1 Down, 1 To Go

Found out last night that Michelle is a lover of all things fireworks. She loves the colors, the brightness, the loudness and the timing of a fireworks display done right. This led me to cashing in some of the favors that are owed to me by various people.

At first I was going to rent a room in NYC but a quick browse of some travel sites, squashed that idea. [I do want to impress but not at the expense of going bankrupt!!] So I did the next best thing - found out which friend of a friend of a friend is in the NYC area and going away this Saturday, and who'd be willing to lend their place to me for a night. I received way more responses than I imagined I would [Thanks everybody!!], and one couple even wanted to pay me to go to their place so I could also walk and feed their dog!! I settled on a place across from NYC in Hoboken NJ, because I actually knew the people who would be lending me their place and have visited them before. I was concerned that we wouldn't get to see much of the display but then I found this:

At approximately 9:20 pm on July 4th, the 26-minute display will be set off from six barges positioned between 24th and 50th Streets on the Hudson River.

So based on Google maps, we should have a very good view of the fireworks show. We're headed down to NYC on Friday to spend the day, Saturday we're going to explore all that Hoboken has to offer and then leave shortly after the fireworks, once the traffic has thinned out. I'm currently researching places to eat even though the townhouse has a kickass kitchen - top of the line appliances, silestone island, and will be fully stocked. I'd love to give it a test drive, but I'm hopeful that there'll be other things that I'll be doing other than cooking.

Now that I've got it all planned out, I think it's time to run it by Michelle and hope that she likes it, and says yes =)

My makeup date for Beth is going to be a bit tougher to plan out. I tried calling her to get a feel of what she's into but she has yet to return my calls/texts. I hope that's not a sign, cause it's a bad one =(

Much Thanks

To the lovely reader that sent me these pics after catching up on all my posts so far. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and hope that my upcoming posts get you all hot and bothered as well. And thanks for allowing me to post this.



It was a welcome email last night after a long and quite eventful weekend. I wish that it included lots of fun and that I had some hot steamy stories to tell but alas, the first sunny weekend in a long time and I was out working unexpectedly.
I had to cancel with Beth and Michelle both of whom I was really looking forward to see. Michelle and I had plans to go to a Feast that had lots of food, games and rides while Beth and I were going to catch my new favorite movie, The Hangover. Both were very understanding yet quite disappointed.

I'm not sure how I'll make it up to them but I know it's gotta be something over the top and unforgettable. I hate when I get cancelled on last minute and certainly try not to do it to other people. But sometimes life does get in the way and there's not much you can do about it, especially when it's your livelihood on the line.
