To sleep or not to sleep…

Clearly Mara has left about 82 things for us to do tomorrow am before we head to the airport. The only bright side of this is that we are fortunate that Maria has offered to drive us to JFK at such an early hour.

Also Mara is insisting that we only have carry on luggage. It is no easy task packing for a 9 day trip that will be spent in 2 different weather patterns.

Have some BEAUTIFUL weather! I can’t believe we are leaving this to head to California.

This morning we stopped by the Editions Artists’ Book Fair and then enjoyed the weather while walking around the city. Sadly we eventually had get back to work as there still are a million things to get done before tomorrow early am flight. Perhaps this is the first time I am less sad about the sun going down earlier since I feel less sad having to be inside rather than outside enjoying the weather!

t minus 46 hours.

There is never enough time in the day. We got a number of things done actually looking back on the day. We have been invited to a Happy Hour around the corner so we are heading there.

Also on the brink of our trip out to LA on Monday I can’t help but think back to last year at this time when we were getting ready for spending 4 weeks on the left coast. It is fun to read those early blogs. Like the time I said how much I loved JetBlue’s Terminal 5. I want to try and link back to those posts but it seems really complicated to do this. Mara and I have both flown in and out of that terminal more times than either of us can count in the past year. Enough times to earn us free flights on our upcoming trip.

Also for those of you concerned, Mara and her boots survived their inaugural outing in the outside world yesterday. We have a winner!

As always we had a fantastic time with Alex at Color Me Mine followed by a very fun evening that has caused a late start to today. There are a number of things to get done before we leave on Monday so today will be a busy one.

Should you need us we will be spending the rest of the afternoon at Color Me Mine with Alex.

Last night I tagged along with Mara to the IFPDA Print Fair Opening. It is all part of Print Week In New York. It was really fun.

Also on our way to the Armory we we passed by the Gossip Girl trailers as they were filming on East 64th Street. Ohh la la.

Jenna just called with the graphic details. Mara puked and handed me the phone so I could listen and she wouldn’t have to.

Jenna was off to make blood pudding since there was so much blood. Gross.

Jenna has been sending us photos of the slaughter. I am DYING to share them with you but I will wait for her to blog about them and then I will pass along a link. ewwww. They are a sight!

Mara and Maria and I went on a long walk this morning. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and back and then some. The weather is perfect for long walks. It is supposed to rain tomorrow but maybe we can do it again on Friday.

I am just going to flat out admit that I wish I was slaughtering ducks with Jenna today. Seems way more exciting than whatever Mara has up her sleeve.
