I Know Where I'm Not...in NYC!

My 32nd birthday is turning out to be memorable (but not for good reasons). Let's start with last Thursday. Amy wanted to take me out to celebrate my birthday so I decided to go to Dazzle (my favorite jazz bar) since she had never been. Great conversation, good food, good drinks, all in all - we're thoroughly enjoying ourselves. When we were walking to the car Amy says "Sara...where's my car?". Folks, have you ever known someone who has had their car towed out of a parking lot? Well now you have! Yep, parked in a lot that said for these customers only (Dazzle was not listed). We thought since they were all daytime businesses surely we were okay. Thought wrong. $165 and a day later, Amy has her car back.

Skip ahead a week (maybe it's Thursdays that are doing me in) and I'm all excited because I'm supposed to be leaving on a jet plane to NYC in less than 24 hours when Vonda emails saying that her flight has been canceled. Cheryl and I were on the 6:00 am flight and Vonda was on the 8:00 am flight. Since the weatherpeople issued a winter storm warning (and they've never wrong right?), United (the devil airline) went ahead and canceled Vonda's flight. Not wanting to go without her, Cheryl and I canceled our flights. Weather update: it's currently raining. I better wake up to two feet of snow tomorrow morning!
