Tricky...or treat

Halloween is Friday - November is Saturday! Crazy how fast this year has gone! Just think...after November comes December...meaning my birthday and then that one holiday everyone loves...and then New Years. Then it's the Superbowl, Valentines, and Roomie's b-day! Then we go into Easter, spring, Scott's wedding, etc. Then it's DMB touring time! Wow...I should start putting money aside for my aspiration of 1st or 2nd row!

Anyhoo, with Halloween comes Heather. The girl is obsessed, but in a fun and not creepy way. Her Halloween is my Valentine's Day. Kinda funny that she loves the scary holiday while I love the gushy holiday...never thought about that before.

Her college roomie is coming this weekend to celebrate with us! While I am letting Heather do the honors of disclosing our Halloween costume when she is ready to share, I think it'll be awesome! Let me just say this...it's tricky.

Kim wants to dance, and dance we shall! I'm already stretching and making sure I have the "bend and snap" move ready to go. We are also going to check out the NYC marathon on Sunday. Turns out some celebs want to try and pull a Diddy or JLo and run for a bit. However, Kim, Roomie and I will probably be eating something and drinking beer on the sidelines...cheering them on. It runs right by our house.

We also may check out SNL if we can. Ben Affleck is hosting...uh oh. This may be the best weekend in NYC yet!

Denmark, Sweden, Norway, oh my!

Dare I say it...

Manhattan Mamas: 8-0

Bengals: 0-8

I'm scared

It is Halloween.........OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!

Turns out his elbow is worse than we thought.

Scandinavians goin hog wild

In the 60's, John Lennon sang, "I once had a girl or should I say, she once had me." The name of the song? Norwegian Wood (from the best Beatles' album ever, Rubber Soul).

Picture it. It's 2008 in New York City and Heather and I are havin a brew. The place: The Hog Pit in the Meat Packing District. It's our third appearance.

We are looking good if I do say so myself. Heather is sporting a new shirt while I break in some new shoes. We just finished up a great meal at Vegetarian Paradise 2, that was indeed, a vegetarian's paradise.

The night starts rocky with an old Harley Davidson biker hitting on us. He actually diverted all of the cute boys away. He talked about his life which neither of us cared to hear...although a nice guy...we wanted someone a bit of our own age...and without a braided ponytail.

It was two boys from Sweden that ended up saving us. Now if you remember right, our second appearance brought us the Denmark boys. I'm beginning to think: Scandinavians love the Hog Pit.

It was a fun night. Full of jukeboxes, language deciphering and learning that cops don't carry guns in Sweden (they actually have to register for them). They were fun with cute accents. Got to love that.

But unfortunately for us, the boys had to head back. It was like John sang, "these birds have flown."

ROOMIE SEZ

When in doubt, dance it out.

Thanks for the pic, mom!

6 degrees of Dane

So I am loving this fall weather. The crisp and chilly air causes me to basically oversleep a few minutes every morning for work, hence why I was again, running late this morning.

But...my lateness was a reward for my roomie (in a weird way that is). I saw Robert Kelly (he's in the blue jacket). Yeah, I didn't know his name either and probably wouldn't know his face if it weren't for my roomie. He's a comedian that went on the road with Dane Cook for the comedy tour, Tourgasm. While he smoked a cigerette and stood 5'0 or however tall he is this morning, it made me think: He knows Dane. He has Dane's number. My roomie loves Dane. I should've acted faster. But to be honest, only one side of my earphones work on my MP3 player and Dave was on. I was straining to hear "Two Step." I was distracted.

This post is an apology. I failed you roomie. I could've used my super hot "I'm-tired-and-don't-want-to-go-to-work" moves to get Dane's number for you. But I did not. I failed you.

Note: "Two Step" in only one ear is better than no "Two Step" at all.
