in Germany
Mike and I took a much needed vacation! We flew to Germany to see some friends (I'm lookin' at you, Erin and CJ!) and had a freakin' blast!! We hit up four (4) countries in six (yes, 6) days: Germany, Luxembourg, France and Belgium. We saw some amazing sites, unbelievable architecture, ate the most incredible food and spent the week laughing - the best way to be!

The House
Since our house is old, its always a project- actually, I hear that sentiment is not unique to old-home owners- but I am very happy to say we finished our major demo project! We completely gutted a small room on the second floor and redid the whole thing - ripped outhe walls, ceiling, old insulation and put up new insulation, new walls, new paint - it is a totally different room! (pics to come - I'll do a "before & after" comparison. I would love to tackle the bathroom next but that will be a HUGE undertaking... may have to "settle" for the guest room- which needs mostly only cosmetic... I'm thinking amethyst!

So that about sums it up... up next is our annual Munch Bunch Brunch! My family (and extended "family" of friends!) particpate in the Race for Hope event in Philly for the National Brain Tumor Society. It is November 7. Check out my page here

until next time.. Stand By for Further Announcement :)
