playing the waiting game

This past week the Porkchop and I were in NYC for several days.

There was work, good food, Canal Street (the Chop, once again, was very sad) and… my sister, who was in NYC with her boyfriend, on a little vacation.

Her boyfriend, who, I might add, does not understand the Northeast winters and had to purchase ear muffs and gloves the second day in town. lol

We partied, got drunk, ate at Craft (Tom Colicchio’s restaurant… you know, Chef Tom from Top Chef) —which was fantastic, except for the veal cheeks (which the sister ordered), shopped Canal (you got about 10 purses, right sis?), um got drunk again and sucked down a tasty frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity.

Now, we’re home, mostly recuperated, and debating a move into a very cute little cottage in a town closer to our friends.

I’ve hesitated writing about this place, after the last time I wanted a really cute little cottage by the water and it was given to a more deserving person… this one is right on the water, complete with patio, washer and dryer, space for a dog, attic and basement, gorgeous hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings and a dishwasher.

We find out tomorrow or Friday if we get it, or if it goes to someone else.

The waiting game is excruciating.
