Odds & Ends

New York City sure has some of the best people-watching and weird happenings that I have ever experienced. Last week as I was walking to work I had a man dressed in a sandwich suit (he was handing out coupons for the corner deli shop) say "Eat me, baby" to him as I walked by. If anyone has ever seen the episode of Sex and The City where this happens to Miranda, you'll understand why I was almost in tears laughing as I walked the rest of the way to the subway! I also had a pretty cool steel drum band play some tunes on my subway ride to work last week- it was a separate day.

Matt and I went to visit our friends Ted and Katie Hart at their family get together at their lake house in Conneticut last weekend- they called it a "hoe-down". They were such great hosts, and there were a ton of events and activities for the family planned (lots of younger kids), like a tug-of-war, egg toss, sack races, a juggler, a mariachi band, and swimming and intertubing on the lake with the boat. Everything was followed up with a feast of bratwursts, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and mountains of salads and desserts. I was tempted to get up for some karaoke, but the kids had the mike so I didn't want to butt in. :) Most of all, it was great just to spend time with some great friends from home.

Still waiting on updates with the job I have been interviewing for...
and waiting....
Keep the prayers and good luck coming my way!
