"Motherhood: all love begins and ends there." Robert Browning
Stayed home for a weekend, as planned, three weekends down to NYC each month. It was nice to hibernate with PuppyHead. Truth be told I became paranoid of the snow and ice last winter. I’m too young to be this afraid of such accidents, aren’t I? The next Week I had, booked Megabus for after work Thursday at 9:30 pm. (free ticket!, and I have two more!). Megabus is giving away 100,000 free tickets this winter, got myself a few! Got “home” pretty late, but Roomie was up, and we chatted up for a bit, then to bed.

Friday woke up to sunshine, thank God. K and I met at noon at Artisanal Restaurant, on Park and 32nd Street.for a nice birthday lunch, hers. Roomie had highly recommended it. We had a great lunch, including a bottle of wine. Decided to do a bit of shopping before K had to go off to work. Walked up 5th Avenue, and poked into Lord & Taylor, picking up a cute dress, and top for her.

I then roamed around the garment district looking for a button store. Remember Windsor Button shop? Where are all the button places now, where does one get buttons in Boston? Well, I found a great little shop on West 38th, with a character for an owner, Lou Lou's Button Shop. I got five great buttons, and promptly put four of them on my coat when I got home. (I love my coat, a big camel hair wool coat made in Italia..bought it here a few years ago at a flea market at a Church on the Upper West Side! I lost a couple of buttons a few weeks ago.)

Invited older Daughter K to join me this weekend to play for K’s birthday. K had to work today so she had tickets for the 6pm Megabus…called at 7, no bus, finally, with a lot of other frustrated people, she got on a bus at 8:15. I had already gone to the Food Emporium to pick up some things (sushi, ready made soups, crackers and cheese, yogurts, fresh fruit..$75!). That’s okay, she’ll be exhausted and we can chat here as I also stopped and got a couple of bottles of wine. It really is fun to just walk out my door, and walk to pick up these odds and ends.
K finally got here around 1a.m with Birthday Girl K following shortly after, having gotten off work “early”. After much wine, and some great conversation, we sent K home, and we went to bed around 5 a.m. The Girls claimed that if I could still pull nights like this with my high school friends, I could do it with them.
