Future Mislehs Engagement Party!


Sorry I'm a little tardy in posting, I didn't have any pictures and my trusty photographer just sent them to me (thanks Ronya!)! :-)

On Saturday the 13th, we hosted at our house (along with the bridesmaids) an engagement party for Christine and Rommie. I think it was a pretty good success, minus the fact that it decided to be 96 degrees that day and our AC decided it should stop blowing cold air b/c it was too hot and there were too many people in the house. It was a casual barbecue and football watching fest, with lots of yummy food made by the bridesmaids, Miss Peggy and various Mislehs. Special shoutout also goes to my mom who I roped into making us chicken kabobs and to my poor husband who spent hours outside in the heat over the grill firing us up the yummy burgers he made. The BMs and I couldn't have done this without a lot of help, so thanks everyone!

Although we didn't get many pictures from the day, here is a fun shot of the Mabrook (congratulations in Arabic) cake Krissy brought and the couple cutting the cake--we all teased them it was good practice for the wedding!

Can't wait until May when they tie the knot!

Just Call me Mullet Troll

Whatever your politics may be, this is a fun little game to play to see what your name would be if you were Sarah Palin's kid. With names like Trig, Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper (at least the girls got somewhat decent names! The boys were shafted!) there is a new website where you can input your first name, middle name, last name or any combination of all of those to see what your name would be.

I am lucky enough to be Mullet Troll Palin. I really don't think anyone can top that. I do challenge you to leave comments and tell me what yours is and I'll judge if it tops Mullet Troll.

Enjoy!

Scarred for Life

Our poor innocent sweet little puppy was scarred for life today, and I think her Dad was too a little. Belinga took the pup out for a little walk while I made dinner tonight (aw what a sweet little suburban couple) and all was going well until they came across a precocious little Indian boy. He was very inquisitive and asked Belinga a lot of questions about little Bella.

Boy: Is your dog friendly?
Boy: Can I pet her?
Boy: How old is she?
Boy: What kind of dog is she?
Boy: Where are her private parts?

ERRRRRRRRR (cue sounds of record needle scratching). WTF did this little kid just say? Oh wait, gets better.

Boy: Is she hot or cold?
Boy: Will you show me where her private parts are?

Belinga didn't really know what else to do, so he pointed in the general direction. Bella felt dirty. She came home and crawled into bed, wondering what had just happened.



Happy Birthday x 3!

Happy Birthday to my good friends Liz (5th), Kera, (7th) and Christie (8th) who all had birthdays in the last 3 days! I miss you all and hope you had/have wonderful birthdays!!

90210 2.0

A bunch of girls and I got together last night to watch the newest version of our beloved Beverly Hills, 90210. They've now shortened it to just 90210 (duh) and it's a jazzier more up-to-date version of our fave that was on the air from 1990-2000.

The Peach Pit looks like Starbucks with Nat as a barista, the kids are way richer and flashier and there were several tie ins to the old 90210 which I loved (Hannah Zuckerman-Vazquez, Erin Silver). Loved that Kelly had a kid, who we all think Brandon is the father of (sadly not Dylan like I was hoping it would be). The new parents are definitely no Jim and Cindy Walsh and the mom is bit too understanding of her hubby having a kid with Naomi's whorebeast mom (I don't care if he didn't know it was alive, he knew he got her pregnant!) It is weird though how similar the new Brenda and Lori Laughlin look, isn't it?!

Anyway, I'm hooked for the time being. I hope it doesn't suck. I know next week won't when we get to see Jackie Taylor-Silver again!!!!

PS: I totally called the jazzier version of the theme song and am glad they kept the original "Duh nuh nuh nuh, Duh nuh nuh, Ch Ch" (my poor attempt at phoneticizing the old theme song)!

PPS: Why did none of my principals look like Rob Estes?

PPPS: I am glad there is an Iranian on the show, supposedly, but #1 I don't think they even mentioned he was Iranian, #2 it's Beverly Hills, there ought to be like 8,000 Iranians on the new cast, lbh, and #3 why do I not see him eating kabobs and rice like I did all my childhood?!?!

Congratulations Caryn and Brett!

Belinga and I attended the lovely nuptials of Caryn and Brett on Sunday in Washington, DC. It was our first Jewish wedding and we loved all the traditions that went into it, like the circling of the groom, the beautiful ketubah, the yichud (bride and groom alone time after the ceremony--we wish we had gotten some alone time on our wedding day!). You could tell how happy they were and of course it was no wedding without Caryn crying! Their rabbi made them write reasons why they loved each other and read them out loud--there wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Then we moved on to cocktail hour which was delicious! Ahi tuna, lamb lollipops (which I'm not ashamed to admit I stalked the poor servers for), mini weiners, gazpacho shooters, corn pancake thingies and an Asian station with shu mai, dumplings and spring rolls. Dinner was fabulous with beef tenderloin, Chilean sea bass, twice baked potatoes and broccoli. Dessert was awesome--we had mini sundaes in shot glasses, key lime pies on a stick dipped in chocolate and a yummy wedding cake.


Their band had everyone dancing and Caryn was a sight to see during the Hora, she was screaming and laughing! We had a wonderful time and wish the happy new couple all the best. They will be honeymooning in Australia for three weeks, yes! three weeks! And though it's hard to realize, Caryn doesn't actually live here anymore, she's moved on up to NYC and she will be missed greatly! Thanks for a wonderful time!
