sticky tape

sirus just turned 3. on friday. he is too cute to be 3!



one of the cute things he does, and yet more evidence that he is male is that he thinks tape will fix everything. specifically "sticky tape". the kids were playing in the box that the new kitchen chairs came in. it tore all down the side and the first thing sirus asked for was sticky tape to fix it. so cute.

yes, new kitchen chairs to go with the brand new grown up style kitchen table. we were in NYC from Sept 9-13 and while there we sawl jen l! and she had a fabulous kitchen table. for some reason she didn't want to pack it up and send it to us in seattle, but she did tell us where she got it, so we got it too. we are copy cats but imitation is the best form of flattery.
while in new york eric and i CHOWED down. we spent so much money on eating out it was REDICULOUS. DAMN tasty but expensive. we went to one place and i ordered the open faced lasgana which was so amazing i can't even describe it but i will try. picture giant noodle on a giant plate with all the best sausage and cheesey goodness on top, served super hot! it was soooo good! also in NY we saw LIZ who took us to the DONUT PLANT where i had an awesome strawberry donut, it smelled so good and
strawberry. she also took us to momufuku or something liek that where we had a plate of HAM, a bowl of tomatoes, some pork goodness and a few good beers.
we went on the haror lights cruise, to the top of the empire state building, through the east village, time square (which i made eric walk like 5 miles to get to because i only knew how to get there from 55th & Broadway, when in al actuallity we were less then 3 blocks away when we started out), we attempted to go to the MOMA on free friday but it was pouring and there were 589237470236 people in line, eric went to ground zero and central park. jen took us to see south pacific at lincoln center where we saw MICHAEL KORS who left his tickets to the show on the floor by his seat. i went to starbucks plenty, the Google offices, my offices and what else. i don't know but my shoe broke the 2nd night we were there and i went shopping with carrie to get some flip flops. i was amazed that i was abe to walk 20 miles in those things.

then after we came back from NY i got ready to go to atlanta for lisa's wedding! i was so excited about this trip, it couldn't get here soon enough! i flew out thursday on the red eye and didn't sleep a wink. i did however watch the sex and the city movie which i thoroughly enjoyed. lisa volunteered her fiancee to pick me up at the airport which was fun since i hadn't ever met him and he had never met me. she sent him out the door with a sign that had my name on it and a photo from my wedding almost 7 years ago - a photo that showed my face from the side! anyway, it al worked out a-ok but altanta had no gas! totally unreal!
anyway, we got to the house, and after i was over my speechlessness of its amazingness i was so happy to see lisa and her family. later that evening we go dressed for the rehearsal dinner and wound up hanging out on the porch until past midnight. the wedding was saturday and lisa looked amazing. she looked like she stepped right out of a magazine! the wedding was great and the reception was fun. i drank way to much but ya know. we all hung out sunday as everyone headed off to the airport one by one. i was really happy to see all the girls, it had been so long.

but after all of that traveling and such, i have gained a ton of pounds, haven't run in what seems like weeks and i have a terrible sore throat.
