Happy Birthday to the young gals! I'm 41 and I tell everyone I can't remember how old I am...which isn't a stretch, I often forget if I am 40 or 41 and sometimes 42??? It's just another number. Sometimes I behave like a 20 somethin', tonight I am going to the Breaking Benjamin concert...this morning I was thinking, what was I thinking...a week night, gotta wake at 5:30...gotta learn to act my age!!! LOL!!

good times!

Lapdancer~water arobics sounds fun. I love jazzercise! been thinking about rejoining, and of course my gym, I hhave been a member for over a year and haven't been in months!! Gotta get back on track!

Woofay~drive safe! I'll be thinking about ya'.

Drews~you are glowing in your picture! Congrats on getting back on the skates and losing the 12 pounds. Hope to hear good news on the 12th!

VA~You will have a great time in Vegas. I think Bally's is bit off of the srip, not really sure. There is sooo much to do wether you see the sights, shows, gamble, night life...it can be alot of fun. I just love to people watch, the later it gets the more entertaining it is. Oh yeah don't forget your watch, there are no clocks in Vegas (besides your room).

No clocks in Vegas. How cool! Someone was thinking.

Woofy hope the car is resolved.

Mal, you make me want to go to Vegas.

Hope everyone her on the Dr. K thread is having a great day. Best of luck to the up and coming bandsters. He's a busy man and I am so glad he is the one who did my surgery.

Lapdancer~I know you'll enjoy this...another theme party! I am going to a "Burrito Bar" party, must find a sombrerro (sp)!!

Hi everyone!

Yes, i'm in the BiG Apple! I am going to a wedding on Friday evening. My cousin is a therapist in NYC and has an apartment on the upper west side. I really sound like I know what I am talking about don't I? Yesterday I took the subway, first time alone, to Times Square and lined up for theater tickets. I went to a matinee on my own. I saw Frost Nixon. it was amazing. Remember Tony Blair from the movie "Queen"? he was in it and Frank Langella won a Tony award for his portrayal of Nixon. I laughed and remembered those times. Today, I walked across Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and saw Renoir , Modigliani, Cezanne, Rembrandt and Picasso up close and personal. There is something about seeing art in person that moves me. Then, the intrepid traveler walked across Central Park again to 72nd street. Found the subway station on Broadway and took it to Times Square. Why? To get in line for more theater tickets. The half price line was a triple line back and forth across this alley. I waited for an hour and a half, then slowly made my way up front. I have tickets for the Drowsy Companion.

Now Happy Birthday to you youngins',

Mal - I am so happy you enjoyed your trip. So what if you didn't win a bunch, you had a good time! yes, the tipping in Vegas is pretty outrageous.

Lap Dancer - we'll see you in July with your son. How old is he? Glad to hear things are good.

Woofay - you are doing great. The fact that you aren't allowing the compulsion to drown you is amazing. You believe you can do it and you can.

Drews - sexy momma! You look fantastic. So glad that you are back on track. Life isn't weight loss, but it sure feels better on the body. Skate on sista!

hugs to all

Dynamo! It sounds like you are really getting out and seeing New York! Just like one of the chicks in Sex and the City! Hee hee! I would love to see it. My brother-in-law and his wife live in Manhattan. It sounds fantastic and it's so great that you are getting to see some shows. All they do is walk in New York, you're getting some great exercise too! Are you getting some good pics to share with us on the 12th? I hope so! Have a great time tomorrow night at the wedding. And remember to splurge some cuz your walking off all the calories there!

[Lap_dancer 8]

(drip * drip * drip ) ...Michelle that's me dripping with jealousy of your museum excursion. WOW. If they were having an impressionist exhibition I might actually whine and chew my fist (since noshing is out of the question unless I want a "Cat Fancy" hairball hack attack) Take pictures and post them.

Very nice of you to say that Mal and Robin. I think I'm one of those that see's the world on the other side of the coin. (same coin different side)

I made this for my favorite (one of ) artists: Henri de Toulouse-Latrec

Woofay~How did the Airport trips go yesterday? I hope your family made it in. Is your Bday Sunday?? I hope you will be able to have a nice Birthday.

Happy Friday!

Another great day. We are going to Chinatown, schlepping around, then taking the subway to the wedding because it is at rush hour 6 pm Friday night. Crazy! We are going to wrap up the boobies with a shawl and bring our heels to change into. Can't wait to see you. I don't know what I weigh. I don't think my band is restricting me, but i'm eating ok. I can eat bread and muffins. I haven't tried Pasta after a PB on a Thai

Spring Roll.

Lap Dancer - loved the Toulse slide show, however, I will review it when I am home.

Woofay - NYC is quite an experience. You'd love it. It is like visiting a foreign city, so different from our lives.

Anyway, hugs and love to you all,

Michelle

Wow. I never heard of Nick Black until searching for some music to sync to my slide. I like Jack Black and I like Nickelback so I thought..hmmmmm interesting name. I played Hollow...interesting name and loved it within five seconds. The lighter at the intro sets the mood for the song. I really love this song and it's my favorite at the moment.

Hi Michelle. Details Details on the wedding.

CHINATOWN...wheeeee. All the incense, all the lanterns..so little time!!

Pasta and me are not on speaking terms at the moment. Since the cat hack I stay away from pasta.

I do think I need a fill. I'm restricted but now that a few weeks have passed I can tell that the wee bit we were going back and forth on should have been increased. I respect that Dr. K preferred we go with the lesser amount given the distance from his office that I live.

****************************************************

Anyone traveling from out of state, the Best Western at Mississippi Ave. in Aurora has the best deal. You can stay there with the hospital discount which they call "Medical discount".

I am missing Colorado right now. I cannot wait to take my son there. I want to show him where I had my surgery, where is father and I stayed, the drive we took, and then skip off into the mountains.

My son is 21 years old. His name is Patrick.

Fun photos:

I love parades. Here is me as the Queen of Hearts

One of the bigger parades around here is one I long to march in from end to end.

More art....

Murals

and I dream of doing a huge mural bigger than the 20 x 17 feet I have done to date.

one at my kid's school when they were younger. This one is about 10 years old.

that's all the art for today.

The NYC wedding!

We took the subway 20 minutes before the event started, I carried heels, our boobies were showing, it was hot! Then we took the connecting train, got out and expected to take a cab. Oh no! Then called a car service and were taken to the old warehouse district.

It took place in an old foundry under the Queensboro Bridge. Ivy covering the surrounding buildings, picture the bridge in the upper right corner through the tall picture windows, wedding hoopa suspended from the ceiling, brick walls, beautiful couple underneath, bride in a self-designed and made wedding gown with gorgeous veil hanging from the back of her head, droning minister who completely ignored their wedding program and went off on his own, then patio set up with jazz combo, two bars, horsd'ouves brought out - goat cheese with pistachios, lamb shanks, mini crabcakes, etc, then dinner at various stations, Greek food, seafood, Pasta, etc., then dance music, great fun, Champagne toasts, three wedding cakes, pastry made by the son's Holocaust surviving grandmother. It was beautiful. We got home after 1 am, I drank much more than I have ever done, and danced up a storm - whew! We had the car service take us home, no boobies on the subway in the middle of the night for me! Hick from the west!

So now I'm in upstate New York for two days, Millbrook. My cousin has a house in the country too. The yentas (as we call them) our moms and aunt are coming, my cousin and her son, my cousin's daughter and her aide, big party, I am going to take a walk before I eat more.

Be well, I haven't thought about the diet thing much, but what are vacations for; I need a fill too.

Hugs and be well,

Michelle

Lapdancer~I have never heard of Nick Black either, but once i heard the song Hollow, I searched the music and I really like them. I love how you found them!...Jack Black and Nickelback....The song is sooo touching!

The murals are gorgeous!

Dynamo~Sounds like YOU are the party animal now...LOL. The wedding sounded mahvulus! Sounds like something from the movies. Can't wait to see some pics.

Woofay~I hope you are having a peaceful weekend.
