So my new blog is over at neprepster.blogspot.com

If you care to see it.

It’s still a work in progress though.

Please excuse all the changes and sillyness that is going on.

I am in the process of an overhaul. Things have changed and I am changing this blog to reflect that.

I will be moving to a different URL.

When it is all set I will announce it here. This blog is fun, when I actually write, but it needs to be less work and more fun.

I haven’t decided if I’m leaving wordpress for blogger or not, but I want more freedom to edit my blog and not have to pay to make small changes to the coding of my blog.

I plan to attempt to transfer past articles to the new blog, but any old features I was doing, thing I love Thursday, the 365 project, etc are subject to change.

Also, I will say this only once, yes Bear, you were right, I have failed at the current 365 project.

Try not to rub it in.

To Mike, see?

I’ve finally written a post like you’ve been bugging me to do for the past two or so weeks.

Happy now?

To everyone else, I’m sorry about the very long absence.

I hope to see you over at me new location (yet to be determined).

If anyone has any suggestions of something you would like to see me write about/photograph, any questions, or just general comments at all, please, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or e-mail me at (with no spaces) tru is moore (at) gmail (dot) com. I would love to hear what you have to say.

Things I Love Thursday: Jan 20

I have a lot of love to catch up on so this post may be a bit long and some may be a bit out of date.

So Over Due

I am SOO over due for a post.

I’m sorry for the lack of postage, life caught up to me.

So while I desperately try to get all sorted out I present to you a list.

All this has happened since my last post:

♥Bear come to visit right before Christmas

♥Just found out it will be closed for another week

♥Took two winter intensive classes (a 15week college class in 3 weeks)

♥Avoided a “divorce” with Tiny Plane’s “dad” (story soon I promise, and no I’m not dating him)

♥Merry Christmas and Happy New year

♥Made some resolutions that I probably won’t keep

That’s all I can think of for now, but I promise to be better about posting from now on.

Playing Catch Up

I am so way over due in updating my 365 project.

So here goes.

You been warned, this post involves:

♣ lots of photos

♣ a mini rant

♣ and an introduction to part of my family

well here goes.

 

day 72.

I was down in the Stonington Borough when I spotted this.

What can I say?

I like squirrels.

day 71.

Spotted in a window in Mystic.

These little elves are part of what I love about the Christmas season.

day 70.

This is a sticker on the dumpster for work.

Sorry the picture is so dark.

I only ever see it at night and my cell doesn’t seem to have a flash.

day 69.

These bottles were on the back table at work with some plastic champagne glasses.

Tiny Plane had to take a picture with them.

His friends had to get in on the photo action too.

Sadly his friends don’t have names yet.

I open to suggestions as I  have no ideas as of yet.

day 68.

My most recently finished project.

I think it will be part of my mom’s Christmas present.

Don’t worry, she doesn’t read this so she won’t find out

day 67.

If I hadn’t already made Jay’s Christmas present I would totally get this for her.

day 66.

Please excuse the badly chipped nail lacquer.

Isn’t the smiley face cute?

I love people who come and chat with me while I’m working.

One particular gentleman doodled this happy little face for me.

day 65.

This ash tray of sorts makes me giggle every time I see it.

For those of you who care, this is next to the building that has the sign in the day 72 pic.

Yes, I spend a lot of time there.

day 64.

So I quit my job at Forever21.

Sad I know, but other things had come along.

When I when to pick up my paycheck I saw this on the way out.

Haha, I was never the teacher’s pet in school, but I would totally wear it anyway.

day 63.

These adorable bunnies were in the pet store.

I unfortunately wasn’t there looking for a pet.

I was buying live crickets for Fifi’s toad, eww.

day 62.

Also eww.

This is the warning label on the deli slicer where I work.

This is also the reason why I have only used it once.

It scares me.

day 61.

I work (several places) in Mystic.

So I frequently wander in the stores.

Look what I found, a squirrel bag!

Awww.

day 60.

I braved Black Friday in Washington DC.

I almost got this shirt, but it wasn’t worth the hour-long wait in line.

day 59.

Ahh Thanksgiving.

The girls on the left and right are two of my sisters.

Jay is on the left and Fifi is on the right.

The girl in the middle is one of our cousins,  H-Dawg.

(They are underage so I don’t really want to post their names but this is an easy way to tell them apart.)

(I have a kinda big family.)

Every year we go down to their house just outside of DC.

It’s packed.

One room for the girls (there’s 5 of us).

One room for the boys (3 total).

A room for my parents (2 people).

And a room for my Aunt and Uncle ( also 2 people).

That’s 12 so far, plus my Grandma and Papa come for the dinner.

They aren’t related to my cousins, but they live near by and are invited as long as my Grandma brings pie.

That’s 14 people around the dinner table.

It’s so much fun and so noisy, until the food is served, then you can hear a pin drop.

day 58.

My Aunt found these ans said they would be perfect for a college dinner party.

Oh, how I love her.

day 57.

I saw these pretty cards in a bookstore in Mystic.

It shows where and I work and the store next to it.

And our drawbridge.

It’s super old and still works.

It goes up 20 minutes to the hour, every hour all summer long.

During the “off-season” it goes up on request, but only if it’s a big snazzy boat.

I’m only kidding about the snazzy part, it just seems like it.

There’s a bridge operator in that little white house on the far right at all times.

day 56.

I wanted to wear this for Thanksgiving and in general.

The fashion police (aka my sisters Jay and Fifi) did not agree.

What do you all think?

My sisters didn’t like, well all of it.

I feel like something is off but I’m not sure what.

day 55.

Found this on my floor.

I have no idea where it came from.

All I know is it’s not a real coin.

Maybe I’ll make a necklace from it.

I still need a Christmas present for my brother…

day 54.

Yay ghost-like reflections.

This was posted on the door to my work.

(Yea, I work a lot.)

(And get bored easily.)

(I mean come on, who really wants ice cream at 8 at night in the winter? /end rant)

Any way, this looked cool and I was gonna see if I could participate.

Then I realized that I was gonna be in DC.

Oh well.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, all caught up.

Also, I tried to make my family as un-confusing as possible.

It may be easy to understand and just confusing to me.

Like I said, I don’t want to use their names because they are my younger siblings and cousins.

I don’t want people creeping on them, not that you guys would.

It’s just in case some creepy guy starts reading my blog or whatever.

So I’ve resorted to nicknames.

It’s ok, they don’t know I have a blog.

They won’t know my plans for their presents or what nicknames I give them.

If I remember I’ll do a proper family post.

 

I promise I’ll stop rambling now.

Tiny Plane’s Debut

Today I’m happy to present the premier adventure of Tiny Plane.

(A.K.A. this is what happens when I’m bored at work by myself)

You guys have already been introduced to Tiny Plane here.

To provide a little more back ground, Tiny Plane is from California.

He hitched a ride back with my friend Dan and has been adventuring with me since.

Now, without further ado, I present

No Tiny Plane.

No monster for you.

That’s for me.

That would be like jet fuel for you.

What are you doing over by the espresso machine Tiny Plane?

You made that for me?

Aww thanks Tiny Plane.

I hope you didn’t drink any or we’ll both be up all night.

Careful Tiny Plane, that tray is still kinda hot.

They have to cool off before we can put them in the jars.

Yep they are cool enough now, thanks little dude.

Thanks for getting them down for me.

Wow, they really needed to be filled didn’t they?

Wow a customer!

You ring them up while I get their order, ok?

Tiny Plane, stop being judgmental.

Some people actually like that.

You don’t, but others do.

Especially the British.

And they are awesome.

Why are you in the boss’s desk?

Oh, you are looking for the right key.

What is the key supposed to go to?

Ahh, gotta replace the batteries for the paper towel dispenser.

Really?

Spit balls?

This is only ok if I get to join in.

I have to clean up and close soon anyway.

Yes, that is my sundae.

I’m going to eat it then I’ll clean.

It’s mint chocolate chunk ice cream with caramel sauce and gummy bears.

I love it.

We are totally not procrastinating.

Not at all.

Please stop that.

I’m cleaning, finally and that bell is irritating.

Don’t fall in!

It’s gross and it would be hard to find you.

Not to mention you would ruin all the soup.

The very last chore.

Count up all the money and put it in the safe.

Bye Tiny Plane!

See you around.
