Hey guys!

Where to start? As most of you know, Randi and Ronnie Porter were here last weekend, which just happened to be my birthday weekend and their anniversary weekend!! :) We had the BEST time. We did a lot of sight seeing and it was just so wonderful to have them here. I miss them very, very much!! We ate some great food...Thai the first night, seafood at the South Street Seaport (we ate outside and it was such a beautiful day), Italian food in Little Italy, hot dogs from street vendors :) Randi wanted to see some famous people while she was here and she got her wish! We saw Shania Twain and Kareem Abdul Jabbar within about 3 minutes of each other by the Trump Towers. Randi and Ronnie were pretty pumped about Kareem! He just towered over everyone around him. Shania's voice really is as distinct as it sounds on t.v. and radio! Then, the next day as we were trying to find Bethenny Frankel's apartment, we passed Tyson Beckford. He had a FULL beard so we weren't sure at first, but now we are positive. That boy is HOT!!! :) Me and Randi looked at him, looked at each other, and looked back again lol They got to experience the subway and meet all the crazies that I get to see! We were walking from the Seaport to World Trade Center and there were a bunch of cops and a crowd gathering and some t.v. cameras.....and I heard the cop say "bomb scare" OH HECK NO! We all but ran away from that vicinity. You just never know. On Saturday night, Randi and Ronnie treated me to the show Wicked for my birthday!! We all LOVED it! Even Ronnie! It was fabulous! I know it's coming to Little Rock so anyone who has the chance should go. It's actually very, very funny! A great, entertaining time!
I'm starting to realize just how serious these Yankees are about their pro teams. If there's a NY game on, it's on every t.v. at every restaurant. The plan was to go to Justin Timberlake's restaurant, Southern Hospitality, for my birthday. That place was packed b/c of the game and they were not guaranteeing seating. :( So we all headed to some other place, which had the game on lol I think everyone had a good time though and got along well, so that's all that mattered to me.
I'm actually going to Miami for the weekend in 2 weeks! I'm very excited. I'm going with Deepak, the guy I've been dating here for a while, and few of his friends. We've got a beach house and I cannot WAIT for the warmer weather. I do NOT like the cold!! Of course, I don't really want to get in a bathing suit either... I'm going to enjoy it while I can though. It should start getting pretty hectic at work with the holidays coming up so I'll be able to get a little relaxation in first!
Well guys, I've got laundry to do so everyone enjoy your weekend! Go Hogs!!
Love,
Sheray

Sorry...

I know it's been forever. SO MUCH has been going on that I can't begin to cover it all. I've been really truly happy here in the city since we last talked. Stressed, but happy. Randi and Ronnie Porter will be here in 10 days. I cannot wait!! We get to celebrate my birthday and their anniversary together!
Ok, I just have to take a minute to say how inspired I am by Ben Davis. You guys, he's lost 120 lbs in 21 mos. He's become a national hero. He's been videoing his journey and posting them on YouTube. He's already been on Fox News and will be on The Today Show Monday, October 18th. He wanted me to be sure and let everyone know we went on a date in 11th grade! ha! I'm darn proud to say that too! :) Check out these links.

I just had to tell you guys about him so even more people can love and support such a wonderful and inspirational person :)
Well, I've made myself a new friend ;) That's pretty much taken up most of my time. I've been able to explore a lot of places in Downtown, West & East Village. I love it down there! Great night life for us youngins!
I went to Bloomingdale's the other day and Elizabeth Hurley was in there. I thought that was pretty cool. You can tell my teeny bopper days are over though. People were crowding around getting their phones out to take pics. I got a glance, only b/c I was headed that direction to look at perfume. I looked at her, considered a pic, shrugged it off and tried to get out of the crowd. Can't say I'd do the same if it were Justin Timberlake. Speaking of my boyfriend, we're going to celebrate my bday at his restaurant Southern Hospitality. I won't be mad if he just happens to be there :) It's been cold and rainy the past 2 weeks, BUT so far the forecast for my bday is no rain and clear skies!! Hope it stays that way for Randi and Ronnie's stay!!
So one of the other supervisors at work is extremely talented. You can just listen to her sing, listen to her perfect impressions and watch her dancing around and tell. So we started talking the other day and it turns out she's had a bit of acting in her past. She was in a play in the city and after the first show, got a standing ovation and several calls and offers afterward! She was also in a series on HBO. I thought that was all pretty impressive. Mother nature came knocking though and now she's a momma!
I know there are so many other things that have popped into my head to write about since nearly a month ago, but this is all I'm coming up with!
Take care everyone! Love you!
