Excuse me- how much would it cost for more bacon???

Oh man! What a weekend! My family was here for my sister's birthday and we had the best time. Friday was the first cold day of the fall and I loved it. Eric and I sat and ate in Central Park, shivering because of the wind and quivering because of the surrounding pigeons and yelling crazy man. Later we made our way up to my parents' hotel and went to a great dinner in the Upper West Side. It was the first of many great meals- this is what we do when we're having the best time- we eat...On Friday I also had my interview with a temp agency and it seemed to go really well, but I was supposed to work today and they never called me, so I'm already a little doubtful of how it will work out...Keep your fingers crossed.

After dinner I got to show everyone my apartment, and was a little "disappointed" because the shock of how small it is was completely worn off because their hotel room was about half as big as my apartment. So it seemed big. Who would have known. It was still fun to show my apartment because I'm really proud of everything we've done with it. The party continued well into the night while we watched Jeopardy, and then we sent my parents back out through the projects to get back to their hotel. Don't worry- they made it and I don't even think any crazy people talked to them.

Saturday we walked through my favorite little walk in Central Park that's in all the movies and is so beautiful in the fall, and then down 5th Avenue- that's a great way to see all the sights- Rockefeller Center, Tiffany, Cartier, Radio City Music Hall, Prada- you know, places we go everyday....Even though there's about 100 people per square foot of space on 5th Avenue, no one panicked and we had a great time just taking it all in. Paul took us to a tiny deli for lunch and we got gigantic bacon and chicken sandwiches (bacon incident #1) and then we saw GREY GARDENS (imagine us yelling GREY GARDENS! all over the city- we were just doing our part to help market the show....all the time) It was so fun to see Paul be on Broadway- is that really possible? I mean really....but it was and it was great and everyone should tell all their friends to run around the streets shouting GREY GARDENS so Paul can keep being on Broadway.

Because Paul knows way more fun places to go in all parts of the city than we do, he took us to a great place near Times Square for margaritas after the show. Because the weather is so perfect lately we had cocktail hour outside and were able to watch even more crazy people. That night we had dinner in an Italian restaurant I always walk by and see the nice looking people having nice looking food in a nice looking restaurant and I always want to go in. So we finally got to, and now I will continue to watch all the nice-looking people and food and know that it really is very delicious and we should always eat there. We also left our GREY GARDENS ticket strategically placed so as to continue our marketing efforts.

Ok listen- there's still more to tell, including but not limited to Saved by the Bell, bacon incident #2, feet-like pickles, and all you can drink brunch, but I have to go to bed...Stay tuned for episode 2 tomorrow...
