Sightseeing Photos

Hold on folks- I had a brilliant thought and I'm about to share it with you. By the way, if someone has already thought of it, don't tell me that. I'm basking in my brilliantness right now and it feels pretty good.

Anywho, when we were in NYC and the hubs and about 15,000 other people were all shooting a bazillion pics of various landmarks with their pocket-sized P&S cameras, I got to thinkin'.

First, you should know that I am all about time management. I rarely waste my time doing something that someone else has already done or can do for me quicker, easier, and better than I can do it. I figured that out PDQ once I was a working mom of two crazy kids.

So here was the thought I had as I watched this picture being taken:

And this one....

And this one...

Why are we all taking pictures of the same thing?

Seriously.

Here's what I'd like to propose.

You know how all those postcard shots are fabulous? Let's create a website where you can download these pics and add them to your flikr, snapfish, shutterfly, whatever... and you can add them to your album to go along with pics like this:

Cause every sightseeing album needs some personal shots. But for the landmark photos, let's not continue to waste time. There's lots of more productive things we could be doing.

Like drinking beer.

NYC Report #5- Broadway!

If you know the Sashas, you probably know we're just not very cultured. We like our beer, trash TV, and jeans and we don't see a lot of movies that win Academy Awards. Plus most of the TV shows we like get cancelled, so I'm not all that sure about our taste.

So I just didn't think a traditional Broadway show would be the way for us to go- at least not our first time in NYC.

I talked the hubs into seeing Rock of Ages- and we had a fabulous time! Any show that serves beer, plays 80s hair band rock, and hands you a lighter (fake, but still) on your way in- that's my kind of show!

It's very tongue-in-cheek, and they totally make fun of themselves and it just works. It can be a little raunchy and has some risque language, but, hey, who cares? It's not like I'd take P and WC....

So if you happen to be in NYC, be sure and check it out. If you are music fan or above the age of 30 and you remember the music of the 80s, this is your kind of show!

NYC Post #4

This is a picture of my neck.

This is not a hickey.

I swear.

I am offering to let people touch it and feel the blister so they can verify it's a curling iron burn.

I haven't done that since high school.

And I haven't had a hickey since high school either.

This is what happens when your husband is making you hurry because he can't wait to get back to sightseeing.

NYC Report #2

Ok, two things got marked off my NYC to-do list. I can go home happy.

At Pinkberry, I had the Pomegranate with white chocolate shavings. OMG----- best thing I ever had. And low calorie! I could eat this for every meal.

And at the Magnolia Bakery, I had a red velvet cupcake with whipped vanilla frosting. Fabulous.
