i heart NY -2 of 10 (top 100 things i'll miss about the city)

90. billy's and magnolia's cupcakes. in that order. i never did fall in love with any of the other 50 cupcake places.
89. our church/temple. it's a 2 for 1. they probably exists, but i don't know of any other mormon temple that share the same building with the chapel. i just think it's cool.

88. road trips to lake winni, to see family or with friends. now, every trip to NH will involve a 5 hour flight.
87. central park pool-even though craig won't get in the water
86. marionette theater in central park...a five minute walk and five dollars will get us into a little cottage that puts on a show that is equal to anything on broadway in parker's eyes (they really are amazing productions). favorites: peter pan and jack and the beanstalk.
85. canal street
84. my elevator- it's a love/hate relationship that has developed from always running a little late (we live on the 7th floor of a building with a ridiculously slow elevator). i will miss my elevator because i have come to depend on the time i am stuck waiting for or stuck riding in it to accomplish life. for instance, i know after i reach out my door and push the down arrow, i have time to get the stroller out the front door, grab 2 sets of shoes, (just park's and mine.miles only get shoes on sundays), grab my phone, wallet, and keys and maybe a sippy or the trash. in the time it takes to get from my floor to the lobby i can do any of the following(just one per trip): put on 2 pairs of shoes, put on 2 jackets, strap in miles stunggly,change a diaper, send a text, find my running playlist and get my phone/earphones situated, put on my quick version of make-up (my main version), make or start a phone call--full bars in elevator, hand out snacks and toys and i'm sure a few more i'm forgetting. on the way up, i sort the mail,take off shoes and coats, and breath.
83. FAO Schwartz
82. Shakespear in the park. free and really good and an unbeatable backdrop. we went a week ago and saw "twelfth night". anne hatheway is the lead.

81. volleyball at "the beach". (sand courts in riverside at 106th) so fun. (when ron lets me play).



ps just got back today from a disney cruise with my whole fam. A.Mazing.
