shay sees the big apple

the week of easter miss shalyce finally came to visit

{thanks to her sweet parents for the graduation gift}

we didn't skip a beat, I felt like shay had always been here in NYC with me.

{except when she was froze in aw before,during,and after every subway ride}

we were busy bees... I wanted to show Shay everything

good food

ground zero

{which was REALLY emotional for me. I mean of course all things 911 are emotional to say the least, but this trip really stunned me. it was intense to see things coming together down there}

 I pretty much made shay go to Pret, even thought she wanted a hot dog

 I also made here get aggressive with all the tourists for this picture, I tried to get her to climb up on the guy, but that was never gonna happen.

 we hit up the met and I took shay to my favorite exhibit 

//modern art//

 ...tiny faces...

 dont worry I got shay her hot dog

we also tore up the natural history museum

having shay-shul was a DE-light. I'm happy she got a big girl job right out of college so hopefully she can come see me more. shay is one of the most responsible, talented, and caring people I know. It was no surprise that she got such an excellent job and nobody deserves it more. I'm just glad they let her start the day after this trip!

thanks for comin shay

she also posted a much more detailed story of our trip with  more witty commentary... pop over and check it out

this addiction is my own personal prision

apple TV has brought so many wonderful things (FNL) into our lives and this weekend it happened to be prison break.

if you have seen this show then you can understand how after watching the first episode J and I could not be stopped. 

we can came back from some friend's apt (after playing our first game of settlers of cantan, which was an experience in itself) around midnight and went straight to the TV. we then proceeded to stay up until 6am (yes the sun was coming up when we went to bed) watching episodes.

{side note: when I told carly about my all-nighter I said 
"ya know sometimes you just have to be reckless"
she responded with " uh, I think that might only be applicable to people who are never reckless, I mean really rarely cute loose"
BA HA, that's me isn't... not so much}

the sad thing about it is that 99% percent of the time I'm not even enjoying it. I am so stressed out about what's happening to the characters in each episode I can't relax. and moreover after each episode I'm so worried about what is going to happen to them next I can't be torn away from the TV.

yesterday after watching a few episodes J said

"I do really feel like I'm a prisoner to this show, what are we gonna do?"

haha

no but really, someone help...
