Selling Candy

Yeah...so, my high school baseball team is raising some money by selling massive amounts of candy. They sent us each home with a case full of Reese's Cups, almond Hershey bars, Twizzlers, and Kit Kat bars. All but the Hershey bars are jumbo-sized...

Does anyone want some? It's $2.00 per candy. Order fast, before supplies run out!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

Guess what happened yesterday at about 9AM?
Two events. SPRING SPRUNG!
and ...IT SNOWED!

But MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH, how're the cowboys doin? Gittin' it done...?

...AND THEY'RE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR!

evan's mock trial team today won their competition...next week they're presenting the defense and they are in the final four! from his mom again.

Now That's Entertainment...

Nicole will be playing flute in the All-District band concert this week. And Elizabeth, along with her dance class will be marching in the RVC St. Patricks Day parade on Saturday while on Sunday her competition hip-hop class will be performing during the pre-game show for the NJ Nets at the Meadowlands!

just to let you all know...evan's mock trial team is down to the "elite eight" - only 8 teams left to compete for nassau county (started with 64 like the ncaa). next trial is next week...we'll keep you posted. his mom.

Toys in the Attic

Very excited .. 'Found' my original electric guitar (from the 4th grade) in the attic today. It's a 1971 cherry red semi-hollow body double cutaway red Harmony Rocket! I haven't seen or touched this guitar for a decade. Just plugged it in, nice jangle-y bright sound.

I logged on this morning eager to cast my vote on the new question...but...but...uh.
I have my own Question. WHO is that 2nd voter?
Question: Does anyone remember when Saddam Hussein was the only candidate on the ballot in Iraq?
Question: Have any of you heard Josh Grobin sing "You Raise Me Up" ?
Question: I haven't really paid much attention to bono, or Bono, or BONO or the last one. Do you think I should? Betty

Mike makes the team!!

Mike has made his high school Varsity Baseball team!! It's true that by this stage in the game only the best players are left trying out, and so as luck would have it none of them got cut (21 players)! 

Now the tryouts have morphed into practices... all we need now is some nice spring weather :)

And while we're talking about Michael and baseball, check out his very own blog (though you won't see any short 3 sentence posts on this one)  http://fantasybaseball-stats-projections.mlblogs.com/

$1 Hard Cover Books

Rockville Centre library book sale is ending this Saturday March 14. Every week they halve the price of books. I picked up some hard covers for $2 bucks each this Saturday. Hard covers will be $1 each starting sometime this week, paper backs under a buck. Picked up an Isaac Asimov History of Science and a collection of Mark Twain books.

i have nothing to say, but i just voted. do i have to do more?

Here's a Twitter/"TWIZZLE"............

Grandma Betty's Purim Brunch - Well, let's just say it was a Gastronomical Triumph! 'Nuff said......Ciao for now, Mitch

Save the environment

I was reading Seventeen magazine at one of my friend's house this weekend, and there were a few tips on how to save energy. One that I remember was instead of using Google, or whatever search engine you use, try using Blackle.com . It is powered by Google, but the screen is mainly black. It requires less energy to display a black or dark screen than it is for a monitor to display a white or light screen. There are so many little things that if we all did, we would make a big difference. Here you can find some more tips: http://www.blackle.com/tips/.

Oh, and just a few months ago, we started recycling! Finally...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is a very important day. It is someones birthday today. This is very special! Take a guess on who it is........................................................................................................................................................................................................
If you said Cooper, you are correct! Cooper is turning 7 today, or 49 in dog years. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER!

Yesss, today is a snow day! Over the weekend, i saw the Jonas Brothers 3D movie with some people. It was good, they even had a new song. They show some behind the scences stuff, and then parts of concerts. Much cheaper way to feel like your at a concert. $15 for the movie, or $50 + for the concert. I've also seen the U2 3D concert, and also the Hannah Montana one with Nicole. All of the previews were for other movies coming out in 3D. There seems to be alot, this must be the new thing. That's all for now...

wooot snow day

yea so i guess these things get addicting...especially since i love to ramble. so ok finally hofstra realized that with 14 inches of possible snow they'd have to close. what a shame, i wont be taking part in my nice long, ice cold walk from the bus stop to the campus. Oh and how can i forget..i'll really miss my bus buddies. you know, the guy who drools, the man who talks to himself, and the angry chinese driver who curses under his breath. Oh darn ittt!I feel like i'm getting spring fever early,oh well,I'll have to hang in there. haha -lauren's rant

hiii

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH my eyes are burning from all the reading i have ifvfmkSAvnjnvcufjv-lauren's mini rant

Endless Fire

We just found out that tomorrow will be a snow day, so we are all excited! Since it will be cold, enjoy this video of a fire we are having that I video taped. Although you can't feel how warm it is, just imagine it and enjoy the crackling sounds and flames.

I know some people think this stuff "is right up my alley", but it really isn't...And I'm no vegetarian either!...Nonetheless, Kudos to Grandma Betty (Perry White) Kassin on another superb issue of Shweky Reflections...Loved it all, but was particularly was impressed with the article on cuz Michael Barnathan - he seems like a true Renaissance man. (See, here's one of my problems here - I just spent 5 minutes looking up the word - can I jump from this blog to a Spellcheck Thing?)....Cheryl, What a great week of 2 Irish icons in NY. Beside U2 hitting Letterman for 5 nights, and some other performances (Fordahm University), Van Morrison is currently in the city - 2 nights at WAMU in the Garden + 2 nights at the Beacon + on Jimmy Fallon's opening show+ even doing Regis and Kelly on Tuesday morning...By the way, Sari just showed me the spellcheck symbol - Hey Mitch, welcome to the 21st century!....Nicole, got to get the lowdown on your trip to Philly....Jonas flick is out. Guess you will see it, if not already...Pete, will check out that MIT site eventually, and the way I move, I guess that means........?Well, Ciao for now,... .......Mitch
