It is 65 degrees out this morning and I find that chilly.  There is supposed to be a low of 60 degrees tomorrow.  I find these temperatures too cold for my thinned blood.  Of course, earlier this week in NYC it was much colder at night - but then again I wasn't riding a scooter to work.  I am headed to NYC on Sunday.  This time I am going to be prepared with much warmer clothes and a scarf and gloves.  My mom said there were flurries in PA yesterday.  I hope that means that it might snow on Thanksgiving.  That would be fun.

Last night was the finale of America's Next Top Model.  Besides confirming the fact that Tyra drinks too much red bull, the tall, gawky McKey won the show.  It wasn't much of a surprise.  Somers made some yummy Morrocan food in their tagine and we topped that off with some Gato Negro.  An in expensive wine that I like to buy in honor of Miss Kitty Kempe.  Here is Kitty on the left posing with the wine bottle.

I was in NYC the past couple of days.  Monday, I had a meeting and I took Tuesday as a vacation day to go shopping with my Mom there.  It was quite chilly but a good time.  Sunday night, I finally got to see Grimm's house and had a fun birthday dinner with her, Beth, Lauren, Allison and Catherine.  Monday night, Jill, my Mom and I had a wonderful dinner at Cornelia Street Cafe.  Jeff was stuck at work and wasn't able to join us.  Tuesday night, Jill, Jeff, Gene and I ate at Gruppo- a great pizza spot in the East Village.  Tuesday, my Mom made our way up to Macys which was a warzone with so many shoppers.  We then headed up to midtown to have lunch with Jill and shop around Saks.  I took this picture as we trekked from the subway to Rockefeller Center.  If you ever wondered what the tree looked like before the big unveiling... here it is.  Covered in scaffolding.

I couldn't help but to add some more pictures of my friends from Homecoming.  The first is of Susanna and me at Diamondback on Saturday after dinner.  The second is me, Amy, Beth and Jess at the tailgate.

To counterbalance the gross picture in the post below, here is a picture of a few of us from last weekend.  Elizabeth, Allison, me, the Deacon, Louise, Amy and Megan.
