Thank God for Fridays!

Well not God per say, but yay for Friday!

Yesterday was overall a nice day, I was busy at work, Joe was in a class all day (as he has been all week) afterwards we went out to eat *I didn't have to cook* lol Came home walked the dog, made a tentative puppy play date, it was a good day. Gella & I go home to get ready for bed and we pop in Knocked Up because I've heard it's funny .. Joe comes to watch with us and we all pretend like we are going to bed. It was probably the funniest evening we've had in bed and I don't mean that in a weird sex way, but we were laughing & joking ... I was sitting there thinking to myself, this is what marriage is. Funny nights in bed, watching a movie. Ahh! lol

Hump Day!

Oh that makes me laugh ... I remember saying that to an International friend (through myspace of course) and they were quite confused, thought I meant Hump in a sexual way ..

So today is gorgeous and I know you wish you were here! The air is crisp, clean and clear and the temperature is quite comfortable, the ground is still wet from the rain last night but the sun is out and it's just lovely right now! Ah yes I am enjoying the Sicilian weather :)

Because we are boring I have nothing to actually report ... I'm considering doing a food like blog, if I can manage to cook something in the evenings.

Have a good Wednesday bloggers!

And the rain has started

This is the last Tuesday of September and the weather has changed here dramatically! In the evenings the skies have looked threatening but never actual rain, but last night it did. It is grey and rainy today and I'm wearing a sweater and I bet you I can get a candy bar from that vending machine outside and it wouldn't be melted today hehe

Now although I'm welcoming this change in weather I hope that there are as few car accidents as possible! I saw some crazy drivers out there, please slow down!

I'm sitting here drinking my warm cappuccino - Happy Tuesday all!

**for the sake of the kids (who are promising to be very cute in their Halloween costumes) I am hoping that this isn't the beginning of winter, because winter here is only rain.

Oh for the love of sweet sweet chocolate

As I sit here I am biting into a Snickers bar, getting a sugar high, I am happy. I had a lovely weekend and the sun is still shining :)

Wishing you all a great Monday!

For those of you in the UK, I hope it stops raining!!

You know it's hot out when ...

You go to get a candy bar from the vending machine outside .. and everything chocolate is MELTED!

made me laugh so I thought I'd share :)

Phew!

And the heat continues! It was HOT today!

We had a great weekend! Saturday we went exploring and bought a few too many lovely ceramic pieces, I am thrilled! We apparently spent too much because our house looks quite a bit different! But it was lovely, the breeze was cool and the sun was out there were even leaves falling .. it couldn't have been a lovelier couple of days! For some strange reason I didn't have my camera, but there was this little area with the great trees with red leaves and a bunch of old men sitting on the benches just chatting on a lazy Saturday, it seemed so perfect.

Yesterday Joe & I put in a flower bed, I'll take pictures and post them, it's still sparse but cute. We have certainly created a nice little home for ourselves :) It finally feels cozy

We have some guests coming in November, but I am hoping for more .. otherwise I might just sell one of our extra beds (we currently have two, a double & a full!)

Joe isn't home tonight but Gella & I are enjoying ourselves, have a great evening everyone!


Oooh I almost forgot, I finally took a picture .. this is what I look at all day long!

That is the amazing Mt. Etna!

Happy Monday!!

I am in an unusually good mood today, probably because I'm feeling SO much better! yay for vitamins because last week sucked! This Wednesday is my birthday and I joked last night with Joe about remaining 24 .. he laughed so I guess I can't. Of course I'm kidding, but I think I'm going to invest in a better eye cream for good measure :P

I am loving my job, I work with a great guy (just the two of us in the office regularly) and I get to help people out, so it's pretty awesome!

Joe doesn't know it and it's actually safe to post this since my own husband doesn't check my blog, but I'm going to try to plan a trip in October I just *hope* it'll all work out, but if I can't do a bigger trip I want to do at least two or three weekend tours in the next 4 weekends. We'll see.

I can officially *(and finally) say I am comfortable driving on these crazy Italian roads, especially since I've been doing it for the past few weeks alone. Watch out Americans I can AND WILL pass you with the best of the Italians! haha

Here's a silly shot of me hopping a fence, short story we couldn't figure how to get out so I climbed over! Yes mom & dad I still climb fences!

Here's me on top

and climbing down

Thank you Abby for taking those!

Wednesday already?

Oh how I love weekday Holidays! yay for Labor Day ..

Well Joe is working apparently 17 hour days this week, which means I have lots of time to myself at home. Yesterday I washed the car, albeit not very well since it got dark so quickly on me and it was still so warm the water dried too quickly, but they are clean spots darn it!

Last night Mt. Etna erupted
