Listed are the posts for September 2008.
With the Phills’ nail-biting win tonight and the Mets’ loss, the Phillies finally reclaim what is rightfully theirs: the top position of the NL East! Call me biased, but the Phillies deserve to have the NL East title. While I’ll take playoff berth any which way I can get it (beggars can’t be choosers) I’d [...]
This morning, as I drove to Hoboken, I listened to my favorite radio station, NPR. Since I was close to New York, it happened to be 93.9, WNYC. The Brian Lehrer Show played and he was interviewing Amy Maniatis, the vice president of CafePress. CafePress is a website dedicated to customized pins, tees, and anything [...]

I still have the hallways, kitchen, and bathrooms left to paint so I am by no means an expert on this yet. However, after completing one room, I have already picked up some handy tips that I believe deserve to be passed on. First things first, when you blue tape along the floorboard, you can [...]
As a die-hard Phillies fan, my Sunday was clearly dedicated to watching and cheering on the Phillies. Everyone knew what they needed to do: they needed to take the series. I think few predicted that we would actually sweep the Brewers, but now that it’s actually happened, it;s time to start thinking BIG! I’m ready [...]
Another tried and true favorite Halloween costume of mine is the Hamburglar. You can’t go wrong with this costume! It’s cheap and easy to make, not to mention the fact that almost everyone will know exactly what you are and compliment you for it. Trust me, I lived this. What you need: Prisoner costume (should [...]
I have been on the hunt for an upholstery class since I moved to the Philly. I’d love to purchase a vintage club chair, bench, or other funky piece on Ebay or Craigslist, then reupholster it myself with a wild fabrics. Here are two websites that offer exciting fabrics: Les Indiennes Shop Reprodepot.com If I [...]
Tonight I had the not-so-lucky experience of eating at Mama Palma’s Gourmet Pizza on Spruce street. Just driving in from New York, I wanted to grab a quick bite and the outdoor seating area looked quaint. I carried 4 large bags and asked to be seated at a 4-top table outside. Not one other person [...]
Halloween is one my favorite holidays, second only to July 4th. So, when September rolls around, which it surprisingly already has, it’s time to brainstorm for the perfect costume. I’m going to pull out some old ideas and new ones and help you find or make the costumes for both. One of my all time [...]
Meet Sam. After a string of apartments that didn’t allow pets, I became restless and sought the best next thing: taxidermy. I was lucky enough to find Sam at an AMAZING estate sale in Park Slope, Brooklyn. ($6 for the Ram, $50 for the necklace, a steal!) Adorned in his tribal necklace, I just didn’t [...]
