POST CARDS FROM NEW YORK:

Happy November! There was actually a tiny bit of crispness in the California air on Halloween and it felt so good!  November is a favorite of mine, I know, I said that about October too, OK so they are both my favorites. November is just a warm your heart, drink apple cider, plan Thanksgiving kind of month, so what could be bad!?!

Early in October I had the chance to take a quick four day weekend in New York to visit my daughter who was working there on a film. As I'm from NY I love when I get to visit my oldest and dearest friends, hang out in Manhattan and play tourist a little. Thank goodness for my busy husband who needed to stay home and also take care of our three fur babies. I wanted to make the most out of the four days so I took a red eye on a Wednesday night.  I knew from past experience that this was probably a mistake since I'm no longer young enough to fake looking good after sleep deprivation. I have a history of not sleeping on planes, (hello cranky delirious zombie after 14 hours of Sex and The City re-runs to Europe). But I made a serious attempt, I bought Advil PM, but lost it somewhere between CVS and the airplane. Sleepy Time Tea worked, for about 5 minutes. With each trip to the bathroom it became more and more apparent that me and the pilot were the only ones on the plane that were awake. But I pushed through and had that extra day on Thursday and so much fun connecting with my peeps :)

So here are a few of my favorite pictures from this trip. I'm sad that I don't have one of me, my sister and my two girlfriends because it's a group that's never together!  But I guess it's a sign we were having such a good time that we forgot to take pictures.  On the upside it was raining and I had bad hair.

This is how far away from me you have to be to take my picture after I've been awake for 48 hours.

 Love them
 Nothing like a rainy day in New York
