dear secco~
You rocked my late-afternoon Monday lunch world:
Thanks!
Fried chickpeas? I don’t even like chickpeas and I could eat these things by the bucket full.
Good food is pretty much the best thing ever.

new blushing bride ginny, if you are reading this…
…I’m sorry for the delayed wedding post! I can’t wait to share here about what an amazing time I had on your special day. I’ve had some good surprises and work pop up this week, so I am one busy woman. I had such a blast that I don’t want to miss any details, so I will work on the doozy of a good time story this weekend when I have some more time.
Thank you again for having me and making me feel like part of your crew of wonderful friends. It really was a weekend to be remembered.
I hope your first few days of wedded bliss have been everything you ever dreamed of!

what’s that saying again…timing is everything?
The past 5 days have been a whirlwind of unexpected fun and opportunity.
Enough said for now. Oh yeah- that and WAHOO! I swear when you stop trying so hard things just happen.

mean stinks
I just read about this Secret campaign. I totally dig it. Doesn’t it feel better to say something nice about someone instead of something mean? Give it a try here.

a teaser from my wedding crashing
…and this was just the cocktail reception before all the rest of the festivities happened.
Full post to come in the next 2 days. (It’s going to be a doozie…I took over a hundred photos!) I had the most fun I have had at an event in I don’t know how long, ate absurd amounts of delectable food, met people that could not have been nicer, teared up at the Dad of bride’s speech, and boogied the night away. To say it was a crazy blast of fun and marathon wedding celebrating is a severe understatement. I am still flying high from what a beautiful day it was with 200 perfect strangers.
While I complete this Philly and NYC long whirlwind weekend, I’ll be off computer spending time and and on to human spending time collecting more great stories to bring back here, so hold tight.
See ya soon!

today i am a wedding crasher
No lie.
Totally unplanned, but just got last minute invite to complete stranger, friend-of-a-friends wedding.
I just did a sprint through Rittenhouse Square speed shopping like I never have before to find something to wear.
This is going to be super fun. I love talking to strangers, especially 200 of them during all day and night festivities.
I’ll be bringing you loads of photos and stories tomorrow so check back!
heading north
Nothing makes me feel more alive or hopeful that all things are possible than being on the road.

2 girls, 2 cities, 4 days
It’s very rare that I am not the driver, but this one is someone else’s trip- I am just a tag along. I’m glad I have kept myself nuzzled nicely on the “Ask Diane! She’ll go!” list. (I once got to go to two games of the world series with killer seats because I am all about jumping in when an adventure is offered.)
This morning a friend and I head off for a few days. First stop; The City of Brotherly Love, Second; The city so nice, they named it twice. Can we talk about how excited I am? Years ago I spent significant time in Philly and I have said since then, that it is a very underestimated city…love it there. New York? Well, you all know my thing about New York. I haven’t been since the kick off of Alaska or Bust last July. There has been a part of my heart there since that time. I can’t wait to feel that energy again.
ROAD TRIP!
You know you’ll be getting good stories from this one so stay tuned!
2 guys all about some green
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, of course I had to find some Guinness related thing. Lucky me I met Kevin; The guy with the ever-so convenient bottle opener on his hat. I introduce you to Kevin with the great hat:
Looks like Kevin won’t have any problem opening his beers tonight.
The other gent I’d like you to meet is Erin. Yes, very Irish E-R-I-N:
Erin is from the states. I met him when we lived in the same city. He left to go live in Dublin several years ago and absolutely loves it. I always look forward his annual St. Patrick’s Day email and photo. This is the one that came today:
“…from the Ring of Kerry, Co Kerry…next stop, the USA! Thinking of you and yours this sunny St. Patrick’s Day morning in Ireland. Wear your green with pride and enjoy the day!”
Cheers Kevin and Erin! Thanks for being the Blue Lollipop Road, St. Patrick’s Day mascots.
