Tonight our good friend Meghan came over for dinner. We picked up some steak tips from Bob’s Market as well as some salad and some Narragannsett Shandy beer. Meghan brought over ice cream and made her family’s secret chocolate sauce recipe. Yeah you could eat it with a spoon on its own it was soo good.
Allison put the kids to bed and we chatted for a while and then American Ninja Warrior came on. I’m not one for Reality Shows but this is simply incredible. The courses are crazy and the people participating are incredibly in shape. The whole show they teased that a woman who had been the first to conquer the vertical curved wall was going to try this latest course and she CRUSHED it! We were really excited for her. I wish we taped it to show Eva what was possible if you worked hard. Eva got inspired after the last time she watched American Ninja Warrior and made little courses in the back yard. She had fun.
Today was my last day in New York after Toy Fair 2014. I stayed an extra day in case I wanted to go back to the show floor in the morning (wasn’t that ambitious) but also to have lunch with a guy I’ve known online for a while now but have never met, Andrew Kardon of Mommy’s Busy, Go Ask Daddy.
We met for lunch over at Brother Jimmy’s in Midtown. That was after I packed up all of my Toy Fair Swag and shipped it home to myself via FedEx. There was may more than last year for me. I caught a cab which was the best plan because it was pouring out and headed to Brother Jimmy’s. Andrew and I have both done posts and giveaways from SteamPunk Goggles and we thought it would be fun and funny to meet up and take some photos while wearing them. It was.
We had a great time talking about all things geeky and blogging and movies and more. It was great to finally meet him in person and share a meal. I look forward to our next conversation.
