last weekend of 2014
yup
hard to believe
2014
is
screeching to its end
it was a busy year
weather wise it was a mild year
not so much at its start
but
as winter approaches again
its bearable
no snow this october
in fact
dare i voice it
no snow
here in the city
so far
tho
the rain seems more plentiful than in the past
if you can live with it
so can i
i went to amsterdam
a city
i had long wished to visit
it was as wonderful as i imagined
how nice to fulfill a dream
not
to be disappointed
when reality doesn't meet expectations
my office move
was pretty easy
settling in less so
security
understandably
is
tighter downtown
making deliveries
even
mail
harder to get
i can't tell you
how many
fedex packages
how many
ups packages
i have had to chase down
well
actually
i could
but
i won't
we adopted a third cat
a little girl
we named annie
for
orphan annie who was also a red head
(as a friend said totally seriously: until she was black
- that is a reference
to the new movie
with
an adorable black actress playing annie
so relax)
you'll be happy to hear the boyz
have decided to like her
and
she them
well
except
for
when she doesn't like harry
silly girl
our health
has been good
knock wood
toonman's videos and toons still amuse
i am ending
through my eyes
i just can't find the time or energy
to take enough photos
i like
well enough
to
share
on
two blogs
to satisfy
your insatiable need for blather
apparently
more of you
who dont comment
but
at least
click on the page
do so
on days
i go on and on
about
nothing
speaking of photos
i went to midtown on saturday
with my friend donna
we hadn't spent a long afternoon together in quite a while
we went to return a gift i got from bergdorf's
to have lunch at fred's in barneys
after we left bergdorf's
i looked at the wonderful holiday trim
on
tiffany's facade
reached for my phone
only to discover
i had left it home
i borrowed donna's phone snapped a few pix
when we got to barney's
i managed this quick snap
of
the
base luhrmann extravaganza
that are the barney's facade/windows
no way
i could get closer
there's always
even at night
a crowd blocking the view
we managed to get a table for lunch
even tho we didnt have a reservation
after
we'd talked forever
finished our salads
we did a little shopping
we both bought hats
checked out the 60% off sales
then headed home
after a light dinner toonman and i watched
a very enjoyable
magic in the moonlight
colin firth is so very swoon worthy
emma stone a delight
the other evening
i honestly
can't
remember
which
we watched
the imitation game
truly excellent
christmas
is
truly over
