Back again....and this time to show off my last x-mas present from 2005...i just received it in the mail and i LOVE it!!! it is an antarctic scrimshaw cue ball...a woman who has spent much time on the ice, tina white, does these and is a fantastic artist...i just got mine last week and had to show it off...there is a link to see more of tina's work on the right side of my blog where different websites are listed...you really should see what she does...it is one of a kind and extremely beautiful!!! enjoy the shots... the one above is the portion of the cue ball where the continent has been etched...isn't it incredible...and of course i asked for the j.r.r tolkien quote..."not all who wander are lost"...which i pretty much live my life by :)

here's a closer look at the quote...plus you can just see the south pole dome and "pole" peeking out from below the quote...i love this cue ball :)

this is a great shot of an adelie penguin and scott's hut...the woman is amazing...doncha think!

and last, but not least...one of my favorite pictures ever taken while i was on the ice...the adelies in a line..one up, the next on its belly, the next up on its feet and the last down on its belly...i love this shot...and it looks fantabulous on my cue ball....so again...go check out tina's scrimshaw work...she is an incredible artisan...buy her stuff...thanks again tina...what a cue ball!!!!!

Hell Has Frozen Over!!!!

4/2/06
Can you believe its APRIL already!!!! i cannot believe how fast time is moving these days...so overwhelming...well, you might wonder from my title what the heck i am talking about concerning hell and all that...a friend of mine from college got married...it was the theme of the group that went to the wedding...the boston crew was in full force for the wedding...and most of the crew was without spouses and children...can you say CRAZY weekend!!! and the first night of it was over st paddy's day...1st off...jason busch was the man of the weekend...and his lovely wife katie is GREAT!!!! jason is one lucky man...katie rocks!!!! the wedding itself was beautiful and well orchestrated and well attended and a whole lotta FUN!!! from the golf ball that threatened to interrupt the vows...to the dancing to jimmy buffett...to everyone at the wedding referring to our table as the boston "drinking" crowd...we were mostly women who came to honor jason and katie from our good ole days in beantown...and what a time we had :) below are some shots from the excellent event....enjoy them...we sure had a great time during them....more updates soon...

CONGRATULATIONS A MILLION TIMES OVER TO JASON AND KATIE!!!!!

This first shot is from St Patrick's Day in a bar where we were the youngest of patrons....and we did our six rounds of shots to keep everyone happy...but Jason, the man laughing in the middle, also known as the groom was home relatively early and definitely was not plastered...who knows what kellie is saying or why she is pointing, but i bet it has something to do with hell and it freezin over :)

I love this shot of katie and jason and their yummy cake from the wedding, i realize this does not show off her gown, which was beautiful...but i just love their faces in this one...i am sure if i asked, you could put a caption to this shot....yahoo!!!!

This is a shot of the boston crew and the man of the hour....otherwise known as jason's harem...everyone is showing off their new duds...and can you believe that weather :) it was incredible...and perfect for a wedding...and i have to say, i was very happy to be the only woman wearing flats...my feet and legs were happy as well the next day...unlike some folks'...tee-hee...

this was the cute 23-year-old boy bartender...his name was pasquale..."damn you pasquale"...he realized early on in the night that we were the women he needed to keep happy...as you can see from another round of shots the boy made...what a funny, funny time....

AGAIN..HERE'S TO KATIE AND JASON...YAHOO!!!
