Hi! Hi hi hi.

I am writing this, live and in-person from New York City,  but on my phone because I cannot get the hotel's WiFi to work. So I shall be brief because this feels like I'm typing a really really long text message and the only times I write really really long text messages is because I'm either super mad at someone ("here is everything I would say to you on the phone but won't because I don't call people on the phone!! thus I shall attempt to resolve our conflict in the least productive way!!")...or if I've been ignoring their text message for a long time and have to explain my bullshit reasons for doing that. 

So since I'm not mad at anyone, let me state that my bullshit reasons for ignoring my blog are 1) yesterday was my birthday, 2) Jason surprised me with a little just-us getaway to NYC, and 3) I'm 39 now, Jesus. I feel like that will be an excuse for a lot of things, going forward.

The weather here has been gorgeous so we've mostly just done a lot of aimless walking, shopping and drifting from wine bar to wine bar. I slept in LAAAAAATE. We saw Avenue Q on Monday and are seeing Falsettos later today. I took the following super touristy photos:

And an obligatory birthday selfie after treating myself to a professional blowout and curling-iron-ing:

And also this, which about sums things up:

I'll be back home tomorrow and shall post a much belated-Christmas update, in which A Child Learned the Truth About Santa TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS Oh Happy Day, That Was a Fun Conversation, but also lots of super excited kids and baffled pets. Okay I'm about to murder my phone and Typepad's mobile site so byeeeeee.
