My Most Recent Visitors, Em & Twan




My college roommate (Em) and high school buddy (Anthony or Twan) came to stay with me this past weekend. The weather was finally perfect in the good old concrete jungle I live in. The temperature was in the mid 80's, the sun was out, Subways weren't scorching hot and zero rain fell. We had been planning this trip for months and it's hard to believe it came and went so fast. I'm still tired from the late nights spent touring the city so I've decided to just list a few of our highlights below. Playing tour guide for the weekend wasn't too bad... I even managed to experience a few new things with them!

And for any of you who know Em and I, you know there has to be at least one blonde moment along the way. So here it goes! We had purchased our tickets to go to the top of the Empire State building (something I hadn't done yet) and it was our turn to go through security. Em breezed on through with no problems. However, I did not. After three attempts and stripping me of all my jewelry and my belt Em decided she'd offer her 2 cents and help security. "Abby, I bet it's the water bottle in your hands." After her remark I think the security guard realized that with both our brains combined we'd still be unable to plot anything horrific and let me through despite the alarm still sounding. As we were walking away he crossed his arms and looked to Em and said, "Ma,am, this is a metal detector." We both had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard.

Highlights from our weekend include (but definitely not limited to):
  • Standing at the top of Empire State to get one of the best views of the city ever
  • Our security story from Empire State (hope Em doesn't yell at me for sharing)
  • Frying Pan at Chelsea Piers for buckets and buckets and buckets of beer and burgers
  • Statue of Liberty
  • Stone St. for amazing Pizza
  • Ray's Pizza for more pizza
  • Yankee Stadium
  • The Today Show and Katy Perry Concert on Friday
  • Serendipity for Frozen Hot Chocolate
  • Sleeping arrangements in a tiny bedroom
  • Underbar at the W Hotel

MY OH MY the list could go on. Anyways, it's time for bed because on Friday I get my next round of company!! It just happens to be my little sister Jenna who I have only seen once since Christmas. Hope NYC is ready for what's headed its way.

Check back tomorrow for a great beauty tip about eyebrows and enhancing your look.
