New Years Day

One good thing about not drinking is I don't have to deal with the brutal hangovers!  I'm sure there are more than a few today. *s*  Happy 2012 to all.

New Years Eve

Ya, Happy New Year and all that jazz.  *sigh*

Merry Christmas!

It has finally arrived...hope everyone celebrating has a fantastic day filled with fun, family or friends...and most of all.  Love.  *s*

Happy Green Beer Day!

It's St. Patrick's Day today. Are you wearing green? What a silly ritual really. I don't have anything GREEN to wear to work but I am wearing some olive coloured khaki’s. That'll have to do. Not that I had to...I don't think my co-workers will be pinching anyone or giving the bumps for those who are not wearing green. I think that only happens in Elementary School...or at least, that's what I remember of the day. It's funny though. Nothing was discussed at work about this day and a lot of us are wearing green or a variation of it. I find it interesting that most people do think about this day and its tradition. Could just be the green beer their anticipating though!!!

Here is my last year's post on this day. Pretty cool indeed!

*Whew*

One more work day before the holiday break. *whew*

A Walk Before The Fireworks!

Just got back from an hour long walk around the river. There were tons of people out and about looking for their perfect spot to view the fireworks that happen around 11pm. I'm going to watch them at a friends place here in the building...but on the west side. Can't see them from our deck unfortunately. I snagged a picture of the waterfalls that run off the High Level bridge. They do that once a year and it looked pretty cool in person. The other picture is a police boat keeping an eye on things. There were alot of boats on the water as well. That would be a great seat to have!

Happy Canada Day!

Hope everyone has a GREAT day and you get to see some fireworks! Looks like it's going to be another scorcher here in the city. Keep cool. Peace out Peeps.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This picture is of the Chicago River. Each year for St. Patrick's Day they add dye to the water the day before. I learned that they actually use orange dye as it mixes with the natural colour in the water to make it a nice fluorescent green. It lasts for a day. Now, that would be a sight to see! I guess if you forgot to wear green that day you could avoid some "pinches" by jumping in the water.
