chillin in the 'hood

the weekend started off with a pre-shabbos trip 2 dunkin donuts. many exciting things happened there..for exampe we learned what types of coffee other ppl drink. (ok thats a lie, they didnt actually tell us). additionally we got 2 meet some nice little kids (can we saw first time for everything?) then after miriam learned how 2 parallel park when there were no other cars around (snaps 4 miriam) we got 2 begin the loverly shabbos kallah. friday nite passed w.o 2 many exciting things. or maybe something happened but i just dont remember ne of it. neways then came the big shabbos day. after chillin (literally..thanx mir i appreciate u) on the couch for hours there was a FLASH! and the lights went out. yaaaaaaaaaay ghost stories. then came the party woohoo pink feathers and then the lights came back on. in the meantime we found out that a tree branch had fallen on aliza's car and smashed in the passenger window which was really sad 4 her. but the police came and its all good.

the real fun happened once we got in the car. we got directions and started off on our merry (cautious bc its slippery when wet) way. issues hit in the middle of a country song sing a long. (well i walked in2 the bar passing out $100 bills..and it thrills...lalala) neways thats when we missed the exit to 495/manhatten/midtown tunnel. (no its not 495 from silversmelly altho we did get in2 a highway discussion about the many 495s..) neways me and batya didnt think we were lost bc we hadnt gone on the triboro bridge yet (yes mir, its a bridge not a highway) and then after much discussion and yelling we got shira's dad on the fone and he gave us new directions that involved something about exits 4 3 or 2. then we found the exit signs going up and not down. as in 7 8 9..then after much more discussion we found ourselves heading on2 the henry hudson bridge (yes i saw that sign w. my own eyes so no1 can tell us that the henry hudson bridge doesnt exist) then we found ourselves passing yankee stadium on our rite which is the way u pass it when u r going uptown..but like the wrong way...insert more discussion. more rain. more darkness. more time ticking towards 1:15 which is when the last shuttle leaves yu for stern. then we find ourselves @ a toll and we convince batya to head 4 a cash toll booth so that we can get directions. the dude in the booth was doing just fine until officer obnoxious shows up and starts yelling @ batya to just shut up and listen 2 him. then he tells her that he cant give us directions until she pays the toll fee. then he's mean again and she asks him if there is a problem and he asks her if there's a problem..then he gives his mean directions to debora and we leave. then we find ourselves searching for the mysterious streets that the officer told us 2 find. then we convince batya to make an illegal u-turn and then we turn on2 audobon instead of amsterdam bc none of us can read far enuf...meanwhile we keep calling the shuttle 2 ask them 2 wait for us and daniel offers 2 take us back on the subway..and then after passing 2 infamous drug mobiles we arrive @ the shuttle. park in front of it so they cant leave w.o us and bound on. so we made it out of harlem alive. wooooohooo!

now its late. i have so much 2 do 2morrow. like organize cranium games. and study. yea that 2 i guess. happy day of no labor every1! this is my favorite long weekend.
