November 24, 2011, Thanksgiving Day, will soon be over. In a few weeks we’ll be flying to Florida for Christmas. Where did the month of November go? And what a month it was.
The news this month about being chosen by a few designers for the Fusion Fashion Show was exciting. If nothing else, I’m hoping that this show in March will open a few more doors. In the mean time, I’m just trying to keep my act together and work up the confidence to apply to and attend open calls of major modeling agencies. I just want to walk around in nice clothes and get paid a lot for it, is that too much to ask?
Our wedding anniversary was Tuesday, the 22nd of this month but we celebrated Monday night since I had to work. We went to dinner at Becco, an Italian restaurant on Restaurant Row which was ah-mazing. We had like six courses, a bottle of wine with dinner, and then a grand finale dessert accompanied by complimentary dessert wine. We wobbled out of there a little dazed and giggly to say the least. On Tuesday, I brought Jen flowers at work and grabbed some tea with her on her lunch break. We didn’t exchange gifts, per se, but Jen wrote me another poem. It was sooo funny but R-rated so you’ll have to take my word for it. Shout out and thanks to the family for sending us such nice words and gifts (some still en route) for the big two-year.
I try not to let this blog turn into a food diary but today was Thanksgiving, what do you expect? For the big feast Jen, Pup, and I took a 7 train to Grand Central, a Metro-North train to White Plains, NY, and then rode with family to Connecticut. The host’s were long time friends of the Cappello’s and made us feel right at home. My favorite moment was when “Grandpa Louie” had me follow him to the liquor cabinet and made me a bourbon on the rocks. That man can drink! It was also nice to see little Lisa, although I can’t call her little for much longer. She’s eight now. We are stuffed from our early dinner and just taking it easy tonight, doing some online Christmas shopping and blogging.
