I Wish I could Quit You

January 22nd, 2008 I turned 32 and Heath Ledger died four blocks from my apartment. I think most people felt the same way I did, shocked. I was not a huge fan of his but still was very shocked and surprised. Now the speculations start and I have heard both sides if the stories. He was into drugs, he wasn't into them just OD on a mixture of meds. Who do we believe? I think I will believe Britney's comment, "We all never really die y'all". Thanks for those wise words Brit.
Nonetheless, here are some shots of outside his apartment taken from my camera phone on a sunny Sunday stroll in Soho.

2 more Days

Saturday!! Saturday!! Saturday!! Jon's flight arrives at 4:59 EST! Then after going through customs, getting striped searched by the NYPD, getting his bag off carousel 8, waiting in the cold for a cab, driving across the Williamsburg Bridge into the city, and finally making it into Greenwich Village I will get to see him at 6:00pm EST. I AM VERY VERY EXCITED!!!

Can you tell?

It's been 2 months since we last saw each other. And I'm guessing 2 more before I get to see him again. So far it's working but I can't lie, I would like to see him more often. Any one have any ideas???? Maybe I should be a flight attendant, but then I think of me freaking out during take offs and landings would not be a good way to soothe the passengers.

Chitty Cruise 2007

This year we did something different for the Holiday. We, 14 members of the Chitty Clan, packed our finest Summer attire and boarded a boat for the Caribbean. This trip was planned and organized my my Uncle Gary and Aunt Susie, whom did a wonderful job and we are very grateful for. We went on a Carnival Ship to Cozumel and Progresso. Here is our ship.I looked forward to relaxing and being in the sun. Sipping on Pina Colada's was only an added bonus. This ended up being the only one I had the whole time. The Chitty Women. (Mom, Aunt Charlotte, Aunt Janeice, Grandmother, Myself, Aunt Susie, Aunt Donna and Aunt Leah)Me and my parents dressed for our fancy dinner night. This cracked me up every time I saw it. All the horses/donkeys wore Sombreros. They looked so cute. I am sure they didn't think so. I think we should bring this back to the states. All Horses should wear hats. We ran into some bad weather while on the boat. We were supposed to have 4 days of Sun but only ended up having 2 due to a front that was coming in from the North causing 70 mph winds and 15 ft waves. Made it hard to lay in the sun, so we had to find ways to keep ourselves busy on the boat. Dad and I took a wine tasting class. We learned all about how to math wines with our food and what makes a wine red and white, blah blah blah.Uncle Sonny and I enjoying good ole Mexican Beer. We were trying to fit in with all the locals, but I think his outfit made us stand out a bit. Me and my Grandmother. She had a great time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 08!! We were ready to ring in the New Year with style.
I have never seen my Grandmother Dance. She had such a good time she couldn't stop.My Cousin Taylor and I.

My parents and Aunt Susie and Uncle Gary. Can you tell they are brothers?
Our Boat at the dock with the other Carnival Ship. I don't know how they park these things.1st time ever to hold one of these suckers. He didn't look so threatening with his little outfit on.
In Cozumel we went on 2 seater powerboats to a remote island. These were tough to drive and when you hit a wave it would send you flying in the air. Very exciting but made me nervous thinking that we could flip the thing at anytime.Aunt Susie and I relaxing in the sun after the power boat ride. This ended up being our only port due to the storm.

I love every night how our towels would be in the shapes of animals. They made us a stingray, Dog, Elephant, Rabbit and the Monkey (shown). This is my Dad's best impression of a monkey.The trip was great minus the sea sick and me having a cold the whole time. I enjoy my family and they constantly entertain me.
