I can die happy now.


Me and my boyfriend, Benny, at the United Center last night.  Bulls beat the NY Knicks 98-86, D-Rose sat (OF COURSE), but I've been giggling ever since at my meeting with Benny (or a very acrobatic and athletic young man in a large muppet suit, but I never seem to remember that's really what he is!).  Got his autograph, too:


Yes, believe it or not, I'm 49 years old.

The only part that irked me was when the crowd began chanting "New York sucks, New York sucks."  Not cool!  I told the woman next to me that I couldn't do that, I'm from New York, and she laughed and patted me on my back to comfort me.

Anyway...

Dumpster is full, painters have come and given an estimate to paint the outside corner of the house where water peeled off the paint and some water stains on the kitchen ceiling from before a dormer window was repaired, along with de-molding and painting the basement; guys from the local charity for homeless women and children will be here today to pick up furniture and kitchen stuff that I'm giving away.  More loads have been taken to storage (do I really, really need that stuff?  I told Steve I should live with just a mattress, a cup, a plate, a fork, knife and spoon, a TV and a computer).  Things are progressing, still.

But a man in a red furry suit has made me ridiculously giddy.  Thanks, Benny!

  2. Nice post. Since you are from New York, I would recommend you visit Bermuda. It isn't too far away and is simply beautiful. Here is a post I did about it. Beautiful Bermuda
