Post About My Trip #1

Yes, the title alludes to the fact that there will be multiple posts about how awesome the past 10 or so days have been.  Deal.

Something of note - I dislike pictures of myself which is why about 99% of these will be of things that I like.  Again, deal.  I know, I know, ya'll want to see me in Ireland or whatev but I was there, I promise, so just enjoy the lovely photos sans Ms. Rachel.

Thursday the 18th I bussed it on up to NYC for the midnight premiere of Harry Potter.  It was AWESOME.  I really love the feeling at midnight showings because there is a very specific energy that is hard to capture if you see it after a few days.  Harry did not disappoint! (except for that one scene....ahem....Harry, Hermione.....right)   I'm already planning to see it again!

Friday I wandered New York by myself and came across a sweet Farmer's Market 

Check it out - 

While I was there I was interviewed on camera for market research.  A guy approached me and asked if I was from New York.  When I said no he asked if I wouldn't mind lying on camera and saying that I was.  Of course that was no problem.  It was about smartphones and technology.

I swear, if I end up on some stupid commercial for the iPad and I don't get compensated ($$$$) then I'm gonna be pissed.

After the Market I went to Central Park to walk around.  May I recommend going for a stroll whilst listening to your newly downloaded Huey Lewis and the News playlist?  It's heaven.  Seriously, as I was walking up to Central Park the song "Power of Love" from Back to the Future came on.  Think about that for a minute.  Awesome.

Here's pictures.  Hooray.

Beauty.

Saturday morning we got up, went to brunch at  Fred's (named for the owner's dog), got manicures and a 20 minute massage, bought pomegranate colored Tom's (finally!), bought a grey scarf and skinny jeans (what the!) at 40% off at GAP, and boarded a plane to Ireland.  

More pics and posts to come :)

Oh, and some really awesome stories
