80 degrees and Sunny in NYC


inside the corporate HQ of Estee Lauder
I spent a lovely day with my good friend Jason
(he sold me my No-Po house!)
He lives here and hates it.
I love it that he is here.
(Sadly for me he is leaving on Tuesday - he's having a wee Oregonian Baby!)
I love that he has a 40% discount at the Estee Lauder Company Store.

Facebook anyone?

If you are still totally like 2004 and are into the myspace - I encourage you to drink the grown up kool aid and join 2008 and Facebook.  Totally hip, totally now (for right-this-second anyway)  No pervy friend requests (unless you are into that kind of thing - no judging).   
It's a good thing....

I found an apartment!

It's a 3 story walk-up (no elevator!) a "true one bedroom" (often a bedroom means a big closet or an off-to-the-sidish area),  this one will fit my queen bed with room to spare!  It also sports a separate kitchen (no bugs!  the current tenant told me with pride),  a wee dining area, a suitable bathroom (no tub = no biggie)  and a living room with enough space for my beloved Dania furniture.  It's only 49 streets away from work - that's close for my budget (you don't want to know...   this place was actually under my limit!   I'll just say it's a lot more than the mortgage on my home!)  The movers get to haul all my (and Tameras) crap up the stairs on May 2nd - I can't wait.   Almost forgot - It's just blocks from Columbia University - future home of Anita!

My first NYC Red Carpet - Now with Supers!

Since I still have my "training wheels" on, I had lots of time to snatch up these wee little Blackberry photos of all the fun (a 'grown-up' photog shot the real stuff).  It was actually pretty entertaining watching the still photogs going crazy paparazzi - shouting at the celebs and shoving each other around for their shots....  Now with Supers!  I shot these with the cell phone so they suck...
This is Rosie O'Donnell arriving - you just can't see her, but really it is.  I would have chosen Bono if I was lying.
Tina Fey
Will Arnett and Amy Poehler
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog with "handler" - hard to see I know...
Susan Sarandon
Kesey Grammer
Sarah Silverman
The carpet was actually blue...   Maroon 5

Matthew Broderick (my fav Ferris Bueller)

I went to Mass today ....


   It brought me back - way back to my church days...  it was cute watching the little ones enjoying their first communion.  (I was hungry enough that I actually thought about going up myself!)   This is not a new hobby - it was for work and it was in NEW JERSEY (my first visit to the Garden State).

I've been neglecting my blogging duties....

Cabs are fun!
Fancy-pants Anita in front of her new fancy-pants school...
My fancy-pants UN press pass...
The UN building (non-fancy-pants)... badly in need of a good powerwashing and some new decor.  They do have lots of flags though!
The United-We-Stand Deli
