Craig is weird

We are not having twins...
and it is most definitely not "Craig's baby"...
 its not even "our" baby until he can at least make it to a single doctors appointment.
Its MY baby.

lets hear it for New York

Happy Holidays!
Thanksgiving was great. Parents and little bros came to the 212 to celebrate the holiday big city style... which includes eating out-TWICE, a nice movie showing of The Blind Side (so ridiculously good) attending a pie party at my friends apartment, walking around the city, Bryant Park, searching for the perfect cashmere sweater to make Crew happy (what 14 year olds wear cashmere?) and enjoying the GORGEOUS weather.... so nice, so lucky.
So it was a fabulous holiday. Good times. I might push harder in the future for the home cooked thanksgiving at home though... I missed homemade rolls and eating all day with naps and games in between servings. heavenly.

Seth and Amy

Goldman Sachs, the bank Craig works for is being hated on so hard right now. Their PR people might need a little bit of help. The people with all the money are definitely the bad guys these days and Goldman Sachs is not making things easier for themselves... but alas they pay the bills. And thank goodness for that.
Anyway, Seth and Amy on SNL had some fun jabbing at Goldman Sachs recently. annnddd...It was pretty hilarious.

BOY, I SURE DO FEEL GOOD TODAY!

My dad used to annoyingly make me say this in the morning when it was very apparent that I wasn't feeling so chipper that day...

And no matter how annoying it was and how hard I tried to prove that his obnoxious jubilee so early in the morning was VERY unwelcome... it never failed to put a smile on my face.

It is funny the things that stick with you when you leave home.  Something so small continues to put a smile on my face on rough mornings.

I think I need to hang it in on a wall somewhere- and force myself to repeat it until I believe it.

And I should make that happen before the great depression also known as winter arrives.

BOY, I SURE DO FEEL GOOD TODAY!

T Mobile Twin

I have blogged too much today but I have to post this before I forget!

A few weeks ago on my way home from work I passed by T Mobile. I have passed this store many times in the past year and have never paid any attention to it.... until this one day something caught my eye.

I see I giant picture on the wall that looks exactly like me!

So then I told a few friends and my husband that there is a picture in the T Mobile store of a girl that looks just like me. They thought I was crazy.  And every time we passed a picture of a super model they would say, "Hey she does look like you!" Funny.

 But they were too shocked when they saw the real deal.

The view from afar that caught my eye...

And the closer I got... the more I thought she looked like me!

Same haircut. Same hair color.  Same cheeks. Hmmm. Suspicious.

Terrible pictures. But does she not resemble me?

You should see if I am on the wall at your local T Mobile and tell me what you think.

I'm a little creeped out by it personally.

NYC Marathon

On Sunday my good friend Megan ran the NYC Marathon.

She has been training like a rockstar for months so we could not wait to cheer her on!

Yes those are cow bells.

Spotted. There she is! And she kind of breaks down at the sight of us...

Tears of joy of course.

It was kind of amazing and we all had some tears in our eyes.

We were at mile 24... so you can imagine how exhausted and overwhelmed she was.

We were so happy she stopped so we could give her hugs and a huge push to the finish line.

And her hubby ran it with her a few years ago but he couldn't this year.

We were all making cheesy noises... it was a very tear jerking reunion.

Then we had to run through the woods to meet her at the finish line...

And she did it! She finished the marathon for the second time.

Amazing.

And here are most of the amazing friends that came to cheer her on.

We love you Megan and we are SO SO proud of you!

You say you will never do it again and we kind of don't believe you...

It was so great cheering you on and you bet we will all be there next time!

PS Happy birthday tomorrow!

And the ridiculous part of this story is that I was so exhausted just watching people run that I went home and was asleep by 7:30.

Just after I had some pokemon mac and cheese.

No exaggeration. True story.
