My Mr. Big and the Real Mr. Big

Just a quick pop in to share an exciting story from tonight :)

I stopped in Union Square to pick up my Mr. Big (Seth) and walking down the street as we were was the REAL Mr. Big! I was shocked :) and in awwww... I love love love Sex in the City! Plus, I am still always amazed to see these famous people walking the same streets as I do ;)

tired of the rain

dear rain,
i liked you yesterday, yet that doesn't mean you must insist on staying for so terribly long. please pack your bags and head on.
love,
alicia

i haven't actually blogged in what feels like... forever. and i probably won't allow myself too long this evening either. life has just taken over and my free time... who am i kidding?... i don't have free time.

multiple rainy days make me wish i were anywhere else. yesterday, when i took the photo above, i had this feeling like i was somewhere else... living another life... it's the feeling you get in a moment when a memory from a book, a movie, your imagination flashes in your mind and something else almost feels like reality (weird right?) but now, i'm tired of this rain.

and to be quite frank. i am kind of just tired! fall is slowly creeping in and here i am wishing for even cooler weather these rainy days. the leaves are starting to change slowly. the days are getting shorter and i'm already barely seeing the light of the day other than through the windows of a building. but i'm also excited for the new season... i just hope i can enjoy it, really truly enjoy it.

City Night

I am on a roof deck with the most perfect view of the city tonight!
Love the city, love our friends.

Beach Day

It is a most perfect day to be out at the beach!! We are sitting on a
Fire Island beach right now enjoying this amazing weather!

This morning feels like...

Fall!!! It's cool enough for a sweater and there are now pumpkins out
at one of the small markets by the subway!! Love it!

A New Friend

Pretty excited about this new friend! His name is Herman, and it was Love at first sight! Kendra wanted so bad to name him Herman, and it fits perfectly! Let's hope we can keep him alive for a while now!

We got him rocks to match his colors. He also has a castle to swim through, a little fake green plant, and (the best thing of all!) a hammock leaf to sleep on! I've never seen a fish sleep on a hammock, but Kendra swears they can. I hope I catch him snoozing on it! :)

I think he was excited to be picked, too. He wiggled his fins in full speed all the way to his new home! (I think getting a fish today took me back to about age 10. I can't believe how excited I am about this little guy!)
