I can’t help but laugh when I trip and generally act clumsy. It happens to me a lot, so I’ve learned to embrace that particular character trait and I’ve even come to love it a bit. It’s what makes me who I am. I can be all poise and grace, until I fall over my own feet. And I don’t even try to act like nothing happened. It’s just too funny not to laugh.

| A fun sight in Soho. |
I have to say that I had an amazing day today! I spent the whole day walking around Soho and the Village and had a blast talking to people and seeing lots of sights. But the highlight of my day was the night. I went to a private invitation-only event at the Museum of Sex and had a blast chatting with folks, seeing sex exhibits about sex in comics, sex in the animal kingdom, etc., and of course the free drinks and food was delicious! Also, I was photographed as well. Check out some shots…

On the L-train home we were privy to a subway car performance of a scene from King Lear. Always a good time!

This dress is a purchase I made at Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn. I loved that thrift store and the fact that I picked this up for $15 was awesome! It was really hot, and the good thing about this dress is that it’s mostly cotton so it breathes.
So yesterday was so much fun. I walked through central park and then bummed around the upper east side. There was an apartment on Fifth avenue that was being re-done. So I started chatting to the workers and they allowed me inside this rich place to see what it looked like. And indeed it was beautiful. I’ve always wanted to see the inside of a Fifth Avenue apartment, and they are swoon worthy!

| My Cosco Right Size Umbrella Stroller. |
Sorry this is a little late. My brain overheated yesterday and also possibly got a little too excited in my vacation state.
I’ve got this little stroller for one purpose: it’s folds down to almost nothing and therefore is a great occasional stroller. This doesn’t have a basket, or anywhere to put your keys. So it’s very light on features. But it’s really about portability. It folds to the size of walking umbrella and takes up almost no room at all in the trunk. So for a trip or a day out when you don’t think you’ll need a super stroller and trunk space is at a premium this is the way to go. It’s a great stroller to take to my Mom’s house for example. Throw it in the trunk and I have plenty of room for all my other things. Or if we go up north or camp, we’ll probably bring this puppy along as well.

Plus, I like the fun monkey pattern!
Here’s some stuff from my first day in New York…
 |
| Cool building. |
 |
| Fun street metal art. |
 |
| Yes, I went shopping in Beacon’s Closet. One dress has been added to my wardrobe. |
 |
| Overpriced store with a beautiful display. |
 |
| My obsession with Top Gear has caused me to pay attention to cars like never before. |

Top of the mornin’ to you. I’m up bright and early, too early for my tastes, but as every Mother knows it’s not up to my tastes. And last night marks the last time I’m going to sleep in my bed until next Sunday. I’m New York bound! Heading over to my sister’s place tonight. so for the next while I’ll be posting from NYC.
I’ve been there a few times. So here’s the question: any hidden gems that I should check out? Anything secret you’ve discovered that you’re willing to share with me? See you in New York.
I was on the set of a movie yesterday and though I got tons of scratches, cuts, and bruises I had a brilliant time! And I can’t wait until we shoot the feature next year. It’s going to be amazing!!! But I will say that for some reason I really missed Baby yesterday. When I got home, I went to check on her and she was so cute all cuddled up in her crib and sleeping soundly. I’m going to miss her so much when I go to NYC tomorrow! But I know it’ll be good for me. I need to get away and have a long break after more than a year.
Happy Sunday!

Guess what??? My computer’s hard drive completely died! At least it’s under full warranty. But still. Though to be honest that computer has been nothing but grief and I’d be happy to replace it if I could. Regardless, it’s thrown me off my equilibrium a bit.
You want to know the thing that hurts the most? I backed up a month ago, but that means I’ve lost the pics from Baby’s first birthday. *sad face* I could recover it for hundreds of dollars, but frankly I don’t have that lying around. There is one slim chance – I’m not going to say because I don’t want to jinx myself – but otherwise the shots I took are gone. Close your eyes real hard and say a few little prayers for me please!
On a happier note, I thought I’d share with you the lovely things that Baby is doing:
She has learned to go down the stairs now – crawling down in the same position she went up, just backwards. And she loves when I help her use the spoon to feed herself yogurt. Such a cutie! Oh, and she loves standing at the screen door and looking at all the cars go by. But all that is still nothing compared to the joy of flinging the dog’s food around!
And just to let you know, I’m having a BBQ to celebrate my Mom’s umpteenth annual “30th” birthday, and then tomorrow I’m on set all day for a shoot! It’s going to be sooooooo cool! But that also means there will be no post tomorrow! Sorry. I’ll see you lovely folks on Sunday though. Happy weekend!
As per request, I’m posting this hair tutorial on my three-bun hair-do. It’s really easy, and I usually do this when I can’t stand my hair and need to get it off my face. The key to this is the fact that’s it’s never exactly the same, and it’s always a little messy. The goal is the anti-perfect coif.
