Clambake 2014!!!

Hello everyone.
Recently on the 16th, the Legion post I belong to hosted a clambake ran by the SAL (Sons of the American Legion) and it was fun!!! Every year the SAL have this fundraiser to raise money to pay bills and give money to a variety of charities that all three organization within the American Legion support.

Everything starts the night before bagging clams (which I stopped doing) and more preparing the foods and other things for Saturday. On the day of, the grills are set up and the beer truck is getting ready. Tables and chairs I think are done the day before. People are allowed to put up a tent to reserve a table. And as 1pm gets close the line forms and the food is getting heated.

The doors open at 1pm and I help at the entrance with my aunt. She can't do math so I am in charge of stamping hands, giving out the door prize tickets, and proofing those who look to young to drink. Once you go past us then you can go get your food and drink and listen to the live band and have fun until 5pm. Once it is over clean up begins and it goes fast. I love it!!!

It is always fun to see my Legion family and catch up on things and just pick up where the year before ended. I don't have any photos because  I was so busy running around between the table and going to Shoprite :/   idk anymore what to say. I can't wait until 2015 clambake and I will be able to drink!!! But I wont because I am a responsible adult!!!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon!

Been Too Long!

Hey y'all...
 I am sorry for the long absence. I have been busy with work and looking for a new job. I hope all is well. My life over the past month has been boring really. I am going to post something about a clambake that I recently worked at and what other American Legion functions I will be attending.

I know that it is back to school season and I hope that everyone whether you have started already or getting ready, have a great school year and let it have many adventures and full of fun.

A Year Later...

So, hope everyone has been doing well. I just wanted to post this say one thing...


    I HAVE FINALLY WATCHED FROZEN and I loved it!!!

 I know I am late to the "Frozen" party but it was hard to find! and it was the most popular movie of 2013-2014 thus far. Breaking records all over the world! Top Song, album, movie, and everything else!!!

I love the story and it is another interpretation of a Hans Christian Andersen work The Snow Queen. Disney has done a great job. I LOVED IT!!!

That's all I needed to say!!!

Goodbye Motown, Hello World Cup Final!!

Today is my last few hours in Morristown with the family. We usually make breakfast and watch my uncle's shows. I like to leave when it is still daylight out. Driving down Sussex Turnpike at night scares the sh*t out of me! We all just sat and watched tv and had bagels for breakfast.
 I left around 2:15pm/14:15 to get home in time to watch the final match of the World Cup, Germany vs Argentina! The game started at 3pm and let me tell ya, what a great game. It wasn't until the extra time that the whole game changed! GOAL!!! Germany took it 1-0 and is bringing home the win, trophy, and knowing that they could never go to Argentina.
 After the game was over, it was a typical night, ate dinner, and relaxed in bed. Nothing too wild and crazy! About to go get my friend from the bus station, drop her off, then come home and go to bed. I am so tired if someone told me to lay down somewhere I would.

Night y'all

Morristown Weekend!!!

So today is Saturday! And I have started my morning with getting bagels for work and working four and a half hours of bliss! NOT!!! After work I headed straight to Motown!!! My home away from home! My parents are from Morristown and most of my mother's family is still here. Da's and some of ma's family are in either North Carolina (mom) or Florida (both).
 I go to Motown once a month to visit and see my grandfather, the patriarch of the Bason clan. He is eighty-eight years young and still kicking! I go to stay at my uncle's who conveniently lives next door. I hang with the family from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon! Anything can happen when I am there. This trip is to keep our minds off of everything that has happened over the past week. Read my last post to see what I am talking about.
 My cousin Gabby and I just like hanging out and watch tv. My uncle wouldn't let us walk far places in Motown. She is like my mini-me. I taught her how to flat iron her hair, help her with her make-up, and let her play with mine since I have a vast collection. Today, I brought my collection so she can play with the colors I have and maybe teach her something new! I also bring my clothes and my laptop so I can check facebook and other things. And to, write these posts!
 Once I got to the house, little cousins attack!!! Can we do this, glad you here, SHANNNNNOOOONNNN is here everyone, etc... Big cousin Shannon, what can I say! We frosted cookies and watched movies until they had to leave. Once the craziness was calm, Gabs and I went upstairs to play with my makeup and do our hair before bed. That is what we doo!!

Night y'all stick around for part zwei!
