Sheep!

Thus begins our weekend o' art stuff! Today Lance, Lola, and I had fun in Times Square looking at sculptures.

Well, I had a fun time. They mostly tolerated it and Lance gave me his gloves when my hands got too cold. A girl can't ask for more really.

5:30

It's 5:30 pm here at blog headquarters, which means Zoe and Lola are probably doing one of the following things:

Trying to get me to feed them.

(and if that is not an option)


Trying to get me to pet them.

(and if that is also not an option)


Knocking things off counters to check for gravity. (Zoe)

or

Taking dangerous things out of my sight range and eating them. (Lola)

or

Play fighting with each other. (Also fun at 2 am!)

or

Play fighting with each other, while knocking/dragging things off counters that can later be taking out of my sight range and eaten. (Zoe and Lola)

You should see what it's like at 7:oo am.

♫ On the blog again
♫ Taking a while to get on the blog again
♫ I switched to facebook and found it easier to keep up with friends
♫ But my brain is turning to mush and I need to blog again

*Key change*

♫ But it's not easy
♫ I'm out of practice being cheesy
♫ You see things have been pretty shitty
♫ Though it's great living in New York City

*Back to original key*

♫ On the blog again
♫ I've started posting here (http://www.sewuseful.com) so I'm already on the blog again
♫ But it's hard to write when you're as rusty as I am
♫ So here we go and it's on the blog again

Happy Fourth of July!

Okay, it's actually the 5th by now. In which case, Happy Anniversary to Kristin's Mom and Dad!

So Lance and I have seen some AMAZING fireworks displays in our years together. We've really lucked out in that respect. New Years at the Eiffel Tower, New Years 2000 from the outdoor chapel at the top of Fort Riley, Fourth of July at the beach with Betty and Al and with the Grandparents Sells in their front yard in Kearney There's always my personal favorite, the two years of fireworks on the river just outside our apartment in Cherry Hill. That was spectacular. We had to close the windows to keep the smoke from coming in!

Tonight we added to the list by watching the Macy's Fourth of July fireworks in the Hudson River. Five barges made their way down to 25 - 50th ish streets, as did all the viewers. It was exciting to see the families walking down 96th street headed for Riverside Park. I had other plans though. Lance and I planned to sneak up to the roof of our 35 story building and watch the show from there. The challenge was the roof is closed due to attached scaffolding for construction a few floors down. (Why they began such a project when they knew it wouldn't be done by the ONLY day most of the residents plan to use the roof is beyond me!)

But.... the door was going to be unlocked.

There might have been caution tape. There might have been signs. I might have cared if we were going to get another shot at this. But my mother always said you need to take advantage of any opportunity you can. And since I always try to do what my mother tells me...

With AM radio in hand with made our way up to the roof and promptly got stopped by a member of the board of residents. *Next few minutes of the story is omitted - it's really funny so ask us the next time we talk!*

So I'm not saying we succeeded in watching the New York City Fireworks from the roof of a building, much less our own. But I did find these really cool videos that "someone" took from what would have been a similar vantage point. That someone also just happened to have an AM radio right next to the camera. Guerrilla tourism from NYC! Enjoy!






P.S.

The Muppets are Funny Again!!!

Just saw this on you tube and it is fantastic! I read that this is part of a viral campaign for reboot that the Jim Henson company is doing. New CDs and a movie are on their way. VIVA LA MUPPETS!
Quick December Update:
Lance is working on papers
Kristin is working on everything else
Boggie looks really cute in his red flannel jacket and Delphi continues to tolerate us all until she can figure out how to open the food canister by herself.

Lance and I will be visiting Lance's Grandparents in Kearney,Nebraska for a few days but will otherwise be spending Christmas in New York. Presents and cards might be late but will be heartfelt. All we want for Christmas is health (health health health) and happiness for all of our friends and loved ones... though a pony would be kinda cool too. We *heart* ponies.

All the best,
Kristin, Lance, Boggie and Delphi
