A Visit From Mom

My mom flew out this week for a surprise last-minute visit from Wednesday to Friday. It was a really quick trip, but my parents are still trying to figure out if they’re going to buy a place in Battery Park so that’s why she came. They’re trying to negotiate with the developer, who is so far being really stubborn in spite of the declining economy – what a dummy. It was fun having her though. She, Paul and I went to an amazing Greek food restaurant for dinner Wednesday night. In fact it was so good that I went back the next night LOL! It was kind of a fluke because Kristin was going to have me and Ashley over for a girls night, but then her husband ended up staying home so we decided to just meet in the middle (Union Square) for drinks and dinner and I suggested the Greek place, etc etc. I called my mom and invited her to join us and we had a great time. I, like always, drank a little too much wine, but hey, I think that’s just how life is in the city. You either keep drinking or you go home. And pacing myself is just not really an option, I at least try though. I always have a great time with Kristin (my NY BFF) and Ashley, one of her best friends from growing up. We’re already plotting our next night out in a couple weeks. Our husbands always get nervous when we hang out because we always end up coming back drunk. I never sleep well when I drink wine though so I’m pretty tired today. At least I have a nice, mellow dinner with my two sisters-in-law tonight, who are both pregger’s so there won’t be too much partying going on. It’s supposed to be beautiful this weekend – in the 50’s! woot woot! – so I’m planning on going hiking. I’ll take lots of pics and post them soon.
