New (on the) Jersey Shore: February 2007
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Cue Canon in D. Don't invite us to your wedding! That's not what I'm saying, it's what one Argentinian couple said in a paid newspaper advertisement a few weeks ago. I wonder if its going to have the opposite affect and they will have no social life now. I wonder if this is my "year of weddings." Five is quite a few for one year, and, even though the majority of my friends are unmarried, I don't see it getting beyond this. Maybe. It's interesting to see how friendships change ...

New (on the) Jersey Shore: Who says you can't go home?
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007/09/who-says-you-cant-go-home.html
Monday, September 10, 2007. Who says you can't go home? I've been back in Minnesota for the past three glorious days. Today is my last day at home and boy, I don't want to leave. It has nothing to do with not liking New Jersey/Philly. I had my reasons for moving there and they still apply. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I totally can't sew. View my complete profile.

New (on the) Jersey Shore: Driving in New Jersey
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007/08/driving-in-new-jersey.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2007. Driving in New Jersey. The one thing I don't think I'll ever get used to is driving in this state. Particularly on the Garden State Parkway. The posted speed limit is 65. Now, I am not some sort of puritan who insists at going at or below the speed limit. I'll admit it, I'll sometimes push 5 to 10 miles over. You are nosing me to go faster when I am already going over the speed limit? As if your speed is the correct speed? It's okay to relax! Girltell me about it. i just mov...

New (on the) Jersey Shore: Say Chowda!
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007/10/say-chowda.html
Monday, October 1, 2007. I did NOT go to the Chowderfest, despite looking forward to going to it all year, since I just missed it last year. I like Chowder. I would've enjoyed trying lots of different kinds of chowder. I had other things to do, which I will elaborate on in another post this week. What's the strangest festival you've ever heard of or attended? Most reporters I know don't like covering the festivals, etc, either, but I did. Hee. Talk about an easy story!

New (on the) Jersey Shore: Frankie says Relax!
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007/09/frankie-says-relax.html
Saturday, September 1, 2007. I said it in my last entry but it was buried. So at the risk of sounding shrill:. You are on vacation. Not only that, you are vacationing on an island. Getting two cars ahead isn't going to do much. There's no other place to go. We are surrounded by water. Everyone wants to get to their beach/minigolf/bar/house as much as you do. Understand that. So please wait your turn. Gunning 5 cars ahead will save you, what, a minute? Look at your daughter! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

New (on the) Jersey Shore: May 2007
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. I regularly eat seafood without really thinking about where it came from. I recently became interested in my seafood's home area because of sustainable fishing concerns, but I never really thought about the people who collect the fish. Horrible, right? But how often do we really think about who actually brings the food that we buy in the sterile market? They erected this monument to honor all the fisherman who have lost their lives to sea. People regularly tie flowers to the r...

New (on the) Jersey Shore: SkyMall
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007/09/skymall.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2007. One of the few amenities left today on planes are the free magazines stuffed into the seat pocket in front of you. There are all sorts of crazy items, some of them logged in the comedy book SkyMaul, but the one item that is always ubiquitous that I've never been able to understand is the Pop-up hot dog cooker. Other unusual items for a home include a chilled shot machine. An automatic towel dispenser. A motorized pool lounger. For those days when just putting chicken into b...

New (on the) Jersey Shore: October 2007
http://newtojersey.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2007. It's been a year since I moved to New Jersey. It was a fast year, packed with lots and lots of craziness, like jughandles and impatient drivers, but also lots and lots of fun, like going to the beach everyday. Now the lights have been turned off on the island, the crowds have gone home but the ocean is still warm and the breeze is just right. And I'm not there to enjoy it. I will, however, continue blogging, on my personal website: Delawhere? I hope you are still checking thi...
