I looked in the mirror, and I felt good with what I saw, despite the fact I was still in my pajamas at 12 in the afternoon. I worked quite a bit on my sweater I'm knitting (more like a cardigan) and I am so pleased with my progress.
Lookie here! (If everything lines up the way I hope it will when I typed this on my phone...if not, then is the purpilish thing on the black and white carpet)
On Monday, I went out with my mon and one of my aunts, shopping in the Bronx. Even though I had no money and I was really wanting a whopper jr from the Burger King down the street, I had a good time, at least by the time we left Dr. Jays (I'm not much for sports apparel). We ended up at this store around the corner that sells those housewares stuff like kitchen curtains that have ducks and flowers all over them. So not my taste at all but my mom and my aunt seem to love them. I did find this beautiful comforter set that would match with my room perfectly. Unfortunately it didn't match with the money in my wallet which was just enough to get me home. I'm just going to hope it's still there when I come back in November.
I actually came down to New York for one of my cousin's wedding. Because of this wedding, I had a veal and cheese dumpling that was delicious and I wish I could have taken some home. I also realized New Rochelle, he city (or county, or borough, or whatever the heck it's called) is one of my ideal places in the US to live if they had the health care coverage like they do in Canada and I had a job that could support the housing....and my drivers license since none of my New York family is within busing distance.
I had a great time while I was out here (yeah, I haven't actually left yet but that's happening tomorrow). I'm sad that I'm missing the family 4th of July BBQ next week but what can I do? I still need to find work back in my home country in time to accumulate vacation time and get to use it for New York in November
G'nite to my non-existent readers :) off to sleep so I can enjoy my last day here.
PS: maybe tomorrow I'll put up a couple of shots of the scenery from my trip
