Someone's Been Having Too Much Fun Lately...!

I have no cause for complaint these days. Oh sure, I'm sunburnt and recovering from a sinus and throat infection but that was a small price to pay, if you ask me.

My trip to New York was glorious. It was best frieneds and booze and museums and bookstores and walks. The park, diners, 5th Avenue, shopping, baseball and family. Everything from the Japanese marketplace in Edgewater to Aces & Eights in the east village... The Natural History Museum was astounding - I'd never been before - and I really loved the Hayden Planetarium and the show there. One night was a cooking night with Casey and her sister, Delia and we made beer and cheddar soup you could die from- it was so good. I met my NY co-workers for lunch one day and it was delicious (Tratorria Del Arte). At Rockefeller Center, I took pictures for tourists and bought some chocolate for my parents at Teuscher and then I wandered into Saks across the street and pretended I could afford the Laboutins or a fancy watch. I met up with beer club, had pancakes for lunch, read four books, spent time with Josh, saw Wolverine, saw the Yankees beat the Angels, stood in Brian Cashman's office...

This is making me wiggle in my seat. I wanna go baaaaack...

My 30th birthday was at the end of the week that followed my trip and it made me realize, even more, how lucky I am. After being in New York with my best friend for a long period of time, I was riding pretty high on life so coming home to a few additional celebrations was overwhelming and I still feel like this all happened just yesterday, not over a week ago.

I did have to spend a sick day at home and some nights on antibiotics and cough medicine. I spent my most recent Saturday night in bed when everything had come to a screeching hault all over me and I found myself mentally exhausted.

One of my neighbors asked me what was wrong with me and I said "too much fun. It's a clinical problem everyone should have to suffer."
