Went ice skating tonight in Bryant Park...with our own skates!! woot! Though I have to say, the breaking in process is going to hurt. A lot. Luckily skating at Bryant Park is free if you have your own skates and its open until Jan. 15th So Rick and I can go a couple of times a week if we wanted to. Rick is really enjoying getting better at the basic tricks and whatnot. I am trying to show how but I am not a very good explainer of stuff;) On my side, I am having so much fun just being on the ice and sliding around. It brings me back to my childhood...when I was like twelve I got a pair of rollarblades for my birthday and I hardly ever took them off for the next three years. Every afternoon after school I would strap on my skates and head off for the basketball court-which was ideal for perfecting my little tricks. Hours would go by and I would just get lost in the wonderful feeling of gliding around in the fresh air. *sigh* good times!

Three months later and the skins are in a "rebuilding year." *sigh* Oh well...at least the Bears are good (well their defense is anyways).

Rick and I moved into the apartment I mentioned the last time I wrote. The move was surprisingly easy, thanks to the help of a couple of friends. The neighborhood is really nice and cheerful and two of my good friends from Fordham live within a two minute walk of our apartment. I get to hang out with them at least once a week (when we all watch The Amazing Race), which is so great. I was beginning to feel as though I only saw them when it was someone's birthday. Tomorrow night we are going to go see the new James Bond at our neighborhood movie theater (super tuesdays are $4!).

Thanksgiving was really nice. I went home to DC and hung out with my brother and sister and parents. I would have to say that the highlight of the whole day was when Caty and I beat everyone else at Trivial Pursuit (Jimmy Buffet! Richard III!). The Saturday after Thanksgiving I was back in NYC attending my friend Mary's wedding. Honestly the best wedding ever:) I will be posting pictures....at some point. Best not to committ too much at this point!

My boss is going to Finland tomorrow and I am completely beside myself with jealousy. He gets to go and see my friends in Jyvaskyla (hi friends!) who I miss so dearly. I just managed to get all of my pics from those two months (all 2,000 of them) uploaded onto my kodakgallery website. I look at them and think about how I am going to get back there someday. When is the big question...now might be the time to mention that I take monetary donations;)
