Friends, Food, Counter-Productive Announcements and a Big-A Tree


Last week, instead of working my life away, I actually played a little bit, and worked of course.  But here is what I did:

I went to Ender's Game with some friends (so fun and stressful, even though I have read the book) and after a stop at Shake Shack (of course) we were out on the street talking before heading home.  All of a sudden this police escort starts rolling by, really slow.  We were bugged, because we wanted to cross the street, and couldn't see any apparent reason why there were four police cars blaring their sirens.  Then we saw this:


The Rockefeller Tree!  On its' way to the Rockefeller Center!  Our outbursts of "come on!" quickly turned into delighted squeals and the grabbing of phones to take pictures as fast as we could.  And just like that, we were giddy like kids.

Then this happened in the train station:

I have no answers for you, but that must be important information.

Cue cute roommate pic with Abby.  Nailed it.
On Saturday I played again with my friends, and went to Brooklyn for the Smorgasbord.  It is basically a huge food flea market with tons of booths.  We did good: we all bought different things and shared.  So I did NOT leave thinking I was going to die, like I thought I would.  But I mean, come on.  The view of the City!

  1. You are SO in NYC when you get to see THE Rockefeller tree! This year when we watch our annual showing of Elf, I will point out to my kiddos that you saw the tree this year! :-) Also, I especially love the cute pic of your big group of friends. So much fun! (PS Love your outfit too. Bring that when you come. Prepare to shop.)
