...You're Sure to Fall in Love with Old Cape Cod

Hello Everyone!
So we would first like to apologize (especially to our dear friend the Sassinator) that it has been over two weeks since our last post.  LAME SHAME BLAME GAME (okay now we're just thinking of words that rhyme but nonetheless not cool).  Anywho, we have a lot to catch up on so stay tuned over the next week of at least TWO MORE POSTS (whoa we know, a lot to handle...1) Breathe 2) Sit down 3)Read and enjoy :0)

Okay so the first post, Part I, Vol. I Side A of our series concerns our "Bennifer" name.  We have received a lot of great suggestions and have narrowed it down to our top three:
1) Megomas
2) Wilsorelli
3) MegTom
BONUS BONUS BONUS: Megorelli

Annddd as a bonus one that we just came out with: Megorelli...mmm sounds like a great pasta brand.  Anywho, cast your vote and let us know.  We shall give you our final result in about a week.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way.  Let's get down to business (to defeat the Huns, Mulan anyone, no? Okay nevermind.)  So believe it or not MegTom not only left the apartment but we actually left Allentown to journey north to lovely New England!  We made a pit stop in CT for the evening and then headed up to Meghan's favoritest place in the world: Cape Cod.

So the first thing MegTom did after speeding merrily along 84 and 495, etc. was to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard to see our awesome really hip, sassy, and chic friend, Sassinator!  We had a lovely time trying to find Martha's wine stores, but we never found the vineyard.  Instead, we took full advantage of the all-day $7 bus pass and toured the island, ate ice cream on the beach, and fresh seafood on the dock.  It was wonderful to see Sassinator as well as our fellow 'Berg alum BH who met us for dinner.  Can't wait to see them again soon!

The photos of our vineyard visit are below.  As a preface for all multimedia in this post, MegTom would like to make you aware of our new family friendly game, entitled SPOT THE FANNY PACK!  Now, if you wish to play, let us know how many times the FANNY PACK appears in our pix.  We will give you the answer next post.

Consignment shopping: Thomas dressing like a "local."  Just look at that apathy.

Trying to keep it together at Vineyard Vines.  Don't worry, we cleaned Thomas us afterwords.

FANNY PACK chilling at dinner.

While we were sad to say goodbye, MegTom proceeded to have a lovely rest of the weekend up in Brewster.  Fun activities included, eating an entire blueberry pie, watching nearly the entire Season 6 of The Office, heading up to P=Town to catch lunch, gorging on local fishy fare, wine on the beach, two 500-piece puzzles, and enjoying small town New England life.  The rest of our journey is chronicled below...be sure to look for that sexy FANNY PACK.

Homecooked dinner in Brewster.  Mmmm crabcakes.

That's all for now.  Thanks for joining us, more to come soon, really soon.  No seriously we promise by Monday.

Wake Me Up When September Ends...

Hello Friends and Followers,

Well it is now almost mid-September and we are in denial...in denial that it is indeed September, that we both have a substantial load of medical/graduate school applications to complete by the end of the month, Meghan is in denial that out of the 206 cable channels the YES network is not covered, and Thomas is in denial that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter isn't butter (and in shock that there is a network devoted to the Yankees).  Please if you have any denial issues feel free to share.  It's like online group therapy.

At this point we have settled into our new digs.  We promise to upload apartment photos soon, we just need to add a few before we are ready...  Next post for sure!

As you might note by our changed blog photo, we celebrated our first day of NO school in style.  At approximately 11:00 AM on August 30th MegTom descended upon Muhlenberg College's front lawn and had a picnic until about 4:30 PM.  Activities included reading, fresh baked cookie munching, a lunch provided by the Sodexo (a.k.a. nabbed spoils from orientation weekend), music blasting using Thomas' workout playlist (i gots the ILLEST tunes, okrr?), napping, foot massages, and laughing at the freshmen coming out of Trumbower Science Building.  Yes, yes MegTom has been there done that, and now is allowed to sit back and watch with amusement.  For those of you who visited our campsite, we very much appreciated your company and we missed the rest of you!

So, what does MegTom have planned at this point?  Well first of all, we are now back to compulsive Bravo TV watching (which is always productive), competitively working out at the gym, and candlelight dinners.  (By the way Bravo's Thintervention is on at 10 PM tonight, new episode.)  The second would be those darn apps...mmmhmm yep we're working on those *gag.*  Annnd because we can, we are heading up to Cape Cod for the next few days to veg out and see some fellow 'Berg alumni!

But before we say so long, we have a predicament that we could use some help with. MegTom is trying to decide on the perfect "Bennifer" name.  Some options/suggestions from others include MegTom, Tomgan, Wilsorelli, etc.  If you would like to cast a vote, add a new one to the mix, etc. we would greatly appreciate the feedback! Voting will end at 8:30 Eastern/9:30 Central PM on some unknown date in the future.

Alright we're off to packing/I mean of course get a crack-a-lackin' on those apps.  Our next post involves our new favorite family game, spot the fanny pack.  Until then much love from Allentown.

~MegTom (for now)
