Left at the Lehigh Valley: October 2010

Never knew that there was a music video for this song but here you go!

Hello Readers,

So you probably thought Megomas (yes, that's our name for this post) fell off the Century Arch at 'Berg and was never to write again. Well we are back so there!

Actually Megomas has been in some serious time out due to these stinking apps and what not. BLEH! Don't get us wrong, at first it was awesome being grounded in the apartment, waking up to watch Will&Grace or an hour of Frasier on Lifetime (8:30 AM is Will&Grace, 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM is Frasier), having enough time to buff up at the gym for two hours, having easy access to our Bravo Junkie source. Yes, it seemed like bliss and it was.

Buuuutttttt after awhile, Megomas came down with a bad case of cabinfever and it's been bad. High levels of unproductivity, vacant stares, unvoluntary drooling that results from staring at a screen for too long (Thomas watching HGTV), constant wearage of fat pants and sweats, impulsive junk food binges (Meghan may have eaten an entire popcorn bag in one sitting), instantaneous sweating after checking bank statements and seeing that the past 6 transactions have been application fees, cap nap abuse.

We could go on but we won't. The rest is too gruesome to discuss on the World Wide Web.

Megomas has been trying to move on, to be strong, to get out! Meghan stole a weekend away in Happy Valley and watching Penn State play their worst Homecoming Game since 1958 (they lost to Illinois, 33-13...you know it's bad that when the game ends the stadium is already half empty and the band left), Thomas has been stealing moments at the Allentown Symphony. But despite our attempts, we can't run away...

So in our spirit of living here in Allentown, we will FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY post our apartment pics. Yes, home sweet home. Some of you may find them boring, but quite frankly, this is the world that we are living...

Next post sometime this week...Wilsorelli and the Great Escape!

Until then...try to lead more exciting lives than us!

Hello Y'all,

So yes, MegTom failed miserably to post on Monday but we are getting better at this game, only one day late (okay, technically it's Wednesday morning but we haven't gone to bed yet so whatever it's still Tuesday in our mind).

With that being cleared, we still have some catching up to do. First of all, we do intend on posting later this week so we will hold off on the "Bennifer" and SPOT THE FANNY PACK naming and answers in hope that some of you will POST BACK!!!! (See that trick right there, we are asking you to post back but in reality the red indicated that you will post back, so do it!) Quite honestly, we know that you are reading (thank you) but we would love love love to hear from you. So say it loud write it proud, post a comment! Please :0).

Well, now that we are starting to catch up on our very busy social life (haha giggles, insert laughter here) we will now give you an update as to how our homecoming weekend went. Given our proximity to campus, MegTom decided that was about time to host a social event, and what better way to air out the apartment and make an excuse to clean than host a gathering.

Sponsors for this event included HomeDepot, Weiss discounted snacks, and Shangey's (A.K.A. the most magical place ever...google Shangey's Emmaus, PA for details.). By the way, for all of you who have ever frequented a liquor store in the great state of PA, did you ever get carded? We don't mean, can I please see I.D. kind of carded. More like, I am going to make you stand here for five minutes while I look up your information via the two-finger typing method rather than ask you what your birthday is because I want to prove that I can read and research a data base for your information while there is a long line only to make you sign a receipt verifying that you are indeed of age and for real and then tell you have a nice day kind of carded. SO LAME! Whatever, we'll find another state-owned establishment that appreciates our taste for their inventory...

MegTom was thrilled to have been in such good company with both Muhlenberg alums and students alike. After a riveting football game against Gettysburg (woot Mules for winning in overtime), MegTom got the weekend started! Highlights included a dinner in the park (shoutout and thanks to birthday girl Liz for putting that together), gorging on oodles of junk food that we still have left over, dancing to Kim's outrageously awesome beats rocking from her i-pod, friendly competition, a tarp covering our entire kitchen, utilizing our spare fridge (thanks DD for the donation!), crashing on the nearest bed, couch, air mattress, or floor, and staying up until 6 AM on the porch in the spirit of good discussion and good times (Love you Kim!). We ended the weekend with a mandatory visit to Trivet Diner, where we continued to gorge, resulting in a mass food coma once we returned to decon the apartment.

Here are some brief glimpses of our homecoming weekend. Thank you all who came and for those who dared to stay over at our place. Next post soonish!

Until then VOTE VOTE VOTE on our Bennifer name and don't forget to SPOT THE FANNY PACK!

Love and misses and kisses and wishes and we're stopping this now,

MegTom
