Welcome Back Rockstar

Proving, if only to myself, that I still have what it takes...Saturday was officially one of the longest days of my life, going all the way from approximatelly 9:40 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. the following day.

It would only be fair to admit that I did have a one hour nap around 7:30 p.m. and then another quick nap from 5:40 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., but I am older now and I think that's only fair.

The day included driving from NJ to NYC, seeing the tree in Rock Center with my too-cute cousins (who are seriously just too cute, I can't even stand it), heading up to Central Park, going home, eating, watching a movie, nap #1, rallying, going to a comedy show, going to a cool place called the Casablanca Tea Room, telling the bouncer he was my new BFF, watching P. tell the bouncer he looks like Usher, me telling Usher that he was my BFF not P's, a bit of dancing, trying to karate kick a wooden board in half and failing, trying to do a pull-up on scaffolding and failing, kicking a plate of glass hanging out on the street and SUCCEEDING, props to PC for making that possible, watching PC attempt to dive over three trees on a dare from P. and failing, taking nap #2 and then the clincher, going to WCBS to supervise the taping of a segment at 7:15 a.m., call time was 6:30 a.m., I walked into the station in my going out clothes (which were thankfully workplace friendly), finished and was back in bed by 8 a.m. where I stayed until 1:35 p.m.

Reading this back, it sounds somewhat juvenile, but I do promise that this was a really fun, classy night and the majority of hijinks happened on the walk home. I should also note that because I knew I had a 6:30 call time that I paced accordingly.

Then I got up, went to brunch and went to see "The Holiday" where it was confirmed that:

1.) Cameron Diaz is the worst actress EVER and her life's success can only be attributed to a deal with Satan
2.) Kate Winslet is the BEST actress ever and my new favorite. She has one scene in the movie where she delivers this semi-speech and I have to say, I literally thought I was going to burst into tears because a.) She did it so well b.) She might as well have been talking to me.
3.) Jude Law is incredibly good-looking
4.) Jack Black is hilarious

This was followed by two margaritas and Mexican food, which made me one of the most tired people to be on planet Earth last night. I crashed at 10 and had one of the best sleeps ever. Maybe rock stars can go on for weeks at a time partying like this, but I suspect they use cocaine to accomplish that. I did it au naturel.
