happy halloweenie







tonight is mischief night
growing up we used to tear up the streets of upper providence with toilet paper, soap, and eggs

mrs. turberville always supported the mischievous behaviors and provided some gold dial soap
sometimes the 30th was better than halloween

egg throwing became an outdoor event well beyond mischief night
my aim was right on...i could peg a windshield or a review mirror
i think this led to precise shots on goal while playing lacrosse in high school and college

i have not been in a costume or wig yet this year...not good
no eastern state penitentiary
no goin to the bishop's collar in wigs
nothing spooky
nothing bizarre
boring

i miss my crazy friend nicole
she took halloween very seriously
the above cat candle on my mantle is from her
she moved to virginia

spent sunday with the rents
they are en route to florida today
elmo is not riding shot gun
my mom thought that he may bring too much attention to them while traveling as they want a safe trip south

we watched the eagles yesterday
my dad calls them the boo birds
he decapitated his mcnabb bobble head
so we had a headless donavan atop the flat screen

in other news:
jenny and i have survived our first week
it still feels like a sleepover
we're tasting some reds
haven't agreed on a house red yet
the firestone syrah is too hard to find
as well as the ironberry

simone is adjusting
she hasn't spit at jenny in 2 days
hissing only

we're playing cards...pp c'mon over!

tonight's special: chicken parm, tossed salad

we're watchin some borrowed movies from the library:

1. external sunshine- absolutely terrible

2. footballers wives (first season) -not bad,
the newcomer from italia is a hottie

3. red (foreign film) - haven't watched yet

that's about it...
some november travel plans are in the works

me and my new roomie



jenny from the block officially moved in this wknd
we celebrated a little bit on saturday night at picasso with a bottle of veuve clicquot
thanks jojo!
the media jazz fest was goin on and the streets of media were packed
jojo got into a scuffle with a young 20-something fellow outside of slacky's
i'm not sure how it all started but he called her a slut and she slugged him in the face
his friends restrained him while i ran over and grabbed her
she was ready to take him
cnn did not have the camera
i could have won "blogger of the year" with the state street slap

anyway...as long as the violence is not at 100 rutgers

simone is back home from extended summer camp at my parents
i've come to realize that she is bipolar with a personality disorder

stop over anytime for some house bubbles

i forgot to mention that we ran into pinf's mom and bro
bunny and flash

mums the word









fall is here and i love it
meesh hosted an arbonne skin care soiree last night
mrs. missie ryan was the arbonne business builder

re-balled and re-nutted and off to the eagles game today...sshhh...it's a secret...maybe a postsecret

penncrest mini reunion




met up with some class of '87 gals the other night at kildares
kelly, missy, and stephanie levin
i haven't seen stephanie levin since senior week when she was
shackin up with mikey ryan in my senior week house
they were "active"
i recall spotting used condoms for the first time with my virginal eyes
i was so scared
(i say "my" senior week house cause my sister signed the lease, took us to circle liquor and was our chaperone the first night which is a whole nother post)

stephanie levin hasn't changed a bit
she was my first jewish friend
i used to steal her dreidels and eat her matzah crackers
she is now stephanie o'donnell and lives in west chester

the four of us laughed and reminisced about penncrest
kelly worked in the office for mr. ron fertel
she used to smoke in his office
on tuesdays she would go to cvs in the granite run mall to pick up poker chips and cards for his evening poker game

she made daily calls down to mrs. grace kaufuss's class to have lynn lawless report to the office
together they'd head to the cafeteria early to get the "cool" table for lunch

i didn't realize how much pull she had in the office
she erased absentee days from attendance records
i could have used a little help there...

i think i might dig out some old pics and do a senior week post

we're getting together again in november if anyone wants to come out for penncrest stories
ted i know you'll want to be there...

18 months & up



my mom is 70
my dad is 72
they just bought the 10th anniversary edition of tickle me elmo "TMX"
it laughs, rocks back and forth, shakes, laughs, kicks it's feet,
rolls around, flips over and bangs hand on floor

for 40 bucks and 6 batteries
it makes my dad smile
it makes my mom hysterical
it makes me wonder about their happiness
it makes me wonder about their health
and how many more years i get to be with them
