Karen - Day 51: Pillow Talk

Open eyes.

Did I really just sleep 8 hours straight for the first time in 3 years?

New York rocks.

Had an awesome diner breakfast.

Off to the airport.

While sitting on the plane I start to remember everything I've seen in New York.

Did I mention I lived in New York for a year?

Many years ago.

I lived in a 5 story walk up with 2 girls and a dog in a one bedroom apartment.

I worked at a little diner on the upper west side.

We were so broke, I shared my employee meal with my roommates for dinner.

Whoever had a job the next day got the bed.

Everyone else slept on a futon in the living room.

We were so broke we couldn't pay the cable.

There was only one video.

"Pillow Talk"

Starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson.

It was on a constant loop for months.

New York was crowded and smelly and noisy.

Now it's spacious, clean, and there's a NO HONKING law!

I used to be so angry. Searching for something.

Now I'm visiting a beloved city that's been beaten down but is now taken care of.

Or is it just me?

I remember making lists.

So many lists.

Pros and cons regarding staying in New York.

I went home to L.A.

And met my guy.

And started really living.

I'm somewhere over the midwest now.

Time to watch a movie.

Eat some airplane food.

God I miss my family.

Finally I arrive home.

My kid gives me a giant hug. Then wants to see the treats I brought home.

There is a giant remote control race car track in my living room.

Daddy time clearly rules.

I want to climb into my life again.

I love them.

I haven't seen my Hubby in 16 days.

We have a lot of "catching up" to do.

Please forgive me if I don't post for awhile.

Time for a little Pillow Talk.

Je'taime Burbank!
