Back from NYC...or kind of back. What I mean is that you are receiving your first blog from an airport terminal. I have a 3 hour layover in Detroit. Fun times. They have wireless internet here, so I am taking advantage of it. I am glad to be getting home because I am exhausted, but not so excited about getting home to work. I am glad that I gave myself at least one day off before going back. You know how I am usually..I will just schedule work for the very night that I return!

So, how was my trip to New York? I had a good time and we did almost everything on my "list" of things to do. My impressions of New York after my first visit, it is a place that is nice to visit but not a place I would neccessarily want to live. I could live there if I had to..but would never raise children there. What all did we do...we visited the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Little Italy and Chinatown, (ate in Little Italy) saw a broadway show - Rent, walked across Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, Rockefellar Center, Wall Street, visited ground zero, and of course saw the David Letterman Show. I think if you looked really carefully on Monday's show of Letterman you could see me for a split second. They did like one quick sweep of the audience and we did have really good seats..like 6 rows back center. Yeah..I am famous..haha. We stayed in Times Square/Theatre District. We were literally one block away..which was cool and immediately next to the Scientology building of New York..which was weird.:-) No Tom Cruise spottings though. Other thoughts. The subway is decent... but hard to figure out at first...and not clean at all. Like of all of the other major systems I have used - Paris, London, Chicago, (if you count Venice's water cannals:-), Vienna...New York was close the bottom..perhaps Rome would be the very bottom because it just doesn't have as many stops as it needs. It just was dirty, old, and somewhat difficult to navigate at first. Nevertheless cheap though..so we used it the whole time and it was convienent in getting us everywhere...I just gues I realize that there are much nicer systems out there. It was not as expensive as I had built up in mind. Very expensive to stay there...apartments, hotels, but food, admission to things was very similar to other large cities. I am glad that I finally went to visit it though...it didn't seem right having been everywhere else in the world but not going to the staple American city. Plus, as many of you know I was convinced that I wanted to live there as a child...so I was wrong about a few things.:-) It was really nice to get away. Lots of pictures taken of course and I will post them soon.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. Doesn't this sound like a break up email? No, this is the message I received when yahoo couldn't send an email. I think this will be my new I don't want to go out on another date with you response (when I decide that I want to actively date again).

Hi John Doe,
Thanks for the last couple of dates, but I don't know how much we have in common. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Haha.

What it means to be single... So, my grandpa had some procedures done on his heart this weekend. Luckily he is doing fine. Last night my grandma spent the night at my house. On the way home I asked grandma if she was hungry at all..and she said she could just eat some cereal or toast. Well..that is simple enough..however I was very uncertain of the date of the milk and not sure if anything was growing on the bread. Needless to say I had to stop at Krogers! I just realized that one day that part of my life will change. I don't worry about food, groceries because I just have myself (and if you count Kaden) to care for right now.. Being single.

The full moon. I recently introduced the concept of men coming around more on the full moon. Well, guess what it was...a full moon weekend. Two phone calls I received on Friday. It goes the entire month with me hardly hearing from anyone..then boom full moon. Two months this has happended. I was at work on Friday..so no dates for me..but I thought it was amusing since the only time I got asked out again was during the full moon weekend. So, I guess I should just go ahead and ask off for the weekend of the full moon as that is the only chance of me having a date..haha.

So, I must be a really bad liar as I can not even trick my dog. Everytime I am trying to get him to come to me to take a bath or to brush him..the little punk goes and hides. Wow...I am bad at trickery. Well, I suppose that is a good thing.

I got the lovely suprise of fully realizing the my student loans are going to be due next month. Yah..nothing like seeing a new bill when your checking account is in the negative. I thought it was going to be close to $500..but I think I can get it to be much less if I consolidate. I am seriously considering picking up a second job to compensate.

I had a quite long ranting the other night, however it wouldn't post..oh well. Life stinks a bit right now. It really feels like something needs to give..and I guess it will at some point.
