Well, it seems that the valencia cup hath runneth over...Yes, the Starbucks by the 86th & Lex 4/5/6 has permanently run out of valencia syrup!, meaning no more mocha valencias!

The Rockettes were great in the toy soldier number, and there were live camels and donkeys in the nativity scene! It just doesn't get much better than that, seriously.

My flight was delayed two hours, each way! And taking two trains to get to Newark Airport sucked. No big deal though I suppose...I made it there and back, safe and ( Read more... )

My little puppy Brewster was neutered this morning...I hope he's okay! The breeder said that he was up and running around about an hour and a half after the surgery...she said he's such a happy puppy and that he loves everyone! Today he is also 8 weeks old, which means that I get to bring him home in two and a half weeks! Sooo excited ( Read more... )
