Our First Wedding Anniversary

Hello there! Today is my our first wedding anniversary! We got back from NYC around 1:30 today, and we got there around 10:30 a.m. yesterday morning. I had a good time, but unfortunately my husband didn't feel well for the majority of the time. His allergies were bothering him a lot (we think because were on the subway much more than we usually use it in the city, and the dampness from being underground was probably what was bothering his allergies), and then for a time his stomach was bothering him, too. He still doesn't feel 100% now. 
But, I got to go to the two stores I really wanted to go to, Enz's & Slapback. I didn't get anything at Slapback, and didn't even see anything to try on. But, I did well at Enz's! I got two dresses and a wristlet/purse. I had been thinking of ordering a dress in the Trashy Diva Green Kimono print since it came out, and just never took the plunge. Once I tried it on at Enz's in the Lena style, I loved it on! The material is so light and comfortable. It also isn't supertight in the chest, so I like that there's breathing room in it! I also got a red and white gingham Bernie Dexter dress. Here I go again, getting another red dress, ha! It was supposed to be sunny out yesterday, and cloudy and rainy today, but it ended up being the reverse! Today is hot, humid, and very sunny. Yesterday there was no sun, and it kept drizzling. So, my hair was a wreck! I had straightened it in the morning, thinking it would be good since it wasn't supposed to rain.
We went to tiki bars. We had never bee to tiki bars before, until we were in Vegas in April for Viva. We went to one tiki bar there, Frankie's Tiki Room, and loved it! So, we really wanted to check them out in NYC. I really enjoyed both of them, but prefered Otto's Shrunken Head, which is in Manhatten. (We spent most of our time in Brooklyn, and that's where out hotel was, as well. Otto's was quirky and fun. We bought two tiki cups to take home. They were only $5 each! My parrot one is pictured below.

Indian Summer

Hello there! I've had a great weekend. Friday night Bob & I went to my parent's for my birthday party. All my grandparents, and my one aunt & uncle were also there. Satuday I went to New York City for the day with Bob. The weather was just absolutely perfect! It was so sunny & warm, but not humid. This weeked has felt so much like summer! We went to a few stores, and had dinner and drinks at Sugar Factory. The only thing I bought was a Cat Studio New York dish towel. I'm not actually going to use it as a dish towel; Cat Studio dish towels are too nice and cute to do that! I have a few of them, and I drape them over tables and chests. 
And then last night we went to a bar with my friend and one of Bob's friends. We stayed out late, got home a little after 2:00. 
Today I cleaned the apartment, did laundry, talked on the phone to my sister, and ran to Target. Bob made my favourite meal for dinner for me tonight; tomato tart. Bob's family is stopping over tonight, too.

NYC For My Birthday

Hello there! I had a great time in NYC yesterday. I'm a little sore from all the walking, though. And it really tired me out! By the time we got on the train to go home, I was feeling it. As usual, when I go into the city, I didn't find hardly anything to buy. I got two pairs of tights, and a yellow skinny belt. I have been looking ALL OVER for a bright yellow skinny belt, but, was having no luck in months. I finally found this one, being sold by a street vendor. And it was $5! Pretty awesome. I got a great deal on the tights, too. I bought them at Macy*s, for $2.50 each. LOVE a great deal!
We ate an early dinner and had drinks at Sugar Factory. Sugar Factory is my fav restaurant ever. I first found out about it when I went to it in Las Vegas. I was SO happy when they opened on in NYC this past April! 
They have the best drinks. My two favourites are the Hubba Bubba Martini, which has Hubba Bubba bubblegum on the top of the drink on a chopstick and pop rocks on the rim, and my other fav is the Blow Pop Martini. That one has pop rocks on the rim, and a blow pop in the drink. These drinks are $16 a pop, plus tax! So, they are very pricey, but it's worth it, when I only go there about twice a year.
