Well, my friends, so much for planning ahead - we never made it to the Mermaid Parade. Actually, to be more precise, we made it to where the parade was being held, but never found parking. After about 45 minutes of circling throughout the joy that is Coney Island, NY, we gave up.
During the drive, and the circling, we laughed SO HARD! We were all in "good form," coming up with hilarious comments, movie quotes, funny voices, and perfectly timed reactions. I had a good mix on my iPod, so the music was just right. Despite our disappointment at not making it to the parade, we were still having a great time.
SOOOOOOOOO, Lindsay (my sister), her boyfriend (Dan) my friend (Brooke) and I decided to drive to Williamsburg (also in Brooklyn), and go to a great seafood restaurant that Dan recommended.
Okay, right? That sounds like a good "Plan B." Let's go to some hip restaurant in some hip neighborhood and feel as if the day is still going well.
So, we find our way there, by car, using a subway map. This was definitely a demonstration of our fine skill at navigating (I can't believe it actually worked) - we made it there within a half hour.
Only to find? It was closed until dinner time.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
So, at this point, I hadn't eaten since 9am, and it was after 4pm. We found a little cafe right where we had parked, figured out that they were still serving food until 4:30 pm, so we ran to our table, sat down, picked out food, and took a NICE, DEEP BREATH! Phew!!!
What an adventure!!!!!!
I promise to post some picks from the day in my next post :)

My Car-friend's Back and You're Gonna Be in Trouble...
I got my car back today!! YAY!!! To make a very long story short, the engine exploded back at the end of the summer, and a variety of circumstances prevented me from both fixing it and getting it back. But, today, the ordeal has come to an end, and my baby is back!
The picture above is NOT my exact car, but looks very similar. She is really cute, and is just the best. But, now, I have a quandary - I need your help. What should I name her???
Please submit your name suggestions for my green camry -
I will hold a vote of my top four choices, and whoever wins gets to know that they have named my car! Woohoo!!
Go ahead and leave your suggestions in the comment page. I will then post a poll, and we shall see what my car will be named. Thanks for your help in advance :)
