Happy Whatevs Party!

This Fridaynight, Dan and I will be hosting our annual Christmas party/Open house to celebrate the holidays! Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah, Summer Solstice, Boxing Day…whatever you celebrate, come celebrate it with us!

Our funniest home video

Happy Thanksgiving! Dan, Jimmy & I challenged Ben to the Cinnamon Challenge! The goal is simple; swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon. The funny thing is, you CAN'T! Watch the video for the hilarious results! The look on his face is priceless!

We had SO much fun together this Thanksgiving- tons of friends, and even MORE laughs!

Holiday Hair!

To start the holidays off right, I had my hair done... RED!!! I love it!

Don't you dare mess up my folded towels!

Prince's greatest pleasure is laundry. He loves to climb into a fresh pile of folded laundry and roll around in it until it's a huge heaping mess. You want to yell at him, but he's just so darn adorable!

Oh Crap

I just need 3 friends to dress up with me...

Thank you for being a friend! How great is this idea for a Halloween costume? Next year I need to find 3 friends to dress up with me and rock out the Golden Girls! :)

Keep Being Awesome

Yeah... what?

Unintentional HILARITY

A guy goes to a Sarah Palin booksigning and interviews people waiting outside. I think my mouth was hanging open for most of this video. Wow. Just, WOW.

I think Winston Churchill said it best, "The biggest argument against democracy is a five minute discussion with the average voter."

Ben

One of my best friends from high school (that would be in Canada) arrived yesterday! Ben, and his friend, Marc are here for the week in NYC. They both live in Ottawa. Last night after they unpacked up at my 74th st "guest" apartment, we walked through Times Square (it is best seen at night!) here is a picture from my iPhone of me and Ben!

Craftbar

Last weekend, Cory came into the city to visit from Friday to Sunday. We had a lovely meal (prepared by Dan!) of chicken pot pie on Saturday night, with his legendary broccoli-cheese casserole. Then, we danced ourselves silly playing Raving Rabbids TV party on our Wii. Hilarious! Saturday morning we slept in late, went for mani-pedis, and then had brunch and Coronas at Harry's Burritos. After brunch, it was off to an afternoon of shopping on the Upper East side- first to Diesel, where I got a FLASHY pair of neon PINK stilettos!

After Cory and I busted the bank at Diesel, we crossed the street to Bloomingdale's, and perused the Louis Vuitton shop! I got an early Christmas gift too! tee hee!

We were all excited for our dinner reservation that evening, and even thought the weather was mucky and yucky and rainy, and blew our hair into our lipgloss all evening (don't you HATE that? Ladies, can I get an Amen?) we had an absolutely wonderful dinner!

I would be doing you all a great disservice if I did not take a moment to marvel at the magnificent meal we shared last Saturday night at Craftbar. Tom Collichio's flatiron district restaurant, Craftbar, has become one of our favourites, ever since Dan and I went there for our anniversary in July. The food was just absolutely amazing. Our server, Mark, was hilarious, and cracked jokes when Cory spilled her martini on the table (it was the snake ring's fault!)

Sunday, we invited Joe & Jon over for brunch, and I played a private concert on my white piano :) After brunch, we went to see 2012 at the Times Square theatres. Cory, we miss you already!

Totally Looks like...

This 2 yr old is really feelin' Michael Jackson's Music!

With Me and Dan being such huge Michael Jackson fans, this will probably be our kid someday :) ha ha

Artistic image of the day

What is this? Abstract art? An image of a ghost? Nope, you're wrong. It's actually a thermal image of a gentleman PASSING GAS, courtesy of NASA. uh...Thank you, scientists?

Friday's laugh

Any Star Wars geeks out there? Check this out! What Stormtroopers do on their day off

(Even if you don't like Star Wars... check it anyway. It's hilarious, and makes me want to play with action figures again!)

So ya know...

Sniff. Sniff. Great. Sniff. I’m (sniff) sick! Dan brought home a lovely little cold and shared it with me (how nice!) Luckily, it’s just a bit of sniffles, so it could be much worse, I know. I’ve been walking to and from work instead of taking the subway because with the rapid spread of flu and H1N1 (or as I like to call it, “hiney”…doesn’t it look like hiney to you?), it’s best to probably avoid close confined spaces with little to no ventilation, and face to face with 1000 other strangers who are coughing and sniffing in your face.

Coincidentally (isn’t it always) TODAY was the day we were both supposed to get our flu shots. But alas, one cannot receive a flu shot if they are feeling even the slightest bit ill. That means we’ll miss out on the FREE flu shot that Dan’s work is offering today, and instead, we’ll have to pay $25 each for a flu shot later from Walgreens. FAIL!.

The weeks have been flying by for us here in Manhattan- 2 weeks ago, we visited Dan’s family near York/Lancaster area in Pennsylvania. We had a nice visit AND his mom made us chocolate cake and home made pot-pie…mmmmm! On Halloween, we were in Philadelphia visiting some friends, and ate until we burst at Districto. Absolutely amazing Mexican food, if you’re ever in the area. This past weekend, we headed to the suburbs AGAIN for a baby shower in New Jersey. We did some shopping at West Elm on Saturday night, and bought a whole new bedding set: duvet cover, quilt, sheets, and tons of pillows in shades of dark grey, steel grey, ash grey, and white. We decided to paint the wall behind our bed in a dark midnight navy, and then we’ll have some accents of bright chartreuse green/yellow. Cool colour scheme, right?

On Sunday, we had a gorgeous 67F sunny day, and we decided it would be the perfect day for our little sidewalk sale at our old apartment on 74thst. We’ve sold all the furniture already, but we had some decorative accents, some board games, lots of clothes, paintings, throw pillows, etc that we weren’t bringing to our new place, so we decided to yard sale it and make some cash! Of course, we don’t have “yards” in Manhattan, we have sidewalks…

We set up our sale outside and priced everything at $1 and the smaller items for 25 cents. I know, cheap, right?! Right away, a lady came up and bought all of the artwork. She then proceeded to set up her OWN sale, right across the street from ours, and sell OUR paintings that she just bought for a dollar in HER street sale! Hilarious,right? I just shook my head and laughed.

Our new sofa finally arrived yesterday, so now our furniture is ALL here in our new apartment. I will post some pictures, but I don’t wanna ruin the surprise for Cory, who’s coming on Thursday to see our new place for the first time. We’re really happy with how everything came together- it’s very modern, and fits this apartment perfectly. Can’t wait to show ya’s!

Amazing Beat-box skills!
