Now the Newport FUN!!

While we were in Newport for the wedding we managed to have a good time and meet tons of great people as well. It's nice to work with people you want to hang out with and travel with.
I got to drive by myself in a car. I was very excited about this because I never get to drive anymore. I blasted the music as loud as I could and sang at the top of my lungs for 3 hours straight.
Part of the gift bags was Newport Style Kettle Chips. We had to by 75 bags. Here is the car after we made our purchase.
We Spent one night after dinner at an old arcade. It was awesome. We were running around that place with tons of tokens trying our hardest to rack up enough tickets to buy the best prizes there. Why is it that we never seem to grow out of things like this??? I really had to have the plastic over sized blow up Yankee baseball bat.
Lori won the devil horns and Barb won the lip harmonica that they so both desired.
We made friends with a few of the groomsmen and Friends, of course. We also made routines to Total Eclipse of the Heart. The Kleenex adds a nice touch, don't you think?
Attempting to be Patrick Swayzie and Jennifer Gray from Dirty Dancing.

Why did I pay to have this done is beyond me. We were on vacation. We went out one night there and I thought that it was funny that the stamp they gave you said "Single". Like I need a stamp on my hand to tell me that.
Working at the wedding. It's tough, you always have your hands full.
Still working at the wedding, just having more fun now since it's almost over.

We all know I am an Icee girl. What is this Slush Puppie business??

Newport, RI

It's wedding central around here. We just did a wedding in Newport, RI. It turned out to be beautiful and fun! Here are some sweet details for you...

A Night with the Girls

Not too long ago the girls attended a party for a friend in the Financial District. It was a fun night. The apartment was directly across from the NYSE. We vary rarely go below Canal Street but this time we made an exception and ended up having a blast. Here are a few shots from that night.

A little here and there...

Here are a few pics that I haven't posted yet. Just random shots of my life in the city.
In the shadow of my city , I enjoy Frutti de Boscco gelato. I don't have enough shots of the landmarks. I will do a better job.Dave Dewese, Bethany and I giving our best Zoolander pose.
A night out with B.

Watching the US Open on the jumbo-tron in Madison Square Park while Bethany tries to study for the CPA. She didn't get a lot of done. We ended up going shopping instead.

No Kidding

This morning on my way to work , while wearing my favorite black heals, I had a problem. I stepped on the lone manhole in the middle of the street and got my heal stuck in the ONE tiny hole in the manhole. Now, this always seems to happen and you usually just give a little pull and you are back on your way. Not the case this time. It was in there. It was so stuck I was not going anywhere. I pulled and pulled and nothing. I looked up and saw traffic coming my way so I took my foot out and started pulling with my hands. Nothing. I actually had to direct traffic away from my show. I was screaming at the honking cabs, "Sorry, please don't hit my shoe", never once asking them to not hit me. I hear a little giggling coming from the sidewalk and looked up to see someone taking photos of me. Sure he could have helped me but that would be non- New Yorker of him. After 5 whole minutes of pulling, screaming at cabs, and contemplating what to do if I have to let the shoe go, I finally was set free. I stood up and blew my hair out of my face all to see now a herd of people gathered standing there applauding me. I waved, put my shoe back on and finished my journey to the office, whilst saying under my breathe, "Only in New York". Does anyone else find it ironic that this was a clip out of the Wedding Planner movie and I am in the same sort of business??? Anyone???

Warm Weather Please Don't Leave

I can’t believe the summer’s almost over. It seems like it just started and next week will are already into September. I haven’t even made a dent in my summer wardrobe. I have only been to the beach three times and have only ridden one roller coaster this year. It seems like the year has moved at a faster pace than I am used to. Before ya know it Christmas will be here and then I turn 32, yikes. I guess it’s time to start making the most of the nice weather and spend every second outside.
Here are a few pictures from a few summer time activities this year.
Going to the beach is easy from the city. We just hop on the train and 30 minutes later we are at Long Beach. Here we are enjoying a nice East Coast Day. Notice my non matching swimsuit??? Ya, that’s what happens when your luggage gets stolen and you have no time to shop for a swimsuit. (me, Angie, Logan, and Ayla) Never have seen these till I moved up to the North, but every time the water runs back from the wave these little white crab like things crawl back to the ocean. Freaks me out. Everyone tried to catch them, me, I tried to avoid screaming like a little girl. Yes, I got into the ocean. Up to my thighs. Logan cheered me on, as I was not going to let a nine year old show me up. Sweet Loo, she is such a sport.

CONEY ISLAND!!!!
I finally made it out there. Apparently they are getting rid of it. Not sure why, not sure what they are really doing to it, they might just be redoing it. Nonetheless, I made it out there. I went with a friend of mine who grew up in Long Island, so he is a pro. He made sure that I got the full Coney Island Experience. Nathan’s is a must!! It was established in 1916 and has the best dogs in the world. I mixed it up with a corn dog and fries. Ummm, delicious. The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel are a few more ledges. I think the Cyclone is a rush because you never know when it’s going to fall apart.
The Best name for a ride EVER This cat was in charge of this game. I swear, there was no one running it. Kinda odd.
