A fun night out with my man

Spencer and I, and his buddy Denim and his mum, took the boys into the City the other night for quite the night. After the subway ride in (which they thought was part of the deal!) we went to Top of The Rock, at Rockefeller Plaza, and saw the most amazing sunset. Then we literally crossed the block to the Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes. It was so much fun, especially because a friend of mine, Stacey, is a Rockette, so she took us backstage after to see everything. AMAZING!! Then we topped it off with dinner at a 'SHOE-SHI" restaurant and had the best time. Despite Spencer shooting edamame across the place at fellow diners, it was a successful night out.

Royal Wedding Date - April 29, 2011, a date that has other meaning

So the lucky couple have set a date. Friday, April 29. I had a feeling this date would be picked when they uttered the words 'Spring or Summer' for the wedding - Summer is miles away and the Royals never seem to have long engagements, so this date was in my head for a week (and why oh why didn't I go to the bookies...) - anyway, it happens to fall on Spencer's FIFTH Birthday next year and was planning on taking him to Disney World for it, but I am such a Royal Wedding Nut (I even watched Prince Edwards big day, how pathetic is that?!) that I have to be up watching it, even with a time difference - SO.. question is, how do I convince my son on his fifth birthday that watching the Royal wedding will be a lot more fun that Disney??

NYC Marathon 2010

Another successful party at our pad for the Marathon. We had about 45 people at our 1000sq ft pad. We went through 26 bottles of prossecco and 3 gallons of Vodka. We all waited in the freezing (but dry) cold to see Meredith Viera and Al Roker from The Today show that were running but failed to spot them. Boo hoo.

Aside from that, and also not able to spot the Chilean miner, here are some pics from a really fun day. Check out Mataro in the corner, jeeze, if he can do it, surely I can one of these years?!!

Spidey Men and November in the Park

The spiderman shots were just emailed to me. Spencer and his buddy Charlie, both showed up wearing the same Spidey costume on Halloween w/end. Here they are horsing around at Pier 6 in Brooklyn. Then just had a BUSY w/end. Had the inlaws up for the NYC Marathon and our 5th Annual Party (see later post). TONS of fun. Here are some cute shots of the kids pre Marathon.

Halloween Magic

We threw a kids only party to celebrate Halloween (halloweew according to Target's spelling on their banner). I morphed into Paul Daniels and did some magic tricks which actually went pretty well (I see a second calling here). Spence was the only one having a miserable photo (see other post). My wonderful neighbour, Alyssa, came down to be my 'magical assistant'. The box trick was the best treat of the night.

Then on halloween night, I morphed into Snooki from Jersey Shore. I can't tell you how many photos were taken off me in the streets of Brooklyn. Every time I turned around, an IPhone was in my face taking my photo. If that's what fame is like, No Thanks!

It's My Party and I WILL cry if I want to...

The only kid not having a good time at his own party..

Oprah and me...

As many of you know, I wrote my first script (actually second, but first that anyone showed any interest!) - DORIS, about a home shopping network. I even sent it to Oprah, of course it went nowhere that route... David Schwimmer even allegedly took an interest in it via the production company that picked it up (and dropped it three years later). So as you all know, I filed it away and wrote two more.

Lo and behold, in reading this weeks Entertainment Weekly (best magazine ever), and this is the bullseye - Oprah, and only of the two hottest movie actresses ever, Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep (and Oprah) doing a movie about.. A Home Shopping Network!! My dream realised, only this time, my name not associated with it. BOO HOO!! Gods were against me on that one I guess...
