The World Wide Web

This year I planned to get an early start on my Christmas shopping. I began making my list for everyone in September and had an idea for everyone by October. One of my favorite things about the Holiday's is shopping. Walking the cold wintry New York streets, arms full of shopping bags, humming Christmas music and sipping a skim Chai in the red holiday cup from Starbucks. Seeing how we all are trying to save a buck here and there I decided to get online and look for the best deals. I don't usually shop online because it takes away the joy for me. BUT this year I am able to save so much by buying everything on the web. Although this is making me happy because I am saving money I am missing out on the excitement of it all. I went out today to see if I could top my Internet deals and it turns out that I can't. What do I do??? It's upsetting to let go of one of my favorite things and something that brings me so much joy. It puts me in the Christmas spirit.

An online shopper? Me? Where is the fun in that? I know some of my friends who are mothers shop online because they have no time to otherwise. Do you guys miss getting out there with the hustle and bustle? I guess if you have 2 screaming kids you don't. I am actually thinking of filling up shopping bags that I have at home and just walking around pretending that I am shopping. But then I thought, that's just silly. I do enjoy standing in the checkout line debating everything I have in my hand and making last minute decision with little trinkets that you find in bins close to the registers. I also enjoy the satisfaction of signing my name to the credit card receipt and exhaling with feeling of accomplishment. Those things are going to be hard to do without actually purchasing anything.

So maybe all of you can send me a list and money and I will do ALL of your shopping for you. Seriously. I will. No list is too long. I will ship it all back to you. I'll even wrap it because that's the kind of friend I am. It's a win win situation.

If I do decide to "fake shop" I will for sure take plenty of photos and/or video. It's sure to be a laugh.

On a side note: If you can, watch LIPSTICK JUNGLE on Friday nights at 10 eastern time. The show is on the verge of going off the air and it's one of my favorites. I am doing everything to keep it on. Also, Friday night I sat next to Brooke Shields and Lyndsey Price from the show. Brooke's little girls were there as well. She is 10 times more beautiful in person if you can believe it along with being a very sweet person. Just a little celeb FYI.

A Night in History

On November 4th, 2008 we elected our 44th President and our 1st black President. Although some of you may be upset about America's decision you can not deny that this is a wonderful thing for our country for several reason. I think this was the most watch election to date. We had an election party at Meredith's apartment to get in on all the excitement.
The moment this flashed up on the screen the city below rang out. There was celebrating in the streets and screams like when we won the Superbowl. It was insane.I feel that both candidates gave beautiful speeches. Kudos to the speech writers for doing a great job. Our new friends Tim and Rachel that just moved here from CA. Tim looks a bit like Jimmy Fallon, dontcha think?

London Round 5

Back and forth, back and forth. It seems that I spend more time on a plane than I do in one place now. I don't want to complain because I am finally happy and if it means I have to fly to a different country to see him then so be it. We are looking for a solution in the meantime so if any ones knows someone in London that wants to hire a little blond American girl let me know.

We had a great 10 days. It fun having someone who laughs at my stupid jokes and beating me to my own punchlines.
Last time I was there Jon and I happened upon a place that blew me away. It was an old public toilet, yes you heard me right, that is now a bar. It's the size of my nyc living room, which is tiny. While we were there last time we all of a sudden heard a piano start playing and a man in a top hat came out and started singing show tunes. I was in heaven! It ended up being open mic night Broadway style. So of course I had to go back this time around...

This time we brought his guy friends to witness it. They loved it.

Maybe a little too much...Here he is, the one and only Champagne Charlie. He is the host of the night and a fab tap dancer.

Halloween Night. We didn't dress up...or did we? Jon says we were going as an International Business Man and his girlfriend. Can that work? I know, I know, don't be mad at me. I wanted to dress up but we didn't do anything that required a costume.

I never get sick of this bridge. It's just so beautiful!!!!

My sweet Italian Friend Antanella. Antanella and Warren, aka The Woz. Great Friends of Jon and now me.
How many more photos can we take like this. I think we need to spice it up.
I often wondered if Robin, Batman's sidekick, was gay. My question was answered. Not that there's anything wrong with it....

Every year there are people that go as Knocked up nuns. Why is it so funny? I laugh every time. I really loved the guys on the far lefts tights. I need to get some of those.
