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. ...

Coat Week-Day 7

Well I missed a few days even though I had these in the can. Ooops. Here is Day 7 of Coat Week and I saved the best for last. I think this is by far my most favorite coat. I love the color, I love the shape and details. I got it here in New York a few years ago from Banana. It was on sale and I have never regretted spending that money. I wear it all the time. It hasn't aged at all and neither has my love for it. What do you think? Coat-Banana Republic, Top-F21, Sweater-UO,Jeans-Uniglo, Boots-Wild Diva

Last long run

Well today was the last long run until the big marathon next week in San Francisco. Half the team is running the Long Beach Race tomorrow and my running partner is in Seattle so I decided to sleep in this morning and skip the final team run. I am kinda tired of running in Irvine and I really wanted to sleep in a little today so I made plans to run Back Bay in Newport instead. It was nice to get a good night's sleep and wake up without the alarm when it wasn't pitch dark outside. I called my friends Holly and John and they offered to ride bikes with me while I ran, and I am not one to turn down company, so I headed to their place and we took off. John was even pulling Chloe in the bike buggy. I don't know how he got up some of those hills pulling that thing. Give me running shoes any day. It was nice and overcast and the run was pretty uneventful. We all just chatted and kept it going forward. We turned around at 4 miles which just "happened" to be at the bottom of...
