Miss Heidi Comes to Town

approximately2 Comments
My sister Heidi came to visit me for nearly a week — I showed her about the city as best I could!
My favorite day we spent together was at Rockaway Beach. We laid our sheet too close to the water, and eventually the tide washed us out. It was comical to wash off the sand, wring out the water, and attempt to air dry the sheet before we headed back home (Heidi told me I would never survive in the wild.)

I speak for the other 7.99 million folks of New York when I say we’ve been experiencing the most miserably crazy heat over the past two days. So hot that you apply twice the deodorant and stick to your subway seat like a noodle. 

Heat doesn’t keep me from exploring. I’ve been wandering the east side a bit over the past few weeks, and today it was time for the wild, wild west side — and after three hours of strolling, I can say quite confidently that the WS has become my new favorite (for now).
New York really wears me down, but experiences like today make everything seem really fantastic.

Finally, I MET TIM GUNN on Tuesday as he walked into Parson’s on 7th Avenue. I told him how much I adored him, and he shook my hand and asked my name. It completely made my MONTH! (I am still saying aloud to no one in particular, “I CAN’T BELIEVE I MET TIM GUNN.”)
