Went to CVS Pharmacy today to have a few pictures developed from my vacation. It was a trying morning (see previous post) with a headache, almost as if I was on some sort of delayed hangover reaction. Maybe it was as today was the first day in about a week I had no alcohol. The do-it-yourself photo machine wouldn’t stop talking at me in a loud voice. When I asked the photo clerk if there was “any way to shut the machine up because it’s loud and I don’t need it yelling at me,” he simply looked at me and laughed, saying he’d never had anyone complain that they didn’t need the instructions.

In other news, yes, that is a Venti Soy White Mocha in my hand. Like I said, it was a trying morning and it’s close enough to Easter that I’m sure Jesus would understand my pain. He lived around a bunch of idiots who eventually killed him. I live around a bunch of idiots who can’t give me a set of pictures and who I honestly believe will eventually kill me if I don’t get out.

My last night in NYC was spent with my #1 reason for going to NYC every time. My boos and the loves of my life.

Tameeka, Cole and Patrice – My Ride or Die Putas.

It was a gorgeous day in NYC today so I spent a few hours just walking through Central Park … as did a whole lot of other people.

A day late as last night we shut down the bar at 4am, proceeded to cab it home and have the most amazing BLT and Philly cheese steak sammiches ever. Maybe it was because a late night snack at 5:30am will always taste good or they really were the most amazing sammiches ever but they were just what I needed after a long night of beer drinking.

I finally found a beer I like, not one that I just can drink like Amstel Light or Blue Moon. I think it’s called an Abita Amber but I kept fucking up the name so at one point I just handed someone money and said “That one!”

Today’s Picture of the Day was stolen from my girl, beanie knitter extraordinaire, JessNYC. Here’s Emmy and I looking mad fash. The only reason I really remember this moment was because 30 seconds before this I looked at Emmy and Jess and said, “I’m fucked up!” and proceeded to drop it like it was hot in my brand new freakum jeans.

Day 2 in New York.

After 5 hours of sleep I woke up and made my way on the subway down to my first massage of Spa Week. Followed by shopping on Broadway and my first facial.

On my way back I saw a skunk and a banana playing music in the subway station.

We ended the night heading to Broooklyn at 2am for a dubstep party where I danced so hard I sweat through my shoe. Traffic was so bad that our cabbie played Angry Birds at stoplights.

Cabbed it from JFK to my hotel in Manhattan today instead of taking the subway like usual ’cause I’m fancy.

Today’s shenanigans included such things as 2 beers, getting my hair cut and dyed (purple wash), not getting lost not even once walking and riding the subway, karaoke, 7 or 8 cranberry vodkas, kissing a foreign dude, dancing my ass off, seeing my boo and singing “Reunited and it feels so good” as we hugged, getting dry humped on the dance floor by a straight boy, feeling up another straight boy’s abs and a bunch of other shit that I won’t post here because my nieces may read this blog and I still have to look at y’all in the eyes at some point.

And all this was day one.

Flying out to NYC in the morning and I checked in to this hotel I usually stay at because you can leave your car here and they provide a free shuttle to and from the airport. Walking to my car I spotted this little guy. Not having my phone on me, I ran back to my room to make sure I could snap a picture.

Worked a couple of extra hours to get all my stuff wrapped up before I left.

This is the exact moment when I was driving home, looked at the clock and screamed, “I’m on vacation, putas!”

Got a Johnny Cupcakes t-shirt today from the BFF of 15+ years since she was down in El Lay this weekend. Works out perfectly because she knows exactly what I like and I was missing just one more outfit for my vacation. Now I’m ready to roll with new shoes, new shirts, new freakum jeans and new monkey chonies.
