A Taste of NYC

by Soliloquy on July 13, 2008

I know. I’m getting so bold to be posting pictures…. I can’t help myself. I figure my FACE is as much a part of me as anything else. I’ve put everything else out there – why not my ugly mug, too?

We had the most PERFECT time in New York. It really was charmed. I’m so grateful for my life. For the abundance and freedom we live in. I am so mindful to appreciate it. It hasn’t always been this way, and there may come a time that life feels a lot harder than it does right now.

If life is but a tapestry, these days are the bright threads contrasting against the darkness of harder times.

I know that.

Memories we collected from different parts of Manhattan:

Times Square

In a bike after Mamma Mia!

East Village

SoHo. Technically, NoLito (north of Little Italy)

The Tory Burch sandals I wanted were sold out in my size. Waaaah!

Little Italy

A pitcher of Sangria. Grazie!

Midtown

Drinks at a rooftop lounge on 41st and Madison.

Hell’s Kitchen

DR. RUTH! I wanted so badly to tell her about my recent conquest!

Alas, I am the epitome of self-restraint.

Chelsea

Gotham Comedy Central. Tom Papa was freakin’ hysterical.

30,000 feet

Last licks. Hmmm, pomegranate martini.

Operation Embracing Anonymity was another failure.

We were in the front row (thank you, Gold Medallion) and it would have been rather conspicuous to “disappear” at the same time. Oh well.

In all, it was a wonderful trip. While it kind of sucks when Spin has to be gone just about every week, the frequent flyer miles and hotel points came in nicely this weekend.

I have a few more New York posts I’m working on – news from the weird, an observation on the homeless situation there, yada yada…

For now, it’s good to be HOME.

Ugly mug? PLEASE! (sarcasm) You’re gorgeous, girl!

I have never been to NYC and hubby and I would love to go. We’re hoping to go for our 15th anniversary next year. Looks fun!

OK, I think I’m getting an inappropriate crush on Spin. He’s easy on the eyes ;) Honestly you look terrific and youthful and I’ve had it.

You guys are so cute! I love NYC. I am thrilled that you had such a great time. Dr. Ruth’s picture cracked me up. What are the odd’s that you would see the worlds leading sex expert after you recent adventure…funny!

Ugly Mug?!!?! Whatever! I really want to visit NYC. My MIL has told me she will take me on my 30th, but I don’t see it happening.

Looks like such a fun trip! A part of me will always be in love with big city life, even though it is 180 degrees from the life I live now. There is so much to do and so much to see — NYC is one of the most energizing places on Earth!
