Muppets take Manhattan (or 52nd street at least)



Patricia's friend from Baltimore stays with us a fair amount of time, since she is a performance artist who occasionally books gigs in New York or the surrounding 'burbs. She come in late, get's up early, and is out the door before Alicia and I ever even know she's gone. She's fun and interesting, and we usually just grab some dinner, and give her some setup for a restroom and some good nights sleep.

Last time she came, though, she had a huuuuuuge blanket and pillow and such, dragging around. We chuckled that she didn't have to do that, we had her covered, but she stays in so many places so often that she travels more comfortably by having these things on hand (no matter how cumbersome it is for her to lug.)

We haven't seen her in a while (other than Thanksgiving at Patricia and Geoff's house) because she was pregnant, and presumably wasn't traveling for work as much. She recently had her baby, happy and healthy.

Alicia told me the other day, that she wanted to come back again, she had another gig booked. Of course I said "fine" just as always, since it's never a problem at all.

There was a catch this time... She wanted to know if it was okay to bring her husband, toddler, and newborn.

Now she knows our place is always open, but she also knows how small that place is too... of course we won't say "no" but man... tonight is going to be something else!

Wish us luck... I jokingly told Alicia that unfortunately I had to pull an all-nighter at work tonight (I don't, really) It'll be fine. I just don't expect to have much rest (on this worknight) with 4 adults, 1 toddler, 1 newborn, and a nasty little dog (who treats children terribly, btw!) Oh well.. tomorrow is Friday, and I got most of my work done today... so maybe it'll be a breezy day.

Sleep Tight.

oh your so dramatic, it was fine. The baby was fine, and Chalupa was fine. I had a good time. And it was a nice thing to do.
