It's Spring!

Well it feels a teensy bit more like it anyway today. I'm wearing a cute new skirt from G's Mom. Things are good here. My friend H from high school was here over the weekend and we did the town up. You should have seen her haggling with the the purse bargainers down on Canal Street. We went to check out the world trade center site as well. I swear I get all choked up every time I see it. That just will never sit well with me. Not that it ever should but you would think upon my fourth visit I could get through it without tearing up.

We went out to yet another very yummy Mexican restaurant last night with G's family to celebrate his Dad's bday. Who knew there would be so many yummy Mexican restaurants in New York? LA still takes the cake but I'm getting much more impressed by the Mexican scene here.

SLY does New York!

She came, she saw, she kicked some big apple butt. That's right, my lovely niece was in town this past weekend with her momma and my parents. We had an amazing time and I think SLY really loved NYC. She took the bus, subway, you name it. She was totally fine with all of it and didn't bat an eye. We all knew she was an out of towner though since she waved and said hello to everyone. :) I was particularly excited since we took her to this cute place called Alice's Tea Cup which she seemed to like. They sprinkled fairy dust on her as we were leaving and my mom got her a fuzzy pink magic wand. I think next time I'll just get one for myself too.

This week I'm trying to lay low since my best bud H from DC will be in town next weekend. I will be playing tour guide again which as you all know I love. It's fun because you get to do and see things you would otherwise not do or see since you wouldn't want to be thought of as a tourist. God forbid! So now I will get to spend the next few days coming up with a tentative schedule of events. G is sitting there shaking his head at how insane I am but hey, what can I say. I'm a planner. I refuse to feel bad about it.

Tonight we are going out to dinner with G's family since it's his sister's bday. I'm looking forward to spending more time with them. And they always pick some yummy place to go. I hope all is well with those who read this and that you are having a great spring so far. Love and miss you mucho!
