Sunday Brunch party rooftop Manhattan......

Yesterday was Sunday and like most Sundays in Manhattan groves of trendy and lively people flock to rooftop brunch parties. Yesterday a few friends and I started the brunch party off at Sky Bar in Times Square, but off the beaten path. I must say it was quite fun, there were the sexiest group of people there and my eyes danced with envy as I eyeballed their fashion cense. We enjoyed the brunch party until about 8pm when we decided to switch venues. We headed over to STK's rooftop no party but relaxing. Upon our arrival to the most amazing rooftop ever we were overwhelmed with what the sky was offering. It appeared that the city was conducting a trial run for next weeks fireworks display! So yep you guessed it the entire sky was lighting up with explosions from fireworks, the booms they cave off shook the table and my chest. I gazed upon this beautiful wonder until its booms were done out. Wow! Really a NY experience indeed. I just could not believe how wonderful i was feeling and how blessed i know i am. After the fireworks we dined on ahi taco which were so miniature you barely hold them, I was annoyed as i was expecting a bit of a larger meal then that. I was starving and this was the typical over priced menu with mini servings. Along with the mini taco i sipped on a tasty sangria. We shared in some excellent conversation and laughs before deciding to head out to yet another remarkable NY venue. We ended up at an exclusive club then we raveled to another club by the name of Juliet. The night was full of dancing and socializing. The entire day had been perfect, as it started for me at 8am when i started the day with tanning on the rooftop at my apt. You see now don't you, perfect day. Tanning, brunch on rooftops in the greatest city in the world, then hours of dancing. Well at about 4am my feet were still in the same heels and the dress that was once comfy was no longer but a deep reflection of the opposite of comfy. I hailed a cab and parted ways with my friends and off to my home i went. Traveling like a girl in a modern day dream. Once again I enjoyed myself to the fullest. Yeah!

Just another night in Manhattan under the spring stars and explosive amount of trees...

Life is funny as I already knew this but I am continually reminded.

Yesterday I had a picnic in Central Park with a friend we will cal him MR. x from this point on. What great romantic fun we had. Our journey started by meeting each other outside of the train station and then we proceeded to walk to the park together. Before meeting though I sneaked and stopped by a Bakery called Two Little Red Hens which was highly recommended. When I walked in my eyes were dancing with delight upon all the yummilicious treats and atmosphere. The place was just as perfect as could be. Deciding on the treats was an easy decision, I selected a pretty good mix of mini cupcakes, ginger cookie and a lemon bar. Seeing how I had no idea if Mr. X even likes treats and if so which ones so now you see the reason for the variety.I figured that would be nice to bring some delightful treats for a delightful person, so thats just what I did.

On our way to the park We stopped at Dean and Delucas to get our picnic yummies ( might I ad it is only one of my fave markets ever). We got crackers w quacamoli, water and sandwiches. It was apparent by the wine bag he was holding that he had already stopped to picked up wine of some sorts :). We joyfully left D & Ds laughing and talking our way right to Central Park. Once we were inside the park we walked around a bit until we saw the perfect bright green grassy area with a perfect opening under a variety of beautiful and shaded trees. Once we got closer we noticed that most of the bright green lushish grass did not exist and we were cracking up because from farther away it looked so full. After a bit of cracking up we found a grassy spot and put my Hello Kitty blanket down for us to picnic on. He thought it was funny I had a HK blanket but I did not share in his humor as I am used to HK stuff and dont think he is much, used to HK that is.

After enjoying not only the food and wine but lots and lots of laughs and chats the sun went down and it was dark. Once again we seemed to burn through hours together while feeling like we just got there. I think we both could have stayed on that blanket under the trees and stars for maybe i dont know..... forever! We dances a bit while listening to my i pod, MR. X gazing at me with the sweetest smile ever. By this time we had pretty much finished off everything including the champaign but before doing so...................
Mr X noticed something behind me as we were sitting facing each other. So he pulled me up quickly cause it was a big ol raccoon!! Who was coming right for us. At that point I was like ahhhh to the raccoon to scare it away. Well it worked for about 0 seconds! He came right back and then another one was with him! There were New York City Central Park Raccoons coming to picnic with us and quickly might I ad. Thank God for the quick thinking of Mr. X who took two of the bottles and started to clang them together to scare them off. Which worked too but only because Mr.x chased them while clanging until they ran across the street! Wow that was so close for us. can you imagine if we would have gotten attacked by CP Raccoons ooo no!! We agreed that was definatly a sign that our time there was up. So we quickly...ok really quickly loaded all of our stuff up and headed off into the New York City night.......

Summerish yeah

Well well well the sun and beautiful temperature have decided to show themselves. I for one could not be happier. This winter was very long and dumped tons of snow that lasted what felt like forever. Currently I am feeling the wrath of the sun and long winter through the intense burn I am left with after spending most of yesterday on "Tar Beach" AKA rooftop lounge area. Thanks to Aloe, not the sunscreen that I clearly did not apply enough, I am feeling better then I was yesterday. I am as red as a Maine Lobster. You would think I would know better, which I do, but I got a little over zellus with the Summer feeling. I am just thrilled that Summer is almost here.

Fall is in the air. Although fall in Florida is not quite like the fall most people know. A bit cooler for us than normal and snowbird seaso...
