TV Week.

2009-05-11T14:01:00.001-07:00

This week there's alot of good stuff coming to an end. I'm bummed!! I'm gonna let you know what I'll be watching:

Sunday night: The Celebrity Apprentice it was great, I'm psyched Joan won. I never thought I liked her, but I have a whole new respect for her. I had to replay Donald tell Annie she was fired like 10 times because the look on her face was great, she thought she was gonna win.
Desperate Housewives: good episode, I thought it was the finale but it's next week, should be a good one and it's 2 hours!

Monday: Dancing with the Stars semi finals...I still can't believe Lil Kim was let go!!! She was great to watch and I like Derek too. The Bull rider or the gymnast must go.
The Hills - Heidi and Spencer are just good TV. No, I'm no 13 years old.

Tuesday: The Real Housewives of New York Reunion Special, Apparently there's a part One and Two. I can't wait to see the fights! I'm counting down the minutes!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey: I also can.not.wait. for this one, these women are probably the most ridiculous bunch of all seasons, it looks great. There better be a fist fight.

Wednesday: Lost, enough said, I can't wait. I think it's a 2 hour episode. I don't know why it has lost viewers, it's great, they are answering lots of questions.
Real World Road Rules Challenge, Once again, I'm not 13 years old, I like this show, I mean they show the drama at the beginning, but I actually like the challenges, and there's always a good chance The Soup will make fun of it. They are really a bunch of idiots in a house together that drink too much and fight.Thursday: My name is Earle, I love this show. It's always hilarious but has a cute meaning behind it. The characters are just freaking hilarious, Randy and Joy have definitely made me laugh out loud.
The Office - Another show I can laugh out loud. Dwight might be my favorite, of course Michael Scott is fantastic too. Creed can usually make me laugh out loud too.
**new show on at 11pm, Southern Belles Louisville on the SoapNet. I looks like a Real Housewives type show.

Friday and Saturday....Nothing I watch on a daily basis.
Sunday -Desperate Housewives finale.

I'm gonna have to figure out my Summer schedule. There's "I'm a celebrity get me outta here" show i'll have to check that out, oooh and the Bachelorette!

Enjoy your tv watching this week! What will you be watching?

OMG, an unattractive person can sing?

2009-04-24T10:34:00.000-07:00

Ok, am I the only one getting sick of Susan Boyle, the Scottish singing sensation? I'm not sick of her, well, because I don't know her. I'm sick of the publicity she is getting. Now, I just read she got a new haircut. Who cares? What is the big deal?
So, she can sing. Are they making a big deal because she's not attractive and can sing? What the hell? Is it shocking that unattractive people can sing?
Oh well, good for her, she's getting attention for her singing and she doesn't look like Beyonce, Brittany, Rihanna, or Lady GaGa. I wish her luck, I just wish people would stop making a big deal that unattractive people can have talent.

Get Loud and Clear.

2009-04-21T18:30:00.000-07:00

This is the next best commercial since the Snuggie..............

https://www.getloudandclear.com/ver50/index.asp

I don't know why sporting events are always mentioned, Enjoy!

2009-04-02T21:28:00.000-07:00

So it's that time of year, it's my birthday!! Yay, that's always fun!

I don't have a job, I don't have kids, I dont't have a lucrative 401k, i have a low self esteem about myself right now but, guess what I DO have:

1. A wonderful husband. Wonderful can't explain what he is,he makes me laugh, he is my best friend, my cheerleader,my teacher, my Everything!!!!!!

2. Lisa - my best friend, she is beautiful, smart, really funny, and tells it like it is. She don't fool around. And also my partner for fine dining.

3. My parents.. They really shouldn't be number 3...they are the ones who taught me how to be me! And thankfully, they made me into be a pretty darned good person, I think! They taught me alot. One was to never judge people, and also to never screw over you friends for a boyfriend. Because your friends will be there longer than a boyfriend. And they were right! I was always annoyed about my friends in high school that ALWAYS had to have a boyfriend. Well, I was never a "boyfriend" girl.

Another thing I learned from my parents is: "Well, do your friends like him?" And guess what it means ALOT to me to date a man that my friends like because, my friends ARE my family. Well thank Goodness, Karl was "friend approved".I guess I was too.
Karl has a ton of friends that approve of me that I love too!

I think i have babbled enough......I love my husband, my parents and my friends! Happy Birthday to Me!

Uh oh.. car died.

2009-02-27T07:54:00.000-08:00

My friend growing up had a wonderful grandmother that we called "Nan". We would stay at her house, raid her fridge for snacks and play in the funky basement. I don't mean to sound insensitive but, the day came and she had passed. My whole family knew her and my mom is a good friend of her daughter, so obviously, we would travel down to Baltimore, MD to attend the sad event.

We went to the cemetary, which I really hate the most, it's the saddest part, the final goodbye.

My family and I went on our way back to the car, a brown chevy impala station wagon that we named the Family Truckster... like in Vacation.

So, like at any funeral we drove to the cemetary with the lights on, well, my father left the lights on during the ceremony. So what happens? The car battery is dead...in a cemetary, what a coincidence? My dad is the type of person who will not rush out of somewhere, like the last person who stays in the movie theater and let's the crowd leave.

So there we were, my Mom, Dad, Sister and I and the deceased in a cemetary!

We had living company though, the hearse and the driver. So, my dad got out of the car and said in his South Philly accent...."Hay-yo pal, can ya gimme a jump?" Meanwhile, my sister and I were hiding on the floor in the backseat laughing hysterically and embarassed. So yes, the Hearse had to jumpstart the family truckster in the cemetary...our station wagon and hearse were probably about the same size.

Well, we made it to the luncheon afterward, we walked in with our heads down, embarassed because we were late. My friend's brother asked in front of everyone, "What happened? Did you get lost?" My dad has a history of getting lost... we said, "Nope, worse".
After he pleaded with us to get an answer we finally told him and the entire family started laughing. So, for the rest of the lunch, everyone kept saying, "Uh oh, car died..better call a hearse!"

Blind Date

2009-01-25T10:51:00.000-08:00

So this blog comes from the Mama Kat homework assignment and by popular request, this is my side of the blind date story.

I was living in the city, and got a ride home for Thanksgiving from Los's friend who was dating my roomate at the time. As I was going into my parent's house, he said, "my friend lives around here" I said oh, what high school? what's his name? Then i said, I know everyone in Delco! Well, I didn't know my future husband.

So, my roomate and I met her boyfriend and Los at a bar on Janurary 5th. We had the kinda awkward first conversation that went into..."So, how bout that John McCain?" I'm shocked I didnt roll my eyes, turn on my heel, and walk out...I don't talk politics, especially over martinis on a Friday night. So, we hung out and had some drinks, then on to the next bar......

As we walked out of the bar, we were waiting for our friends and I got bored, so i decided to "card" people as they came into the bar. I saw a few peoples id's and said, "Thanks, have a good night." Los looked at me like I was crazy or something.

We then got to the North Star Bar....one of my favorite bands was playing and of course i was dancing like and idiot. By this time, my roomate got completely wasted and her boyfriend had to take her home, so I was left with Los, who was a complete gentleman. I don't remember too much of the conversation that night because of the crowded bar. I did, however invite him back to my place......

His friend would stay over my apartment all the time but that night since the bar was close to his apartment he took his drunken girlfriend there. So, non-thinking me, decides to ask Los over to my apt. where I think his friend would be and we could all hang out late night. We get to my apartment and nobody was there, so I entertained him with my silly antics for a while and then I offered to let him stay!! I told him we could sleep head to foot but then our genitals are still in the same area...yeah, thats from seinfeld, but so true. He of course said No, and after a while of sitting and talking he left. I woke up the next morning and realized he had to get all the way to the other side of the city to get his car....in the snow!

So, after that crazy blind date night he called one Sunday afternoon and talked for hours then went on our, as i call it, second 1st date, out for sushi (the first sushi place was closed due to a family emergency, what are the odds?) then to a bar where he asked me if he could kiss me and knocked over all the barstools in a row, and that's when I knew I was gonna marry my lovely, lovely Los!

The Bachelor-spoiler

2009-01-19T18:15:00.000-08:00

Yes, i'm watching The Bachelor...I need to start counting the candles, fires, and how many times the word, "Amazing" is used. This poor girl below did not get a rose, I think I noticed the look on Jason's face when they were having a romantic dinner and she goes, "I like Bears" then talked about bears and forgot what they were talking about....wooops. Oh well, goodbye Nat!

Happy New Year!

2009-01-03T06:17:00.000-08:00

HAPPY 2009! It's been an interesting year, I hope 2009 will be a great year for everyone!

I get pretty bummed when the holidays are over, I don't mind taking down decorations and putting some of the stuff away, but the tree undecorating is the worst, I have so much fun putting it up...having my friends over for snacks and champagne, I guess thats why its so sad to take it down. I may have mentioned we are redoing our basement, so the house has had some random boxes and b.s. laying around...so dont get me wrong, i 'd like to get everything back to normal, but the tree undecorating is the saddest. Do you agree?

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were a blast, as usual! NYE, we went to Los's brother and wife's house. I played darts and beer pong. Barbra and I did turrible in beer pong and darts..we really need to work on our game Babs! OH, we also drank out of Das Boot...everyone stands in a circle and drinks out of the a big glass boot...it's a tradition we do at all parties. We also request guilty pleasure songs to Kurt all month long and have a dance party. I think my favorite one right now is "Don't stop me now" by Queen and then of course, It's raining men and "All night long" by Lionel Richie...which is Los's.

Then there is New Years Day!! Babs and I go to the unofficial 2 street Mummer's parade, which is a blast! There are tons of people walking around with drinks, music, and costumes. We ended up in the bars a little more than we should have...it was either that or hypothermia-It was ridiculously cold out this year. Then of course, we ended up eating a bunch of pork sandwiches from the crock pot, which were delicious, thanks babs! So that was my New Years.

Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

2008-12-21T16:37:00.000-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Ahh, it's that time of year!

I am currently unemployed, so i have a lot of free time to look for jobs, run errands, make dinner and clean. Los will be off for the holidays, so atleast I have my honey to hang out with, It gets a lil boring to be by yourself, Although, i have my mom and dad - but thats got to be in small doses, I love them, but i have lilttle patience and I've been snappy since I lost my job.

Here are a few things we're gonna be doing over the upcoming days....

Go to the movies - We want to see The Wrestler and Milk. We have to find out where they are playing, i think they are "Ritz" type movies.
Go to Produce Junction, my new favorite store! Prepare for Christmas Dinner I am hosting for 14 people.
Go the the Della Polla's Christmas Party, woo hoo! We havent been in a few years, but it's always fun in there and the decorations looks cute.

Bowl! However, the friends we are going with is dating someone who has bowled like 17 perfect games in his life, shouldnt he be a pro? I once bowled a 6, I am a little better now, and it's fun.
Lisa's Christmas Party! YAY! It's always fun and we do alot to prepare for it!

So Happy Holidays Everyone!! Be thankful for your jobs and hopefully I will have one in 2009!

Happy Thanksgiving! Leftover Turkey

2008-11-23T17:27:00.000-08:00

I better get on the eliptical...the eating season begins! Thanksgiving is Thursday - I can't believe it! I'm pretty picky about turkey dinners, i'm picky about how the stuffing is done, gravy kinda grosses me out unless I make it, but I like the actual turkey and mashed potatoes and veggies. I really like string bean casserole too. I will be some kind of broccoli and cheese thing to Los's parents house, where we just had turkey on Wednesday night...everything except the cauliflower! I think if I began to host Thanksgiving, I would make everything wednesday and have the delicious opened face sandwiches on Thursday, that's the best part! So anyway, if i can get my hands on some white meat - i think i'll make Hot Browns. The Hot Brown is some delicious concoction that The Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY came up with in the 1920's. It's toast, turkey, tomatoes, bornay sauce (cheezy bechamel) and yes, bacon. Los, please make extra bacon. So....what are you doing with your leftover turkey?

Thanks Septa

2008-11-19T07:38:00.000-08:00

My train was 40 minutes late this morning. I had my winter coat on and and kind of a light sweater and before I left my house, I thought, maybe I should put another sweater on, thank god I did. I stood outside for about 25 mins, then decided to go in to the place where you buy tickets, which is the size of a shoebox, and that was standing room only, then, we were told to go to the other side of the track and wait even longer. I then got on the train with numb feet and had to stand on a ridicuolously packed train to move a little, then come to a complete standstill. I finally got to the city. I never thought i'd be so happy to see the subway train.

Whew

2008-11-15T21:49:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness, its been a long time. I think i finally caught my breath. I am in advertising and worked on "campaigns" i'm sure you can guess what they were. I worked late, then got home ate dinner, then back on the computer, so i really didnt really want to post a blog. So, it gets better..my company has declared chapter 11, like most companies these days, so we've known that for a while, then we went into chapter 7, what the hell is that? And this was announced when i could hardly get into the coference room because i was too bizzy. Well the company is still in business, and got on to Los's insurance, so thats good.
I am preparing for a lay off, so it is a lil scary BUT, i'm still working - I should know something in a week. AND, i was smart a put an emergency fund away. I saw something on the news about how you should have a 6 month nest egg away and I did it, but its tough to have to dip in, I'd rather buy a Louie! Any way, if i didnt have Los by my side and his encouraging comments, and beer on thursdays, i dont know what i would do. Any way, if you do have a job, please do your best to support yourself and your family! oh, and if you're hiring..wink, wink!hahhaaahh!!

For all 2 of you that read this....my creative juices have not been flowing. I've been really busy with work, so if i get online, i'm working. I don't know whats going on with the celebrities,other people's lives via blogs, or christmas gift ideas. When i'm not working, Los and I are re-doing the basement, which is gonna be great when we're done, but the spackling and sanding is tedious and time consuming, then priming and painting, which will be started this weekend. So anyway - there's my quick update and GO PHILS!!!

Reality TV

2008-09-08T08:50:00.000-07:00

My husband, Los, makes fun of the tv I watch. So last night, I was laying in bed bothering him while he was trying to get to sleep. Then we had the following conversation:

ME: Oh, I have a half hour til my show comes on.

LOS: What Show?

ME: Sunset Tan

LOS: What's that?

ME: It's a show about a tanning salon.

LOS: WHAT?!?!?!?!? You have GOT to be kidding me.

He almost fell out of bed. I guess that is why we watch tv in different rooms!

Happy Birthday!

I've been bad about working out this week! This should give me some inspiration.

Oldie but Goodie

2008-07-11T06:23:00.000-07:00

I was making a comment on Los's blog about Delaware County, I referred to it as The land of pizza, nifty fifty's, cheese steaks and isops. So I thought of this list I saw on an email a long time ago...it's hilarious. I could add some stuff and take some stuff away. It definitley leans toward the O'hara, Ridley,Interboro, Springfield crowd....Enchoy!

TOP 20 SIGNS YOU'RE FROM DELAWARE COUNTY (PA)

Someone who apparently knows Delco
Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 2:37:54 PM by Tribune7

1. You've done extensive landscaping work during the summers.
2. You get annoyed when the snobs you work with in the King of Prussia area have no idea what a "twin home" or a "student loan" is.
3. It took you 5+ years to graduate from a state school (chances are you attended a satellite campus with the word DELCO in the title for the first two years).
4. You believe "bar crawls" a.k.a., a "Pike Hike" is something that is normal when you're well past your early twenties.
5. You constantly complain about going to the same bars and seeing the same people, yet when you venture somewhere "outside your realm", you huddle in the corner with your friends and talk about how everyone in this place is a tool/geek/spaz/etc.
6. You have a DUI.
7. Your father has mutliple DUI's.
8. Your source of "world news" is the DELCO TIMES....yes, that's right, the paper that had a snapshot from the Marple Newtown / Ridley field hockey game on the front cover the day after the Tsunami hit.
9. You know what a "day load" is....and better yet...... you know how to put one on and make it until 2 a.m.
10. You're sick and tired of explaining to people that you're not too old for Sea Isle. Don't apologize for the fact that you have no desire to go to Avalon and Stone Harbor and begin drinking at a "reasonable hour." I'll see you at the "No Shower" happy hour or catch you on the next Erin Express. If you don't what either of those are, you shouldn't be reading this list .
11. Not only does the following sentence make sense to you, it describes your favorite day of the year: "Today I'm taking the trolley from the Trophy Tavern down to the El to go to the parade." Say that sentence to one of those Episcopal/St. Joe's Prep/Malvern grads you work with and get ready for the most confused look you've ever seen.
12. You're a bartender (or you may be a 26 yr. old barBACK waiting for your "big break")
13. You have shared a bedroom at your parent's house with a sibling at a weird age (we'll ballpark this at 16 and above. very weird.)
14. You can't accept the fact that it's not normal to go out drinking hard on weeknights past the age of 22. If you don't believe me on this one, go to Maggie O'Neill's on any random Sunday night. Even though Monday is considered the busiest day of the week for normal people, this place looks like a god damn Mardi Gras.
15. The ratio of bars to bookstores in you neighborhood is 47:1.....not quite Bryn Mawr, huh?
16. You don't spend Thankgiving day with your family, but rather start drinking in the morning on your way to see your grade school football team play. Congratulations, you're not only an alcoholic, but your glory days go back to grade school. Even Springsteen wouldn't sing about this pathetic display.
17. You walked to high school. Tell this to the same person you talked to about reason #1 and watch their eyes cross as they squeeze the keys to their Saab.
18. You have no idea what's at the end of the Blue Route (does it even end?)
19. While some refer to traveling as "backpacking through Europe", your idea is more along the lines of going to Cancun about a decade to late when you're 27 and hanging onto your youth by the skin of your teeth.
20. When describing someone else from Delco, you say their name, state that you know them, say they're a good guy/girl, and then say their high school or the parish they're from. example, "yeah, John Doe, he's a good guy, Bonner/St. Bernie's guy, coaches football for (fill in Delco school here) and bartends at (fill in Delco bar here).

It's funny, I used to live in South Philly with BarbraPeapod, and alot of this stuff happens down there too. I always say delco is just an extention of Souffilly.

So, while i'm hangin out at my local bar this evening, after I consume my Zac's Burger (gotta go to the Eddystone location), I will do a shot in honor of Delco! And maybe have a late night cold isop.

Up late, watchin movies....

2008-07-05T21:59:00.000-07:00

How awesome was she in "Steel Magnolias"?

The new table pic

2008-06-30T16:36:00.000-07:00

Ahh, finally a picture of the new table and my lovely honey, with his fruity drink and pizza.

Didn't Fit.

2008-06-29T16:27:00.000-07:00

So Los was ever so thoughtful and offered to buy me a table and chairs for outside on our deck. I was so happy! So our plan was to grocery shop, then take a ride down the tax free shopping state of delaware. Maybe even go to Total Wine to pick up stuff to make frosty drinks on a very hot day.

Well, we lucked out. The table I saw weeks ago was reduced to an even lower price. woo hoo! So we found a guy who worked there, he was really nice and went and got it out of the back. There were only like 3 left and there were alot of other people looking at it.

The guy brought it out, we got the last 4 director chairs and off we went to pay. We went out to the parking lot and we tried to get it in the car with the seats down, didnt fit. Then we tried to put it in the back seat, didnt fit. Then I said, why don't we take it out of the box. We did, didnt fit.

Our car is pretty big, too!

All we could think, was who could we call? Ray Ray lives too far, Kurt and Trish live close, but we know she had a college reunion or something going on. Then los called Nick and he didn't answer.

So, we decided it would be best that los would get my car. So first, I was going to keep the table top on the flatbed. Now we had taken it out of the box already so styrofoam is blowing all over the parking lot, I collected all the pieces, put it on the cart and stood in the parking space. Well, people started to get angry when they saw the good parking spot and there I was with a table top. So I decided to wheel it back through the parking lot and atleast sit on the bench in front of the store. I figured i could atleast people watch and get a tan.

The weather was strange saturday, it was sunny but rained a few times. So great, it started to rain. So I sat there on the bench with my table, sunglasses on, in the rain. All I could do was laugh. Then rain stopped and the sun was back out and i think i got a little tan. Atleast i dried fast.

So thankfully, after 45 mins. Los returned with my car. We loaded it in with no problem, but i had to hold the hatch back down with a rope for the 20 min ride home.

When i got in the car, i noticed we left the box on the flatbed...i said to los, "omg, i don't care, get in the car!!"

We passed the total wine store that we had planned to go to, but we were like oh well, that'll have to be another day. I knew we had beer and vodka at home, which i was realllly in the mood for after that fiasco.

But the table was easy to put together and looks really cute! Ugh, what a day! Needless to say, we sat on our new chairs and enjoyed yummy frosty vodka drinks and pizza! I will post pictures of the table later.

New Post! TV sux

2008-06-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while! I will post some pics from the wedding in Brigantine this weekend, I just have to get around to it.

It's "Operation Organization" at my house this week, probably because there is NOTHING on TV. I've seen all the HGTV shows, and I haven't really seen anything that I want to DVR, with the exception of Diary of a Call girl on Showtime and some show about the Amish kids on Rumspringa - that's when the Amish let their kids go hang out at Hershey Park and smoke and drink. Hmm, the more I think about it, I can't wait to watch that show.

I watched season 1 of Californication on Sunday, which is a Showtime series too. It's awesome! Hank Moody is the man!

Anyway back to "Operation Organization" - I need a shoe organizer that works. Los has his shoes on a wooden cd rack, I swear, it's probably the best one, it doesnt collapse like the metal ones you buy at target, bb&b, etc. it's just too high. I just dont like seeing the shoes when I walk into my bedroom. Any suggestions on a good one that doesnt fall apart when you put a shoe on it?

Oh YAY! I did it, i found the pics on my broken camera! Yeah, it was an interesting day. Needless to say, we'll really have to think about going to another exhibit. First of all, the parking - there were a bunch of idiots running the garage. Then there was the problem with our tickets that we called ahead for, then the gross dude that was fighting with the security guards because He lost HIS kids. Whatta dummy. Other than that, here are some pictures from the exhibit.

I can't believe I haven't posted anything about celebrity news. I figure there are enough sites for that, so instead, I will post 2 celebrity pics and tell me what you think. BTW, the first picture is Natalie Portman - the picture is a little fuzzy. The second picture is well, you know who.

In honor of the premier of Living Lohan.

Weekend stuff / BBQ

2008-05-18T13:17:00.000-07:00

Since I never really update my blog, I just ramble on about my weekend....

Friday morning I got to wake up a little later because we refinanced, so the notary was coming at 8am. I worked out, drank coffee, watched the news - good stuff. It was pouring outside, I didn't mind though, because my lovely hubby was driving me into work. So we ran to the car and noticed the seat was soaking wet, then I realized Los left the moonroof open all night. There was about 3 inches of water in the cup holder. We wiped everything up and off to work with a wet butt.

I ended up catching an early train home. I know that Los goes to his mom's house on Fridays to drop off his shirts to be laundered,pressed and returned by saturday, pick up his twenty bucks, and eat something (yea, she does all that, along with mowing the lawn). So anyway, I called to let los know the I got the early train and if he could pick me up at 5:20-5:25. I said it was ok if he was late because the train was late, but for some reason the train ended up being early, wierd. So I arrived at the station at 5:18, oh yea, it was still raining, but I stood there and read my magazine. There was a group of older women across the street, with a sign that said "Women in black", whatever the heck that means, I'm sure they were laughing at me. So I waited. Then the next train came, the one that I was orignally supposed to be on, and still no Los. Now, I couldn't get mad beause it was my own fault for being early. So I waited for about a half hour in the rain, good times. So I finaly get in the car, trying to smile, and Los tells me he was eating McDonalds and corn on the cob and didn't leave til 530. Obviously, I was thinking, you were you in a warm house feedin your corn hole, while I was standing in the rain?!?!? After I jokingly yelled, we bothe started laughing.

So I calmed down, warmed up, and got ready for the Beef & Beer we were going to. Our friends came over and Los decided to drive. We were on our way down Mac Dade Blvd, and someone was yelling over to us, so Ray-Ray rolled down the window down and the guy was like, "Hey your trunk is open!" I think Los wanted to turn his car into a fishbowl or something. Yes, it was still raining.

So we went to the Beef&Beer at Briarcliff Hall which was once home to the ECW (yeah, thats rasslin) It was given by the Upper Darby police dept for Karl's friend Arty. He had his colon removed due to cancer. I'm gonna guess Arty does not read my blog, but Get Well!!! You're in my prayers! The party was fun. It was kinda like an Interboro reunion, but I knew enough people to hang out with and talk to while Karl was seeing old friends. I also have to throw in, that it was the best beef and beer food I ever had. I know cause I ate two plates of it. They had roast beef, obviously, really good meatballs, baked ziti and the lemon chicken and chicken marsala were awesome!

They had a chinese auction and fiddy fiddy's (that's south philly for fifty fifty). I started to put my tix in the bags for the nice baskets of stuff they had and realized I put the "keep this coupon" in the bags - no big deal cause the numbers match up, right? Well somehow, i had some of Los's and put some of his "keep" coupons in..anyway, i screwed up the whole thing. It didn't matter though, cause it was going to a good cause.

So Saturday, Los and I went to Produce Junction. Boy, is that place fantastic or what? The parking lot is a complete nightmare, but it's totally worth it. I got flowers and herbs for outside for $16 and a ton of fresh veggies for about $20. Last week, I bought my sister a dozen red gorgeous roses for $8.

So with all the delicious produce we decided to make shish kabobs. Probably about 5 mins into cooking time and 2 sips into los's fruity frozen drink, los realized the gas was finally gone. It was 630ish, so I figured the propane place was closed, I quick thought CHARCOAL! So Los ran out and got some and we lit it and YAY Fire! I'm sold on grilled corn too. After we grilled it, then peeled, I stuck it back on the grill in tin foil with butter and old bay! YUM!

We ended up having drinks and a dance party in the basement. We listened to 2 Stones cds and I wrote down my favorite songs. I think Some Girls turned out to be my favorite.
Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend! I'll try and update more often! I can't believe it's Memorial Day next weekend! You better set your DVR for Living Lohan and the Denise Richards Reality Shows! I can't wait for the Sex and the City movie too!!

I just flew back from KY, and boy are my arms killin me!

2008-05-06T16:51:00.000-07:00

Probably from riding the mechanical bull!

Ahhh, it's good to be home! I was awake at 345am and still awake, so I don't have too much energy to write. I will however, include some pics I got while visiting http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/ in KY for the Derby! I wan $11 bucks, but oh well, that paid for one of the many mint juleps I had. Los and I will figure out the video on here at some point so you can see me fly off the bull.

Birthday Pics!

2008-04-13T14:43:00.000-07:00

So the birthday celebration was fun! Lots of drinking and carrying on. I think everyone had a good time, I sure did! Thank you Everyone for all the nice gifts too! Honey, thanks for cleaning up the mess!

This pic is Friday night. Which one of these things is not like the other? This was a really good idea for a photo at the time.

Later on that evening, we sat around the fire...that's los's, barbrapeapod and my feet.

I've got my Ugg boots on, Sneakers are comfy, but my feet are on vacation when I have them on!

Then the party was on Saturday and I hired a bartender, Drew, who I work with. He made some awesome drinks and shots! It's a headless pic, but i had to get a picture of his short tie.

I liked my outfit, but a few people thought i had a puffy shirt on. I thought I looked like pirate.

The batteries in my camera died, so i didn't get too many pictures.

I hope you enjoy!

Party pics to be posted soon!

Places to eat in delco.

2008-03-23T17:38:00.000-07:00

So Los and I have not been to the supermarket in a while, so its kinda slim pickins round here. Well, atleast there is a large containter of cheese balls, and a Brita filter in my snack cabinet.

So we've kinda been on a restaurant tour. We were off on Good Friday. So we started out by going to breakfast the The Countryside Deli in Swarthmore, http://countrysidemkt.tripod.com/

No meat for us, cause it was Good Friday, so I had a cheese omelette, and they had fantastic potatos, i normally don't even eat the potatoes. The place is really cute, and they have a great coffee selection.

So we went to Olidators (National Wholesale Liquidators) that's where the cheeseballs came from, c'mon, how can you pass them up? By that time we were hungry again. So I said, "How bout ISOP from Double Decker?" Now these are not the usual In side out pizza, because they are fried! I don't get these too often, obviously cause they're fattening, but hey, every once in a while, right? So when you eat the part with no cheese or sauce, it's still delicious cause it's fried bread, yum! I don't have a link to that, but for those of you locals round here, it's right in the center of Ridley park, by the train station.

So, Saturday, wake up, eat second ISOP for breakfast and realize, that we still don't have any food, so I suggest going to the new Thai place up the street. Buppha Thai. I thought it was delicious. It was not that cheap, but it's a BYOB, which is always makes it cheaper. Oh and clean too!

Then, Happy Easter! Sunday we went to Easter Brunch with My mom and dad, and my sister's family. It was really nice, They had an omelette station, which is always delicious. Oh, this was called Meridiths in Berwyn, now I dont think that's delco, but it's not that far.http://www.meridiths.com/.

So, that was my tour of the restaurants I ate at this weekend! A few other places we love is Nora Lee's cafe, another good place we love. It's byob and a cajun restaurant. The soup and bread is delicious. There's usually no need to get an entree.

http://www.noraleescafe.com/index.html.

Ahh, then there is the ol Frontier Salon. Los told me that the beer selection is excellent. We were there on our St. Patrick's Day bar tour that I mentioned in my previous post. I suggest you check out the website, they have some pretty funny pictures of the wierd stuff in there.

Happy Dining in Delco! I'll mention more as I go out to eat!

Bar Tour!

2008-03-16T15:33:00.000-07:00

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! It's on a Monday, which is stinky, but that's why it was celebrated yesterday. I know in Lisa's neighborhood in South Philly, it's a month long celebration. They've got some Irish pride down there. I think its safe to assume that there is a shamrock on every door or window.

I took my camera with me yesterday to document the tour and I will admit there are some funny things at the fine establishments here in Delco.

First of all, there is a blarney bus, yellow school buses that go from bar to bar, but we just get on the Septa bus. It's two bucks, and is on the same route. So, our first bar was Dino's, it used to be Julies, and Los knew the bartender, I think he knows the owners too.

Pictured above is Kimmy and Alissa, who we spent most of the day with. Los and I took the bus to this bar and met them there. Kurt came and met us, so we got a ride to the next bar. As soon as we got into his car, we heard German Polka music, so we listened to it til we got the next bar. We went into Haggarty's, but it was mobbed, so we walked over to RP McMurphy's, we got a beer but didn't stay long, that was also mobbed with 21 year olds.

Our next trip was to The Frontier Saloon. Now that's quite a place. The popcorn machine was not working, but there were other things to see, as i will show you. Pictured above, is the sign, Draft Beer to go...WHAT?!?!? Do they give you a pitcher?

Also, at The Frontier Saloon, there's the Native American Girl picture that is lit up and every 15 minutes, get this, the scarf comes off and she's naked!! That's probably what gets their regulars coming back.

Oh and yes, there are animals on the roof. That's the horse, but there's a bull and something else on the other side.

Los and his brother Kurt at the first bar. And below, Nifty Fifty's. It was across the street from the bus stop.

Nice, a FORTY! This was on top of the shuffle bowl game, I'm not sure what this ancient piece of technology this is.

This also at the frontier, a condom machine in the ladies room! The first one is a bikini condom which is made slimmer for a tighter fit, the second in the rough rider, and the last one is the French Freedom Tickler, it's designed to tickle your fancy!

Brandon came to meet us....I got to tell him what I said, "You gotta eat your bread crust, It'll make your eyes curly and your hair blue".

Hmmm, something else questionable, An ape selling cheese steaks?

We ended up on the blarney bus, it happend to stop at the septa bus stop and they let us on.

We ended up at Della Polla's, always the favorite bar, and not too crowded. Karl, Kimmy and Brandon played pool. We then headed to the Milmont aka the Milmonster. I didn't get any pictures there, all i know is that I was chowing down on all the ham on the buffet table, I got into some soft pretzels too. Hope you enjoyed my tour of Delco. Did anyone do anything St. Patricks Day celebrating this weekend?

WINGS - My Favorite TV Show

2008-03-13T11:23:00.000-07:00

It was Roy's birthday on Jan. 29th. So this is a belated Happy Birthday Blog

Happy Birthday Roy!

Roy Biggins: I'm going to teach that kid everything I know.
Helen: What's he going to do the second half of the day?

Roy Biggins: You know what I do when I have a problem with a woman?
Antonio: Deflate her?

Joe Hackett: Lowell, where you going?
Lowell Mather: Oh, to clear my mind.
Roy Biggins: Shouldn't take long. One good sneeze ought to do it.

Antonio: This song I learned in Italy. For awhile it was the only English I knew... My goat knows the bowling score, halleluiah...
Helen: It's "Michael, row the boat ashore".
Antonio: No!

Helen: [Helen is leaving Lowell in charge of the restaurant counter as she heads out of work early] You sure you're gonna be okay with everything, Lowell?
Lowell Mather: Aw, yeah. Don't you worry about a thing; you just go off and have a wonderful time. Where are you going, anyway?

Helen: Uh, I would really rather not say.
Lowell Mather: Aw, come on.
Helen: Well, if you must know, I'm going to see my OB/GYN.
Lowell Mather: Fine, be that way. I'm having dinner with my M-o-m-m-y.

Bananna Muff-n-stuff.

2008-03-13T06:04:00.000-07:00

I haven't written in a while, but, I just thought of something I could share. A recipe! But please, let me ramble first.

Los and I just bought a bunch of banannas aka "Nannas" as lil Griffin would say. Griffin is the son of good frineds of ours, Christine and Brandon. The reason I'm mentioning lil Griffin is because he was recently hospitalized, he had flu-like symptoms and had 2 seisures, so please keep him in your prayers! He's one of the cutest kids I know!

Anyway, back to my rambling/recipe. It drives my nuts when produce and lunchmeat goes bad. It's one of those pet peeves of mine, so is paying for dirt - I will save that for another blog. Here's a tip, you can actually freeze lunchmeat, it still tastes good when you defrost it.

So my bananas were starting to turn brown, I know they do get sweeter, but I personally don't like them like that. I prefer them pretty firm (hay-oh! that's what she said!). So in order to get rid of them, i thought, bananna nut bread, I've never made bread before, and I don't have a breadmaker, so I thought Muffins! Now, i just started baking very recently. I don't like to measure, so that's why i dont really like it, and I also like to eat pretty healthy, atleast during the week. Sundays are for cheesesteaks, people. I have a recipe for low-fat oatmeal cookies, they are quite delicious and will lower your colesterol! So the muffins go like this:

1 cup whole wheat flour - I used regular, it's all i had.
1/4 cup brown sugar substitute - never heard of it, i used regular- theres not that much, and sometimes i think natural is better than "substitutes"
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup quick oats - good for lowering colesterol
1/3 cup unblanched sliced almonds - anti-oxidant, I also ground these up in the magic bullet
2 mashed bananas - potassium us gals need, it can't hurt the boys either.
2 egg whites - better than whole eggs
1/4 cup unsalted margarine - I use smart balance butter spread. We love it! It has Omega 3's and made w/soy and olive oils, there are always coupons. In fact, i only use real butter when we run out and and special occasions.
1/4 cup skim milk - we always have skim in the hizzouse.

If anyone has any suggestions for low-fat baking, please let me know. Oh, if you're interested,
I made low-fat stuffed shells (secret: cottage cheese)!

Regimine

2008-02-28T08:31:00.000-08:00

So i do the same thing pretty much everyday. Get up, go to work, come home from work, eat dinner, work out, go to bed. Well, this week has been a little different. Tuesday night, i worked late then had to go to Babies R Us. There was a class going on in there, I guess about their products and stuff and boy, I gotta tell ya - there was rough lookin crowd of pregnant women in there. They all looked like they could kick my ass. When and if I am with child, please remind me to do my hair and makeup.
So, Wednesday, Los and I went to his mother's (Inga) house for her birthday. Always a goodtime. I had a few Warsteiner's and 2 shots of Jaegermeister. Erwin was playing German music in the background but he had to keep fiddlin with the stereo cause it kept skipping. Thank goodness we got home in time for the first half of the finale of Project Runway.
Now tonight, I am going to my sister-in-law's mother's house for a Pampered Chef Party. I'm hoping they have the good ice cream scooper that a friend of mine purchased a few years ago. I've kinda been holding out for one of these cause I know they have a good one and Los has been wanting one for a while, he keeps bending our spoons. I must make it home in time for Lost. I know, I know that's what the DVR is for....but it's just not the same, and everyone talks about it on Friday morning.
So my weekday nights this week have been busy. I'd like to say that I'm spontaneous and a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal, but I gotta tell ya, I really like my daily routine of getting up, going to work, going home, going to bed. So I guess that is the point of my story.
I really need to start taking pictures cause my blog is pretty boring.

Atlantic City, gambling, food.

2008-02-17T14:44:00.000-08:00

So Los and I went to Atlantic City, unfotunately, I will be returning to work due to unforseen gambling losses.

We hit a lot of traffic on our way down there, so we were almost late for dinner. We went to Morton's Steak house. I thought it was way too pricey. Don't get me wrong, the steak i had was delicious...but not for $39.00. It ended up being a $200 dinner! Without dessert! Not that we're big dessert eaters anyway. But there was bernaise and hollandaise on the table...I could bathe in any sause that ends in an "aise".

I would've gone to Pickles, the chicken noodle soup is delicous and they have great deli sandwiches and we are usually comped. I guess i'm more practical these days. Don't get me wrong, I love fancy stuff, but I can make a steak at home. But anyway, I had a great time with my hubby and a wonderful Valentine's day!

Last night Johnnay came over and we went to the bar, Durty Nelly's that's up the street from us. Once again, due to unforseen gambling losses, i put 5 bucks in for a fifty fifty (the people in South Philly would say, fidee fidee) and we lost. But anyway, we had a good time and John said some funny stuff. Apparently there is a wine called "Pinot Nowhere". We woke up Sunday morning and made a big breakfast... we tried to do some last minute invites, but nobody could make it.
Oh well, next time. I realized there are no places near us, in delco, that have brunch, like with mimosas and blood mary's. So the next time we have off on a monday, expect an invite for brunch!

Writer's Strike/Basement Furniture

2008-02-14T11:14:00.000-08:00

I know, I know. I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I don't have too much to say. I'm not a great story teller.

We got new basement furniture. It looks really nice, and most important, it's comfy. I clean the whole upstairs when we're expecting people over... but where do they go? Straight through the kitchen and right down the steps to where there's 2 tv's, a bar, dart board, karaoke machine, guitar hero, about a thousand cds and most important these days, the Wii.

I got stopped by a cop this morning in the subway.....ahahaha, I bet that sounded good. He and his wife were on babara and my dart team. I always forget his name, but hey, He's a Philly cop and it's a dangerous town right now, so thanks for workin hard out there, Sgt. Niceguyfromdartswhomi'vemetathousandtimesandforgetyourname!

Los and I have a long weekend this weekend(presidents day). We took off on Friday, so we're celebrating Valentine's Evening in AC. We're having dinner at Morton's in Ceasars and staying at Bally's. It should be fun, I hope we win big, or atleast our dinner, or maybe just our parking.
Then its back home on Friday - we have no plans yet and that doesnt bother me one bit. We usually end up getting a million offers to do something, and sometimes we zero offers and that doesnt bother me either.

I'm thinking about having a birthday party for myself, i'm not gonna go nuts making food like barbarpeapods christmas party. I want to relax and look fabulous and have food made for me (that means finding a good caterer). What do you think of a house party? And any good places in Delco to order from?

I think i have bored you long enough....Schue

odds and ends/Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-01-19T20:12:00.000-08:00

So, I have a 3 day weekend, YAY! I'm not really doing too much. I woke up at 1030 today. So, still i have not hit my 9am weekend wake up goal. Oh well. I like my sleep.

Sam the Butcher from the Brady Bunch passed away. So sad. He was 84. I guess he just couldn't give the meat away anymore. (i know theres something funnier i could say)

Today I made macaroni and cheese, it came out pretty good. I just think it's a little bland. I even put some bacon in it. I thought I had extra sharp cheddah, but i guess i didn't. I think that's what it's missing. Any thoughts to beef it up?

Los made asian chicken wings, they smell delicious. There were alot of ingredients, hopefully they'll come out good. I am also marinating a london broil, i'm going to cook it up like a brisket. Thanks Jess for the idea!! (hers was delicious, i hope mine is too)!

Barbrapeapod and I usually make Thanksgiving on MLK day,but we're not doing it this year. No big woop, we're both kinda not in the mood. Plus, I hate cleaning the turkey, It's disgusting.
Now, I just get the turkey breast. So sorry folks, Thanksgiving is not a holiday I will be taking over. I already have Christmas - I make filet mignon and some kind of seafood.

In fact, the reason we started MLK Thanksgiving, was because of the free turkey from the supermarket. So one Sunday after the Eagles lost in the playoffs, we started saying Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at the bar. We were sad about the Birds losing, but were excited to make a turkey and have an extra little holiday, and of course play 8 hours of Gauntlet on playstation. When we first started it, was back in the day when Barbrapeapod and DD were just "hooking up". When he left, he said, "See ya later and Happy Thanksgiving!" We just immediately started cracking up - no wonder she loves him!!!

So anyway, Have a great weekend and Happy Thanksgiving!

sleep

2008-01-12T08:32:00.000-08:00

So, i made a new years resolution....my goal is to wake up before 10am on the weekends.I did it last weekend, but I woke up at 10:40 ish today. Hey, I like to sleep. How is it that i am that person on the train who reads 2 pages of a book and then pretty much passes out until my stop? And why is it that when I lay in bed, I can't fall asleep? I once fell asleep standing up. I was in a crowded church in Sea Isle City, NJ, there were no seats and we had to stand. I was in the ocean all day, I was tired. I woke up for Communion.

Anywho, i'm awake now and I have to start my day. It's "organizing weekend". It's the one weekend that Los and I don't have any plans (then we always get invited to go places, oh well, it's good to be loved). So soon it's off to the computer room to organize all the wires to our electronic stuff.

On TV, I found 2 episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 and 2 episodes of The OC. Jackpot!

Oh well, i'm rambling..... I just thought i should update my blog.

Mousecersize

2007-12-21T11:33:00.000-08:00

I was sitting on my couch reading a celeb magazine, looking at glow of my Christmas tree, and then I saw it. A mouse. I can't tell you how much I am afraid of them. Los thinks I'm crazy, like they are carrying machetties or something. I say they carry disease and poop in your cereal.
I saw one a few months ago and I freaked out. I couldnt sleep. I got up went to work, i was dreading going home. After I finally went into the house, i realized I couldn't stay, so i quick packed a bag and went to my parent's house. They too, thought i was crazy. So I called an exterminator. They were very nice. They calmed me down and offered me a 1 year contract...I got the contract. They come out once a quarter and check the traps. I haven't seen a mouse in a while and i was finally comfortable opening cabinets, closets, drawers, etc. I just got my bill for the next appt. I was a little late paying and kinda lazy about making the appt., but i finally did. They came on a Friday and basically found nothing, no droppings, no dead ones-nothing. Then I saw one on Monday. Ewww! It went into my living room closet. I screamed and called Los, he looked and looked but didnt find it. I was freaked out, but not as bad this time, just because there are traps in my house and hopefully it will run into one.
So Tuesday I was ready for a mousercism. I got into work and ordered a plug in thing with the supersonic sounds that bothers their nervous system, but i have to wait for that. I also brought home peppermint oil. They don't like the smell. So I put some water on the stove with some peppermint oil and let it boil for a few hours, then filled up bowls and bud vases with the oil and strategically placed them around the house (they look much nicer than traps). I made a solution of the oil and water and sprayed all over the outside of my house, twice. So now, my house smells like an Altoid. It's now Friday and my supersonic plug in thing should arrive today. All I can say is Buh-bye! I will let you know how it goes.

Family Feud

2007-12-14T08:16:00.000-08:00

So TV has been pretty bad these days, but thankfully, the Family Feud is on from 9-10. I love it. The Host is John O'Hurley aka J. Peterman from Seinfeld. I watched him on Dancing with the Stars and loved him so much I had to go see him in "Chicago" on Broadway. He was great.
Of course you can never forget the best host ever, Richard Dawson. Hilarious and so un-p.c. I'm surprised he wasnt smoking a cigarette, but atleast he could smoke and drink on The Match Game. So anyway - here were a few question/answers Los and I saw last night and had tears rolling down our faces!

1. The longest time you have watched TV - 10 mins.
2. Name something you would find in a operating room - A phone.
3. Name a special event when the family gets together for a photo - Photography
And the best one of all last night was.......
4. Name a book you use as a reference often - Dr. Spock

C'mon, does a Dr. Spock book actually exist? The other person said dictionary. Why would Dr. Spock be the first thing that comes out of your mouth? So, screw the library and internet....I'm just going to use my Dr. Spock book as a reference guide.

Any funny answers from the Family Feud you can remember?

Well, My husband and i just went to the Mac Dade Mall to see Mark Wahlberg filming the Lovely Bones, but it was cold and we didn't see him, so we left. Nothing too exciting. The movie
sounds pretty sad. I'm also just testing to see how this whole blog thing works.
