Closet Crisis

HELP! My closet just fell apart. How did it happen? How do we fix it? Why did we try to install it ourselves? Will I ever have a place to hang up my clothes? I hope the closet fairy comes to fix it!
Check out what my closet currently looks like.......

Kids Kids and more Kids

Yesterday I went to the jerz to see my many many nephews and neices. My sister and her 3 kids arrived last week from Israel for a month long visit. My brother and his four offspring also came over to visit. I have to say that my family knows how to produce cute kids. Here are some pictures of the kiddy crew.

Flashback to Sunday

I don't have any excuses, I've been bad about updating my blog. So lets travel back a back in time to Sunday.......I know it's hard to think back to 4 days ago, but do your best. After coming back from the "great" outdoors, Steve and I had a chance to appreciate the great city we live in and we decided to take in the sights by foot (on the hottest freakin day in the world). We walked across the Williamsburg bridge to the lower east side then we headed to SoHo. Next we headed to a friend's new store, Barometer, on Walker St. The store is really cool. It has vintage collectables and jewelry designed and inspired by these items. That was the last stop on our walking tour.

Here are some pictures.........

I love street shopping in SoHo

Camping.........sort of

I really intended on spending the whole weekend camping. I even went to my parents house to get my camping gear that I haven't used in 6 years. The adventure began on friday evening when Lala, Henry, Zoe, Nathan, Steve and I headed to Harriman state park. We arrived at the trail just as it was getting dark. We had to hike to the camping spot in the dark. With a heavy backpack on my back, while walking up hill in the dark, I was not the most pleasant person to be around. Finally we made it and set up camp.....Long story short, the next morning was hot as hell and princess Gail had enough of camping. So steve and I headed back to the car, went out for brunch and ended up in our apartment with central air. I can officially say, my camping days are OVER!!! I like air conditioning, taking showers and sleeping in a bed.

P.S. Steve is the best boyfriend ever because he agreed to leave even though he would have enjoyed staying all weekend. He wanted me to be happy. As he put it......"If Gail is unhappy, then I have to hear about it." (I don't think I'm that bad, I'm just honest.)
Here are some pictures......

1970's style bbq

Steve's back from Maine - Yippie!!! The grill master is back in action and he grilled up a storm, yesterday, at the skybar on Jocelyn and Jill's roof. Luckily, I brought my polariod to take some 70 style pictures, although there are some hints that it's 2006. Here are the pictures....

Bowling Anyone?

Last night I met up with Monique and Lelaina at Bowlmor Lanes. I caught the tail end of their game, but Monique let me knock some of her pins down. Then we went to dinner and some French restaurant on St. Marx street. I don't remember the name of it, but the food was really really yummy. Check out my bowling pictures........

Aunt Gail for the 7th time

It's true, I have 2 neices and 5 nephews. My sister has 3 kids and, as of yesterday, my brother has 4 kids. My sister-in-law gave birth to a 7 lbs 14 oz baby boy. I went to visit them in the hospital today.

How cute is this baby!
