Starting on July 7th, I will be working as an Administrative Coordinator for the Ophthalmology Department with the University of Pennsylvania. I'm pretty stoked not to have to work with any more of my lame coworkers. Plus, I'm hoping to get some free contacts... If not, at least I'll learn how to spell ophthalmology.
Last weekend, for Memorial Day, Granny came to visit the wonder that is Philadelphia. When she said that she wanted to visit, she told us that she wanted to experience what life with Bart and Katie was like. Well, in case some of you have missed the majority of our posts, life with Bart and Katie consists of EATING--the true Philadelphia way--often and a lot. Here is what we took her to do:
This is when we took her to a local favorite: Pat's King of Steaks. You guessed it, a cheesesteak place (we also had cheese fries). 5000 calories and a three-hour rest later, we went out for water (pronounced "wudder") ice. See below:
The following day after attending our branch we thought it appropriate to eat some delicious (READ: DELICIOUS) stir fry and more importantly pig out on egg rolls*.
*Note: all of the Asian food was homemade. Not by Asians, by Bart and Katie.
As you can see, we had a wonderful visit. We are so glad that Granny came to stay with us and are really looking forward to seeing her over Thanksgiving where we will inevitably stuff ourselves full of Louisiana fare. Stay tuned for future posts where Bart experiences Luby's Cafeteria, sopapias, catfish, donuts, seafood, etc. Oh, and Thanksgiving dinner and birthday cake. Should be a full (hehehe) two days...
The South Philadelphia Pennsport neighborhood just got a little nicer.... Because we moved in.
We haven't hung anything on the walls and our basement is still a disaster, but we have already gotten our first little mouse. We named her (or him or shim) Denise after one of Katie's coworkers who steals any food that's been left out and poops all over the place (not a joke -- she stinks up the bathrooms on every floor every day twice a day).
Listen carefully in the video. You may notice a distinct lack of bickering, drunken neighbors upstairs...because upstairs is ours, too!
[Awesome video originally placed here, but ruined by Blogger. Sorry. Stay tuned.]
That's it for now. We will most definitely be posting something cool after the incredible weekend we have planned. Mmmmm.... cheesesteaks. (And Granny).
