Ice Skating In Wollman Rink

For my Christmas Party at work, we went to Wollman Rink in Central Park to Ice Skate.
It was great! I was worried that I'd fall, or get bored quickly, but I'm pretty sure all in all, I skated for about an hour! Not too bad!

Here are some pictures!
This is the whole crew of Argyle wearers:
Aaron and I stopping for a cuddle break
Me being silly... I was getting ready to split my legs and spin around in an attempt to impersonate my teenage idol, Kristi Yamaguchi.
This is just the perfect pic of Wollman:
The golden trees, the white ice, my pretty friend... the only thing missing is the buildings on Central Park South.

later!

Christmas Tree, Christmas Shopping, NYC style

I'll upload a better picture when I get home.. but here's our Christmas tree in all it's glory.

Went shopping for a few gifts this year, Mostly for Aaron and the babes.
One would think ( I would..) that on a Monday night, the stores wouldn't be so crowded?
Nope. Not in NYC.
Luckily it was around 50 degrees so I went down to Union Square, hit 3 stores there and then walked from 14th to West 4th and got my secret santa gift.
Good times.

I left work at 5:05p and got home at 9:15 p..

that took forever!

But I only have one more small gift to buy and I'm set!

Tgiving Day Parade in NYC

So, at the request of my high school buddy Anne, I've begun a NYC Blog just to talk about stuff I do in NYC.

Hopefully I don't bore you to death.
Here are some pictures of the Macy's Day Parade:

Macy's Day Parade schedule: Get up at the buttcrack of morning (before the sun is even close to rising).. 6:15 am. Don't shower, head out the door, walk to the subway, see some drunk person stumbling home, get on subway, lights are too bright, get to Starbucks, make conversation with barista about how much it sucks to work on Tgiving. I used to do it.
7:30, meet friend outside Starbuck's, take bus across 96th street to the West Side of the park. Walk from 96th street to 72nd, climb a fence or two. End up at 72nd and Central Park West by the John Lennon Memorial and pack in like sardines. Grumble a little about how this better be worth it.
In fact, it is definitely worth it!

Loved it!
