Can We Do This? AW Pictures Everywhere...?

Lobsters25 · February 2013

So today is beyond stressing. I'm not even sure I'll get out of the office on time, despite the pending storm, because work is blowing up.

That said, xcaly's pictures made me so smiley this morning. And so did the puppy/kitty pictures the other day. And I KNOW how much FTL loves pictures (yup, I'm calling you on it.)
So, can we share pictures? Pets, diy projects, wedding stuff and fittings, before/during/after weight loss/weight training photos, favorite wedding photo, embarrassing baby photos, or whatever. Pleasssseeee? (Yes, that many letters are necessary to accurately communicate my begging and pleading to make this an awesome photo Friday.)

Here's my fur-babies..Bailey (jack russel terrier/blue heeler), Bear (black lab), and Meaty (french bulldog) And yes I'm one of those cray dog ladies that treats my dogs (and cat) like they are humans! This was our christmas card pic. Here's another cute one of Meaty, too. He is my best photography subject!

My mom thought this picture belonged on Facebook. I'm wearing the pink pants and my sister is in the denim with more denim outfit. We are pretty darn cute though!

Here is (hopefully) going to be the view behind me when we say "I do" cleaned up of course

Oooo I am the bunny!

My youngest fur-baby, Minnie. My mom found her abandoned in the bushes at about 1-2 months old, emaciated and sick with lung worms and cat flu. She is still a bit underweight but is all better otherwise and is getting along very nicely with our 4-year-old Russian Blue mix (posted in the pet thread) and our 17-year-old tuxedo guy. We're hoping she'll start growing into her raccoon tail soon!

Okay, wedding and doggy photos are all that are on my work computer.

Here's smushface decorated for new years (her real name is Scarlett...)

And here's smushface doing her best grumpy cat face, and then trying to beg to get her way ONTO the dining room table at my mom's

choagie42 · February 2013

this. is. fantastic.

loving all the pets, but Minnie kinda stole my heart a little bit.

@xcaly - love the magazine thing about running. i'm gonna remember that!

I don't have much here on my work computer but let me see what I can dredge up...

this is an engagement photo. i'm sort of obsessed with this hat and it has become a running joke in our relationship.

Lobsters25 · February 2013

And here's wedding favs:

we did hats embroidered for our respective teams:

First Look (she got his face for it, rather than mine, which I love)

Bubbles!

Reception at venue on beach (my hair was a mess and bustle ripped at that pt, but whatevs)

choagie42 · February 2013

found some more!!

FI and I after warrior dash last year (and actually after being hosed off)

An old-school baby pic, and part of the reason why I can't smell (i have a broken nose in the pic)

My sisters and I at a concert recently. It's one of my favorite pics of us (i'm in the middle)

And lastly my adorable kitty Martini. He's older now but still a fine lookin' gent!

Lobsters25 · February 2013

choagie, love them all, but the baby one is freakin adorable (which I almost feel bad about saying given the nose incident!)

Giaspo · February 2013

I love this! EDIT-Sorry so many pics (can you tell I'm bored at work?)

@Lobsters.. I've been wanting to see photos of your wedding because I remember your venue was gorgeous.
@Firstimer.. I remember your veil photo and truly it should be in a magazine.

OK - here's the view outside my office window right now. You can't tell but the snow is falling hard (@Liatris.. don't be jealous):

Here's H and me walking down the aisle:

And one of my favorite pics:

Here's me and one of my good friends at the Final Four in Detroit a few years ago...I'm on the right:

We just applied to be adoptive parents to a seeing eye dog non-graduate. Here's H's mom's lab we dogsit from time to time... his name is Ben:

Ben is very large (125 lbs) and likes to sleep with his friends:

Lobsters25 · February 2013

aw thanks giaspo! love the wedding photos and Ben!

here's what we ended up doing with the venue

(ceremony was in an old church, so this was just reception) We're going back for dinner for our first anniversary, and I can NOT wait!

Main Inn:

Boathouse (our location):

Centerpieces:

Dancing on the Deck and Beach:

Firepit:

libbybacon · February 2013

LOVE all of these!!!

@lobsters...you can HAVE him! haha. He is a brat!
@ftl...Thanks!

We got a ton of compliments on them this year!

Here's FI and I in one of my favorite engagement pics:

Here's my mom, sister, me and FI after the color run last summer. I'm in the orange shorts. Seriously best 5K ever. I highly recommend it.

Lobsters25 · February 2013

kw-coolest rd location ever! care to share the soup recipe?

I'll be around to entertain you (or more likely, be entertained by you!) since it's an ice storm outside right now. Thankfully we all got home safely, but my car did not want to stay on the road in the area by my office. My brother's flight hasn't been cancelled yet either, which is incredibly not cool.

Be safe people!

Giaspo · February 2013

@Lobsters... (If you don't mind answering) where are you? I'm in Morristown and it's snowing pretty heavily here. Love, LOVE your pics especially the fire pit. You will have a great time on your 1 year.

choagie42 · February 2013

@kwith - the posing is eerily similar, love it!

Lobsters25 · February 2013

giaspo-I'm just outside of Princeton - just ice storm here. The one hour driving difference always seems to make a huge difference in weather. We're not supposed to have real snow until 9ish.

Posted by choagie42[/QUOTE]

<div>She stole our hearts too and that's why she's still with us! We already have two and were going to give her away to a coworker, but then decided to keep her after all. There's a house on the bloc whose tomcat is an outdoors cat, and he looks a lot like her - we think he might be her progenitor.</div><div>
</div><div>@Choagie - Martini is gorgeous! And I love the name!</div>

Lobsters25 · February 2013

Holy moly kw - no wonder it took you so long! It does look awesome, though!

Lobsters25 · February 2013

yay, questions too?

1. Friends. When Phoebe called Ross Rachel's lobster. My H is not as nerdy as Ross, and I am by no means Rachel, but we both loved Friends and that episode is great. We're also Cape Cod lovers and ordered TWO 3 lb lobsters on our first trip there together (I've been going all my life but H only really started going there with me.) It's been our thing ever since.

2. All 3! I'm also a big fan of popping a 100 cal bag of popcorn, melting a few choc chips, drizzling it over the popcorn, and putting in the fridge for 30 min-1 hour. It's healthy moose munch! Right now I'm having wine, and about to make soup.

kw-you better answer, too!

In Response to Re: Can We Do This? AW Pictures Everywhere...?:
Fun!

1. What's the story behind your TK username? My nickname is Cat (because my name is a derivative of Catherine, not because I'm a cat lady - though I am) and in undergrad I did a year abroad in France - 8 years ago now, eek! I created a livejournal (remember that?) to share photos and stories with my friends and family, and I made my username unchatenfrance (un chat en France - a cat in France). That's been my go-to username for everything since.

2. When the weather outside is frightful, how do you cope with it? Hot chocolate? Wine? Blankets and movie marathons? Red wine and TV/movies. Glorious.

Giaspo · February 2013

I'm still working - moved from office to kitchen table and, like Lobsters, am enjoying a glass of wine. H is heating up Superbowl leftovers.

1. What's the story behind your TK username?
My name is Gianine (which is "Janine" in Italian, spelled like Gianna) and H's nickname is Spo which turned into Giaspo.

2. When the weather outside is frightful, how do you cope with it? Hot chocolate? Wine? Blankets and movie marathons?
Wine. Spinach dip. Pajamas all day. And baking. Brownies tomorrow!

Lobsters25 · February 2013

brownies yum....

we totally just split a pint of frozen yogurt. put me over for my calories today (because I ended up not working out after the long day at work), but it was so worth it.

love everyone's sn stories!

edit: and we just decided to crawl into bed under a giant comforter with our bottle of wine and movies at 6:43pm. No shame.

whinkle863 · February 2013
