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!!

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.  While I don't r

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

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.
