Weekend Wrap Up

Well Mom went home yesterday...booooo. Don't want to get too far behind so here is a quick wrap up of our last couple days. Sunday: Church at Times Square Church-AMAzing. Music was so good, everybody was singing and clapping and now Mom wants to be a cool little old black lady. :)



After church we got tickets to see Mamma Mia which was just across the street but we had some time to kill before the show and there just happened to be a street fair that took up about 10 blocks of Broadway. They had food and clothes and toys and all kinds of stuff to look at. Not to mention the people watching. Oh the people. New York City is nothing if not a great place to just sit and look at people. So diverse, so normal, so weird.





After some walking, some Starbucks lemonade green tea and a street pretzel for my Mamma we took our seats in the cold, dark theater for Mamma Mia. Perfect for a hot NYC afternoon. The theater was gorgeous and we took lots of pics before the show started.








Mhmm no one has to wonder where I get it from any more. :)
Oh and by the way, the show was FANTASTIC!!!!! I forgot how much I love Abba songs. We laughed and sang and cried and danced. SO much fun!! I will definitely be seeing that one again and I know two chicas who will be going with me. So after more walking we decided on an early light dinner at a place called Barbounia. I had been there a few years ago and the food was excellent. I knew Mom would like it. We had Spicy Feta and Tuna Tartare and it did not disappoint.






Whew, another full day.

I just love your blog, it is a great way to end to my day at the gym. The photo's make me feel like I am there, especially the theater where you saw Mamma Mia one of favorite movies.

Sounds like it is all working out for Michelle and I couldn't be happier for you. Miss you lots!!

{You've come a long way, Baby}

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years.  It was so bare and crisp...

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.

Gray hair coming in HOT

Has anyone else had to come to grips with how much gray hair you actually have in the last few weeks? NO? Just me? Ok. I needed some color before we even went into shelter in place but a move, a job in Boston and then a complete shutdown of all no-essential services (Um that depends on who you ask) thwarted my getting into Kay’s chair in FiDI. SO here I am, easily 3 weeks past due and oh hey look at all those grays! The funny thing is it depends on where I part my hair as to how much presents itself. I have a lovely little patch right on the top of my head just past my hairline. So there will be no trendy mid parts in my foreseeable future. But if I go just a bit off center to the left you can barely see them. Although I am getting more and more around the temple, ear area so there is that.      I don’t even so much mind my grays. Yes it signals that I am not “young” anymore, well not in the 20-30 years young, but it doesn’t make me feel OLD. I like how I feel when I’v...
