10 things that made me happy this week

1. Our updated blog...Jed gave us a much needed face-lift
2. Eating good old fashioned BBQ at
BlueSmoke with a friend we haven't seen in TOO long
3. Matt Girard NOT being in the bottom 3 of American Idol
4. Getting the laundry done before the rain, while I could still carry it, and having all three of the cheap, coveted machines available
5. Getting advice from the "plant lady" (the lady who waters our plants at work...creative nickname, right?) on how to nurse our
money tree back to life
6. Having cookies for dinner on Friday night
7. Learning some great make up tips and enjoying my calling in church
8. Jed making the bed in the morning while I am running late for work...he knows how I hate leaving the house without the bed made
9. Getting compliments at my new job saying that I am learning quickly
10. Seeing
Hosea from Top Chef at a cooking seminar at Madison Square Park

3 NYC moments
1. The rain. When it rains, it pours here. Pants soaked to the knees, rain hitting you at all sides, umbrellas holding on to form for dear life. Just not a fun place for people who walk for their commute. We joke that there is no reason for rain here...there is nothing to water besides people and sidewalks.
2. Seeing a lady getting her suitcase from the back of the airport shuttle, the driver assuming she was gone, get backed-up over...luckily she was fine and got up yelling and screaming at the driver.
3. A lady in the laundry-mat with 3 small kids, leaves the laundry-mat, then come back moments later with treats for herself (not willing to share with the kids) and lotto tickets for the two "older girls" of maybe 10 and 12 years old.


Gotta love this place!

You don't think our sidewalks need watering?

When I am hating the rain I think: dog poop, dog pee, vomit, ALL CLEAN now.
