So I was running late to meet K, M & B for Sex and the City and I grabbed a cab. I got stuck in major traffic on the West Side Highway so I took a breath and looked out the window. WOW!! 
J took me for pizza in Hoboken and I couldn't believe the size of the slice!! Check it out next the fork!! SO GOOD!!
Today was a wonderful day. It was one of the best birthdays I can remember in a LONG time. I woke up to flowers from K which I took to work. I then found a gift card and balloon from V. My team at work then presented me with an Ipod Nano since my Dell DJ is on the way out. Then I grabbed dinner with J in Hoboken on my way to rehearsal. I left early and met P and to see Pillow Talk in Chelsea. It's one of my favorite old movies. I remember watching Rock Hudson movies with my mom and this one was one of our favorites. It was fun to share it with P. Then we went to Burritoville for a LATE dinner and he gave me some wonderful gifts. He gave me a sock that he knit for me. (I think I get the other one next year!) then he gave me an Ipod Touch!! WHAT what? I have been wanting one but didn't really see it in the budget for the near future. He engraved it with a lyric from a song that is very speical to me. But the best gift he gave me was a little handmade book of rememberances from the past six months. Just funny personal things that only he and I would really understand plus Lucy and Ellie wrote me some poems. What smart dogs. Who knew they could write?!? It was so thoughtful and special to me. The effort that he put into it, and everything for that matter, is what really touched me. So often in my life my birthday has been negative and for P to make it so bright was really amazing.
I sure do love that guy!
After agonizing over it for over half a year I've upgraded to a smart phone. Or as I like to call it...a Gifted and Talented Phone. I LOVE IT!! I worked a decent deal since my contract was up. I had to realize that no matter how current I am with a phone or what have you the next one will be out before I know it. So I celebrate that I have a great phone that I really enjoy. And before you ask...I didn't want an Iphone. I don't want to be told what company I have to use for service and I don't love the touch keypad. I MUCH prefer the buttons on Curvy!! This was my early birthday gift to myself. 
This is a shot of the Lakawanna tower in Hoboken. Can you tell where I've been spending my time lately?
So as I walked down Washington St in Hoboken I stumbled upon this sight in front of the Johnny Rockets. I had to take a picture. I must admit I find garbage interesting for some reason. Anyway I found this fascinating. THREE garbage cans full of empty ketchup bottles. I wonder how many days this is from? I hope it's all recycled. 
This is a shot of a picture for sale on Washington St in Hoboken. Since I love Cherry Blossoms I had to take a picture. 
This is the building next the Ferry Tower. I pass all the time but on this particular day I noticed it's charm.
In all the time I've spent in Hoboken these past few years I only just noticed that this tower says "Lakawana Ferry" on it. It reminds me of a line in "Hair" about the Lakawana Ferry. Who Knew?
We've moved up from breakfast hor'dourves to the big leagues. These are organic blueberry waffles (Do you like Waffles?) with coconut oil, cashew butter, dried cranberries, walnuts, sauted banana, coconut, blackberry maple syrup and whipped cream!! :) They were super tasty if I do say so myself. Look out IHOP!!
I noticed this on the way to P's place. The buildings look mostly the same but the most noticeable thing to me is the different colored awnings. I really liked them.
As I walked across Bryant Park this evening I noticed this monument and inscription. I never knew who it was named after. 
This is the Cherry Blossom tree on my block. I've been waiting for it to bloom. Sadly it will only be there for few weeks!
