Lady Gaga

Dave got me a ticket to see Lady Gaga next week as an early Christmas present!!! If your not familiar, watch a couple of her videos. LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

The ladies I'm going with are dressing for the concert, so I'm trying to come up with Gaga style... Today I'm altering a dress I own. Hopefully it works so I can spend more on accessories. Her fashion is fearless and I'm a bit intimidated trying to create something.

Free Entertainment

This is more bragging than suggestion. I am a Dallas Cowboys Football Fan. This season I worked every Sunday and between keeping up with the house and my friends and family I sadly have not been able to follow closely.

Dave's best friend Sam is a season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles, the supposed home team. Sam called on Wednesday and offered us hit other two tickets to the Dallas v. Eagles game (he has four).

Yesterday magic happened and dreams came true as we sat in the first row of the second level on the 43rd yard line. My happy Cowboys won and are now #1 in the division!!!

Thanks again to Sam and Stef. Everyone needs friends like them!

Toga

I have again been neglecting my little blog here. We are having a Halloween party Saturday and I am making Togas for Dave and myself. I cannot sew. I am making my poor sewing skills work. With all the draping and pleating it covers up my mistakes and I have been double stitching the seams because I'm scared they will fall apart. These are my sketches, I'll post pictures when they are done.
Last year we had a terrible time finding Dave a costume. Did I mention he is 6'5. I was a nurse and the doctor costume fit him like a not so sexy belly shirt... so we returned it, bought a gunshot wound and he was my patient.

Our first halloween together he went as Chris Farley in that SNL chippendale skit which required his black pants, a t-shirt and bow tie. It was a last minute costume for me and believe it or not I just happened to have this in my closet...

I guess I need to get better at this seing thing before next year.

Oh, if you dont know me you cant come to my party, but I strongly recommend you look into the Henry David Ball in Philly, PA. It's $25 in costume and $60 without and it seems to be the inspiration for the gay pride costume ball in "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry." This kid was a blast, but Dave had to flag him a taxi, because taxi drivers are douches and wouldn't stop for him :(

Bowling

King Pin Lanes in EHT, NJ is always a fun night out. I am the worst bowler, EVER. If I break thirty its a good game. You can have as few as two people and have a great time. The food at the snack bar is great deep fried bad for you goodness and the sports bar is a great place to hang before or after a game for drinks.

Features: snack bar, sports lounge, private parties, pro shop, bumper bowling, billiards, bowling

The Driving Range

Ye Olde Masters in EHT, NJ charges $9 for abucket of balls. A bin of clubs is available at no additional cost for those of us (me) without a set of clubs.

Our drier is died, so the last time Dave and I had a day off together we put a few loads in the driers and went up the street to the driving range.

I am not an athlete, Bowling I'm lucky to break fifty! My fist time at the range I consistently hit 100+ yards straight out. Being the girl picked last in gym class I was stoked.

It doubles as stress relief. Call the ball by the name of a hated co worker or in-law adds yards and decreases tension!

The Corn Maze

One of my favorite fall activities is pumpkin picking. The farm we went to offers a hay ride with a stop in a pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, we did not realize this until after we had purchased some pumpkins at the farm stand. It was only about twelve (12) dollars and there was a really cool variety to choose from.

There were even a few, uh, "adult" novelty gourds. My boyfriend, Dave, of course had to have one that looked like male genitalia. Notice that it is not pictured because one of our doggies chewed the twig off the berries...

The farm also had a corn maze which doubled as a flashlight maze at night and a haunted walk. We went in the afternoon and I managed to drag Dave through the maze because his best friend's wife was also enthusiastic.

The maze was accompanied by a Halloween themed crossword puzzle with the questions on dead end signs throughout the maze. By the time we found the first sign the guys were racing to be the one who found the next. For six (6) dollars per person we spent about an hour running around like little kids. The only thing that would have made the place better is a liquor license.
