latin dancing

I love Cuba Libre. We went last night for the dancing and it was so much fun. I don’t actually know how to do any of those dances but if you have a good guy leading, you’re fine. I want to check out the lessons Brasil’s has on Wednesday nights though. I have class Wednesdays […]

general updates

My Women, Crime & History class is going to be really interesting. We had a huge discussion about Alice Clifton today. We have to visit the archives and we’re doing a field trip to Eastern State. My research paper is probably going to focus on the 1920s. Big surprise, right? Last weekend was really fun. […]

wonderful day

I am loving this weather. Obviously, I’m sure you all are too. I was just in the park for an hour though and had to force myself to come back to work. I met Mike and his girlfriend and her friend for lunch. We ended up getting Wawa and then just sitting on the grass […]

end of coop

I went to NXNW last night to pick up the Gaelic Storm tickets. I’d never been there before but it looks like a great venue. The show is sold out so we need to get there early for good spots. I’m really looking forward to it, the band is very energetic and fun. My boss […]

parties

This past weekend was so great. Our party on Friday and my parents’ on Saturday. I don’t have many pics from mine but as always, there are a ton from my parents’. I’ll get them online tonight. I kind of don’t have a voice right now. People at work can tell I’ve been partying because […]

My dad ends his phone calls with me by saying “This conversation has grown tiresome.” I can’t wait for this weekend!!! St. Patrick’s Day on Friday, then St. Patrick’s Day again on Saturday. :D

save a horse, ride a cowboy

Prospector’s last night with Joan and Connie was lots of fun. We were talking about going to Montana West but that’s an hour away and I’d rather not have to worry about driving an hour home. Connie suggested we get a hotel for the night. Hmm.. edit Or maybe we can do some camping nearby. […]

random notes

Since I had some cousins in from CA and TN last weekend, we were hanging out on Saturday and went to the Mütter Museum. I guess it was cool, in an extremely gross way. It made me want to never have babies, ever. All the deformed fetuses in jars were horrifying. And I don’t know […]

genealogy

One of my sets of 3rd great-grandparents are from Ireland. They immigrated to Philadelphia sometime between the early 1820s when they were born, and 1849 when they got married. I also have records of ancestors from Germany, England, Wales, and Prussia. I just found more info put together by people I’ve never heard of but […]
