new year's weekend recap

[swingchickie]

finally, a few minutes to recap new year's weekend! it was a great time, and there are a ton of pix, so i'm putting them behind an lj-cut:

thursday: QVC studios tour with mom. fun, despite the world's worst tour guide (whiny voice, unprofessional dress, and so dumb she actually thought there were 48 states).

friday: errands and the arrival of J and his gal M from boston. yay!

saturday: gave J and M a tour of philly. first we did cheesesteaks at pat's, then off to the art museum to run up the steps a'la rocky. we wandered around the museum grounds for a bit, then home to nap before heading out to karaoke. karaoke was SUPPOSED to be at moriarty's, but because i am an idiot i didn't call ahead and see if it was changed due to the holiday weekend. it was... so kemidra, notshakespeare and the rest of us headed to "westy's", a total smoky townie bar in another part of the city. it was... colorful. but a fun time. :)

the line for pat's and geno's went out into the street!


J&M with their "wiz wit" steaks


getting attacked by the spider statue at the museum


karaoke at westy's


this, um, "colorful" regular at the bar, who was wearing chaps and a dirty-saying t-shirt that i shall not describe here... he also did magic tricks, and made balloon animals for all the gals at our table.


a corsage for M...


a heart/swan thingie for me...


and for kemidra, a poodle humping a heart.


sunday, J, M and i went to the king of prussia mall to bum around for the afternoon... then back home for a quick nap (we're so old), sushi dinner in the city, and jeremym's new year's eve bash.

midnight pudding in the shower!


and in the tub!


and during the yankee swap, the happiest dog in the world snuggled in with his peeps.

Um, a "swan"?

Unless it's a swan in a box...

oh, dood! you're sexualizing my swan! bad bad bad...

Yea, I don't see the swan...

[occhi-cinesi.livejournal.com]

I don't. Not that if it were something other than a swan, that it shouldn't be in a heart or anything... but a swan? You might be mouthing the words, "thank you" instead? ;)

those bubble things on either side are balloon wings that go along the sides. it's totally a swan. *chuckle*

balloon wings. totally. (I think I dated a guy once with yellow balloon wings. But I suggested antibiotics and it totally cleared up.). ;) [humming, "One. You cut a hole in the box. Two. You put..."]

I cannot resist your "swan" and shower pudding. I found you through Saucyhelp, and have added you. Hope you don't mind!
