Because, New York Part 5

You know for only being in NYC a few days, I sure have a lot of 'parts'.  But that is who I am as a person, a lot of 'parts' with a very loud mind but quiet-er demeanor.  I love me.

ANYWAY- 

I ended on Thursday night, after seeing my fabulous Broadway show!

Friday morning rolled around.  I slept HARD Thursday night.  I am not one to sleep through people bustling around a hotel room, I generally wake up.  But I woke up at 10:00AM! My best friend had already headed to work for the day and the other two were almost ready for the day! I jumped out of bed and felt so bad for them not waking me, they said I was sleeping face planted into my pillow and they didn't want to disturb sleep that hard, ha!  Plus, we had only met the day before so, I get it, they didn't know if they should wake me or not.


But anyway, I threw myself together and we headed out to find bagels, and wanted to have "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  The bagel hunt was hard!  We couldn't find any, I am sorry, we are in NYC and there aren't bagels?  People must be watching their carbs I guess...anyway we finally found bagels, and coffee and headed to 5th Ave. To eat our breakfast, and of course, capture it on our iPhones' camera.  



We then headed to our first Subway experience to go over to the meat packing district! So much fun.  We had lunch at Catch, fabulous place.  We then explored the West Village, Chelsea Market, Meat Packing District. We walked to the Hudson River and could see the Freedom Tower for the first time and New Jersey!

We then headed to the subway after a day of exploring Meat Packing.  I wanted to see Macy's on 34th street, because, New York.  Not only did we get to see the most amazing Christmas window displays, decor, but the Empire State Building too! Heaven.

SO this post is basically a photo album...... you are welcome.  After we explored all of the above...exhausting but amazing, we went back to the hotel to shower and wait for our friend to return so we could plan our dinner outings and festivities of our Friday night!


Couldn't beat seeing this sight!

4 Goodbyes...

If you are faint of heart...don't read this blog post. Death for me was a distant thought, I had seen it in movies, I had watched friends lose friends and family members, but up until the last few months, I hadn't personally experienced it, minus my great-grandmother when I was 17, she was 99 and healthy, just died in her sleep of old age and I was not close to her so I really didn't feel all the feels. My experiences started several months ago, some meant a lot to me, some were just weird and some gut wrenching. I was a nanny for several years, before I moved to LA 2.5 years ago, for many different families and usually ended on wonderful notes with each family when I parted ways, however, with on in particular mom, it ended not so sweetly. Her name was Kim, and I was basically hired to be her friend.  She was a surgeon's wife and had two kiddos.  She wanted companionship, someone to talk to and hang out with, she fast became someone I could tell all my stories ...

Giving & Thanks

Well....INSPO from one of my favorite bloggers whom I feel like I am friends with even though we have never met personally but we "follow" each other's lives from one big city to the other across the USA and engage with each other--- ALL THAT creepiness being said, her blog is  here .  ANYWAY, the whole point of that paragraph was that I felt, even though I rarely write/blog anymore, I should write a thankful/grateful post! I enjoy a good list so I will be listing these out- First and foremost, I don't care how gross you think I am but I am thankful for Almond Nog, Trader Joes' version of Almond Milk Egg Nog, don't know how it all works, but it's damn delicious and has been in my gingerbread ground coffee also from Trader Joes, every single morning this week!  Yes I am a sucker for seasonal flavors, I am what they call #basic, and I own it. AIR TRAVEL, even though I know LAX will be a complete cluster F tonight I am thankful that once I board...

Dating Handbook

I have a friend who is currently in the process of writing a book.  I won't disclose details because it's such a great idea I don't want anyone to steal it!  Anyway, I am heavily supporting, encouraging and offering my crazy input, grammar correction, etc. as he writes it.  He's a hilarious writer, I die every time I read an entry even though I know him & am biased, I know other's will love it, find it hysterical, and I can't wait for his world wide book tour and accompanying him, and I know he can't wait either...;) Anyway, in my world, I have been single for a long time.  Ready to mingle, for sure.  But single most definitely.  There have been a few weird in-betweeners, but you could say, safely, that I have not been IN a relationship since I was 19.  A decade, a DECADE of me time, a decade of not knowing what it's like to have someone in my life to call "mine". Or someone to spoil, dote, take me on dates, and all that sappy shit. A dec...
