For me, the past few Thanksgivings have been quite different from each other:

One year I decided to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal in my tiny NYC apt kitchen. Mom repeatedly asked me the whole time if I had felt claustrophobic living in my apt. It didn’t help that with the oven on all day, it made the entire place hot as hell & super uncomfortable.

To top it off, since I own a limited number of dinnerware place settings, I had to continuously wash dishes after the appetizers and until dessert.

Chinet anyone?
Another year, the fam & I decided to take a break from the traditional full-day-o-cookin’ and opted for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal at a fabulous Italian resty in Midtown – complete with fresh mozzarella made at the table!

Can’t get more fresher (or easier) than that folks ;-) …
Then last year, I spent Thanksgiving day in the hospital with my mom since she had just suffered a stroke on the 22nd of Nov. Worst Thanksgiving (& year) ever…
This Thanksgiving, I am hauling Midtown Pups & myself to my parents house to spend it with them. All I have to do is – SHOW UP, lol!

Crossing my fingers that they will have the fried shrimp & ribs I requested as part of my fav additions to the traditional Turkey feast (sorry – sooo NOT a fan of Turkey!)…

And this year, I am thankful that my mom is home & healthy and that I can spend the holiday the way is should be spent…with my family ;-)

Midtown Girl & Midtown Pups wish you & your fabulous families a wonderful, happy & healthy Thanksgiving holiday.

Sooo thankful to have you dahlings as part of our extended family – kissies for everyone!!!

Thanksgiving love,

Wow – soo much fun with some FABULUSH peeps – girlfriends are so Ah-May-Zing!

Ok, so my weekend started super early with projects winding down early Friday aft. Before my birthday cocktail explosion on Saturday I had a much-needed, convo-saturated lunch @ Coffee Shop in Union Square with one on my bloggy – now IRL life – besties Monica from CiaoChessa.
Every time Monica & I get together, one convo leads to another to another to another & we end up talking about a million things. It’s so hilarious bc we have about 50 convos we have YET to finish – LOVE this girl x 100!

BTW – Monica knows Paris like the back of her hand & will be helping me plan my first trip to Le PARIS – EXCITED!!!

Then I had the pleasure of having dinner with the beautiful Wendy from Wendy Brandes Jewelry @ Park Avenue Autumn . Wendy gave me the nickname Jessica Rabbit (which I adore her forever for) & I shall now deem her my Lady in Red bc she wears the most gorgeous, perfect shade of red lipstick. I made her promise to take me red-lipstick shopping bc I NEED those amazing red lips!!

Btw – I will be doing a designer profile post on her later this week called “Queen of Tricked out Bling”. Yes, her designs are that FEROSH.

Fast Forward….

On Saturday for my Birthday celebration, some of my super-hottie NYU Alumna chickies came into la ciudad to celebrate with cocktails @ the Park in Chelsea.

Can I just tell you – even though we haven’t seen each other in what feels like ‘forever & a day’ – it’s as if we’ve never been apart. I effing love that!

Btw – blue-colored cocktails should be BANNED forevz- I’ll just rename them “headaches in a glass” from now on - yeesh.

Then on Sunday, my loving, awesomely-awesome parents drove in for a bday dinner @ Siniqual in Midtown. I inhaled my Lobster Enchiladas & Patron-Perfect Margaritas which was, well.. Perfect! And dangerously delish! Dinner was great and my parents are awesome – LOVE YOU TONS!
