sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
Well, winter has left! -sunny and pleasant in my neck of the woods; I also heard that Seattle had it even better today after their recent cold streak.
Teeny and I are catching up on interweb-related activities (and listening to The National, damn I love them!) as we have played host and tour guide to my mother on her first-ever trip to new york city for the past five days. I didn't realize until after getting up early on the last day and screaming around midtown (mother had to get in her Letterman show Hello Deli fix in) before sending her off for her flight, just how completely exhausted I am. Emphasize completely. I literally watched her get in the airport shuttle from my stoop, walked eight steps back into the apartment, and fell asleep on the couch. The woman doesn't sleep.
I took two days off from work at the end of the week to spend more time tour-guiding, but of course they weren't for resting- the Met, Staten Island Ferry, Rockefeller Center and the observation deck, Times Square and a night at the theater, Fifth Ave and Central Park and a few brunches.... we got a good amount of stuff in. Of course you can't do it all in your first trip to a city, but we didn't do so bad in covering most of Manhattan, considering my mom is kinda slow. I love my mom, but she's the first one to admit she's kinda old and broken. ;) I kinda felt like I was dragging her along at times.
Below, a couple scenes from the Kristin and Erika show:
So I'm actually a little okay with going back to work tomorrow, it will be (initially) a little refreshing to do some sitting.
Give me your tired, your poor...
Mos' def poor after these past few days.
In honor of my mother, who is apparently in love with what Photobooth on my MacBook can do, here we are, blogging and rocking out. the lap was Teeny's idea, she likes to drive (and to rock out); Leo's not quite as fond as being in front of the screen. He's a low-tech boy.
