I'll also post a lot of the extra photos I haven't posted before and some that didn't make it into the scrapbook.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144340263824025872.post-54289286746229240532013-02-13T09:43:00.003-05:002013-02-13T09:43:58.028-05:00Finishing Up<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know I haven't been posting, but that's because I've been finishing up the package to go home with Peanut Butter! I'm sending him back to California tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't want to give away any of the surprises I have for RaraAvis, so no photos today. (I'll post photos of everything after she receives.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Admittedly, it will be weird to not have PB sitting in my camera case in my purse all the time anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm excited for the next round, though... Whoever visits me over the summer is going to be accompanying me to PARIS!!!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144340263824025872.post-36028212869955660742013-01-26T11:52:00.000-05:002013-01-26T13:52:29.313-05:00SNOW!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two very exciting things... First, Anana is home from California! And he brought lots of awesome treats with him, because RaraAvis is amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also... SNOW! Snow is a Big Deal here in Virginia Beach. We might get one snow a year, and it's usually somewhere in the one to two inch range, but we flip the heck out over it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's off our balcony at the apartment. (I put down a washcloth so they wouldn't get wet!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anana is wearing his ADORABLE new hat, boots, and gloves (except one fell off, oops) made by RaraAvis, plus a cute little pin from the Golden Gate Bridge!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tonight after work, I plan to help them make little snowmen and snow angels! We might even have a snowball fight... </span></div>

We went to the Aquarium!!! I've been wanting to take PB there since he arrived in October! It's where Fiance and I are getting married next March, and it's one of my favorite places in the world. Only one photo here, because I'm putting together the scrapbook and most of them are going in there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I posted a photo of a Megalodon tooth on the thread on Craftster, so I thought I'd post something living here:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEXTUwMG5XpBDnPs-2j3rQ6rhfVc1i3MEwkfFiMbTx7-gLMHWJTHxI6y59LIOPg7idJ2g1Rwb3xl4OFFrP3pbn58KC_xS9S65rBCpJ7Ggl4YIKsxsFcmGaehE86WzoLBTdWbzsrjuZpQ/s1600/SDC11896.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEXTUwMG5XpBDnPs-2j3rQ6rhfVc1i3MEwkfFiMbTx7-gLMHWJTHxI6y59LIOPg7idJ2g1Rwb3xl4OFFrP3pbn58KC_xS9S65rBCpJ7Ggl4YIKsxsFcmGaehE86WzoLBTdWbzsrjuZpQ/s320/SDC11896.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That is a lookdown, which used to be the logo for the Aquarium. (Now it's a sea turtle.) They're very shiny and very flat. You can find them all over the Atlantic coasts, from Canada to Uruguay (including the Gulf of Mexico). People don't eat them, for the most part; they're mostly used for aquariums because they're a little unusual-looking and do fairly well in captivity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a teeny one that is living in the tank next to the touch tank, where they keep urchins and horseshoe crabs and things like that. When they get bigger, I think they move to the Chesapeake Bay tank next door, which had lookdowns bigger than my face. (This one is probably the size of my palm.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have a few more adventures to go, because the send deadline has been extended to Valentine's Day. I'm hoping PB will get to see some snow, but we haven't had any yet. Plus, on Wednesday, we're going down to the beach. I realized last night that we had NO oceanfront pictures! We'll fix that, though.</span></div>

Which is hard, because it's fun to share! (I'll be posting everything after he makes it home, so that I can see the photos and stories whenever I want!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So here's a photo just so you guys know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth and taken PB with me... We were reading <i>V for Vendetta</i> by Alan Moore:</span><br />

There are a lot of historic sites in and near Virginia Beach, including a handful of historic houses. Lynnhaven House was built in the late 1700s by a former ship builder from Norfolk who wanted to live on a plantation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We couldn't take many photos, but the house is really beautiful. The man who built it had a great eye for aesthetics, and including lots of unnecessary - but pretty - elements that were purely ornamental.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is Peanut Butter outside the front door:</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had to stop in the middle of that project because I have had a migraine since yesterday morning, and I had to bend over a lot to line things up, and on top of that, there is something complicated that I expected to be easy. So I'll try again tomorrow, after we go on an exciting adventure to a secret destination (or two)!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144340263824025872.post-83512760319733015872012-11-15T09:06:00.002-05:002012-11-15T09:06:52.978-05:00Cold Weather<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Winter can never decide when it's ready around here. I mean, I know the first official day of winter isn't until December 21st. But in Hampton Roads (and many other places; I know we aren't that unique) you get a handful of days of summer and a handful of days of winter all throughout the fall. Fall isn't so much its own unique season as it is a melange of summer and winter elements that refuse to mix properly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That said, Peanut Butter needed a scarf to ward off the chillies on the wintry days.</span><br />
