Howdy!

Acest week end a fost....boring, boring, boring....
Sambata a trebuit sa mergem la cumparaturi de mancare. Nici o placere! Totusi dupa aceea a fost OK, deoarece ne-am oprit pe la Corina si Kevin, pentru ultima oara in Hoboken. Am stat de vorba la un pahar de vin si niste fried chicken, apoi am jucat Wii. Coni a castigat la Bowling, dar eu am fost mai buna la Dancing with the Stars! Vedeti cateva poze mai jos...
Duminica, vremea a fost urata, innorata si din cand in cand a si plouat, asa ca am lenevit prin casa, iar seara ne-am uitat la televizor, la Oscare(81st edition of Academy Awards). Alta plictiseala! Eu jumatate din show am dormit, m-am sculat insa la timp sa vad ca premiul pentru cel mai bun film a fost castigat de "Slumdog Millionaire". Nu l-am vazut, dar numai ideea ca actiunea se petrece in India ma face ca nici macar sa nu vreau sa-l vad. Sunt destul de satula de tiganii nostri!!!

...and Coni doing the same thing. Next time I will make sure to have pictures of myself and Kevin too!

Have a nice Presidents' Day !

Presidents' Day is a Unites States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February. Although only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (actually this year on Feb 12 was his bicentennial anniversary) were born in February, Presidents' Day is a day to honor all the presidents. It started in 1880 as Washington's Birthday - a homage to the first president and was changed to Presidents' Day in 1980. Being a federal holiday, schools and government institutions are closed. The private ones depends, every company has its own policy, for example Stock Market is closed, but the stores are open and have big sales! Corina has the day off, but not Kevin!

Valentine's Day - evening

Rockefeller Plaza with General Electric (GE) Building with its famous Rainbow Room
After a romantic early dinner we went for a walk on 5th Avenue to Rockefeller Plaza. Nice! Everything was lit in red, including the statue of Prometheus (in Greek mythology he is the one who brought the fire on Earth) . Also the Empire State Building was all red with a little bit of white (I won't post a picture, you have to imagine it!)
