busy bee

The last two weeks have been BUSY! I feel.. no wait I know that we have traveled all over the state of Pennsylvania. Last week Jefflyn (who works with me in our NY location) went with me to DuBois to visit our other office. I had a ton of things that needed to get done and I thought it would be a great idea for her to see how busy this location got in just one year!!!


We had a great time, us girls... Jess, Jodi and Jefflyn (wow thats a lot of J's) all went out for drinks after work and ended up at a little karaoke night at the Ski Lodge! Well being that all of us are originally from Texas, minus Jodi who is a born and raised local. We decided to do a little song that represents TX best! Sooooo, ALL MY EX'S LIVE IN TEXAS, it was!!!!! ha
Oh yes, we got up on the stage and sang our little cowgirl hearts out to some George Straight (love him). I did get a few seconds on video although now I am regretting that!

This week Kevin and I took a road trip from NY to Pittsburgh to look at prospects for a 3rd Ft. Worth Pipe yard! Yes we have become quite the opportunist. It was a 3 day trip that felt like 5. By then end of trip my little rear end was numb from ridding in the car so much. But we did stop and have a little fun along the way.

Being the food addict that I am, I saw on the food channel that one of the top 10 best sandwich shops originated in Pittsburgh. It is called Primanti Brothers, and it was every bit as good as they say! Look at this sandwich loaded high with fries (that's a common northern thing, they put fries on salads, sandwiches, you name it) slaw, meat, and soft yummy bread. It was delicious!

I was all but in heaven until the lady brought me the check to sign. Now I know that we are in Pittsburgh, and I am FULLY aware that their precious Steelers are going to Superbowl....but I am NOT a Steelers fan. Although everyone else around me is, and keeps telling me to jump on the waggon! Even Kevin has converted. Jeezsh

But this dang near ruined my moment. ..... Yep, they are even writing on their silverware!

We also got to eat a nice dinner at the Grand Concourse.  This is the original rail station that ran through Pittsburg.  It sits right on the water and overlooks downtown.  Its beautiful and is still the original structure including the old railcar seats.  It was delicious seafood as well!  So all in all I was a happy camper.  We got a lot of business done (keep your fingers crossed) and we had a mini vacay!

 

Unfortunately now, I'm knee deep in laundry....
