Isn't it ironic? Don't ya think?

Do you remember that Alanis Morisette song back in like 6th grade, "Ironic?"
The lyrics came to life for me the other night and I couldn't help but laugh out loud....
I was STARVING and walking up 57th and 7th by Carnegie Hall and considered stopping at my favorite diner there...
alas the diner only takes cash....I considered running to the ATM but though "ya know it's too late to eat...but I'm starving...oh maybe I can find something...maybe something will pop up...ehh no...I'll get cash." SO I get cash and sit down and enjoy something quick. As I approach Columbus Circle there are masses of people that goes all the way to Lincoln Center...I take off my headphones from my ipod and here music everywhere. Alas....all kinds of restaurants are LINED up and giving away free food...kind of a taste of all holiday thing. "It's like a free meal when you've already paid" or something like that that ran across my mind. Go figure, right? LOL
In the midst of chaos and craziness in my world...
as I walk the streets of the city I am stunned how at this time of year everything seems so beautiful!
It's actually putting me in the Christmas mood. All the lights, the trees, and the smells of the people selling trees on the side of the streets. Bryant Park had its tree lighting last night...tonight is Rockefellar Center and I SO wish I could see it--and actually do a real touristy thing. Alas...rehearsal for me. Lincoln center's tree is gorgeous...the lights that shine on City Opera and the Metropolitan Opera are stunning....it makes me smie. So I promise to post pictures when I get a chance. I find people to be unusually friendly this time of year...and my cab driver this mornin especially went out of his way to be nice.
Here's to only a few more weeks till Christmas!
