my sister, my hero

it's halloween and my favorite part of this awesome holiday is the unveiling of my sister's latest and greatest halloween costume masterpiece. she's seriously always has the best costume, so any attempt i have for a great idea is immediately smothered by her innate creativity. i need to find some pics of past costumes just to share her finest work. Don't get me wrong, i come from a pretty creative family and i am quite proud of my own innate crafting abilities, but the bar is set ridiculously high when my sister is involved. cheers to her latest line of Carnival freaks and entertainers, Lobster Lady!!!

that's boss!

***oh btw, Anyone in the greater Boston/New England area sunday December 6 come check out the Bazaar Bizarre (i like to call it the punkrock craft fair)  @ Cyclorama. My sis is on the board of directors or something fancy like that, a fun group of people organizing the event, selecting vendors, entertainment, location, etc. etc.  There's way over 100 vendors, lots of really cool stuff to buy, and it only costs 1 american dollar to get in! The lines tend to wrap around the block or 2, so get your cute little asses there pronto! It's good people, really cool one-of-a-kind stuff that will make all your friends super jealous, grab your mom something for the holidays, or a birthday gift for your best buddy, or a lil' something to make someone blush.........or just drop by to say hello to me :)  I'll be back vending my sister's goods again this year at the Thimblewinder/Marissaland Table

in fact

i heard this song on satellite radio tonight at some random out-of-town place. i don't like fiona apple, mostly because she sucks live and i think she's starving both on the plate and for hollywood attention and i think she lacks personality but makes up for it in the crazy depeartment. My harsh opinions are derived from when i saw her in concert a couple years back (thank pockets it was for for free) and she distastefully had a nervous breakdown on stage. it was miserable and uncomfortable to watch. save that crazy shit for the greenroom or your hotel bathtub. although she bores me to death i really enjoyed this video by her and only because Zack Galfiankas is hilarious in it. i love probably everything about him and i can back that up solely based on this video.

Fiona Apple - New Music - More Music Videos

i kinda lied about fiona apple. i like a song called extraordinary machine. that's fluke and that's it i promise. yuck.

forced summer!

i'm really excited to go on vacation especially after today seeing some slushy snow nonsense on my way to the ole office this afternoon, i kind of need to relax again, but i know that won't be happening on this trip because vacations are rarely relaxing because there's always a lot going on. Maybe i'll designate 30 minutes of nothing each day to relax.......maybe i'll just designate 30 minutes each day that i only use Spanish (totally aggrivate my friends!!)

we're headed for our yearly estrogen getaway, we've picked up a new vacation group member this year making it 4-square. here's some pics from the fun we had last year.... heatstroke, melanoma,  monctezuma's revenge,  hangovers and all!! Just kidding, i only had a little of all that and TONS of fun ;9)

hellomean!

I have a really good idea for a halloween costume-slash-traveling halloween scene......it's pretty hilarious and kinda vulgar and maybe blatantly sexual...... and i think that's why no one has really stepped up to joining me. i'm kinda disappointed in the lack of random acts of sillyness people have to offer these days. i'm just sayin' it's one night of the year, and prolly everyone won't remember because A. they'll be wasted and B. if you really are that into halloween you only pay attention to how awesome you think your own costume is. Honestly, this is one of my favorite nights of the year because it screams creativity. It's a commitment, but everyone else that will remember will be like "damn i can't believe they did that." i'm just sayin' it's one for the books kids. Don't be camera shy. Be glorious with me. I triple dog dare you. I'm really into it for shock value this year...........

if you want to be boring and buy your costume from Target this year i won't judge you immediately, hey! that's pretty cool too.

marge in charge

So tell me something.....is Marge gonna show off her cartoon crotch and jubblies? I guess we'll have to wait and see

Safe at second base!

Wow, yeserday Val and Tina of the Treasure Chests raised decently over a thousand bucks, successfully making their fund raising goal!! It was a long day of bargaining with frugal crazy old people, drinking starbucks, chasing random objects in the wind, & hustlin' the Tormey sisters' very own gourmet baked goods. MUY YUM!!

Top 5 Favorite moments of tag sale.....

1. Mr. Tormey granting me automatic invite for Sunday morning crepes whenever Val's in town (tactfully premeditated by my delivery of his favorite seasonal Starbucks beverage)
2. That cheapskate old dude trying to talk Val's watch to one dollar, agrees on 2bucks then says it's broken! - Val, you run a tough bargain
3. Finding a vintage item that sparked a killer Halloween costume idea (thanks Tormey Sir's!!)  **Those of you who know shhh don't spoil the surprise!**
   
4. Tina sweet-talkin that old crazy racist Korean war vet/border patrol hat wearin jerk.
5. Helping out for an organization that i suppose in some way has already helped my family :)

Way to go ladies, i'll be thinking about ya next weekend, when you're walking 60 miles over 3 days in the potential raindrops, i'll be chillin' with my feet up high and dry!!

Play offs!

BATTER UP!!!

If it's a nice day you'll find my mom in the yard planting, plucking, diggin dirt, and watering. She likes to do all this for fun, i don't really consider manual labor therapeutic, i think she likes to be alone and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. She always makes really pretty flower beds and window boxes and gets really neat ways to grow herbs.....one day i left this comic as a token of my appreciation of my mom's outdoor hobby in her little reading area, i think she ignored it being for her and put it in a random stack of my mail/random papers. It was really meant for her though and i think she totally missed my random act of kindness.





My mom is super nice and generous and I can't wait to plan her surprise 60th-b-day party!! But it's gonna be super secret, so don't tell her.
