The hole my sisters made

Indiana Henry

Henry was at great grandma's for a bit on saturday. He took the opportunity to put on a hat and buckskin leather vest. I told him he looked like indiana jones. So he started marching around and singing the theme song. I should've told him he looked like davy crockett b/c I bet he doesn't know that song.

Why didn't I think of these?

Awesome.

Good News!

Greenville Trip

I realize I've been bad at blogging in a timely manner. But I have been busy with a number of things. Seems like we've got something to do after work everyday. Add to that our attempts to get to the gym and it's hard to find the time to blog.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip to Greenville, SC to judge their ADDY Awards. All in all, it was a pretty good time.

This is the view from one of our host's house. Impressive view.

I wonder what he's a doctor of

Things Mariella wouldn't let me buy - Episode #452

Who doesn't need a prayerful frog.

Jesus Chinese Calendar

I know it's been a while, so I'll make it up to all my readers by cleaning out my photos from the past few months that have been languishing on my cell phone.

This first one is a pic of my new calendar from "toothpick"/the chinese buffett down the street from my office. They always give these out around the holidays. You have several options typically featuring scenes of the chinese countryside. I HAD to get this one. My favorite part is the animals of the chinese zodiac pictured below Him.

Princess Pete

Saw this set of action figures while shopping at Ollie's. Seemed pretty normal until closer inspection.

The princess seems to be just one of the guys.

Welcome Woods

I was at Progressive Field the day new reliever Kerry Wood came for a press conference. They welcomed him with this scoreboard message. Can't wait for the tribe to come back.

Canadian Szczepanik hailed as a hero.

We're good people.

I'm busy

but apparently not as busy as some of my siblings whose blogposts are way more tardy than my own.

Here's a run-down of what we've been up to.
For Halloween, Mariella and I were a wii remote and a nunchuck (we didn't actually wear the costumes anywhere except to show Grandma.) And frankly, I think I was robbed in my work halloween costume contest. My costume had actually working LED lights but the best of show goes to some guys dressed as Wayne's World? A movie that I think came out before they were born. I've expressed my disdain for movie-themed halloween costumes here before. They were amusing but again, not very original. Nathaniel (a newish guy at work) won a prize for his spot-on LEGO man costume. It was pretty incredible.

I beat the snow in installing a new paver walkway for grandma. It's definitely an improvement over her old sidewalk. Thank goodness Mary and Kristen pitched in and helped or I would've never finished the project in one day.

I continue to be active with AAF-CLE and I'm currently helping recruit judges for this year's ADDY show. And I've added a new organization to my repertoire, The Social Media Club of Cleveland. It seems to be a fun group and I've gotten to meet people I've only previously "knew" through twitter.

We're getting caught up in our annual holiday madness. We had the fam over on Saturday for the OSU/UM game and fried turkey. It was delicious and so were the leftovers. My soup was pretty spectacular if I do say so myself.

That's all for now. I have to get some photos off my phone, so I should post again shortly.

Tight security

Dear joggers,

After the leaves have fallen, shirts should be worn.

Thank you,

I hope the Indians make better free agent decisions than this

So my pumpkin pictured below didn't make it into the finals of the Cleveland Indians Pumpkin Carving Contest but these did?!



What gives? I know I'm biased but seriously?!

Here's the pumpkin I carved for an Indians contest. I may need your vote, if I'm chosen as a finalist.

Car fire

The plume of black smoke made me believe it was going to be a long commute. I could actually see the flames jumping from the front of the pickup truck as I approached. I arrived about the same time the firetrucks did. And somehow it was my fastest time in at least a month.
