frinkles and sand tastles

so chris was out here last weekend and we had a grand time as usual. didn't really do too much... he met one of my bestest friends dee.. and we pretty much hung out. he tested for verizon and did well so that is good news. things are moving so fast now but i am excited more so than anything else. there is some mild anxiety because i don't want him, or his family, to be resentful of him moving out here. but the selfish side of me is ecstatic.
oh so maybe i should explain the title of this post... Saturday we went to Asbury to the beach with my sis and her 3 yr old son. So we are walking along the boardwalk and there was someone building a sandcastle so my nephew goes "Look!! A sandtastle" so we chuckled and i was trying to tease him so i asked "that's a sandtasle?" and he goes "NO not a sandtastle, a SAND TASTLE!" so a few minutes later, we stopped to get some snacks and my nephew declared he wanted an ice cream cone with frinkles. you already know i had to tease him again. so i go "frinkles?" and he goes "THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAAAAID!! I SAID FRINKLES!" so we went back and forth a few times but it was so cute.
i don't really have anything too deep to say tonight.... but i did promise mama ede that i would post tonight! anyway here are some pics.

me and chris... aawwwww

wtf?

so this morning, i am watching the news, getting ready to start my day and i see this craziness...
some dude on a train got attacked by another dude with a hammer... for no apparent reason. this is so bizarre on so many levels. the attack happens about a minute into the video



i want to know if that was the attacker's child that was with him? what makes someone haul off and beat someone with a hammer? did he want the seat for him and his kid? who took the kid when he got off the train beatin the mess out that other dude? why did none of them grown ass men on the train even try to help. at least restrain dude? i honestly don't know how i would have re-acted if i was a passenger on that train when the attack happened? i mean... i definitely wouldn't have been able to do anything physically but i just don't know. i find this extremely disturbing. i really need to know what provoked him. the kid looked like he was falling asleep... was he snoring? does the dude know him from somewhere else? i dunno but here is the news interview with the dude that was attacked.



what would you have done?

happy monday




My Eagles killed the season opener!! I mean in all honesty it was a pretty boring game because it was such a tremendous blow out... but it was a nice way to start the season.

And here is my favorite player... Brian Westbrook!


Chris says he is mediocre (he's hatin') but i love him... love, love, love him. i watch him every week... entire games...not just on espn clips soooo there you have it.

anyway this weekend was pretty uneventful.
We had a visit from Hurricane Hannah on Saturday.... that was interesting. It was technically a tropical storm by the time it hit the Del Val but it was still more storm than i like to see. We generally do not get extreme weather out here so i am a big punk when it comes to hurricanes and what not. I mean, i was fine until the Emergency System came on EVERY channel... talking about tornado warnings... no thankyou! i am in an apartment... i have no basement. so i went around the corner to my neighbors house since they have a basement. i guess i may have over-reacted slightly but i don't play with stuff like that. eff that.

wow... that was the highlight of my weekend... that is pretty sad! LOL!

I'm Back

I'm back from visiting Chris and I am still processing the whole weekend. but all in all, I had a great trip! i got to meet his family and they are awesome (not just saying that cuz he reads this). I did get interrogated... but that was to be expected! I was dumb nervous... i was trying to just be myself but I didn't want to be too goofy. i dunno, i was pretty much just a quieter version of myself... i was intimidated! chris' mom is super cute! so nice... so warm. definitely helped my nerves having her around. his dad is a nut! so funny... so so funny. i can definitely see the similarities in personality. It was definitely cool. i think my meeting the family went well. the only one i was really scared of was his grandmother. but i love her personality. i think she is funny, how she says stuff. but i didn't want to laugh and have her think i was retarded. but i like her. i hope she liked me too... i think she did but that was only like 2 days... so i'm looking forward to the next trip out there so i can get to know them all a little better.


i will give more details later when i have time... but for now, here are some pics!

so saturday, we went to uhm... somehwere... i dunno chris will have to fill in these details because i don't know what the names of anything is but this is at a wine bar place we went to... and yes chris is doing something weird in the pic.
