New York New York

I can't tell you how much fun I had on my adventures in New York! I saw soo much in the few days I was there... even by myself....

Day 1: I spent some time sleeping since I took the red eye flight out..... Cynthia's apartment was super fun, and close to everything! You can see the eiffel tower from her apartment :)



Where I slept!




The View!


I got familiar with the area and where I could go and found myself walking walking walking.... ending up in the rockefeller center! check out this fun iceskating rink!



Later that night when Cynthia got off work she took me down to Little Italy where I got to experience the oldest Pizza place in the US. Lombardi's Pizza





We took the subway down .... hehehe


Look how cute little Italy is..



Day 2:


Now this was a HUGE Day! I started my day out with taking a stroll in Cental park on a horse drawn carriage :)




It was sooooo COLD! My driver Brendan, from Ireland!!













Next stop.... TIME SQUARE!!! Oh I forgot to mention I took the Subway all by my self up to Central Park (kind of a big deal)





One issue I run into when traveling by myself is ..... how do I get a picture of me in all these places.... my favorite tactic is..... find someone in a group.... the offer to take their picture, after that... then ask politely ooooh can u take mine tooo..... WORKS LIKE A CHARM!



The sky was sooo gorgeous as u can see from all these fun pics!




By this time I was pretty exhausted.... I walked all the way here from central park... I stopped and got some soup then started walking back to warmth (the apartment)

On my way I stumbled upon this iceskating rink..... hmmm I had already told myself I REALLY REALLY wanted to go...... but iceskating alone, how sad is that...... Welp I sucked it up and DID IT~ I was sure glad I did.... it was a BLAST!!! I even managed to get someone to take my pic!





Okay I thought I was tired after time square I was really really tired by now!! I headed home for a nap then..... Dinner and a movie!

Day 3: By now My friend Cynthia was off work so we had the whole day for fun! We started off with breakfast delivered! Gosh I love that part about NYC.... and we already had plans to go out for someones B-day that evening... we also thought we could catch a show and do some shopping.... we managed to do all of the above and it made for a memorable last day in the city.... tomorrow we had to head off to Virginia for training.... to top it all off we got snow!!

First stop shopping!!!



Then some Snow!!



And a show!





Later that night we went out to a club called Johnny Utah's but apparently there was a rodeo in NYC for some odd reason and we were not able to get in... second best thing was Hawaiian Tropics by Time Square.... it was pretty hilarious..... after we closed that place down we went to a rooftop club an danced the night away! :) Perfect way to end an amazing Trip!

My Girls



A common Joke around the office is me and my cats. ..... Im often referred to as the Cat Lady! :) I accept the mocking because I know what I get to come home to! My girls are the best!

WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!

Golden Gate University!

My newest feat is getting my masters in Taxation. Currently I attend my Advanced Federal Taxation Class Tuesday evenings and my Research class Saturdays. Today I stumbled upon this LOVELY bumper sticker. I don't think I will attract this kind of attention to my car, but I did take one for a good laugh! I might put it up in my cube at work ;)

Sound of Music Sing Along Hollywood Bowl



Something I would never have guessed I would do.... Attend a live showing of the Sound of Music Singalong at the Hollywood bowl..... Can I just say, it surpassed all my anticipation (actually I really didn't want to go) Boy I was suew glad we did, we only stayed for the first half of the movie, but pretty much laughed the whole time. Just imagine, entire Hollywood Bowl filled with fans of the movie, dressed up in costumes singing at the top of their lungs to every song. As if the singing wasn't entertainment enough the people arround us would get up and certain parts of the song and act things out as well as talk back to the movie. It was a little cult like.... for example when the Edelweiss came on the entire audience broke out their cell phones and acted as if we were in the middle of a concert. Truely a great experience.... so exciting I just might have to go next year. I highly recommend it! PS.... we also had amazing food! (courtesy of Debbie Oh)
