>fun day but too cold

January 17, 2009

>we went to the city, we should probably get our heads examined. When I got up this am it was -1ºF. Should have gone back to bed when I saw that, but I didn’t, I got up and went to the city. Em had her appointment for a facial, but what was my reason? Well, I guess I didn’t have any but I wanted to go with her. So I got up, put on a pair of long underwear, that I bought last night, and the rest of my clothes and came. It was a chance to wear the leather mittens I bought.

We had breakfast at our breakfast place then walked to Lancôme, walked! Further evidence of our mental stability, or should I say lack of? While Em was getting her facial I found a place on 72nd to get my nails done. Long and dark purple how do they look? I like them. Then I sent a text to Em and went to the Crocs™ store while waiting for an answer. I decided to go back to Lancôme I thought she might still be there since she was going to send me a text when she was done. As it was she was walking toward me, she hadn’t turned her phone on and when she tried, it was dead. Em got false eyelashes, she looks amazing with them and he told her how to do them herself, but I got the impression she is not sure she can do them herself, she will though.

So after sending a text to Tigger telling him mom’s phone wasn’t working, we went to Crocs™. Em got a pair of Black lined Crocs™ and I got a pair of purple. Then Em had her bra fitting but we wanted to get lunch first, we found this Mayan Restaurant called Cafe Frida on Columbus, it was excellent, Em got Flautas and I got chicken Enchiladas with Mole sauce. Mine came with a side of rice and beans, Em got to them before me, she every bite of hers and I at almost every bite of mine and half the rice and beans. The food was amazing and made fresh and quick! I wrote down the name so we can go back.

We then went to the bra store so Em could get fitted, I am not saying the name or where, when Em came out she said “Waste of time” she then detailed her reasons which I will not repeat here. Just say she was disappointed. We went to the mall at Columbus Circle, the cold was really starting to get to me. We saw a temperature sign on the Citibank (?) that said 14ºF, so what happened to the 20ºF forecast? I don’t think it made it to 20ºF, it certainly didn’t feel like it to me, and see my water bottle? That’s ice inside there and I didn’t get it from the freezer, I got it from a street vendor and it froze as I was walking and holding it.

Aside from the stops at Starbucks to warm up, I got a migraine from the cold, I also got chapped skin on my legs (That hurts) and to tell you we ended up with French Onion Soup and Glenfiddich at Annie Moores. There’s nothing left to say.

>Time for Tea

Filed under: Uncategorized — 2 Comments
January 7, 2009

>Rob at Inukshuk Adventure wrote a post about tea consumption. Then he asked if anyone else had their favorite mug for tea. I think someone else posed the question first, but that was where I read it.

Anyway, yes I do have a favorite mug for tea. Here is a picture. As you can see I took this picture after an evening of tea drinking and before I washed the cup. However this isn’t the only cup I use for drinking tea. I have travel cups that I use if I am ‘traveling’ (duh!) and I have a cup I use at work. That picture is to follow.

This is the cup I use at work, notice the two nice ladies. If you turn the cup you see what they are saying. Now, some people who know me will say that is not something I would say, however, my BFF (Em) would say that is exactly me!

>Almost forgot

December 26, 2008

>I have to start this so I have a post for today. I went to work, the train was empty and GCT was empty, it was kind of creepy. I will be back with more. Em is driving me crazy. I will explain in a minute.

The train was so empty I had a seat all to myself, granted a two-seater but still, it was nice. I told everyone at work I sprawled out and went to sleep. That wasn’t quite the truth but close! The Boss asked if I started to wonder if today was a holiday when I saw how empty GCT was. I didn’t, but that was because I knew a lot of people wouldn’t be there.

However, I was quite bored at work. Em and Tigger were texting me so that helped. D took the kids to see ‘The Tale of Despereaux’ which I wanted to see! So Tigger and I are going tomorrow. I left a little early from work and got home to find out that I am supposed to bring juice to the Bible study tomorrow. I really wish RP would call me on my cell phone for things like these. Anyway, Tigger wanted to go to the Verizon store, again, so he went with me. D had some things for me to get for him, I got some of them.

Em started texting me after I was home and on my computer, around 10:30 she sent me a text about the movie Marley and Me, then she sends a text that ends with “talk 2 u 2moro”. So I figure she is not going to text me anymore, so I go to BookGlutton and start reading in Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Then she starts texting me again around 11:00 p.m. just as I am getting into the book. I was trying to give as generic answers as possible, hoping she would get the idea and she just kind of went on and on, until 11:20 p.m. about her city, and her jewelry and being tired. Well, that is all. Now I am going to bed.

>Cold today too

Filed under: Beauty, Weather
December 23, 2008

>It didn’t get up to 50ºF today, it barely got up past freezing. This time when I went out to lunch I wrapped my scarf around my head. I did that because I wanted to keep my ears warm and I didn’t want my hair flying all around. However, when I was writing down my purchase from Lowe’s in my book, I noticed that it said telescoping snow brush, so when I got to the train station I pulled it out, sure enough it said it goes to 54″ so I pulled it out, it was then long enough to push all the snow off my car. There is still a little on top that is frozen solid, but the big ‘snow hat’ is gone.

This morning I sprayed my perfume on after I put the scarf on, I thought I got my neck but evidently some got on my scarf, every time I picked it up to put it on I could smell my perfume.

Brian and I have been e-mailing each other a lot. It started when I sent him the picture of him in Lake Placid, then today I sent him a link to my pictures from NYC with Em and Stitch and Fred. Then the e-mails got a little silly, so I sent him this picture. I am waiting to hear what he thinks of it. I also sent him the link to the rest of the Lake Placid pictures. I hope he likes all the pictures I sent.

>I am sorry I didn’t get to this sooner. The first thing I was going to talk about was how unbelievably crowded the train was. I doubt there was a single empty seat on it and this was by Garrison. That means of course the city was unbelievably crowded. It was like those commercials you see where there is just a wall of people walking at you, except none of these people knew how to walk. I was ready to tell them to get out of my city.

We had lunch at one of these metro cafe places and went to Strawberry Fields, of course there were a lot of people there, well you can see by my picture. I also took pictures of the Dakota, you can see them in the slide show I put on my blog.

We went to the Empire State building but when we got up to where you bought tickets the line was huge. We went to our favorite dinner place then to GCT for some shopping. I found a book for Em that was a history of Manhattan and she got me a pocket calendar. The boys got a book with cat pictures and funny captions.

They both passed out on the train.

>Sunday almost gone

Filed under: Uncategorized

>And I almost forgot to post. And I didn’t blog about yesterday and never wrote my review for Helter Skelter, and Tigger took the book so I don’t have it to refer to. Well I do want to post this one picture I took yesterday. All the pictures I took yesterday are in a new slide-show on the sidebar. We went there on Saturday and today is the anniversary. Then I am going to bed.

>Had a busy day

Filed under: Beauty, Miscellanea
December 3, 2008

>even though I didn’t go to work. First thing, I took Stitch up to school. Then I got the packages ready to mail, which included sending an e-mail to one of the recipients so she knows it is coming. Then I went to the post office to mail them, right before my Doctor’s appointment, and I would have made it on time, if I hadn’t forgotten my checkbook! Well, I had also forgotten the slip that said I got a flu shot so that gave me an excuse to go back and get it. The doctor gave me a scrip for an antibiotic and some Allegra-d for the congestion. We’ll see how I do with that. I dropped the scrip off at the pharmacy then came home, they said it would be about 1-½ hours so I wasn’t waiting around. Then I picked up Gwen and we went to lunch and the mall just to kill some time, Em asked us to get her something at Penney’s so we did that. Then home, then to get the prescription. Oh boy, I’m tired now and I still have to go to the meeting!

When I got home I saw a printout of the page from the Dutchess County Health Department about the “shave-off”. Tigger’s picture is on it! Click on his name to see it. He is so cute.

I got some new nail polish at the mall. Not at trade secret, at the cheap store, I don’t remember the name but I got OPI for less than $6. All I can see for a color is OPI Ink. It is dark purple with a shimmer to it. I really like it, Gwen picked it out.

Now I need to get ready for the meeting. I have to wash my face and brush my teeth. My armpit is, well not really hurting, kind of irritated feeling, I put witch hazel on it after I removed the hair last night, but it still feels sore.

>Last day of the month

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 30, 2008

>and I have not missed any days posting, I think. Anyway I beat the number of posts from last month. As I type this Snowy Bear is watching me. You would have laughed if you had been here when he fell of the bed I was calling, Snowy Bear Snowy Bear don’t fall! He landed on his face right on the floor. I had to rescue him. He is more fuzzy then fluffy now. He still looks good. But since he sits next to my pillow all the time and has been sat on a couple of times, it has had an effect on him.

I got a box to send that pillow to my mom. The one I got the day Em and I went to Tavern on the Green and got soaked to the skin. I still need to tape it up and address it. I also should put a card or something in with it. I also need to wrap up everything in the box for that other person I am sending stuff to. I am planning to mail everything on Wednesday since I have a doctor’s appointment that day and either won’t be going to work or will be going in late.

Today I didn’t get up until 1:00 or so. I feel much better now. Got another e-mail from Cookie. She is doing as well as can be expected. I still haven’t sent out her card. I need to do that. I think I will have to do that and read more in Helter Skelter after I leave here.

>I ♥ NY

Filed under: Beauty
November 29, 2008

>Yes, Em and I went to Manhattan again. This was another spur of the moment, unplanned trip. D had been saying no, then he decided to take the children flying. Some place where they can fly gliders or something like that. So he said Em could go to the city.

Gwen went with me to my book study this morning and P announced that it was our book study’s turn to help with cleaning our place of meeting. So as I was driving home I was telling Gwen this meant that her mom and I wouldn’t be going to the city, not that we had planned it anyway, then as we started to pull in the yard, Em was out there doing the Snoopy dance.

First thing we did when we got to GCT was go to Douglas Cosmetics. I mean the first thing after we stood in line at the ladies room. So many people there! I bought some perfume, and the sales person gave me five or six samples of perfume and a coupon for 10% off, don’t know why. Em knocked this big thing off the table and I was giving her a hard time about it, maybe he(I think it was a him) thought I was embarrassed.

Then we went to a couple jewelry stores, then we started walking down 42nd Street toward the library, Em wanted to go to the library and Bryant Park. As we were walking along past GCT there was this homeless man with a sign and he was saying, ‘If you could spare a dollar.’ I said, to myself mainly, but loud enough for Em to hear, ‘No I can’t spare a dollar, I just spent 90 dollars on perfume!’ She started laughing, ‘It is all about you isn’t it!’ Yes indeed, I am tired of doing everything the way other people think I should. I am a competent adult and can make my own decisions!

There were so many people (tourists) there. They were very annoying and I almost put a descriptive word before tourists. Well, its not really a descriptive word, I think it would be considered a verb! Another thing of note that happened was as we were walking down the sidewalk, in front of this hotel a man was just standing there, we had to walk around him and as we walked on I heard a voice, “DAD!” then a pause, then “GET OUT OF THE WAY!” Em says, well as least the son knows what is going on!

We had no plans, we just walked to Central Park, I got another headache, I have realized that the headaches I have been getting when we go to the city are directly related to the problem I am having with my sinuses. We walked back to GCT and then we went to Annie Moore’s. Em got a cheesecake from Junior’s to bring home. We got in about 7:15 p.m. and Fred was all excited about flying today.

I finished the necklace I was crocheting, I am not real happy with it, but I think it will do for the girl I am sending it to. I hope she likes it. After I send it and she gets it, I will post a picture on my craft blog, I am not doing now because I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Now I am sick, I don’t think from the city or Annie Moore’s, I think from the hot sausage I ate.

>early, and I cannot believe how freaking crowded this train is! It is like everyone in the city is trying to leave. I decided to go ahead and get the I-pod since I have enough money for it. The money for it is coming out of my other account anyway. You know the one linked to my amazon account, amazon, the people who are sending me $20 for the books I sold, Yippee! Between that and the money I put in it every payday and the coins I deposited there is enough money.

I feel like I am doing my part for the economy.
