me in 2 minutes...

Today someone asked me to take no more than 2 minutes and write a few sentences about myself. This is what I wrote...
I talk a lot. But only because I have a lot to say.
I have a blog.
I notice things most people do not.
Case in point: I have a blog.
I lose things. I used to think I'd grow out of it. I am starting to think I will not.
I have the most amazing parents in the world.
They don't understand how I lose things.
I spend more money than I make on clothes/shoes, yet I would be perfectly happy to spend the rest of my life in a bikini.
I always spell check the word "genius".
I appreciate irony.
Music makes me happy.
I love the lakers.
I miss my puppy. A lot.
My friends are my world.
I love with my whole heart. If I love you, I love you unconditionally.
It is rare that I hate someone. If I hate you, you probably deserve it.
I love to laugh. I often cry.

bar, midtown, and jesus camp...

If I could make postcards of my holiday weekend with Leigh in nyc, they would look like this:

I don't know I think I may have a new side-business on my hands.

Anyway, needless to say we had a great time but as always it went too fast.

Here are a few highlights.

*ahem*

Thursday. Thanksgiving. We witnessed a young newlywed from Mississippi cry (real tears) and wander around the bar looking for her husband who had somehow gone missing. Don't worry, about 30 minutes, 10 laps and 3 calls to her hotel in Rockefeller Center later-he came stumbling back in. There was some discussion and then they decided to do what any intelligent adults would do.

Order a bottle of wine.

And we did what any normal people would do-watched in amusement as we enjoyed our cheese plate and grey goose martinis.

Oh to be a fly on the wall in that room on Friday morning. However he DID leave his wallet there so whether or not they actually made it back to the hotel I guess we'll never know.

Ahh to be young and in love.

Friday it was too cold to be outside, so after brunch we ducked into my new favorite dive bar for a drink-and didn't come out until it was dark.

We DID however meet some new lovely and and insightful new friends.

One woman (who drank "well vodka in a wine glass") was nice enough to inform us that "Alaska was in fact part of the United States and because of that they also celebrate Thanksgving..."

We also learned that you can catch some pretty big fish off of the Triborough Bridge.

Oh and the man on the far end of the bar-had he not kept falling asleep sitting up-I'm SURE he would have had some lovely stories for us as well.

All in all it was a pretty amazing day. However after listening to me sing Captain and Tennille's Love Will Keep Us Together and Dire Straits' Walk of Life (a few times) Leigh had seen enough of BAR-for that day anyway.

Rest assured I'll be seing "the guys" Monday's for MNF. Can't wait.

I wonder if Mike-the-Marine-turned-Broadway-stage-hand will be there.

Saturday and Sunday were followed by more shenanigans but you get the idea.

I hope you all had as much fun as I did over the holiday.

Mom see you Saturday.

Leigh-miss you already.

gobble gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday...wherever you may be!

Love and miss you all very much, and of course am thankful today and everyday for each and every one of you. I am one very lucky girl.

Mom-I miss you too! And I'll miss sneaking upstairs late at night for leftovers-because I still like them better than the real thing : )

(and I promise to take cabs all weekend-ok?)

And now for Leigh-can't wait to see you!

A little taste of what's to come. Get ready to get ready.

Syringes-and you know they'll have them...

ww(d)d?

Champagne...

and to NOT getting locked out of my apartment at 5am, ever (ever) again....

to giant water drops, hot homeless, fake wine, princess goldilocks, no-ssb, jammies, late night strolls, photo shoots, poses, DJ's, and adventures in mid-town...

Are you here yet?!

new hobby...

I have a new hobby.

Well no I believe the correct word is obsession.

I truly believe this may be the end to my dating life-oh wait-ha nevermind.

I truly believe as long as this thing is in front of me I will never be anywhere on-time again-oh wait......

Any of you who believe that you are "good" at puzzles-as I once did-I dare you to try this one. Last night, I actually dreamt about it. God. I'm cool.

Stay tuned. This is so not over.

Ok time to party prep!

Happy Happy Birthday Jill!!!

I don't think it's possible to list all the reasons I love you-but here a just a few.

I love you for...

knowing where this picture was taken

being (one of) the "best fans ever"

loving lists

weekends in the hamptons

knowing that we always win-always

eating at Stanton Social even though you hate to share ;-)

Vegas-need I say more?

beating a girl 2x your size in a beer-drinking contest because I told you "we always win"

*dOMinating

*salty bitches

*understanding my obsession with correct grammar

*having one contact-still!!!

*sportsfans

*hating sauce

*loving puzzles

*plans

*being a defensive driver

*duminating-not to be confused with dOMinating

*being a MOB-yes you are, don't even try.

*flat irons and eye liner

*half-time shows

*loving the Who

*"it means no worries..."

*RB <3's>

*always having 15 bags under your desk

*understanding that no matter how far back you lean your seat-beanie babies in the rear window eliminate any chance you ever had of being cool. At all. Point. Period. The end.

*loving someecards as much as I do

*hating strangers

*not being a "you know what"

*gdpd

*staring in our own broadway shows

*teaching me the dangers of flying-ice

*your iPod

*letting me order the pasta everytime-even when I say "promise me next time you won't let me order this..."

*appreciating water stains

*changing your shoes at least 3x's a day

*4-square

*being somehow related to my mother

*taking the L train in your Halloween costume

*asking me if I had something (on my birthday) then replying "shit" when I said yes.

*chronic earliness

*nicknames

...and remember, no matter what-4 simple rules to live by:

1. Robbers are bad

2. Murderers are worse

3. Drug dealers have people

4. NYC loves NYC

What more does anyone need to know?

To many, many years to come!

Today my sweet Jilly Bean-we drink to you.

Cheers!

I believe this could be it...
