Christmas Day Shenanigans.

It was a very Merry Christmas. The rents made their way up from the Bunny Hole around 9 and we opened presents. We decided to get cleaned up and then head out into the City. We had late afternoon lunch reservations at Mr. K's for Chinese. Gary was hoping to get a full Peking duck and a little "Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra" from the staff. But on the way we took a stroll through Times Square and wow was it nutty. Don't these people hang out with their families on Christmas? At home?

While Mr. K's was delightful and yummy and apparently quite famous, it was a total fail on the whole duck or the song. Eh C'est la Vie. Maybe next year. Off we went to explore the city some more. First stop Grand Central. What a beauty. We tried to hang out at the Campbell Apartment but being Christmas day it was closed. Boooo.

On to the next adventure. I wanted to stroll and check out the shop windows because I thought for sure 5th Avenue would be quiet since all the stores were closed for Christmas. I could not have been more WRONG. It was a MAD HOUSE. I shot a couple things and then almost had a meltdown so we headed back to the Village.

But before we left we had Chestnuts! They were yummy and we made up a song about them......

"Chestnuts roasting on Street Cart Fire
Jack Fraud nipping at your Puuuuuurse"

Yeah that's about as far as we got but we thought it was hysterical.

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.

June 18-It's a good day

There is nothing like an early morning run to give you a total attitude shift. The birds are singing, people are walking their dogs, houses are waking up and all seems right with the world. I know, I know, there are a few of you who will argue vehemently that running, at 6am no less, is not exactly what you would call a good time. But I beg to differ and I challenge you to try it. Just once. I am not going to lie, it's been a tough week. Work has been busy, I had a free lance job that had me up until 3 am on Tuesday night, I have been on an emotional roller coaster and I have had moments where I just wanted to crawl under my covers and hide. When my alarm went off this morning, I was surprisingly not exhausted. I made a mental note that I would just take an easy run. Start out slow. I was scheduled to run 35 minutes but since my run yesterday got ixsnayed (how exactly do you spell that?) I decided to try to go a little longer so I don't pay for it on my run Saturday. SO I hopp...
