Bush and the Republicans

8/28/04

As a Democrat I felt the need to show my opinion during the Republican Convention here in NYC. Nothing personal - I have friends who are Republicans. I just don't agree. That is the beauty of this country - we are free to disagree!

Consequently, on a totally different topic, I had to sell most of my furniture. My wonderful New York apartment on the Upper East Side is 400 Square feet and I packed way too much when I moved. I will miss my big comfy chair.



Lastly, on yet another topic (CAN ANYONE SAY adult A.D.D.?) Here is a pic of the water taxi I take to work. Does anyone really care anyway?

Smashin Sangria

8/23/04

My darling sweet friend Christine decided to cook me dinner. I love her!! I made the Sangria. It is my secret recipe. Not so secret anymore since I am going to post it for future imbibing. So, she made dinner. I made Sangria. It was quite the combination. Then, buzzed we played scrabble because I am such a nerd and I brought the game with me. Then we decided to take pictures with her coasters and re-live our sorority days. I used to have this pair of sweats back in college that had the letters on the butt. We reenacted the pants using tape and my jeans. Wow my ass looks big. Must be the camera angle. HAS to be the camera angle. Just keep tellin yourself that and you will be fine.





Smashin Sangria Recipe
750 ml bottle red wine
1 shot cointreau
1 shot brandy
2 shots vodka
24 ounces orange juice
1 cup club soda
3 tablespoons sugar (fast dissolving)
1 sliced apple and orange

Brooklyn Trekkin

8/14/04

Everyone who visits New York should walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Christine and I strolled across. The guy in front of us had a funny butt so I took a picture of it. Nothing is sacred here. Especially when I have a camera.



And, as an added bonus we got to see lots of people getting wedding pictures taken at the pier in Brooklyn. Went into the Riverboat Restaurant and had a midday cocktail (have I mentioned how I love those?). Overlooking the city skyline.. Christine told me that this is a great place to get engaged. She loves her man. Maybe he will propose to her someday here. Or on the Brooklyn Bridge. That would be cool. We will see!!

Took the Ferry back to NYC - the Water Taxi to be exact. This is the same boat I take to work!
