Heeeeere mousey mousey.....

Today I got pooped on by 2 birds. Only I could get pooped on by 2 birds in one day.

We've had many adventures with our resident mice (we have a family)- First, there was the previously mentioned stove incident. Then I was opening the trash can and one literally jumped out at me and scurried away. I then turned completely white and started screaming and scurried away myself. Then we caught another one. Then we saw ANOTHER one in our stove. Then this morning it somehow turned over our sticky traps. now, if you've ever dealt with sticky rodent traps, you know that they are incredibly sticky. You're in trouble if you touch one. So, I think we're dealing with a really smart mouse!! This afternoon we watched it race all around the house and even put some cheese in the middle of the trap. And nothing. This mouse has foiled us again....

Today we sat in Central Park and watched the hundreds of joggers and bikers and crazy people and people in suits and heels and people with tiny dogs. It was such a perfect day- sunny, cool, a little breezy...Fall was in the air, and I was truly amazed that such a beautiful park can exist in this busy city. Although I had been complaining about the seemingly more crowded than usual streets only moments before, once I was in the park, it was like being in a different place entirely.

I went in the most crowded Trader Joe's I have ever seen today. You couldn't even move and I left immediately.

But then I went next door and bought 3 bottles of wine for $11- You have to love Trader Joe's Wine!!!

Yesterday I had 5 cocktails before 5 o'clock. Thank goodness for all you can drink brunch- I love any excuse to drink in the daytime. Those of you who were lucky enough to stumble across us via text messaging or phone know just how much fun we had.

Because we were drinking in the daytime in the village we also got to see some dancing gays, hear some disco, and go home with red beads that we could play with on the subway (and we were DEFINITELY "those kids" on the subway yesterday...)

I ran into a girl I've known for at least 10 years (Kristen from Conservatory, for those that may be curious). It's amazing that such a big place can be so small.

Fall is so beautifully on it's way. Now if it could only stay this way forever!
