Halloween Social

 

I hope you all enjoyed the glimpse inside the Social. Please return Monday so we can ease drop on a few conversations.

Tell me what really happened.

Everything is just as I suspected. (Elaine)
Tell me I can handle it. (Tara)
Come on over and let me show you. (Elaine)

It looks like you stopped receiving donations from four of your largest contributors. (Elaine)
That cant be right those contributors were my parents closest friends they helped start the foundation. (Tara)
I don't mean to be rude but have they passed on as your parents have. (Elaine)
Yes they have why? (Tara)
Well then that means the descendants stopped contributing. (Elaine)
Why would they do that they know how important the foundation is. (Tara)
I guess you and Tariq need to have a chit chat with your childhood friends. (Elaine)

 

How do you and Tariq contribute to the foundation? (Elaine)
We don't do it ourselves it comes from a trust fund. Why do you ask? (Tara)
You and Tariq didn't make a contribution this year either. (Elaine)
What !!!!!!! Now I know that ain't right that account should have plenty of money. (Tara)




 

Oh my god Tariq is going to flip out. We really cant have a Camp Out this year. (Tara)
Do you have a lawyer? (Elaine)
Yes Danielle Loren is our lawyer. (Tara)
That could be the problem right there. (Elaine)
What do you mean? (Tara)
Danielle was disbarred she told a Judge he should neuter himself in open court during a animal cruelty case. (Elaine)

 

The last letter I got from her office said she was being held in contempt of court we got one of those every other week. I don't remember a I'm being disbarred letter. (Tara)
Are you and Tariq going to the Halloween Social? (Elaine)
Yes were going. (Tara)
Just talk to Danielle when you get to the social, I'm sure she can help straighten this all out. (Elaine)
I better get going then thanks for all your help. (Tara)

 

Are you ready to call it a day EB? (Ken)
Did you find me a costume. (Elaine)
Yes, I took it to the condo during lunch. (Ken)
Ken if its something silly I swear to god I will fire you. (Elaine)
 

 Mean while at the cafe................

What are you doing here Mom? (Justin)
You called me son I came to see what you wanted. (Rosie)
I called you several days ago several times. (Justin)

I'm sorry I was busy this was the first free moment I had. (Rosie)
Cut the crap Mom why are you here?  (Justin)

If your going to be rude I can just go. (Rosie)
I'm not trying to be rude I'm just tired of playing your game. (Justin)
Fine,  I came because Lindsey told me Justine hasn't been in school? (Rosie)
Lindsey should mind her business and go back to Wisconsin. (Justin)
Why is Justine here with you? (Rosie)
Because I don't want her around Lindsey. (Justin)
 

Lindsey wouldn't hurt a hair on that child's head and you know it. (Rosie)
Why are you so sure about everything when it comes to Lindsey? (Justin)
Its that wife of yours isn't it she told you to keep Justine away from Lindsey didn't she? (Rosie)
Tara doesn't know about Lindsey. (Justin)
What do you mean she doesn't know about Lindsey. (Rosie)

(

I haven't told her she's here. (Justin)
Justin Lindsey is the love of your life.  (Rosie)
Lindsey was the love of my life. Now I just wish she was dead. (Justin)
Justin! (Rosie)
 

Look, Lindsey's betrayal really hurt me. The guys on the team teased me day in and day out for being faithful. I just kept telling them she loves me and I love her. When I came home and found her with that guy I wanted to kill her. When I went back to work I was in a bad place. I kept striking out and missing catches. The moment Tara walked into that locker room I knew I was going to be okay. Mom I love my wife. She didn't say or do anything special that day, she just showed up exactly when I needed her. When that photo shoot was over I was a new man that women made me feel like I could do anything. I knew right then I didn't want to live another day without her in my life. (Justin)
Then why haven't you told her about Lindsey. (Rosie)
I don't know how. (Justin)
 

Justin, Love is a powerful thing when its real.
If your really in love. The moments you shared with Lindsey will not harm your relationship it will strengthen it. Your wife needs to know what made you the man you were then and are today. (Rosie)
Why are you being so nice, Lindsey told you what happened didn't she? (Justin)
Yes she told me. But I'm calling this short truce concerning your marriage to make sure my grand baby is okay. (Rosie)  

Mom you are unbelievable. (Justin)
 I want you to be happy I really do.  I need you to stay strong and make the right choices. (Rosie)
I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth about me and Lindsey. (Justin)
Please know you can tell me anything, I love you. (Rosie)
I love you too Mom. (Justin)
Ring Ring  (phone)

Hello Justin Sporting speaking. (Justin)
Hello, Justin this is Natalie from Coffee Galore can we review the coffee order your placed yesterday. (Caller)
Sure hold on. (Justin)
 

I'm sorry Mom I have to take this call. (Justin)
Go ahead, I need to finish my chat with my Grand baby anyway. (Rosie)
Are you and Lindsey okay? (Justin)
I haven't asked her to leave if that's what your asking. (Rosie)

So the truce is over. (Justin)
Are you feeling better? (Rosie)
Yes. (Justin)
Then tomorrow starts a new day.  Talk to your wife. (Rosie)
I will, Thanks for coming Mom. (Justin)
No problem son. (Rosie)

 A little while later...........

I'm going to beat you Daddy. (Justine)
Don't count your chicks yet, I got another turn coming. (Justin)
 



Well don't you two look adorable! (Tara)
I do, Daddy doesn't. (Justine)
Whats wrong with Daddy's costume? (Tara)
Its not cool like mine. I told him to get the chicken costume. But he wouldn't. (Justine)
I may be alot of things but chicken isn't one of them. (Justin)

Let me help you with that. (Justin)
Thanks honey, you two are something else. (Tara giggles)
Dinners done. Are you hungry? (Justin)
No thanks, I'm going to take a quick shower and get ready for the social. (Tara)
Take your time. I'll walk the chick to Nana's while your getting ready. (Justin)

 Justin takes Justine to Nana's......

Looks like someone is all better! (Nana)
Were you sick Nana? (Justine)
No honey. I thought you were. (Nana)

WOW, I like your costume. You look like the baby chick we saw at the zoo. (Lucy)
Isn't it cool my Daddy got it for me. (Justine)

What movie is this? (Justine)
Nana says its a classic. (Lucy)
Its Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin. (Ryan)

Is everything okay Justin. (Nana)
Everything is fine Nana I'm sorry I kept Justine out of school. (Justin)
There is no need to apologize honey that is your child. Nobody told me to love these kids as if they were my own. (Nana)
I know you love her that's why I'm apologizing. She will not be missing anymore school. (Justin)

You looked like KOBE2 out on that court, Trey Trey. (Devon)
Thanks Devon, When did you get back. (Trey)
Late last night. I was leaving a squad meeting when I saw you and Reggie playing ball. (Devon)

I heard the cheer squad got new uniforms? (Trey)
It took long enough!  I've been begging for new uniforms and new routines since freshman year. (Devon)
I wouldn't know about the uniforms, but the routines look pretty HOT to me! (Trey)
  

HELLO did you forget I was standing here? (Marissa)

Oh I'm sorry.  Devon this is Marissa, Marissa this is Devon. (Trey)
Oh so now I'm just Marissa!  Not Marissa your girlfriend. (Marissa)
You know your my girlfriend.  (Trey)
The only thing I know is that I'm getting out of here so you two cant ignore me anymore. (Marissa)



Marissa where are you going you didn't say hello to Devon. (Trey)
Hello DEVON, Good bye DEVON. (Marissa)
Marissa what did I do wrong? (Trey)
Do me a favor and choke on your ball Trey! (Marissa)

 

I'm sorry Trey Trey, I didn't mean to get you into trouble. (Devon)
Don't worry about it I've been doing everything wrong lately. (Trey)
Is she really your girlfriend? You never mentioned her. (Devon)
No I didn't.  I guess I want to keep my options open. (Trey)
 

 Marissa has showered and returned to her dorm........

I cannot believe he was drooling all over her in front of me. (Marissa talking to herself)
KNOCK KNOCK (the door)

Marissa are you sure about this? (Liam)
Are you saying you don't want to take me to dinner Liam? (Marissa)
Yes. I mean No, I would love to take you to dinner but you have a boyfriend
and your only doing this because your mad at him. (Liam)
Your right  I am mad but that doesn't mean we can't go to dinner.
As a matter a fact I'm taking you to dinner how about that. Does that make you feel better?(Marissa)

You look amazing! (Liam)
Thanks. (Marissa)

Let me grab a jacket and my purse. (Marissa)

(Nana comes out of her day dream)
HMMMM I think I better call that child tonight.
Who knows whats going on up at that school.

As you all can probably guess I spent the weekend with my baby girl. This was the first time I saw her since I dropped her off at college in August. We went shopping and found a really cute doll size chair and a little wooden stove in Good Will and two Liv dolls at Ollie's. I helped her do laundry and watched her do homework in her little dorm room. I'm so proud and easy to entertain. (sniff sniff) I shot most of this story in her dorm room and on her campus while she finished a paper that was due. I really enjoyed my visit Synquis, thanks for letting me bring my dolls. I miss you and cant wait for you to come home for Thanksgiving. See you all next Monday!
