Fun With Camera Phones
Posted By Kristabella on April 23, 2009
I was actually going to post this (or something even more lame) last night, but then I went to a party at a friend’s house and proceeded to overstay my welcome and finish all the wine in the house. I’m an awesome party guest that way. It’s like I have this weird beacon-like homing device that will not let me go home when I know I am sitting in the vicinity of an open bottle of wine.
You can imagine how much fun I am in church during Communion.
Anyway, I was recently going through my photos on my iPhone and I forgot about some of them. And I thought “what better way to commemorate the last night before I have a mortgage than fun with photos!”
This first one is from the Minneapolis airport when I went up there a few weeks ago. If you were up early and following me on Twitter, you probably heard me talking about the band that was on my plane. They were very granola-y and wearing orange and black blazers so of course I figured it was the Oregon State band. Because there is NOTHING to do in Corvallis. Therefore weird people go there. Oh, and Michelle Obama’s brother coaches there.
Turns out, it was the Princeton band. And people in Rhode Island New Jersey (thanks -R-!), at least people in Rhode Island New Jersey that go to Princeton and join the band, are weird. And look like they don’t shower. And the Princeton band has a song. They sang it to us on the plane. EARLY in the morning. I know what you’re thinking “so they sang the fight song? Who cares?” NO. THEY SANG THE PRINCETON BAND SONG. Something that went something like “we are the Princeton band. We don’t shower or shave. We’re kind of smelly. We like stickers and buttons on our blazers. La dee da dee.”
Something like that.
Oh yeah, and they were wearing barbershop quartet hats.

Our next photo is of a funeral home I saw on my way home one day.
And then I started singing the Gwen Stefani song. So I hope that I don’t ever have to go here for a funeral because singing Hollaback Girl at a wake would probably be a little inappropriate.
(Side note: Dear family members, since I don’t have a will, let this serve as my final wishes. This is the funeral home I want to service my dead body in the case of my untimely passing.)

The last photo is of the Hooters by my work. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it.
And then I noticed today that the other side of the sign is IN Spanish and translates to “This sign is always in Spanish.”
All that Mexican food I’ve consumed has really come in handy for my ninja-like Spanish translating skills.
Now I must go pack. Because tomorrow afternoon, I will be a homeowner! SQUEEEE! And by pack, I mean shove food into my face and watch TV.

Awesome on all three photos. The second one made me laugh outloud, which is impressive at this early hour and with only one cup of coffee in me.
GOOD LUCK TODAY, you sassy homeowner!

Packing sucks.
I know people who complain about UNPACKING, but that’s the exciting part! You get to put all of your stuff in a brand new spot and make it look pretty!

I love those pics and the stories that go with them! My funny funeral home story (weird to type those words together) is that, when my husband & I started dating, I went to his grandmother’s funeral. I had to park waaay in the back and saw a car that clearly belonged to the funeral home owner. How did I know this? Because the licence plater, and I am not joking about this, was, “ICDDPPL”.
CONGRATS ON THE CONDO!!!!!
Aaand, by ‘licence plater’, I mean ‘licence plate’.
For some reason (lack of coffee? early hour?) when you were leading up to the funeral home picture I thought of the bar by Resurrection Cemetery and thought the photo was going to be of that.
I will not acknowledge you needing to be waked at that funeral home. Ick!
HAPPY HOMEOWNER DAY!!!!!! Love you!
Princeton is in NJ, not RI.
I think most college band members are pretty weird, no matter where they go to school.

I went to Princeton and can verify that the band is pretty weird. But make no mistake, their uniforms are awesome! Michelle Obama, and incidentally her brother Craig, who also went to Princeton, concur.
I totally want to use the Hollabach funeral home when my life comes to an end.
Happy home ownership!

Have fun pretending to pack. I hate packing. This is what moms, SIL, and aunts are for, right?

Congrats on the new HOME!
For the first year when I paid my mortgage, I would say Yay we get to live here another month and not eat PBJ’s every day.
Have fun unpacking it is so much fun when you OWN!
Totally started singing that Gwen Stefani song when I saw that sign – love it!

Love the 2nd pic!
Aren’t iphones the best? for many reasons, not the least of which being able to take craptastic photos to share with the interwebs.
Good luck with your closing/packing/moving!

Like everyone at the funeral home isn’t singing Stefani all the time! Walking down the streets of New York I felt compelled to sing Stayin’ Alive…I was there for a week — New York loved me…
Yay for new home!

Oh hey, your idea of packing matches my idea of housekeeping.

I’m so excited for you, I’m on my third vodka/lemonade. And yes, it took several attempts to get that sentence written.
Rees last blog post..Just don’t expect thousands of dollars worth of giveaways.
If I live long enough to attend the unfortunate event that will be your funeral, I’ll let those who are anaware know that you “weren’t no hollerbach girl” . . . . that at least you weren’t before the wake, anyway.
Congrats again on your own place- I look forward to visiting you there in the very near future.
So, I’m NOT the only one singing Hollaback Girl when I drive past that funeral home. I must inform my husband immediately since he claims I am the only person in Chicago who makes that association.
Congrats on the new condo!
