The Girls

I always post these photos when I miss my friends.
Nothing like a bunch of chicks getting ready together
in the bathroom. We all went to an all women's college
and really appreicate our time together sans dudes.
I am starting to feel very sentimental these days regarding
our time together or should I say our time not together.
Everyone is either married or about to get married or busy
or living in different places. People are talking about babies
and jobs and taking care of our parents. We sound old
but we aren't or are we?

Black Out

Things bought during black out:
5 white candles, 2 bags of Salt n' Vinegar chips (??!)
Bread, Peanut butter, 1 Orange/Pineapple drink

Things consumed during black out:

Fresh goat cheese, Lard bread, Wheat bread & peanut butter
Water, 1 Vodka & Orange/Pineapple drink, 1 Margarita on the
rocks with salt, 1 Corona with lime (would have had more drinks
but ATM was down), 1 box of Good N' Plenty

People Hung Out With During Black Out:

'The stars will look great tonight' surfer type hitting on us guy
Belting tunes w/guitar but not in annoying way blond guy at bar

Things I Thought About During Black Out:

How is Bloomberg going to make this all about him and how he
saved all of New York yet again in a time of crisis?
Who can I borrow money from if this black out continues?
Why is my man not coming home to join me tonight?
Will the feta cheese I just bought go bad?
Why are there so many sirens and constant fire alarms?
Wow-there are many drunk guys walking around my neighborhood.

Animals I Hung Out With During Black Out:
Snot nosed, snorting pug dog drinking water from a shot glass
Fluffy the fluff dog on a leash running to and fro
Two dogs wearing green light sticks around their necks

Overheard Pretentious New York City Mom
and Child Conversation

Mom: "You hungry honey?"
Child: "No"
Mom: "You want your sweet potato taro chips?"
Child: "No"
Mom: "How about your palm pilot honey?"
Child: "Ok"

Mike? Is That You?

Sometimes when I listen to NPR and they jump
quickly from interview to interview with people
from Russia, India or Germany- the accents start
to sound cliche as if it's actually just Mike Myers
over there at the sound booth of NPR doing some
'wacky' impressions.

Gregory Hines died and that is sad.
