Prigson Savings Time Weekend

To celebrate daylight savings time ending on Sunday, the Prigsons, spent their weekends apart in an effort to improve the overall Prigson experience. We each learned a little something about ourselves and the passing of the stars.


Priscilla


Priscilla, being the social media chair, spent the weekend at the 3rd annual Social Media Association Conference Consultation International Time, or SMACC-IT. SMACC-IT is held every year in the beautiful seaside resort of Hoboken, New Jersey. The Prigsons spared no expense to send our social media chair to the conference, hosted by Prince. Priscilla stayed in the highly renowned Hoboken Inn, which promises a free tetanus shot with every stay.

Priscilla reports that she learned several new social media measures to boost the already successful social media-ness of the Prigsons. She confirmed reports of a new social media network that allows complete submission to following your friend's lives. Social Time Aimed at Linking Kindness or STAALK aims to be the ultimate in social networking by December 2012. Priscilla signed the Prigsons up to be one of the first groups on the groundbreaking networking site. According to STAALK procedures, we should be getting our ankle bracelets installed as early as next June.

Rachel



Rachel, being the most caring and tender of the Prigsons, chose to give up her weekend to stay at home with the Gremlin. Gremmy wasn't feeling so well after accidently eating some tainted trail mix. Rachel knows a plethora of lullaby songs to calm any young one. Gremmy's favourite is a local Chilean song which translates to "Even if your black market value tripled, I'd still be hesitant to sell you."

Rachel is happy to report that the Gremlin is feeling much better. His fever broke early Sunday morning and was back to being his normal self by Sunday night. The Prigsons thank Rachel for her dedication and kindness.

Scott


Scott's weekend plans were cut short when he was kidnapped by the Staten Island Liberation Army. SILA has been seeking to become independent of New York City through violent means since the early 1970s. Scott was touring the famed Staten Island landfill when members of SILA pistol whipped him and shackled him to a stryker frame. After being held captive for 10 hours in a bunker under the Staten Island Zoo, Scott suffered severe Stockholm syndrome and took on the name "Staaten Eylandt". As Mr. Eylandt, Scott performed a variety of scams aimed at raising money for the organization. One of the most devious and heinous tasks was joining the Staten Island tourist association and convincing tourists in lower Manhattan to visit Staten Island for its "number of exciting tourist attractions."

Through a mistake in the changing of the guards, Scott was able to escape and took the ferry back to Manhattan. Overall, Scott says this wasn't his worst weekend in New York, at least he didn't have to apartment hunt.

Welcome Booth Baby!

Soon after Ruben's arrival from Williamsburg

This past Wednesday, October 27th, we welcomed Giovani Lee Prigson into our lives! He weighed in at 8 lbs 5 ounces and is 77 inches long.

Dr. Matt Wingo assisted in labor and delivery. As we carried him outside for the ride home, strangers cooed at his cuteness and beauty.

We are proud, excited and ready for the new challenges of booth-hood.  We will call him Ruben for short.

Ruben's first meal consisted of a stir-fry from Trader Joe's and some brown rice.

He's already on to solid foods
