Just a Li'l Thing

As you may know, Abe and I are moving in a little over a week. So, tonight I'm about to get on the train and remember to grab a bunch of free newspapers for packing up fragile items. I grabbed a stack of am New York papers and got on the L train.

I sat with the papers under my arm on the train and played solitaire on my iPhone. Then I transferred to get on the G train. As I walking on the platform I dropped the stack of 20 papers on the platform - one guy with headphones thought about helping me for a minute, but didn't. Anyway, I gathered them all up just as the train rolled in. When I got on the train and sat down I straightened out the stack of papers.

That was when I [finally] realized that I was freaking staring at my friend Jessica!

I'll have to wait to get more papers tomorrow because these are collectors items.

Total Tesh Fest

I dabble in a lot of things, but the one talent that never ceases to amaze and entertain Abe is that I can whistle the MLB on Fox theme song.

Tonight I was whistling it for Abe and I was like "I should learn the football one, how does that go?" and he said "You know which one you should learn, go type in [into Google] 'NBA on NBC John Tesh'."

I did this (even though I hate basketball) and thank god I did because what I found next COMPLETELY BLEW OUR MINDS.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to behold one of the most amazing things on the Internet. The healthy heads of hair, the guitar solo, the cocky attitude, the man himself...Mr. John Tesh!

Friendsgiving

Last night was Friendsgiving over at Colleen's house. Everyone brought a dish or two and then we pigged out.

I made three Martha Stewart recipes: sauteed brussel sprouts and shallots, pecan pie, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes(follow this recipe, but first slice off the top of a bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in over for 45 mins. Then squeeze garlic into potatoes after you add the milk. Oh, I also kept on the potato skins.)

Mmmm...Piper's bruschetta was pretty.


[Clockwise from 12 o'clock: sweet potato au gratin, brussel sprouts, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potato with raisins, butternut squash lasagna, and cranberry chutney in the center.]


Piper tries to get the dance party started.


We played several games of Celebrity. Can you guess which household name I am charading?

At 2am we ate Round 2 of the food and then went home and passed out.
