Blugh, so it's been awhile.
Well, this past week has been jam-packed for me, so that seems as good a place as any to start. These pictures are in no particular order.
Nick's picture was on the front page of the New York Times online!! And he's reading the book I gave him! Awesome.
Caitlin came to NYC and we had sooo much fun!! I took her and Nick to their first Musical Monday and we all had a blast.
Welcome to NYC. Here is a huge pile of trash in the subway.
I let caitlin borrow my yankees hat when she was cold. She complained about wearing anything that made it look like she supports baseball, then accidentally gave it to a homeless man. Sigh.
I accidentally walked through the huge NYC pillowfight in Union Square the other day. It was madness.
My friend Emily came to town! You may or may not remember her as my friend from New London who now works with ringling bros.
Ok, I know this picture is blurry and not of elephants, but she snuck me into the circus on it's day off and I got to see the elephants and all the other animals!! IT. WAS. AWESOME!!!
My friend Leon's band had a show in a polish disco nightclub that also has punk concerts before 10? It was weird. Here's some bathroom pics.
One of the best melted plugs I've seen.
OMG, I found the mythical wafel truck!!! Tara and I heard of the wafel truck months ago and actually walked by it. The wafels are real belgium wafels and better than I imagined. I had the soft and chewy one with Spekuloos sauce. It's kinda hard to describe, but it's kinda like a cross between peanut butter and graham crackers. It's good.
View from my train home.
Rainbow squid attack shirt I made for Alli and Melinda.
Here's a sensor rack I'm fixing, in case you were wondering what I do at work.
I took caitlin to the Met. Isn't this amazing? It's made of candy wrappers and bottle caps.
Caitlin is a newly converted vegetarian, so I took her to a lot of vegan restaurants. This meal is 100% vegan and really delicious.
More public bathrooms.
So, among with other things, apparently Bill Clinton was in our building the other day. All I know is me and Tara made a game of seeing how many policemen/SS agents hanging out on the roofs around us we could get to wave at us (2 cops in case you were wondering). BUT Lauryn Hill was also in the building the other day. I totally spent half the day trying to casually run into her so I could strike up a conversation (starting of course by mentioning my name was Lauren too) and somehow get her to sing Joyful Joyful to me. It didn't work. But for all you who need reminding, or perhaps if you haven't seen Sister Act 2 to begin with, here is the link to the finale:

It's in German, so here's what you need to know; that person who comes in late is Lauryn Hills mom who doesn't support her singing, she is a rebel, and backstage Whoopi is saying "Take off your robes. If we're gonna lose, we're gonna lose as ourselves." It's amazing!! Melodrama and some truely amazing 90s fashions.
A co-worker made a makeshift chandelier.
Oh man, there was so much free pie at work one day!!
I was so full of pie that day.
This is why I hate rentals. After a busy month, all our rentals, probably from at least 5 different places, get literally thrown together on the 5th floor and Tara tells me to go sort them, other people will join me later. And this is what I open the door and see.
Took me a half hour just to move all the ladders.
Kelly's fire escape.
Nick made this meal for me, which by the way is riccota cheese ravioli with shredded cheddar cheese on top. He went grocery shopping for this meal. He handed it to me, then told me that maybe I could make grocery lists for him when we live together, because he doens't know what to buy. It made me laugh.
creepy sign in the park.
I love this! Also in central park.
I wen to the park with Karyn on one of my days off.
Angel in a cage. Very weird.
