Well, here's a place i won't be for 9 days. Now, that's vacation!!! Oh, how i will miss the smell of urine and dead rodents.

Happy Friday!

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

Oldie but Goodie

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....

How awesome was she in "Steel Magnolias"?

The new table pic

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

Didn't Fit.

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

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?
