After weeks and weeks of people telling me “she’s going to crawl any day now”, she’s finally done it.

I wish she would slow down. I’m not ready for this!

NY Trip Day 1

No comments

Sorry I am super late style with the NY trip updates. Life has been super busy since I got home!

So we flew out of LAX and landed in Newark airport. Our old friend Josh was nice enough to pick us up in his super clean G20t. It was MT, leather interior, auto climate control… I REALLY liked it! New Jersey is really REALLY green. The houses are all old and have a lot of character.

We went to dinner at Witherspoon Grill. GREAT steaks! The restaurant was right across the street from Princeton university, so we walked around the campus for a little bit.

Then it was off the our hotel in Times Square so we took the train.

Our hotel room was nice… 14th floor (which really means 13th floor!) and a view of 8th ave. We were so relieved to finally be at the hotel so we could sleep, but how can you sleep when you look out the window and see tons of people walking around at 11pm! So we went out to explore… and came back with a slice of pizza.

NY Trip Day 2

Day 2 was rainy… but that didn’t stop New Yorkers from doing anything. Tons of people were still out and about.

Our plans for the day were to walk to 5th Ave. and visit all the big name stores like Saks, Macy’s, Tiffany & Co… but this is the cool thing about New York – everything is so jam packed that the coolest spot to eat or shop could be on the opposite side of the block that you’re on, and you’d never know. We made it a habit of looking around each corner every time we got to an intersection – just to make sure we didn’t miss anything. So we found Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and a cool underground Apple store. Later that night, we went to see a Broadway show and had pizza again.

Street vendor food sucks

Times Square is CRAZY. At all times, there is a film crew filming something.

Random other pics from the day:

Here ARE some pics of the dinner I cooked up last night.

It’s fettuccine pasta tossed with butter, pecorino cheese, and arugula. I topped it with some jumbo shrimp and chicken in a pesto sauce. And because I saw some fresh large scallops at the market, I cooked up some scallops and put them on the side.

Missing Food

So at my work, we received a company wide e-mail.

Subject: Missing Food
Body:
“Someone took ______s Lean Cuisine stuffed cabbage last week. It is his favorite. The box was seen in the trash can and no one is admitting to eating it! We are a very friendly office and this is simply unacceptable. This might have been a mistake and if so, please make sure it does not happen again.

______ is now afraid to bring any more food to work, especially stuffed cabbage which is currently on sale at Kroger for $1.98.

Please replace the stuffed cabbage or at least make sure this does not happen again.”

I admit. I laughed. For awhile.

I showed this e-mail to a friend who shared this link with me:

Anybody out there looking for a cheap AE86? My old friend Herb is selling his daily driver… sounds like he put some good work into it and is in good running condition. Buy an ae86 owned and maintained by somebody who loves ae86s and not some kid who doesn’t know what they’re doing!
