Today was my first day working at my new job. To celebrate, we went to a Temple University football game at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles play.

The Owls were playing the Ohio University Bobcats and a former student of Jeremy's (Egg), who works for OU, got us and some other friends of ours sideline passes. Only catch was, it was on the OU sideline.

Not a problem since I lived in Athens, Ohio for two years awhile back. I love Ohio University and was not really rooting for either team (although we probably should have been rooting for Temple). Ssshhh...

Although it was FREEEEEZING outside, we still had a fun time on the sidelines hanging out with old friends and catching up with Egg. The stadium was nice (I doubt I will ever be on the sidelines during an Eagles game) and we got to hang out in the press room, eat free food and go in the press box where Ohio Radio was covering the game.

Only downside was I brought my little camera. I could hve gotten some amazing shots with my Rebel and zoom lens. Also, since we were on the OU side, we missed Bill Cosby, who came out at the start of the game and walked along the sidelines saying hi to everyone on the TEMPLE side. Sigh. Story of my life.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month...

Roofus - the OU Bobcat, who the Temple fans lovingly knicknamed "Roofus the Doofus"

There's Dr Huxtable on the jumbotron.

This guy's job for ESPN is just to carry around the cables all night.

We must be good luck. The Phillies are going to the World Series!

Right after we moved to Miami, the Marlins went to the World Series and won. I never liked the Marlins though. I do however, like the Phillies. Go Phils!

After a long 16 mile training run, J and I decided we needed to refuel.

We took Andy and Glenna down to South Philly so they could get an authentic taste of the city and we could gain back the 1,800 calories we burned.

I LOVE DSW!!!

And here in Philly they have the most BEEE-UU-TEE-FUL DSW I have ever seen over in the King of Prussia Mall. This place is huge and awesome and has the best selection of any DSW I have been to yet.

Today I ventured out because I needed some new shoes for any possible jobs that may come my way. Normally, people buy clothes for jobs after they get paid. I am not normal. At least not when I walk into DSW.

But all in all, I did pretty well. Three pairs of shoes for under $100. All can be worn to work (well, the boots are really more for play, but I can wear them with some brown slacks) Not too shabby.

First pair:

I needed a FLAT pair of black shoes to wear with slacks for when I need to walk to the train and around the city. Something I can wear to work. Right now when I go on interviews, I wear my flip flops and keep my heels in my purse until I get there. Very "Working Girl" circa 1988. Also a pain in the as%. Here is what I found.

Very cute and comfortable.

Next, I found these shoes in red and I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of red shoes. The price was right and the heel was low, I can definitely wear them to walk to the train and in the city. They are really comfy.

Lastly, these boots are made for walking and kicking butt! They are soooooooooo pretty. Not completely for work, but I can definitely wear them to work if I want to. (LOL, what work?) The heel is pretty low AND they were boots for $34!!! COME ON!!!

They look good with pants...

and without!

I'm in love!

Hey man, it's rainin'
It's rainin' outside man
Aw, don't worry 'bout that
Everything's gonna be everything
We'll get into somethin' real nice you know
Sit back and groove on a rainy day
Yeah
Yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove.

Rainy day, dream away
Ah let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day.

Well I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at them on the run
The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up 'n'
Even the ducks can groove rain bathin' in the park side pool
And I'm leanin' out my window sill diggin' ev'rything
And ah and you too.

Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day

I'm 33 years old today. That seems a lot older than 32 for some reason.
