Hello Friends!

Doesn’t that sound like we’re in a cult or something?  Anyway, I just wanted to throw out a quick hi and say that I have not forgotten my little blog and the wonderful readers that come back here to read the nonsense that I write. It’s been a crazy couple weeks, which is no excuse not to post, but I’m going to use it as an excuse anyway. So, what have I been up to? Well..

1. Sickness! The first week of October was complete hell for me, I had a terrible cold/flu type of situation, but I had so much work to do for my day-time job that I was forced to drag my ass onto the disgusting and germ filled, overcrowded train every day. Of course, I was adding to the cesspool of grossness, but trust, all of the gross little kids coughing and sneezing onto everyone were a lot worse than little old me in the corner. Look, I took a picture of my misery below (that’s me holding the pole, surrounded by people):

2. Birthdays and Engagements! So many of favorite people were born in October, it’s crazy. So far (we still have my brother’s birthday coming up, my friend F’s, and more, proper, celebrating for E) we have celebrated my best friend E’s birthday at Uncorked, the food and wine festival in the meatpacking district. We also had a birthday celebration for my favorite (although only) nephew who turned the big 5 with a cars themed party, and finally, we celebrated my brother’s girlfriend’s birthday..Oh wait, I mean my brother’s fiancé.. That’s right, my only brother got engaged and I couldn’t be happier for them ( love her!) . Look, I took a picture of the ring:

3. Florida! So, another reason the month has been crazy is because I have to jet to Florida tomorrow for a little work business, and preparing for that has been really hectic. Look, a picture of me packing, in progress:

I’m hoping to get some posts done tomorrow on the plane. I have so many in the queue ( my head). Hopefully I’ll also be able to blog at night from Florida, but we’ll see.

See you soon guys!
