New Business Card!

I created a new business card for the Birds I make! I'm hoping that they will be ready and in hand by the time Art Shop happens.

My friend Eric

This is my friend Eric.

When I was in College at Philadelphia University, I rode my bike about 8 miles downtown to the bike shop where I worked. In the winter when it was cold outside, I would stay at my friend Eric & Sean's apt for the weekend so I wouldn't have to ride back in first thing in the morning. This became a bit of a routine for me. Since it was the weekend, the three of us would often go out and have a good time. Most often on First Friday. Or there would be a party...somewhere. This would lead to long nights with good friends.
This particular evening was Sean's birthday. Perhaps his 21st. I don't remember for sure or not...Anyway, we went out and had a wonderful time.

Me, Sean, Matt, Eric, Matt's lady & Rug.

I first met Sean at a show, we would dance and skank the night away. Then we started hanging out outside of shows, eventually I met Eric. I hung out with these guys for about a year and a half. Eric would often wait for me to get off work and we would go to the closest WaWa or corner store to get dinner. He even made me Grilled PB & J once! I felt very honored since he never made food...ever. When Eric and I met he had cancer and went through some chemo which made him loose all his hair, and he became very skeletal. We never talked about it though, I liked to think that that made it seem normal for him. Shortly after New Year's 2005 I stopped hanging out at Sean and Eric's. Andy had moved from Montana and it was somewhat inappropriate to be spending the night with two boys. We hung out maybe once or twice more with Eric, the last time he met up with Andy and I at Sugar Mom's, a bar in Old City that we would often go to.

Two years ago today Eric passed away from Cancer. I'm glad for the time I got to spend with Eric. He was my friend.

Wedding Dress Shopping Suprise

This weekend I had planned a sleepover at Reehsa's. All my best girls were going to be there, Reesha, Genell, Lisa & Jackie. What I wasn't planning on was my deer sweet fiance to be in cahoots with my best friend from Cottey Jen! Andy came to pick the ladies up from work and from behind a parked ambulance came Jen! What a flash! I didn't really even see her because I was in her arms. My legs weren't even on the ground for quite a while. Man she is strong! Surprise in hand we had a lovely evening. Paul Reesha's boyfriend made us a wonderful dinner. Pot pies, a pumpkin and yogurt soup, and a beet salad, oh and Pumpkin Pie. The even was complete with 2 movies "Bride Wars" and "27 Dresses." The next day the plan was to go wedding dress shopping.

After a huge breakfast of course! Wouldn't you like to see what I got. Nope not for a while! But I did try on about 500 dresses. As of now I think I have one picked out, but I need a night to sleep on it.

The ladies were very helpfull!

Sunday Jen and I had a bit of time to enjoy the day. Our friend Ted gave us a great tour of the city! Ted lived with Andy and I for about a year and Ted Jen and I all worked at FLBC together. He is an excellent tour guide. I tipped him with some of his mail that had come to the house.

It was time for my friend and I to part ways. She was here for far too brief.

Next time I hope to be in on the planning of her visit.

Good bye Jen!
