Sex and the City

Yes, I of course saw the most awaited movie of all time, well by women that is. I rounded up my 3 best girlfriends and we braved Times Square to see the Chic flick. We could have gone to a calmer quieter theater but if we were going to make an event out of it then why not go to the heart of the city. We had drinks before to celebrate. Cosmo's of course. We were all happy with the movie and enjoyed it. I am sure I will own it when it comes out on DVD.

Now before I moved to the city I was told by a family member, "You know just because you are moving there doesn't mean that you life is going to be just like Sex and the City." My response was, "duh!" I really didn't expect it to be at all, nor was I wanting it to be. But in the past 4 years there has been moments in my life has resembled not just that one show but other New York sitcoms like Friends and Seinfeld.

I have my group of girlfriends who we meet for brunch every week.
I have gone on my share of bad dates and dated the guys who wave their freak flags high and proud.
I have had random interactions with homeless men, celebrities, people from far and wide.
I have had my heel stuck in a man hole and had to stop traffic as to not run over it.
I have fallen asleep on the subway and ended up in Queens some where.
I have learned that I can run a marathon in heels if needed.
I have had racial slurs yelled at me by a homeless woman on a subway (not sure why she chose to make them racial but she did).
I have called 911 about 6 times since living here.
I have been sprayed by a wave of water from a taxi driving through a puddle.
I have had a bird poop on my head while on a date.
I have had my apartment broken in to and the only thing they took was a laptop, cantaloupe out of the fridge, and my autographed Kirk Cameron photo.
I have had my hands and arms as full as you can get with heavy grocery's and while walking home the bags rip and no one offers to help me but just stares at me.
I haven't seen a sunset, stars, or a rainbow in 4 years.
I have been in a cab that requires a crash helmet
I have had Mike Myers get me out of trouble with the NYPD due to jaywalking (When the whole time the cops were just giving me a hard time)
I have taken a cab to a shoe store and said the words, "And Step On It" because I had to get a pair of boots before the closing time.

and so on......

So yes, I understand where they get their ideas for these shows and movies. NYC is a person in itself and just living here it has made my life that much more interesting. I am glad I moved here and I will adore this city for the rest of my life.

I HEART NY!!

My Time in the UK

London was lovely, once again. This time we had better weather. I am not sure how they manage to get through the days when it's rainy and gloomy out. I need sunshine every once and a while. We had a few days of it which made it better.

Jon had to work all week so I had the days to myself. I could have explored the city or gone to a museum or something but instead I worked. Yes, I know, sounds exciting. It's kinda the plus and minus of being able to work from anywhere.

We did manage to take a few pictures though. Even the trash cans look friendly. Or should I call it rubbish bin. (I think that's right) I need to get with the lingo over there.
We went to see a movie while we were there. Kinda embarrassed to admit what we saw. It was by far the worst movie I had ever seen. The dreaded movie was Maid of Honor. I am not sure why we chose that one of all the choices, I think Jon deep down wanted to see it. Since the movie had been out for a while we saw it in the smallest theater I had ever been in. Where I am standing to take the photo is where the screen was. I laughed out loud when I walked in.

Not really sure why there were wigs that night. Someone just pulled them out.
I think the next time I will be there is in October. He will be in NYC for two weeks in August. We leave for one of those weeks for Puerto Rico. I can't wait! He's thinking that he will be able to get me in the water with the fish. I don't think he truly understands the fear of the fish.
