Mom-Cation

Last weekend I took an 18-hr "mom-cation" to NYC!  Big shout out to Jason for watching the boys and letting me have a most wonderful personal day.  I went crazy and wore my hair down with white shorts I whipped up the night before.
 I somehow found a $20 ticket to the last weekend of Anything Goes before they go on tour!  The show was just sparkling, fantastic in every way.  I think I remember my grandma telling me how she plans on spending her children's inheritance on shows :) I knew I was named after her for a reason.
So I've been dying to step inside Mood.  As I'm scarfing down a muffin and trying to find this building, I look up and definitely see Anthony Ryan from Season 9 of Project Runway walk past me.  To my right I see all these camera men taking shoppers away in vans...hmmm...are we not filming for the next Project Runway season?!   Inside the building, we were corralled into an elevator and heard a man on a headset say, "we have the van ready for you".  Tim Gunn coming down the other elevator, anyone?  I found some beauuuutiful cotton raschel knit that is going to be something fabulous and soon as I am brave enough to cut it, then down the street I haggled with a Peruvian for some Italian linen.  In all, best idea ever.  The next time anyone wants to meet in NYC for a day, I'm only a bus ride away!

I'm in for the next trip! Well, maybe not, but it sounds wonderful! I'm glad you had such a grand time.

You are my hero! I'm so excited you were able to go...I will definitely have to sneak into your luggage next time!

I'm up for a trip to NYC anytime. Too bad it's not just a bus ride away for me. I am jealous you got to go to mood. Not that I'm a big sewer, but I LOVE project runway! And sort of have a crush on Tim Gunn(even if he is gay).

P.s. Just looked up Project Runway and found that Season 10 starts on July 19! Yey! That's exactly one week away :)

Wow! I'm so glad you got to do this fun trip! Jason is pretty brave and amazing to tend babies for you, especially Parley. I bet you came back refreshed and ready to deal with it all again.

I cannot believe that Jason watched the boys for you to do that! How awesome is that? I'm so glad you got to go and have such a blast (and be all cool going-it-alone). Music, theater and all that is definitely something we have in common,but you are freakishly talented in the whole crafting/sewing department! I love seeing all the fun things you do with your time. :) I'm lucky to do dishes and laundry now and then... hee hee
