My full-time job has been soooo effed-up the past couple of weeks. We've been running out of work alot. It happens all year long normally --- the amount of work coming in goes in cycles: it's either Feast or Famine. Lately it has been Famine time --- which in one way is good: they don't give a shit about my "stats" so they're not counting how many calls I'm making. That means that I can Vox more and get away with it! (yay!) But in another way, it sucks: if the work gets scarce enough, they send everybody home without pay. (boo --- hiss)

So while I'm still here today I wanted to share some more of my pictures (from my newly acquired cranky camera!) with you guys.

Here are a couple of pictures from where me and Wembley (and Sarah & Deniro) live!

Welcome!

This first picture is 1/2 of my apartment building. It's the main door, but we live allllll the way in the back, in the middle, around the corner. But here's our building front & entrance:

This is part of the hallway back to our apartment. I like this picture because it reminds me of the hallway in "The Shining"...heh-heh...in real life, my apartment hallway is neither flooded with blood nor haunted in any way.

Once you're down the NOT haunted hallway, go around the corner and voila! Here's my apartment door with the cute little Spring wreath that I got the other month:

Remember me telling you that our horrible old teeny tiny kitchen was completely renovated? Here's a picture of part of our beautiful new kitchen --- which we still love & really really appreciate. (the stars that you see hanging in the foreground are from Ikea --- Elle gave them to me for Christmas one year, and they're hanging in the large doorway opening into the kitchen --- they light up and they're beautiful & sparkley at night.)

Now here's me walking down our front sidewalk. Philadelphia is a beautiful old historical city (in places...) and our street still has some brick sidewalks and large granite stepping blocks where people used to step down from their coaches onto them. The main street is paved but still has cobblestones on each side section.

There's a house next to my apartment building and they have a big front yard full of garden. I liked these next pictures because it was the first Spring flowers making their appearance there a couple of weeks ago. (yay Spring!)

At the corner of my block, there is a beautiful old church. One of the first things that I loved about my apartment when I moved there, was: every Sunday morning at either 10:00 or 11:00 (depending on their worship schedule) the bell tolls out the hour. It's always so beautiful on a warm summer day when my windows are open, to hear their deep rich peals ringing out solemnly. Sometimes, Amber and I or Deniro and I have been able to be on the corner right before they start ringing --- then you can actually watch the large bell swinging back and forth up in the open bell tower.
Here's the church --- and the bell tower --- and the main entrance, plus the beautiful bunch of daffodils that line the walk to the main entrance.

That's all the pics for now --- thanks for stopping by and sharing them with me!

Have a great rest of your week, you guys.
