I'm sick. I got sick from...my boyfriend. I made him sick a few times before, so I guess it was my turn to get sick. It's annoying because I have so much to do at work right now and I just want to sleeeeep (which is what I'm gonna do in a few minutes). Oh well I'm still going out on the town tomorrow night.

So I've been wrestling with this issue of how many vacations to take this summer (seriously). I have an APSS (sleep research) conference in Denver in late June, and while I'm there I'm drinking and having fun and STILL getting paid so it'd be nice to go. Vacation number 2 is when Joe invited me to go to Las Vegas (also in late June) along with his family and Sue. Las Vegas would be REALLY fun and I'd love to go. Then there's San Jose which is where Andrew is from. His sister is getting married in August and I've been invited to the wedding, which means meeting his family and which means GOING TO CALIFORNIA which I've wanted to do forever and ever so there's no way I'm not going there.

That leaves numbers 1 and 2. If I don't go to Denver everyone at work will be mad, if I don't go to Vegas I'll be sad. Grrrr. I looked at a "multitrip" plane ticket today online and I could fly from Rochester to Denver to Las Vegas to Rochester again for only 400 dollars. This is a great price but I would have to stay in either Vegas or Denver by myself for a few days and fly and everything else by myself. Kinda scary.

What to do....what to do....I wish I could do it all. And I may be able to. However that means being completely broke.

You can do it! I flew to Chicogo and DC all by myself. It was scary but I feel empowered! I'm not going to Denver.

Well, as an update...I don't think I'm going to Denver either, so I won't have to fly by myself AND I'll save money!

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
