I Heart NY!

As cliche as it may be to say...I love NY! We took a ladies trip (me, mom, Jen, and Missy) to visit my cousin Suzanne who lives in Manhattan. She was so gracious and accommodating-a real trooper leading our Clampett clan around NYC. We found Saks Fifth Avenue quite intriguing. Our eyes probably looked like saucers as we combed the fine jewelry section.
On a recent trip to Gulf Shores Missy and I became quite the crab hunters, so when I spotted this gaudy crab brooch I elbowed her and whispered...
"When I win the lottery, this baby is as good as yours!".
She looked down at the $20,000 plus price tag and audibly says "If you bought me that with your lottery money, I would kill you!".
Lottery was enough said. Instantly the sales lady sprung to action. "Did you hit the lotto?" she inquired. Trying to hold in my giggles I replied "not yet?".
She pulls the crab from the case and shows me how if you turn it a certain way it changes colors.
"Wow, sort of like one of those mood rings!" I quipped.
Undeterred she proceeds to tell me how I can save a certain % if I apply for a store credit card.
It wasn't like 99% so the answer was still no.
Next we head upstairs to women's clothing. My eye is instantly drawn to two super cool chairs. Jennifer and I plop down in them and Missy starts digging for her camera.
Now there was this fellow in this boutique section of the store with us. He was one of two things...the best dressed security guard I've ever seen or a particularly astute sales clerk who "arms folded across his chest" surmised that he needn't bother. I'm guessing it was the latter.
In an attempt to get us both in the photo, Missy backs up shoving a rack full of extemely expensive clothes into the wall. We start laughing and the it's obvious that the poor "sales-guard" is trying to act like he didn't just see that!
Later we are having dinner and my cousin is looking at the pictures on the digital camera and starts laughing because you can actually see Missy in the photo backing into the clothes. The picture was snapped after we told her to watch out for the clothes, so she's not nested down in them like she had been but still, It's priceless!
We did a lot of sight seeing. We also went to see Grease on Broadway. It was Awesome!!

Shot Who??

My boys started school this week. Grant's school starts at 7:45...what's that?? I didn't even realize there were two 7:45's in a running day. So, I find myself wandering around Wild Oats looking for a magic potion to help me adjust my sleeping patterns. It just so happens that one of my cousins works there (lucky 4 me) and waves me over to her counter with the solution to my lethargy. She starts hacking off a handful of what appears to be grass and starts preaching on the benefits of a good old shot of wheatgrass. I'm so determined to turn around this nocturnal nature of mine, I'm game to try anything! We're standing face to face with nothing between us but the counter, a shot of freekishly green liquid, and another shot of apple juice to chase it with. Are you kidding me?? Where's the DJ? Any moment I'm expecting Jamie Kennedy or Ashton Kutcher to come leaping to my rescue.
"Kill it!", she urges.
With one swift movement I grab the little glass of "shrek urine" and throw it back! Suddenly I felt as if I'd fallen off a riding mower, got my shoe hung, and was being drug face down across the lawn.
"How do you feel?", she asks.
"Oh, I'm awake, that's for sure!", I reply.
