I love NY


Last weekend I brought Lydia to New York City. We both had so much fun. Corinne was the hostess with the mostess as always, and showed us a great time.


I really miss NY, and feel sometimes that I live on the other side of the universe. I miss living in a city. I miss that anonymous feeling everywhere you go. I miss seeing different types of people. I miss seeing the random celeb. Hello we stood next to Matt Dillon while waiting for the light to change near Central Park. (I know Dally from The Outsiders!!!) And I really miss being able to get anything delivered.
But I really miss Corinne.
It was so nice just to hang out and spend time with her. And Lydia pretty much adores her. She entertained Lydia to no end.




Even when Lydia tried to wrestle Corinne in the Village or lick her hand on the subway, Corinne totally played along.
At one point Corinne wondered about running into someone from college,and if they would think that we were partners with our love child, "No doubt about it", I replied.
We spent a lot of time in Central Park, and on the fastest Carousel ever. Only in NY does the carousel revolve at 50 M.P.H.
Lydia would love to live with Corinne, there is no doubt. She associates her with great playgrounds all over the place. And a hot dog stand on every corner.
Is it any surprise that my child ended up looking exactly like the closest friend I've ever had? I think not.
We had a great time.
Lydia was very well behaved (there must be something in the water).
Now I just need to get some sleep.
