Ball Park and Food

Just spent a week in NYC enjoying the city life and remembering how great it is not to drive.

Proof that I really love Mike


We spent 4 hours sweatin' bullets so we can watch the Yankees beat the Oakland As. I actually stayed awake...Then he repaid me by telling me that my shorts made me look short and wide.


This is our walk in the park shot:

Restaurant Week NYC Summer 2008 Tabla: American food with Indian Flair (hahaha what ever that means)

hmmm....not sure how this will help my attempt to lose weight for the rental dress. Oh well it was delicious!

New York Subway

I'm enjoying myself back in the Upper Westside in NYC. Today I was on the 1 train at 11pm, the guy next to me strikes up a conversation about my engagement. Hey I guess it comes with the territory, you wear an engagement ring everyone asks when you are getting married. Trying not to make too much eye contact, I have polite conversation. He precedes to tell me his best friend just got married and they were dating for five years. So its better if I script this right now:

the guy: They met in hs and got married after college.
Me: Oh that is kind of young to be married?
the guy's friend on my otherside: Not for Americans (with a slight attitude)
Me: (thinking "I hope asshole you are not thinking that I am not American." I smile because I think everything is racial) well for NYC that is really young.
the guy: Oh aren't you young for getting married.
Me: No I am 31
the guy: You Asians are so lucky...(awkward silence)
the guy:I've been to Asia and when I start talking to a woman I think she is my age 22, she turns out to be 35
Me:(I'm thinking "Because 35 is really old") oh where are you guys visiting from? ( I take a good look and no self respecting New Yorker would wear Tevas)
the guy's friend: Springfield, Missouri

This is dedicated to Tonya...I got the confirmation on a NYC train that all Missourians are married and have three kids by 30.
