(Jenn) A few people have asked me what we "did" while Shug was here (from March 15th-20th). I have to shrug and reply that we did what we do best -- sit around and talk! And if you know me very well, you probably know that I have the best time when I do absolutely nothing, as long as I'm with people I love. So for five days, I was basically transported back to life as Shug's roommate, with the subtle additions of a 1 year old son and a husband who came home at night. It was actually the perfect combination -- I got to have someone to talk to and be with all day (and someone to adore Henry with me), and then still had the wonderful feeling of having Ben return at the end of the day! And I love that Shug and I always have endless stores of meaningful conversations, even when we haven't seen each other for almost a year. What a fabulous friendship!
We got a major snow storm while Shug was here, and we really were house-bound for almost two of the days (and we had one crazy adventure trying to get to a Broadway play in spite of the snow). Luckily, we didn't have a full schedule planned, so the snow was fine (although coming from Alaska, Shug was looking forward to sun). After the storm, we did venture out to the Guggenheim and the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in the city and both fell in love with the MoMA. It reminded us both of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris -- rich, beautiful, moving art (and not quite modern enough to be the offensive type). We also enjoyed NYC hot dogs and got to see the St. Patrick's Day parade on 5th Avenue.
