I'm all alooooonnneee...

Yes, my lovely SFs have departed again meaning that like Donkey, I'm all aloooonnnne. Of course, I didn't have to put up with American Airlines who sounded like a real treat - the SFs were an hour late arriving, then left 2.5 hours sitting waiting for bags in JFK at Friday midnight with no information given, two hours late on way back with no food on planes, plus changing slots and boarding cards etc. Not a lot of fun. Unlike the weekend of course! It was like one big pyjama party really. Loads of shopping, eating and avoiding the rain. Plus enough alcohol on Saturday night to sink a couple of Titanics! All I can say is that Nooch (cnr W17th and 8th) has a lot to answer for. We went there intending to have a couple of cocktails, some nice food, and then head down to Bar55 to see Sweet Georgia Brown. Instead we had many cocktails, rolled out of Nooch after midnight into the rain (from a 7:30pm booking), and somehow got home. I think we were one of those tables where we were having a great noisy time, but successfuly cleared the restaurants of other patrons! Whilst 2 of the 3 SFs made it up the next day for the nauseating ride to Woodbury Common, one alas fell by the wayside at the first corner on the way to the Port Authority, could make it no further, and had to be retired back to the apartment for a reviving nap and a solo day of exploration. We did all meet up again to show off respective purchases and for a much more restrained dinner at Il Bastardo on 7th, and then a final day on Monday of shopping, enjoying the sun, and eating (again).
But now I am back to work again. Yesterday I started at 7am and got home after 11pm. Humph. Perhaps I should rename the blog Sindy WORKS in New York. Today I started at 7am again, and am still here at 7:15pm so far. But tonight is Project Runway (without Angela - YAY), so I am definitely heading home soon. Last week was fabulous - watching Angela fly all the way to Paris only to be knocked out and sent straight home. quel horreur!
But this work is all preparation for relaxing in the arctic I guess - not long to go now. SS kindly sent me another cabin photo but I have lost it, so you all miss out! There was however a North Face sale on at Woodbury Common, so more purchases were made. SS has also order our waterproof boots online. I have gone for the oh so stylish knee high Hunter Galloways in Olive Green (subtitled Sindy has Large Calves), but SS has gone for the muckboots. I have described them as fugly and got my hand slapped, but they are not keepers! See attached linked, and vote accordingly!

I did want to get the floral sunflower ones but they are not neoprene lined. Anyway, my skipants are pistachio coloured, so I figure I will look like the green machine (or Kermit)! Must finish some work now and get home for PR!
