So Here I Am In NYC ...(WAS in NYC)

     ...and I have a fucking stuffy head. UGH!!   I canceled my nail appointment as I just couldn't think of sitting there for the better part of an hour sniffling and hoping I don't sneeze on the nail tech  LOL I am seeing Sis later though, she is cooking for us and I want to see her, its been too long. We are going to the mall if I can and if not I will have her go then I will meet her later. I still have to color my hair also. What? yes i alter my shade. I was blonde for many years and now i needed a change again. So dark auburn it is. I like it and I can do it myself, unlike the blonde that in my opinion needs to be done professionally or you get brassy. My girl still cuts my hair, so no 1980's rocker girl look anymore. I may go back to blonde in the summer, who knows :-D
     I had a very smooth trip up from VA, only little burp was in Staten Island but that nothing new. LOL Oh man, about a year ago they were widening the roadway and getting across S.I. was such a clusterfuck. If you didnt get there by midnight they closed the entire roadway and you had to go on the side road. So the entire Staten island expressway was guided onto a two lane access road. NOT FUN!! They are still putting final touches on but for the most part its complete and much better. There was construction on the New Jersey Turnpike also but on a Thursday night it wasn't an issue and as we drove past the construction workers I felt bad for them. its was very cold and you could see their breath hanging in the air and few of them were blowing into their hands to warm them up. Little safety vested oompa loompas paving and smoothing the roads. HEHE Better men than I Gunga Din, or something akin to that. :-D
     So had tea with my Da when I got there, and he wanted to carry my duffel bag upstairs but no, wouldn't allow it. It was way too heavy.
     So the rest of the weekend was great. Saw Sis on Friday and she made the most delicious chicken stoop.  So yummy then we played with make up. She gave me so many cool things to play with, Lots of make up and clothes and cooking spices.
     The trip home was great as well, took Dad to church then this lady that helped him out of the car had just missed her bus so I drove her the 5 blocks to her destination and she offered to buy me a coffee in return, I declined as I had to get gong but to make a long story short, 45 minutes later we were still talking. She was very nice and perhaps about 10 years older than myself.  She said she will look for my dad when she goes to the noon mass and then maybe they could go for coffee as she said he seems like he likes to have fun.  Told my dad and he was like, maybe I can ask her out for coffee. I don't know WHAT I was thinking  lol   oh boy, go dad.  LOL
   So as far as VA is concerned all is good. Out new phones came and I love it, the screen is bigger for one, LOL    The main thing is that it costs just about half of what we were paying. I can still facetime and all using my old phone as an Ipod but it has to be on a wifi.  But facebook messenger has its own version of facetime plus there is google duo that's the same and that ole standby  Skype  LOL   So my friends can still see me if they want to :-D      I do like seeing them as we speak, its a great feature  lol
     Well other than that its been peaceful, to day is the anniversary of my MIL passing, its been 7 years already, time flies bioy. Hubs is sad but okay. Love him and hate seeing him upset. I know how he feels so I understand his emotions today.   So to stay out of the way tonight I will be finally writing out my christmas cards.  I hope my overseas friends get them in time.  But what I was saying is that hubs will need some alone time tonight. Shrimp scampi is on the menu for dinner and I will be here if he needs me but I will also let him do his own thing. Talk, or stay alone, its all his call tonight.
    Well break is almost over and I want to get some tea so ciao for now peeps  x
