Thank You for Knives, Forks and Spoons

What are you thankful for today? Me?

I am thankful that Mikey does not hesitate to put a turkey on his head

and let me take a picture of him in it.

Happy Turkey Day!!

This Time Last Year

I was hanging out with this awesome crew.

My Big Sister, bro-in-law (sadly missing from pic), niece and nephew.

I miss you (tear)

Another one.

p.s. Reason for the sombreros and piñata? Mikey threw me a surprise birthday fiesta!! Love him!!!

Delicious Sunshine.

{Disclaimer: This post belongs to the post below it. I haven't quite mastered the blog world

and do not know how to post a video correctly. please bear with me.}

It's cold and rainy outside.
I miss the sunshine and days when all I had to worry about was keeping my strapless dress from falling down.

I Like the Night.

Especially if spent with friends...

in a mediterranean themed lounge.
Even better, a BYOB mediterranean themed lounge.

Even better BETTER...friends, BYOB and friend wearing really cute tights in mediterranean themed lounge.

I Spy.

One good thing about it getting dark at 4:30pm...

I get to see what my neighbors are up to!

Leaves.

Lazy Sunday spent chillin' in my backyard.

Sneak Peak

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

The tree was just hoisted up this afternoon.

So excited that I got to see this beauty in the buff.

It was a totally wonderful and unexpected surprise.

Have a fantabulous weekend!

The Mysterious 40 Pound Bag...

Oh why, oh why is my bag so heavy? Could it be that I'm carrying...

01. Ken Follet's "World Without End"? A 1014-page book (hmm...).
02. My makeup bag? I do my makeup on the train...I live for the danger of applying eyeliner at 60 mph. ;)
03. Wine corks? Because everyone carries a cork in their purse, right?
04. My little Canon camera (not pictured - it's takin' the pic)?

Sometimes it feels like I'm carrying my life on my shoulder. Throw a mini Mikey, some friends and my west coast family in my big silver bag... and it just might be :)

Chinny Chin Chin

Boredom leads to...

drawing on our faces.

These are a little CREEPY.

eyeliner = hours of fun!

Ooooooo Aaaawww Ain't That Pretty

Went to Anthropologie in Rockefeller Center today.

Fell madly in love with their holiday window and store displays.

So per-ty.

We Like Birthdays, Yes We Do...

Saturday we celebrated Tall Paul's big day.

TP's b-day tradition...

The Brooklyn Brewery.

My new tradition...

Taking ridiculous pictures of myself in the bathroom.

I was feeling dramatic.

It's all in the hand. :)

Early Wishes

Again :)

Happy Birthday Mom!!

If I was there to celebrate your b-day with you

this is what we would do...

Sleep in late,

Brunch at Mon Ami Gabi (mmm...french onion soup),

Get a mani/pedi combo,

Then head to Town Square...shop, sip wine and relax.

Hopefully we can make this a reality soon!

I love you!

AND to my mom and dad...

Monday is their special day!

I love you both very much!

Penny-Pinching Paint Night

This is what happens when we are low on the dough.

Mikey paints with me!!

Hmm...maybe being broke isn't such a bad thing.

My final creation.

Mikey's masterpiece is still in the works.

I didn't know he was so serious.

I'm lovin' this artsy side of him.

Today is a Good Day

OBAMA

Happy Birthday JEN-NA-NA-NA!!!

Known as one of the most talented and passionate young women in all of New York City (well, at least amongst friends ;), a living thesaurus, mix tape virtuoso, a recapper that will make you wet your pants, the person I have on speed dial in case I need to betch! The one, the only, the snarky, Miss Jenna Marie. Happy Birthday Gorgeous!!

WARNING!

Continue to read ONLY (and I repeat, ONLY) if you have a raunchy sense of humor and a love for OVERSIZED anatomical objects.

Meet G.I. Jenna,

Bumble Buns and Me, Tits Magee (a Jon Bon Jovi groupie).

Friday night started off in Brooklyn at a Time Warp party hosted by friends, Morgan and Courtney.

(the signs says, "Marry Me Jon Bon Jovi")

Morgan was Kat Von D from the TLC show, L.A. Ink. Her and Jenna showed off their moves doing the Time Warp dance.

While Katherine did a little fluttering of her pretty wings.

Toward the end of the night, Morgan and Courtney declared me the winner of "Best Costume"! The prize...a Magnolia Bakery gift certificate!! Could it be fate!

The party ended and G.I. Jenna bravely lead the way to the subway heading back to Manhattan.

She used her guns to keep away stray hands that were constantly reaching for my gigantic bosom.

You would not believe the amount of gasps, laughs and looks of horror (okay, maybe you would) I got while wearing this costume. It was so much fun and...well...liberating walking around half naked in NYC. One older woman walked up to me on the street and said that it was the best costume she had ever seen! Me and my tig 'ol bitties were honored.

Back in the city, we skipped (literally) over to 119 Bar near Union Square. The old school music was playing on the jukebox and the crowd was shaking it up. We did a little shaking ourselves...

and posed with some strangers.

The night ended fast and it was time to go home. Katherine's sweet boyfriend, Ryan (Mikey's brother) came to pick us up and take us home.

Katherine was one happy bumble bee.

What a FUN halloween! Now, what to be next year?!
