This night light has been “burnt out” for months. I just have not replaced it (or even unplugged it) since, well, I’m lazy. But, look! It’s working!!!!

…then lookee here! High school!

Right after graduation:

And sophomore year:

…here you are!

This photo was taken Freshman year, at a Winter Dance at Stockwell Hall at the University of Michigan. I’m the one in red — the center of attention, as always. 🙂 Courtney Donahue lived just down the hall from me. The boy is the brother of Jason, who was dating our friend and co-hallmate, Marianne.

Speaking of dances, I LOVE to dance. Love, love, love it! Just thought I would toss that out there. 🙂

We have gotten even more snow and ice and stuff. Yuk. As a Floridian (heehee), I am repelled. However, I am also morbidly fascinated by the large icicles hanging off my house. I did at one point attempt to knock them down, but the evil little buggers just fell into a window. I was happy that the window did not break, but I do have a good size hole in the screen now. That ended (most of) my icicle-knocking-down fun. My pride and joy is the icicle which is only about 8 inches from touching the ground — FROM MY ROOF! That’s gotta win a medal or something! 🙂

And so, for your viewing pleasure, I bring you:

And, yes, those are my Christmas lights. I was wondering if they might put out enough heat to start melting the icicles in the front of the house, since it looks like there is ice piling up on the roof a bit, and that can’t be good.

And here is my front door…about 1/4 to 1/3 obscured by the Ice Picks of Doom — obviously, this is not the entrance that I use daily.

Yeah, yeah, my porch light is still orange — from Halloween 2007. I love how there is a little corridor between the house and the Wall of Ice. And aren’t the Christmas lights all pretty and sparkly? 🙂

And finally, my pride and joy, the Big Huge Icicle. I like how these ones in back are a little concave, probably from the wind while they were being formed. 🙂

…what I look like waking up in the morning. 🙂

But, even more amusing is what I looked like the morning after Clam and Canuck’s wedding! Because I went to bed with all that hairspray and curls and stuff and slept on it! Then, WENT TO MASS! In PUBLIC! Bwhahahahahah!

Yes, these are photos of me taken moments after waking up. I did not touch my hair before taking them. That is total bedhead. I did brush it out a little and clip some back before attending Mass, however. 🙂
