Had house guests – my friend Beth and her daughter Ceileidh.<\/p>\n
We felt like we walked 60 miles yesterday. Last night, we all fell into bed, groaning in pain.<\/p>\n
What did we do?<\/p>\n
— Pedicures. (Paraffin wax pedicures. HIGHLY recommend it)<\/p>\n
— Metropolitan Museum. Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci exhibit … with other realist painters influenced by those 2 giants. Incredible. Caravaggio is one of my favorites. I want to crawl into those shadows. We also walked through Greek and Roman sculptures. We saw some Monets, some Renoirs, some Degas. Van Gogh.<\/p>\n
The Museum was PACKED.<\/p>\n
— Window-shopping in the Village. I bought a bag of white sage. Little dried leaves. You burn them, and walk around the house, holding it up. The scent is so calming, so healing. It’s hard to find, too. White sage is better than your basic incense sticks (in my opinion). My room actually FEELS different after I burn some.<\/p>\n
— Flea market in the Village. Talked to a lovely Turkish vendor for a while.<\/p>\n
— We had burgers, sitting outside at picnic tables, at the famed White Horse Tavern<\/p>\n
— Watched “Fellowship of the Ring” with Ceileidh. Ceileidh does a mean imitation of Gollum, whom she refers to as “a naked freaky dude”. Indeed.<\/p>\n
— MUCH laughter.<\/p>\n
— We sat on my roof on Friday night and had pizza. The glittering skyline of Manhattan unfurling before our eyes. My roof kicks some serious ass. The Empire State Building was dark, for once. Reagan.<\/p>\n
— Walking. Walking. Walking. Aching legs. But damn – our toes looked good. Perfectly pedicured. And that is all that really matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
