Kerry's Tag--MY CHILDHOOD WAS STINKIN' AWESOME!

Kerry- Let's face it I tried this but got bored. But I thought you would enjoy this even more.. I love my barbie life! Oh to go back and be a child.. what am I saying... I'd play right now if I had all my stuff. So Kerry, these pictures are just for you:


This is the strawberry shortcake house that Jeni and I loved to play with and a bonus. I got into town the other day and my mom had out a tin of all the old strawberry short cake dolls and I went nuts begging her to let me have them! I wanted to play right then and there!!!

So this is the barbie post office I bought off E-Bay a few years ago. This is the actual one Jeni and I used to play with. And you know.. if Barbie can't write her long lost love.. whats she going to do. I mean how would she ever meet Ken in this day and age... Pen Pals.. Hello!!

Lets not even forget that Barbie has to go camping sometime. Okay well Jeni's barbie was always rich enough to live in the Barbie homes and mine was the trailer trash barbie living in the motor home...

And remember when we reminisced about our Barbie's babies running away from home.... Well Jeni's used the wagon and mine used the bike... I had blonde babies, Jeni brunette... how perfect... but don't forget that we used yarn to tie other things with wheels because they had to have something to pull the suitcases and things... Babies can't live without their toys..!

So thanks for the reminding me how wonderful my childhood was!!! I am now going back to Ebay to buy all of these images and hopefully Jeni and I can have a reunion for ourselves! Would you like to join? Don't lie.. I know you want to come play too!

So I now have time.. actually I now have internet speed to allow me to blog... Lets face it.. Jeff's satellite wireless card with AT&T sucks in our area so internet is a thing much left to be desired. Okay, so 6 quirks about myself...

1. Things have a place, a home. And everything has to be put in its home. Not scattered around lying in some unknown place where it looks lost, but put in its home. If I were the shirt lying on the floor I would be wondering where I was and why I'm stuck on this random spot on the floor and when I would ever get home to my comfortable spot on the hanger with all my other friends or in the clothes hamper waiting to have some fun to be renewed and fresh and vibrant again like drunks after they leave a bar and are in need of a bed and a shower. Jeff hates this about me but every time he comes home its like I follow him around the house until he has settled somewhere cleaning up everything he puts down in the wrong spot. I just can't help it!

2. I can't mix my foods! Okay so my food can touch each other and that doesn't bother me but I can't eat part of my main course and then take a bite of the veggies and then take a bite of the salad. I have to eat one or the other until its finished. And to top it off I never eat the main course first. Its always the salad if there is one and then the veggies and then the main course. Its like I have to eat the lightest food first. But its better that way because then at least I'm eating the more healthy dishes first unless the whole mean is healthy. I'm such an OCD person.

3. I can't leave a drop of chocolate in a bowl!!!! Oh my gosh! I'm sooooo not even kidding!!! If there is chocolate of any kind in a bowl whether from a brownie mix or just melted chocolate in a bowl, my finger goes crazy grabbing every possible lick I can from the bowl to put into my watering mouth! My friends are always so embarrassed when I go to the Melting Pot and I'm scraping the pan of melted chocolate from the very bottom of the dish just to feed my already overstuffed stomach of this mix!!

4. Everything has to be done yesterday!!! My mom loves to tell me that! I get in the mood to do things and I just want it to be finished so I can be content and move on to the next project. Yeah, this wedding has been difficult because I hate waiting for something! I want it to be completed so I can rest at night knowing that I'm not procrastinating and neither is the other person who I'm waiting on. Oh my, this blog is making me realize I'm a crazy person! Thanks Taylee, I was content before I realized that! :)

5. I "what-if" everything! Yep, if a new solution is offered to a problem by someone, I have to "what if the world goes wrong". So my rings were stuck in store because of the Hurricane and Jeff kept offering different things we could do along with my family and I kept saying, "yeah....but what if ... blah blah blah.." Its because it reverts back to the #4 quirk of everything has to be done yesterday or I sit up and worry about what else might go wrong. I'm not content because the problem hasn't been officially resolved yet. The rings we finally were able to have transferred to another store and I was still worried that Jeff might not be able to pick them up the next day because well.. what if... (the other store shut down, they wouldn't let him without slips that I had...) so when he finally called to say he had them all... I calmed down. It was resolved and no more what ifs.... except well... what if he forgets to bring them when he flies up here... oh dear!!!! I'm so screwed!!!

6. I generally never answer the phone with hello. I always say whatever I'm thinking of at that exact moment. In fact, I didn't know this about myself until a couple years ago when my friend Tyler would call and then after I said my thought he would always answer back, "well hello to you too" and then after a while I asked why he would aways say that and he told me it was because I never said hello. So when the phone rings and I'm thinking about how its wierd that people don't like ketchup on their grilled cheese sandwiches than thats how I would answer the phone. I think it started back when I was a young teenager and I loved how people on the soap operas never said goodbye to each other when they hung up the phone. I always wanted to do that. Plus I hate small talk of "Hi, how are you." So yeah, I answer with crazy comments.

So there are my 6 quirks. Onto my next tagged blog for Kerry.

I'm tagging the following:
1) Jeni
2) Kerry
3) Tasha
4) Mary

Ghosts, Goblins, and ... Hornets!!! Oh My!

I'm Declaring myself as a Non-Tourist

So I found that I have officially hated tourists in NYC! They are everywhere and need to go! Now, I love the people. Its my favorite part in NY to walk and there are always hundreds of people nearby but seriously... the tourists get in your way, stand by, slow down, and stop right in front of you because they don't know what in the world they are doing!!!!

So I went to Wicked which I have been waiting to see for years and loved it!! I hate to admit this but because Wicked is such a spectacle and huge performance I actually found that I enjoyed Gypsy almost better with Patty Lupone who won the Tony for it. But don't get me wrong, Wicked was still amazing!

Of course I couldn't stop bragging about my Yankees even when they suck like they have this year. And I loved going to the Yankees game vs the Red Sox even though we lost 11-3. The Red Sox pulled 7 runs in the 8th inning and we went through 3 pitches in that inning alone!!! Such a disgrace... Now I've been telling everyone that at these games Red Sox fans that are too loud are A**holed out of the stadium. Yep thats right. So the videos below were after they chanted the A*hole part but you can get the idea how it works.. Although it was such a disgrace that after that 8th inning Denise and I were surrounded by nothing but a sea of red shirts. Yep- all the Yank fans left us to fend for ourselves with the Bosux fans. And so unfortunately one loud and drunk Yankee fan got kicked out of the stadium by the Red Sox fans. That was even more humiliating than losing the game that bad... So sad, really! Check out Denise and I's faces after experiencing the horrific humiliation They are at the top of this paragraph.

I found myself wandering around Central Park by myself while Denise worked one of the nights... and then a distubring thing happened to me.. I saw a couple in their mid-forties laying on the grass going at it in such a way that meant they really needed to get a room... Um yeah... don't they know they aren't alone in this park and their are children like .... everywhere!!!

After that I fell asleep on the grass for an hour and woke up to it being twilight.. grabbed a subway and met Denise. We went to this place called Red Mango for some dessert. I'm greedy and ordered the large even through Denise's warning that it was big and well look at this sucker... I ate almost the whole thing... and then found out I just ate mini-bugs... Yep.. I found out looking at the side of the container that it meets the LIVE CULTURES standards of NY and I was like what??? Denise then proceeded to tell me that its in all yogurt which is why it aids in digestion! How did I not know this!!! So I told her I was eating mini-bugs and she said no its a bacteria... and I said hello- thus meaning mini-bugs... bacteria is a germ and the pictures of germs are like globs of goo with legs meaning its a bug that is so microscopic you can't see.. Mini- bugs I ate!! OH, gross! At least they tasted good!

So that was my NYC trip in a nut shell. I'm still trying to post my video of my home blog but unfortunately its a large file and takes forever.. I have to spend my days going to Barnes & Nobles to use internet because we don't have any at home. I can only sit here for so long waiting for this thing to upload. I'll try the library this weekend so you can see it. Its pretty funny, if I may say so myself.
