Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm still here, I promise, but man am I busy.  Last week the baby was born and since then we've been sleeping in shifts and I've been surviving on percocet after a very difficult c-section.  I'll be back eventually with all sorts of New York-y things for you once I've had a chance to heal and sleep a little.

Halloween

Halloween in NYC was pretty hilarious.  The kids trick or treat from store to store instead of apartment to apartment which means we were not disturbed all night long.  I can just imagine the ruckus if the doorbell kept activating the dog every 4 minutes!

The best part though was the tweenager costumes.  Normally I am against 10-13 year old girls wearing slutty Halloween costumes but this year I was just fine with it.  Why, you ask?  Because it was so chilly out that they all had to wear coats, leggings, hats, and gloves with their costumes!  I saw a 12 year old in a playboy bunny outfit and the only skin you could see on her was her face.  Mother nature knew how to help out an exasperated parent this year!

I swear I will bring back pictures on the blog here soon.  I'm due to pop in less than 2 weeks and then I will be able to move around like a normal human being again.  That will dramatically improve my picture taking abilities.
