Random thoughts

Okay, Never Mind

I've been trying to hold out on posting for the longest time because I wanted to post some pictures along with the new post. But I haven't gotten around to touching the pictures I wanted to share, so I guess this will have to do for now. This is me and Marc in New York (brrr!), where I had the greatest time. We took the subway to all the different neighborhoods, and walked our feet sore. The memories are all jumbled up in my mind now, and an accurate recount of the events might be beyond me, but all in all, it was just great. I ran into an old acquaintance at this random cafe close to Canal Street too, which was crazy because 1. I hadn't seen her since college in Manila, 2. We weren't close then but she actually still remembered me, and 3. What were the odds of running into her on this particular cafe at that exact time? Geez!

Anyway, it was hard getting back to work, I had to wean myself slowly off the vacation high. Jetlag wasn't so bad - we went to bed late every night and slept late in the morning, so it was like operating on West Coast time. We were pretty pooped by the time we got back though, because our flight was delayed, and we were both restless and not in the best of moods. It was a great blessing to have my uncle pick us up instead of having to wait for a cab or a bus. Whew!

I'll post a picture from New York next time with me wearing the blue scarf I knitted. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I am about to finish a replica of it in an off-white shade for my uncle - estimated time of accomplishment: tonight. Then the next one is a frilly narrow scarf in a deliciously outrageous orange shade. Yum!
