***waits for the SV lovefest to be over***
Rath..checked out the BP thread..looks like you and Joe took care of it...I swear what idiots can compare Madonna to Bernie..jeez.
Mind-boggling, isn't it?
yea, but at least Madonna can act...no wait a minute. Oh right, at least Madonna can sing....no, that's not right either.
I got it! At least Madonna can make kabalah cool!
Betcha BP couldn't do that.
Betcha she could!
ETA: Although to a small, rabid fan base.
But can Madonna make Italian bread like our Bernie?
Rath...
Sorry....but at least it's before the year is out! I can't wait! Seriously get lightheaded when I think about it.
We were planning to go over the summer -- but ran into some issues-- gymrat would miss too much training she only gets 2 weeks of training off every year and my ex-husband family planned some Hawaiian cruise for one of them (boring.) Former hub wanted me drag me along. I calmly explained that I don;t have to suffer through his family vacations anymore because we are divorced and he has a new wife to torture with that now.
....so I get the other week (between Christmas and New Years) besides, the younger two munchkins really want to see Little Mermaid, and C1 would sell his soul to see YF --
so we opted to postpone....
Oh I'm babbling ....sorry (again). I've been planning this since I went back to school...major graduation present to self!
Babble away!
The city is a magical (if crowded) place during the holidays, especially for kids! Enjoy it!
Oh god, I hate the city during the holidays. I used to work at a hotel and it was murder.
Remind me to tell you my Christmas story of the Obnoxious Woman Who Got The Beat-Down From Jaily's Umbrella someday.
D2. Thanks!
Oh we will I suspect...the ittiest munchkin is a little fearful of The City...I have a feeling she will love it or hate it, not sure which.... my oldest; I will have to drag him back kicking and screaming. Not at all sure about C2....he is always a mystery.
When I was growing up I got back there every few years...(we moved out to Zona when I was 5) but have not been back since ...whoa, too long... my ex was terrified he we went on a vacation-- I would refuse to come back (his instincts were, I confess, quite accurate). Oy! Babbling again. Shutting up now.
"the Christmas story of the Obnoxious Woman Who Got The Beat-Down From Jaily's Umbrella"
or, as i like to call her, mom.
Jaily, tell me the story of the obnoxious woman who got the beat down from your umnrella
Yes, Taz, and it isn't so great for those of us who live here, either. But there is something undeniably magical about it nonetheless. Especially for the visitors. And especially if it snows!
Taz...was not my first choice...but frankly with gymrats schedule there was just not a lot of choice...and I was recently informed that she is moving up to Optionals in December so it is now or never because after she does-- she will only get one week in summer off...and move up to 6 hour practices 5 days a week.. ::sighs:::
Jaily...sounds like a story not to be missed..
oh and hey don't knock the celibates, not all celibates are pedophiles or ugly ferrets (which truly makes no sense, but sounds kinda quirky)....I am celibate by choice for 4 years now.
Akiva, why oh WHY are you so. unbelievably. f*cking. hot?
I didn't mean the city isn't fun during the holidays, only that it is sooo crowded and people get so cranky from the crowds. There is nothing like walking by the dept store windows and Rock Ctr to be sure.
Radi, you're an experienced NY visitor so I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Biggest issue for me during the holidays: NO CABS!!!
No cabs in midtown, that's for sure. But if you...
...wait a minute, why am I divulging secret cab getting techniques on a public message board?
Taz, Radi - PM me if you want to know.
Silly taz...that's why we have Driver. Cabs are so...ick.
Akiva, I thought you said you were celibate? How could you get crabs?
My deepest fear: being mistaken for tourists! Oy!
People religious ask me if I'm a New Yorker...and I reply:
Once a New Yawker, always a New Yawker.
why do straight boys always give the finger in pictures? it looks so vile and aggressive.
btw, akiva, call me.
