Landed in NY

Today I arrived at JFK at 7:45am to take Mom to some appointments and hopefully catch the arrival of my nephew's newest sibling.  After landing, my sister (who due any day now!) and I hit the SoHo Bloomingdale's for a fun event that her mom's group hosted.  All the beauty counters had a fun offer--my sister opted for the more pampering options like the hand massage and hair do-up, I went for the more instructive offers.  I got a matched sample of BB cream at the Bobbi Brown counter, my eyes were made up at the MAC counter, and I got the "perfect pout" at the Christian Dior counter, plus we both picked up samples at other counters.  Department store beauty counters aren't usually my scene but the super nice folks at Bloomie's made it real warm and fun--I loved it!  It was a super fun morning:


Then I caught up with my friend Dan for lunch:


Where we caught up after a brief discourse about the gray hair and weight adjustments from more than 15 years ago:



And enjoyed the BEST ramen at Ippudo:


Caught back up with my sister and her nuclear fam for dinner and to visit Augie's Uncle Justin and Auntie Amanda:


And catch Amanda's turn on 30 Rock as a cigar-smoking girlfriend of Jack Donaghy:


Great day packed with awesomeness!

Ahhh, the years go by quickly! So great to hang out with you - reminds me of our weekly lunch dates back in '90. Except back then I don't remember having food as good as Ippudo.
