New York City!

So I thought because this blog was inspired by NY, it wouldn't be right if I didn't include some the pictures I took there a couple of weeks ago. I had a fabulous time.... The weather took some getting used to, and so did the quick pace of the city...

Some of my favorite moments were making enchiladas with my BF Q... we invited over some of her NY peeps for dinner and cookies. Doesn't this look appetizing? Add a couple pounds of cheese, and you have a good time!

I loved seeing the NY stock exchange, the huge American flag is beautiful!! The craziest part was the man with the machine gun who was hanging out in front!! My friend warned me they would be out there, but I didn't believe her, but just as she said, there they were....

I also loved taking the "tram" across to Roosevely Island. If you are having trouble with what the tram is, think of the people movers at Disneyland (pre-death) before they took them down.... This kind of concerned me, but my friend said that no one had died on them yet, and if someone did die, then surely they would take them down. I was comforted. We affectionately named it "a piece of ghetto hanging on dental floss" that might give you more of a picture....

We also played frisbee in central park, which was wonderful, the only place I really played frisbee is at the beach, but because we were in the city, central park is as close as we were going to get to the beach.... People were sitting on park benches watching us. That was kind of wierd!

Okay, so I know that this is not the most flattering picture of me, but I couldn't resist! This is a picture of me with an "I love NY" shirt, but if you can't tell (and all of my BF should be able to tell, in fact that will be the test) the shirt is printed in Hebrew! Shabat Shalom!

Fire update

So as many of you know by now the fires that were blazing, have simmered down... On sunday I went to brunch at a families house that was right up the road from the fires.... Did they get evacuated?? Nope! I am stilled amazed that our neighborhood was evacuated, while homes right in the thick of it were only voluntarily asked to leave!! I have heard from other people that were close to fires, that they were not evacuated... Oh well, it really did make me think of what I would bring in case of emergencies...

I have a cat!!

Apparently, there has been some debate as to whether or not I really have a cat...
Well, here she is. She actually belongs to my sister, who named her Amos, but we just call her kitty... (here kitty, kitty). She is an outdoor cat which might explain the infrequent sightings... She just hangs out, chillin in the garage, or under one of our trucks. Now I suppose if you were a real skeptic you could just think that I pulled this picture off the internet somewhere, but I can authenticate the picture, and show you the spot on the carpet in the garage...
Kitty is probably close to 18 years old, so she doesn't get out much. So hopefully this will put to rest the kitty debate....
