This past weekend was spent completely inside the tiny apartment with my roommate Kelly and the guy she's dating. The three of us quickly prepared for Hurricane Irene to come and make her appearance in NYC.
Friday night i went out and bough flashlights and extra toilet paper and freezer bags and prepare the apartment to be blown away by a hurricane! I filled 18 freezer bags with water and then placed them in the freezer so that if our power went out we would have water to drink and a way to keep our food cold.
Throughout the storm we decided to cook as if it was our last meal. Saturday morning we got up and whipped up eggs and toast with mimosas and Irish Coffee.
The rest of the day was just waiting for Irene's arrival. We decided to get out of the apartment and go to a local bar, near our apartment, and get a couple of drinks to pass the time. So fun!!!
Overall Hurricane Irene was a lot of money for the preparations and a little disappointing in her end result. She hardly came to NY. All we really got was a lot of rain and some light wind. Not that big of a deal. This event just proved my love for NY even more. At one point Mayor Bloomberg stated, "I mean we're New Yorkers...we can get through anything"
And it's so true!
Thank you for all of the prayers and blessings from back home!
For now...
