hi errrybody
i'm having time issues! everytime i sit down to post something, it seems like hardly a week has gone by. yet, in other aspects (such as my work week) it seems like 7 days are an eternity.
we had another boring week/exciting weekend.
my long-time neighbor and close friend, jenna, came up to visit us this weekend. it gave us yet another excuse to go out and have fun. in fact, we realized on sunday that we have not yet had a weekend alone in nyc. i think i like it that way!
we set friday night aside to relax...we went back to the diner we visited 9,743 times last weekend (Midnight Express), for my favorite $5.15 cheeseburger. we also continued with the 80's theme we started last weekend (watched The Breakfast Club) by watching St. Elmo's Fire.
we went to luigi's pizza on 1st ave & 88th for lunch on saturday.
after saturday lunch, we went to east midtown to explore. we checked out Central Park & stopped in to a few places we hadn't seen before. we also stopped by sony, thinking that we would just show jenna the building...i had seen signs for the Sony Wonder Technology Lab before, but never really had a clue what it was. it turns out that it's a very fun, exciting & interactive museum. using a personalized key card, each person spends 1 - 2 hours going through the museum and messing with the different "tech" applications...the museum is actually listed as one of the top FREE attractions in NYC. i wonder who exactly pays for it...it didn't look like a cheap place!

after sony, we went to CRUMBS, my favorite cupcake place of alllll time. i previously had red velvet, grasshopper, half-baked & peanut butter cupcakes.
saturday night, jenna & i made some noodles with parmesan breaded chicken & summer red crushed tomato sauce. it was easy. (Actually jenna made the chicken so it just appeared to be easy)
I had never seen any of the 80's "brat pack" movies before this year...on saturday night we watched "Pretty in Pink," bringing my total to 3. so culturally aware.
on sunday, i saw my 4th broadway show this semester, in the brand new musical Memphis.
it was a great show, with some definitely talented people, but it didn't really do much for me personally. there wasn't anything that i hadn't seen before. (unlike each of the last three shows i've seen). nonetheless...it will at least be nominated for the Tony for Best Musical.

a family portrait of the candles we have acquired so far...i know...it's a problem:

i'm going home to see my mom, dad, brother, sister, sister-in-law, two nieces, two puppies & high school best friend this weekend! i am in desperate need of a good puppy snuggle
