Let's play another game!!!!
Good evening everyone,
I just had a nice visit from joe this afternon and from joey tonite. boy does he make me laugh. and it was good to see michael finally blogging. Another good day reading all your stories. kim i pictured the whole scene with Billy and you and your sweet mom listening downstairs. so funny. didn't you ever tell your mom that she ruined your life? i know i did but.....we won't go there.rick ,your rendition of growing up in the teklits household is worthy of a sitcom. you really should do stand-up comedy.but you being the baby i think the older sibs might tell a differant tale.
Still feeling ok. No problems to report. this isolation business is driving me a little crazy. when a nurse does come in i talk their ear offand they have to make a mad dash out of the room. i've kept visitors to just the bare minimum as recomended by the docs. just family and a few close friends and i talk their ears off too. soon there will be a support group offered at penn, named "the i just left Debbie's room" support group. thats why i enjoy the blog so much so thanks again for writing.
To answer alison's next question, What people don't know about us, thats easy but my close friends know the answer. I'm a little embarressed to admit that i'm still this way. ( but really working on it as i get older) If i get angry with someone or they hurt my feelings i have a difficult time continuing the relationship. I do feel like i will do anything for anybody but don't cross me. isn't that bad? it hasn't happened in a very long time, but i really don't like that about myself. Otherwise i'm an open book. Also i was a hippie, even had a volkswagon and wore flowers in my hair. I protested the war (not the soldiers bc my older brother was fighting over there)because of all the senseless killing. Also when i met my husband Joe he wanted to be a rock star (he played guitar, piano and harmonica in a band) I'm still not quite suer when he made the transition to being a lawyer. anyway hope you are all ok and that you are enjoying these last days of summer. will write tomorow.
love debbie

debbbbbbie,
shaun and i met a biking buddy for you in the er last night. he was the cutest ole geezer ever in the history of old geezers. he was riding his bike and took a tumble and was transported in. when his family arrived, the grandaughter told him that she was taking the bike to her house so he wouldn't be tempted to get on it again. i should mention that he is 88! anyway, when she informed him of taking possession of the bike, he yelled "you folks took my car, now you're taking my bike?" he paused an added, "that does it, i'm getting a horse. i got some cowboy in me and you can't take a cowboy's horse from him" shaun and i were rolling. he was so delightful and good natured. may i add that they cat scanned and xrayed him head to toe and not a lick wrong with him! does allison want us to confess something that would be surprising about ourselves or you? okay i'll do both. debbie first. i think people would be shocked to find out that deb sleeps with mr. peanut. as far as myself...if i put sesame seeds around my navel and gathered the excess adipose tissue that surrounds it, you would have a perfect bagel. also another shocker is that i can beat trudy duardo in tennis. i do every time i play her. xoxoxoxoxo.
ps deb, your blog was a hoot tonight, i totally see you chewing anyone's ear who comes in, can't blame you one bit! keep up the engrafting....you are always in my heart. xoxoxoxox
pps, shaun is hydrated and back to his good old self. ready to take on thunder and lightening...
Deb,
It took me too long to figure out how to post that my first post landed in the AM pile of posts). I am so happy that you wrote twice but it confused me as I tried to see how long it would take until you received it. So now that I know how this works, I will join the FODs in the tech world. What was I afraid of? I used up all my creative juices on my previous post, so I will end this saying have a good night. Sleep well in the arms of your family and friends. Everyone is hugging you.
Love,
Cindy G.
Dear Debbie,
We must have been born under the same star! (although I know we don't share the same birthday month we have so much in common) You are my hero..you lived the hippie life... amazing... I too am like you, if you cross me, it's over. It takes a lot to get me to that point, but I'm so loyal I can't abide folks who aren't. My collection of friends are as wide as the world but they all have one thing in common.. they care for others. I love to throw parties, have tons of people stay at my house, have been know to host 23 people for a full sleep over Thanksgiving.. now how an Irish woman ended up celebrating Thanksgiving so big I'm not sure! We once celebrated it in Ireland with 2 Turkeys we nick-named Hillary & Bill! lol. My Irish friends still celebrate it.. well if we can bring Paddys day to America I thought it only apt that the Irish should celebrate Thanksgiving. I love throwing surprise parties for people and have managed some good ones in my day! I'm a people person through and through and I'd be just like you, going absolutely stir crazy if my access to people was limited. Thank goodness for this blog, it must help to have the world at your finger tips. You sound in amazing form and I'm so happy you are having "good" days. Those little stem cells must be loving their new home. People are a little shy about answering our latest question eh?! lol... it's always easier to talk about someone else! I like the idea of fellow FOD with telling us something about you we might be surprised to know.. sleeping with Mr Peanut!! lol. Hello to the ladies club, it amazes me how big your circle of friends and family is. I think it's great that we are all learning to blog with you.. we are all so "hip" now.. of course my son would say it's "gay" to say "hip" lol... Well as you can tell from my blogs I'm very shy!! not... and if I was able to visit you physically I would talk YOUR ear off! being an open book it's easy for me to chat...and I love to hear of peoples life stories. As far as I see it everyone has had a facinating life because we have all had such unique experience. I love glimpsing into the lifes of your FODs and CODs.. I'm picturing that 30 acres outside St. Louis.. visited there for work once, loved the River, it has a spirit for sure. This blog to me has become like a reality TV show... it's so wonderful to see people share there days and pour their love into this for you... Well I better go or I will take the title for the longest blog away from Mo. Here are some ideas for future "games" Debbie....
Nominees for Awards for:
The funniest blog posting in the last month
(Sports Bra and Revamped sofa would be high on my list of nominees).
Questions we could ponder..
I liked Oprah today.. she asked celebrates "What would you tell your younger self" Imagine what advise you would tell hippie Debbie with the wisdome you now have!
Share with us a memory of one of your travels - I think that one would be great... because we help you escape from your room to all kinds of places....
OK, now I am talking your ear off... lots and lots of love, your visitor Alison.
Hi Debbie, I hope u are doing well it sounds like u are. Im fine i dont start school for a while so im just at home for now (well I have football of course). Im in eighth grade this year so Im going to be very busy with Comfirmation and graduation. Our football team is looking good so i think we will do good this season. The pools great i am enjoying evry second of it. I seim in it every day. Well tell every one I said hi And your always in my prays
Love,
Brendan
Alison,
I love this question game. MMMMMM... what would I tell my younger self. I would tell that skinny girl to stop munching on all those choc. glazed donuts because they hid in the body and explode onto the scene around 40 years of age! At this point if I try to hug someone my boob gets caught under their underarm.... I fell once and my boobs broke the fall for the rest of my body. My girls could use my bra as a yamaka (sp)on their head! My underwire & suck me in girdle sets off the alarms at the airport! Mind you, I started out as a nice 36B and exploded into a YIKES BRA with middle age. Those cursed donuts and cookies. They are keeping me out of my Jackie O dress!!!!
Debbie - keep riding that bike and I see if I can get you a Lance Armstrong yellow riding jacket!
MO, i LOVE cake mania! it's art imitating life for me! deb, i think allison is your doppleganger! seriously, she is you with a brogue! i am dashing out this morning and hope that you are feeling close to some sort of chipper, breathe deeply and know that you are amazing and loved by all of us. i still am laughing at your blog last night about beating the nurses ears! may i send you a gazillion virtual hugs.....and as many kisses. xoxoxo
Well Hello there fellow bloggers.
Spoke to my mom again this morning and she still sounds chipper. I am eagerly awaiting the ET sighting after work (she even puts her hood up). Glad to hear everyone is enjoying their summer.
Now unlce Rick this is gonna be hard to describe but heres my best. The Rip technique: Your gonna start with your left foot infront of your right foot, say 5 inches or so. Your going to dip your left shoulder so that the curvature of your back is appr. 45 degrees. So your left hand should be close to the ground and your right arm should be behind you (like a track stance). Your gonna take a right power step. You have to use the power in your corked abs to rip the right arm through. If this does not work, my personal favorite is to grab the offensive lineman by the back of his shoulder pads and pull him down, (id wait a few years for that one).
I will check back in a few hours
Hippee Debbie:
Could you really have been a hippie? I keep going back to the picture of you on the side lawn of our house in Kentukcy when you visited and Mickey was taking you out for the night. You hair was piled high on your head...was that after we ironed it...nowadays they have gizmobobs called "flat irons" that do the trick without having to put your head on an ironing board.
I would tell Debbie's younger self that life is mostly made up of relationships. As I look back and have moved around I would have to say that keeping all the connections of the stages of your life is most important. Obviously Deb, you got that earlier than I did.
Oh and about being angry...and holding grudges that is another fabulous Crispino thing we inherited. You probably thought it was Irish but NOT!
As for my travels...my heart will always be in Italy. My favorite spots second to Rome and all of it's diversity would have to be Assisi and Siena....quiet, tranquil towns set up on a hill overlooking that wonderful landscape Italy is known for....
Back to reality and off to work. Pedal, pedal, pedal today... :) Love COD Eileen
PS I love Brendan's blogs...he is so cute...the team though will do "well" not "good" and he knows I would have corrected that one...
PSS..Today is weight watchers after a long hiatus...I had a thought yesterday...do you think the 36 y/o female has a quicker metabolism than us Crispino's
...another thing to look forward to? HAHAHA
deb, tell allison how cute miss donna always looks, even when she's talking to herself.
Dear Deb,
Before my day gets away from me I am sending a hello. Glad to hear there is another good day ahead per Mikes blog. Keep the chin up. I wish time would stand still for a bit, maybe I could get caught up and know what I am doing in this new position. I barely am in my office when I get bombarded with questions that I no clue how to answer, my pat answer is I will get back to you on that. Maybe one of these days I might actually have an answer. The dog sitter is back. Yeah. Miss Trixie is no longer dependent on me to make it home to get out of the house, at least not for the next two weeks, then I don't know what I am going to do. The dog sitter is moving. I might actually have to leave on time on a regular basis. We will see.
I was talking to my sister JoAnn in VA this morning and she was asking how you were doing. She sends her prayers. Scott's going through a bunch of test these days. His stamina is nill. He was going to join cross country this season, but the poor thing can barely run a 100 feet without being exhausted. He had a cardiac stress done yesterday and the outcome was fine, but out of shape. He is also being worked up for chromosone X. Have to go. I write again later.
Love hugs, and prayers every minute of the day.
Jean
Hi Debbie,
I'm glad your feeling ok except for your back.Alison you sound like a wonderful person.I
am Debbie's younger sister.I hope we all get to meet you someday.
Pam
Hi Deb and all you FOD'S,
Well! Now your in uncharted waters. Artie here! :) I have given this new subject a lot of thought, and have discovered as an aging hippie and rock n' roller myself, I have no memory of how I first met "The Sweet Deborah". It's kind of scary, but I guess these things happen, as you get to be in your prime the way I am. :) I remember Big Joe! :). Living at Grammy B's and attending ND. There is a small recollection of some wild parties, at my future wifes home during those summers when he was home. A lot of warm wine and other unidentified substances. A very, very, very small recollection. :) All the cousins began getting married, and somewhere along the line Dear Deborah comes into focus. I think at a wedding or two. Maybe it was her own. I'm just not sure. One thing is for certain. I became a big fan of the the Teklits clan real early on. From the Patriarch to the Matriarch, on down the list of cousins, and there
significant others, including our Deborah! :) What a great addition to the family. Now we all have our own great kids! Thank God!:) And in the final analysis we have each other, the reason for family in the first place. The circle of life. That's all I can remember. Well it makes a good bed time story.:) Cathy and I are so glad you are feeling better and holding your own. We love you! :) Hang tough! Keep up the blogs!
Artie and Cathy
Can't blame you for talking to whoever comes in.. have you noticed whether or not they have a sign under the isolation sign saying "WARNING DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOU HAVE TIME TO SPARE!"I would be the same way..
took mark up to sacramento to his basball/conditoning camp and i guess they work out with some special trainer at Gold's Gym for part of the time, and yesterday some of the Sacramento Kings were there, in fact Mark accidentally took Mike Bibby's water bottle, so he was excited about that.
Okay, i think i was a slave in my life before,, really had strong aversion feelings towards the actresses playing slaves at Williamsberg, also, i am a closet snacker,, find myself grazing all day like a cow in a field, and i enjoy my boys music,, even find myself singing along with rap songs..mother f###### ans all!
there, i feel so much better getting that off my ever expanding chest..
Deb, by the way, how are you feeling today.. i still continue to pray everynight for you..love, mdf
...YOu know you hippies.. i remember my mother putting on her white gloves,wearing her pumps and saying.."come on kids, we're going to go see the hippies!" then driving up to san francisco, and walking down haight ashbury while the "real hippies" were sitting outside, most likely high as a kite, saying "welcome to disneyland!" to us..ha. hadn't thought about that since i read your blogs..mdf
Dear Debbie. You are so darn funny -- you are making me laugh reading your comments! And, I can't believe that you ever hold a grudge when someone crosses you -- I'd like to meet the person on the other end of that situation, even if it was a while ago. And, not sure when you became an "un" hippy, but I know when Joe did. He always looks so nice when he came home from work and to pick Jessie up at my house. Dressed to a "T" and hair cut so nicely. Ah, I long for those days. Wish I could be with you to talk your ear off as well. I could always give you a run for your money. Heading to South Bend yet another weekend --my grade school (8th grade) reunion from Our Lady of Hungary this weekend! Some of the kids (richer than us) went to Mishawaka Marian and the rest to Riley! Some I haven't seen since 8th grade. Should be fun! Write later - take care and remember I love you!!! Cheryl
