Map to the Simple Life

Magical Monday and a bunch of other days

Cleaned out my email and reorganized to streamline things.

Worked on cleaning the bookshelf in the master bedroom.  Still have a bit more on that before I can move it to the garage and sell it.

Most of my time has been chewed up planning Destinee’s NYC trip for her 18th birthday.  I never stand in line if I can buy my way around it so planning is a must.  Advance tickets are a key.

I’m cramming a lot into the long weekend but it will be an experience to remember.  I use Travefy (app and desktop version) to plan trips.  It keeps everything in one place, is accessible from anywhere and helps me make the best use of our time.  Once I give the kids access I don’t have to answer the “what are we doing next” question with anything but “Check your itinerary!”  Hahahaha.

We’ll see the Unisphere, Statue of Liberty,  Charging Bull,  9/11 memorial and museum (day time and evening viewing), have dinner in a bank vault, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, go to the top of the Empire State Building, tour Times Square (I can’t believe they shut down the Toys R Us store!), have dinner in an Italian restaurant (probably not nearly as good as the ones we had in Italy), see Shear Madness and laugh our assess off (Although I tried to get Destinee to agree to see Naked Men Dancing!  Hahahaha), take a carriage ride through Central Park, walk through Central Park (and not get mugged), visit the Guggenheim Museum (who else has dreams about rollerblading down that long circular central walkway?), tour Chinatown, eat bagels and pizza.  That’s the plan.

Now that it’s all setup I can go back to throwing stuff out.

Things removed from my life:  Two bottles of lotion.  Hooray.  Two bags of old paperwork to the trash.

276 Days and counting.
