i just told off a coworker... he's been asking for it for a year... and instead of being happy about it, i'm embarrassed that i caused a scene in the office... my project lead, and other coworkers, were glad somebody finally did it... but why do i feel so bad?? i hate that i let him get to me like that... i very, very rarely snap... i'm calm, cool, collected... but when it comes to this guy, i want to punch his lights out every day...
and to make matters worse, i told him off twice... because he came back for more!!! sheesh! you think one piece of me would have been enough...
man, i'm gonna be doing some major walking tonight!

i think i'm in love...
have you heard the James Blunt song "you're beautiful" yet? no? download it now... or just turn on your radio, it will be on soon...
i looooove that song... it's so pretty, and uplifting... it's about a guy who sees a woman, and thinks she's beautiful... he doesn't know her, and doesn't tell her... just him thinking she's beautiful...
makes a girl wonder... how many times a day do you pass someone, not even notice them, and they're thinking, "hey, now there's a beautiful gal"? you never know... i bet there's someone out there, right now, who you may not even know, that thinks you're beautiful...
it makes me happy...

so, i lived...
i didn't die... although, i thought i was going to... my legs and feet were cramping so badly saturday night... i was ready for someone to just to cut them off... lol... and to make matters worse, i have a majorly bad sinus infection that's pretty painful... but, on the bright side, i only had a few tiny blisters (yay moleskin!!!), and almost all of the achiness is gone today!!! i still get a little stiff when i've been sitting/laying in one place for a long time... but as long as i'm moving and stretching, i feel good...
saturday, i was convinced that i never wanted to walk 16 miles ever again... and i was a bit worried about actually being able to do the Walk feeling like that... but, now i'm looking forward to the longer training walks, and i think i'll do just fine...
i rock!

NYC Details
Friday, we took the train from DC to Penn Station in Manhattan... i'd never traveled by train before, so that was interesting... it took about 4 hours to get there, because we made lots of stops, but we got a chance to look at some scenery and relax, so that was nice...
we made our way from Penn station to the hotel... stopping along the way, at Grand Central Station, for lunch... we ate at a place called "two boots" and the food was soooo yummy... and much more than we could eat... we all filled up, and still had half the food left over... mmmm...
when we arrived at the hotel, the front desk couldn't find one of the rooms we had reserved (reservation was only showing one room)... so that was a bit of a scare, but eventually, they found it and we got settled in and rested a bit (it was 2 miles from the train station to the hotel, and while that isn't much to me, my family was beat)...
we went out for the evening, making our way to Times Square... we visited Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum... that was a lot of fun... then we walked around some more, and had dinner at Planet Hollywood... when we returned to the hotel, the keys to one room didn't work... and there was the whole fiasco about being accused of being in someone else's room, and all sorts of rudeness from the hotel staff... (that was the snafu i mentioned before) it's too much drama to type it all in here, but believe me when i say it wasn't too much to type into a complaint letter sent to the parent company of the hotel...
Saturday, we went to the Sony Wonder Technology Lab... it's a interactive museum Sony sponsors that shows how things are engineered, what's inside certain equipment, and all things geeky... hehe... it was a great time!!! we also walked up to Gray's Papaya (in the upper west side) in hopes of the best hot dog ever... but while standing in the loooong line for the place, i found out Eric doesn't eat hot dogs... so we hopped across the street to McD's instead... and while i really don't care for fast food anymore, we'd walked so much, that it was the best food ever (okay, that's an exaggeration, but it was pretty good)...
after that, we walked back to mid-town and down 5th avenue, looking at all the places that were out of our budget to shop... we also checked out FAO Schwartz... it was a big disappointment... they were remodeling, and it wasn't all that grand... i prefer the one in Chicago... then we went back to the hotel and napped until dinner time...
for dinner that night, we went to a local mexican place, Mama Mexico... we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it... the food was amazing, as was the atmosphere... if i go back to NYC, i'll certainly go there again... after dinner, we called it a night...
Sunday morning, we got up super early and went to stand outside of the Today Show Studio... it was very very cold... and very early... but we got on TV (when they were panning the crowd) so i guess it was worth it... my family was excited about it... i just wanted to get warm... lol... afterwards, we had brunch at a diner just around the corner from our hotel... very good food... and then we went back to the hotel to pack up and check out...
check out was at noon, and our train didn't leave until 6pm... so we planned on just walking around some more (carrying our bags with us)... but it was still super cold (in the 20's) and our bags got heavier with each block, so we went straight to the train station... after getting warmed up, we found out we could check our bags there temporarily, and then headed back out to walk around some more... we had an early dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, and made it back to Penn Station just in time for our train...
the train ride back was crowded... we were all four in different cars for a while... i guess lots of people leave the city on sunday nights, after a weekend getaway, perhaps? i was glad to get home, and be in my own bed again... and i'm looking forward to going back sometime (maybe when it's warmer)...
sorry i don't have pictures, my film was terribly grainy, and most of my pics didn't turn out... oh well... my sis has some digitals that i'll have her send, and maybe i'll get them put up sometime...
