Almost Thanksgiving!

This is at the New York Public Library - the big, main branch.

This is a spot from the Sex and the City tour - It's where Big & Carrie were supposed to get married in the 1st movie and he jilts her, then she beats him with flowers out in the street. In front of the lions.

Today was pretty cold!

My eyes watered all the way to big alligator tears before I reached the 1st stoplight in my commute and my first stoplight happens about 40 yards away from the front door so... Yeah. Sucked. If I had complex eye makeup, I would have been ruined.

But I did not have complex makeup at all today. It was a short day at work being Thanksgiving Eve, so I was very casual.


I got some free sweaters this afternoon at work (remember I work at a sweater company) so I threw one one under this cape for the ride home and I was sufficiently warm. Someone also gave me these new faux-Chanel quilted leather gloves today (because they were too big for that person) and they are PERFECTION for bicycle riding. A good "Thank you" is in order.


The basket was stacked today - I had about 4 new sweaters, I stopped at Bed Bath & Beyond on the way home and got some necessities and my bag is on top. Go, basket + Bungee cord!


I don't think you can tell what's going on, but I sure could - the barricades were out for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade which comes down this street/7th Avenue tomorrow morning. There were extra utility trucks and like I said - Barricades all the way.


We hope to wake up (waking up on a holiday is the hardest part) and go to the parade, but we will watch it from the beginning point near 77th street on the Upper West Side - Across from where we live, and where it's more residential. Ha ha.

Supa' Hero Bicycle Cape

I bought this cape at a thrift store in Tampa Florida about a year and a half ago. Florida thrift shops have the best coats because people down there don't need much in the way of outerwear.

Morning times. I think this outfit looks crazier than it felt.

I felt OK this morning, but this outfit is wild/nuts. Oh, well.

This closet background is best viewed in a slight blur, BUT - all this biking has got to be the reason why my legs look good. Bike + heels. And biking in heels!




The cape was awesome because I did know I was extra-visible with all the gold weave in it, so I was less stressed about being seen in the dark by cars.


The weather was so nice tonight! I went to Kate's Paperie to scope out some Christmas card supplies and was actually disappointed. I usually have to calm down and back away from the goods I love that place so much.

This was a festive hot dog cart that caught my eye for a bike portrait.
