The Best Thing About Living In NYC...

...is going away for a bit and then coming back... seeing it through a tourist's eyes as we begin the descent into JFK and they say things like, "Oh my GOD! Look at all those lights!"

And I think, Yes, look at my City, shining bright. No other city greets me like this, twinkling with excitement because I'm finally home. Oh how I missed you, New York...

Even if it was FREEZING when I got here, even though it was a beautiful 80 degrees when I left Key West



*sigh*

That's Okay; I can't be too far from my City for too long, anyway.

So Key West was AWESOME as usual, Celia is ADORABLY ADORABLE as a momma-to-be, and I'm already plotting on my next visit down there.

The whole time I was humming this song in my head:



And as promised, here we are: Irene in a dress from the JUNIORS department, Celia as the glowing pregnant chick and me looking like I'm giving birth just two months after her.



I LOATHE my stomach!

Meanwhile, I found two garlic rolls on my table when I got in, leftover from the food Minnie and the girls had... one guess as to which greedy mo-fo hoovered it down as if it were her last meal?? Mhmm... I have ZERO self-control these days... I think I may need to get laid or somethi--

OOPS! Did I say that out loud???

*smooches...looking forward to snuggling up with N after just two days away from her*
----------
I found that lil heifer in my bed when I got home! she's lucky I love her...

lmao @ you hoovering down the garlic rolls... but them things are good and addictive... I thought I was the only one that liked going away just to come back... I just brought my ticket for thanksgiving and ended up getting it to stay a couple extra days past the weekend just so I could miss the city...

@eb- Child the level of eating I've been doing is seriously off the charts...

@dipsetjam- I know right? If only I could deal with that crazy hurricane season, I'd move down there, too!

@cathi- aw, hon, thanks! You would have loved it... and wait until I show you the Tshirt I bought, HA!

@jack- LMAOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'd hate to see what the screen on your phone looks like...

@darius- I didn't take any other pics, and even if I did I left my camera in Key West (because I'm such a genius!) and won't be getting it back for a few days :(

and BTW, I think I'm officially giving up on White Lines... I really tried, gave it the good old fashioned college try, but I cannot deal with this ghetto BS for much longer... all of the characters annoy me, no one is redeemable, and if they are towards the end I haven't the patience to wait for it.

Besides, the writing, although better than most urban lit I've read, leaves MUCH to be desired.. Ms. Brown needed a much better editor for her book than she got...

But I'll particiapte in the discussion; I did read a chunk of it after all, and I DO appreciate that you sent it my way.

@dessex- you should definitly go and take your lady; it's a lovely place for couples!

re: my last comment... lol... just keeping it real LOL
