The Iron Who?

The Ironmen is New Jersey's indoor soccer team that play in Newark. Why do I know this? Because Steven's dad knows the owner and gets free tickets to the games which him and his friends go to. Last friday night I went to my first game with the gang. This is by far the most time I have ever spent in Newark outside of the airport and I have to say I had a great time.
I took the train in from the city and met Steven, Gina and Jeff at his friend's restaurant just down the street from the station. I got there first so I let Charlie buy me a beer while I waited. Charlie is the guy who just happen to sit next to me at the bar and personally I think he was just hedging his bets by buying me a drink. I believe it went something like this. "Buy those two beautiful girls at the end of the bar a drink on me" he looks at me, gives me the once over and then says "buy this lady one too" with a what the hell look on his face. Hey if you're buying I'm drinking.
So I eagerly awaited my boys arrival while listening to Charlie tell me about how he steals everything from the hotel he works at while he passes out big white hotel towels to the bartenders. Hey, where's my towel Charlie? I could use one to wipe the spit off of my arm from listening to you talk, gee thanks.
Anyway, after some dinner off we went to the game. The Ironmen lost and I paid $10 for a bad beer but all in all another fun night.

The Ironmen mascot and who is that on the left?
Well I think it's Cruella Deville!
Run dog run!

Gina, Jeff and me?

Manolo Blahnik...I think not!

So I was walking to the train today after work and this sweet young foreigner stopped me for directions which normally I have no problem helping out with but this time I was asked a question I honestly didn't know the answer too...Do you know where Manolo Blahnik is? Are you kidding me? You couldn't of asked a more fashion deficient person on all of the streets of New York. Not only was I dressed like a bum being it was a monday but I was wearing the most manly lesbian shoes I have in my closet. " Ah, No I don't no where Manolo Blahnik is..." I can barely find JC penny's.

Bo Bo goes bananas!

So the Fraser's took off to the Bahamas for the week with the girls because they have their spring break. They rented some little shack with Gavin's brother John, his wife Stacey and their two girls.

So day one they land at the airport and while they are getting off the plane Violet takes a header
on the tarmac and totally scrapes up her face and was bleeding every where. Welcome to paradise Bo Bo!

Then later that day they were cruising around in a golf cart. I don't know who was driving or what really happened but when the golf cart turned Violet and cousin Bell flew out and took a tumble. All in all everyone seems to be healing nicely and on the mend. So much for a relaxing vacation but at least she was well enough to get her hair done.

Don't all jump at once...

but who out there wants to buy me this?

I don't know why I torture my self by keeping this picture as my
wall paper on my work computer. I just sit here all day staring at it
wishing that some day I could drive it home.

BITCH...literally!

As many of you know I am a dog person. I have had dogs my whole life up until I lost my Sysco 3 years ago. Since then I have been living my dog life vicariously through my friends and their dogs. There is Shirley of course, Jen and Kevin's dog. Misty, Gabriele's dog who I also used for my training to graduate from Animal Behavioral College (not a real college). There is Boston an old friend from elementary school who besides for his name is the sweetest pup around. Then there is Dough Boy of course who besides for his jealous behavior at times is still my little sweetie boy and my new number one dog.
Wait? Did she say her new number one dog? But what about Ruby, Roo Roo, the one and only Rubster? As of last night Ruby is now at the bottom of my list. Why? because she bit me! For the first time in all my life I was bitten by a dog to the point where blood was drawn and a band aid was needed.
Sorry Ruby but you are one hell of a bitch!

L' ITALIA STINKY!

I got an e-mail from MLB.com about the World Classic baseball games so I browsed the shop and found this...

How cool it that? Italian baseball team? I didn't even know such a thing existed. What do they shag flies with when they practice, meatballs? The pitcher must be able to concentrate very well because you know the other 7 guys on the field are talking through his wind up. They also must wire the catchers jaw shut because if he talked during the pitch the target would keep moving because as you know all good Italians talk with their hands. So I had to buy the sweat shirt to support my fellow country men and show my respect for the team.

When the box showed up I was so excited to show it off. I ripped it open and pulled out the beautiful royal blue shirt with the Italian flag on it and wait a minute...what's that smell?
Holy crap did that sweat shirt stink like it had been in my great grandma's basement in Fort Lee for the past 20 years. Maybe if I wash it it will be good. So I washed it and washed it and hung it out to dry for a week and it still stunk!

I wasn't sure if they would take it back or not? I mean I washed the thing so technically it's used. I called up the returns department and low and behold they sent me a call tag and a placed an order for a new one. I'm pretty sure you know how this story ends... it ends with me not wearing an Italia Baseball sweat shirt...boooooo! Stink, stank, they all stunk!

Go Yankees!

Happy Baby Gaby and Dave!

Last weekend I went to my friend Gaby and Dave's baby shower. I was more than willing to make my friend her baby shower cake after all I made their wedding cake as well. I am so excited for them both. She is due April 7th and they don't know if they are having a boy or a girl which I love. I don't want to know. I know it makes it easier and all and it's hard not to find out these days but it's always such a great surprise to find out when the big day comes. What ever the little tyke turns out to be it will be super cute and loved by us all.
