Pictures

I have been getting hounded for a new blog, so here it is. I really haven't written because I had no new pictures to share with you. I now have some and hope you enjoy them all.

The first major snow storm hit New York on Friday. This is the view out on the ledge of the building where CB Radio and I work. I was also trying to get all the snowflakes coming down, but you can't really see that too well.

Another view out of the window at work. You can tell how fast the snow was falling because it just looks cloudy.

CB Radio hard at work on Friday. She was eating a left over cookie from our "holiday party" the day before. The holiday party was just a get together in our conference room during work on Thursday. There was also some more karaoke, but not as much as last time. I ate way too many sweet treats at the party, but I also got to drink some egg nog and rum!

Me also hard at work on Friday. Look it was snowing and the day after our party at the office. We just needed a little down time. I was also hit by a snowball at work, but don't worry I got BSIII back with my own snowball. Well really it was what was left over from what he threw at me, but still I got him back.

Friday night Coriander, Mateo, DKNY, BH and myself went out to dinner around Union Square at a Ramen Restaurant. Our original plan was to go ice skating, but the weather was so bad it closed the rink. The food was very good, and just what was needed on a snowy night.

After dinner when we were waiting for our check. I bet BH will love that I put this picture up. We also saw a movie after dinner. I haven't seen a movie in the theater for quite some time.

On the walk home from the L train. As you can see it was starting to snow again.

BH & DKNY walking in front of me on our brisk walk to our respective apartments. This is just before a girl that was wasted in high heels, in the snow mind you, fell in the middle of the street. DKNY was nice enough to help her out of the street and home, along with another person from the restaurant she fell in front of. I was going to take a picture, but I felt bad since she had just fallen.

I was told that the snow gets nasty and gross quickly in New York so I took a picture of it. I was a little disappointed in how gross the snow got; to me it looked the same as it does in Cincinnati after a ton of cars drive on the snow. It may be different in Manhattan though, I wasn't there late enough after the snow to test the theory.

On Saturday DKNY and Mateo went with me to the Xavier game in New Jersey. I was my first time getting on the New Jersey Transit system and boy was it a blast. They don't assign a gate for the train till 10 minutes before the train is scheduled to leave so you just have to wait around till they call the gate. Then once they announce it everyone hurries to the gate and you feel like you are being herded through the doors to your train. On our way down to the platform the escalator stopped working. I have never been mid ride on an escalator when it stopped working before, it is a fun experience. You slowly come to a stop, but your body kind of wants to keep going at the speed you originally were going, fun times. Really the transit out the Meadowlands isn't all that bad. They have a nice system, other than the original boarding at Penn Station.

Our seats for the Xavier vs. Duke game. Great seats too bad Xavier decided not to show up and play basketball that day.

The game was so far out of reach, after the first 5 minutes, I had time to take some pictures of the game. I also bet Mateo and DKNY and if Xavier came back from down 31 at the half and won the game I would pay for both of their tickets. Let's just say I knew it was a safe bet and I ended up winning.

Sunday was Christmas cookie baking time. BH being very domestic with her cookie skills.

Me doing some baking as well.Here are some of our fine creations. We made five different kinds of cookies all together.

More cookies, I will be bringing most of them home with me.

Our fourth variety of cookie for the day.

And our last cookies, I hope everyone will enjoy some cookies at Festivus or my family will enjoy them on Christmas because we made a ton of cookies.

Jenny even threw some on the floor and we have a ton. We put those back in the pile of cookies so you better hope you don't end up with a floor cookie.

Coriander cutting Mateo's hair. He said he had a mullet and wanted to get rid of it.

It all started innocently enough with a trimmer.

But then it got serious with some huge scissors. In the end it looked fine and now Mateo doesn't have a mullet.
This is my wall of Christmas cards. It may not look like much, but it is at least some decoration in my otherwise bland room. Thanks everyone who sent me a card!

I will be traveling on the 23rd to go home to Cincinnati and I will try and take more pictures of all the Holiday goings on that I will be attending, especially Festivus. And I will try to write a blog more quickly this time around.

I am getting ready for the Holiday's; I don't have any pregnancy news to give as a present.
