Scottie's pops is in town for a conference so I've had him all to myself for the last two days exploring the neighborhood and making him drink good local beer. :) 

Here's us at Full Plate. Our favorite. They shared a broccoli salad, Scott got the meat loaf and Big Kev got the shrimp Po'Boy. I enjoyed my water. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 

 HAHA! I love the expressions. Pennsylvania law does not let you buy a simple 6 or 12 pack of beer at the distributor (and that's the only place close around the corner) so Scott had Kev haul a bottled 24 half way around the neighborhood so they could enjoy some refreshing White Ale. I wanted one so badly! 

Few more weeks.

 now, this place. Paesano's. Big Kev and I checked it out. We have heard from many a local that it is THE place for sandwiches. No lie... its amazing. He got a goat burger that I literally wanted to scarf down in 1 second flat. When my stomach is back to being nails I will go here and order one of everything. It looked, smelled and presented that great. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, already dreaming about it.

We love having visitors and trying new restaurants out. The weather is warm, the people are out and Philly is finally starting to grow on me more. Life is Good.

Is it just me or does "Extreme Couponing" seem extremely WASTEFUL. Who really needs a "stockpile" that big for years and years? If its really an addiction, still coupon but donate it to a homeless shelter or church (some people do) but come on... do you really need to buy 140 boxes of pasta and 80 candy bars at one time JUST because you can? Give me a break -- and I don't mean a kit kat.

thoughts by carrie.

"How do two people make so much sound?" The inevitable question most people ask when they see The Kills live for the first time. Like ME! I was in awe over their weighty beats and shotgun sound. Lead singer Allison Mosshart is enchanting on stage with her haunting voice and copious (and often audience wanting to mimic) soft headbanging -if that's possible.

I suggest seeing if they come to your town. check out their myspace. Newest album Blood Pressure. Most notable anthem song, "DNA".

In a sentence, I LOVED their show. 

the TLA in Philly is a sweet place to see a show too.

A no frills rock house with great sound and no bad place to stand and jam.

Oh and Philly fashion... I love you. 

(next time I will take pics of the crowd)

My extremely handsome fiance playing for his club team here in Philly. 

He makes me the happiest and hits home runs! 

I am

obsessed

with anything 

House of Harlow. 

(as Ive said many times on this blog)

per usual, nice work, Nicole Richie.

I could seriously post pics all day I love it so much. You should too.

My walks around my neighborhood... 

 The white horse I claim as mine most days. He's the sweetest big guy you've ever met and has a big tums full of fresh hay. I still need to think of a name for him.

 view down my floral block. (sans trash)

 just liked this.

who wouldn't want to ride down a PIZZA PARTY SLIDE?!

 As I have mentioned before, Philly is a big wheat paste sort of town. Everyone just puts up random peices of art on empty walls or abandoned buildings. I think its a great way to fill space with oddities and interesting thoughts. This one really got my attention since it just said what everyone else wants the permission to do.

 Hope you enjoyed my mini walk.

Don't forget about my GIVEAWAY here! 

My etsy shop is here, too.
