Friday Fragments (The Day After Thanks) 11/25/11

~~ While I'm sure everyone is still munching on Thanksgiving homemade leftovers - tonight we will be dining on restaurant leftovers.  I just didn't have it in me to cook this year.  I do have half a homemade flan in my fridge that I plan on devouring.  Normally, I could do without flan but there's this woman at work who makes them and they are AMAZING! 


~~ We took The Boy to see the Thanksgiving Day Macy's Parade yesterday - luckily my office hosts a viewing party and we had a sweet view of floats.  Best part?  We were in doors!  Free bagels, free cupcakes, free cotton candy - Oh My!  Because there's nothing like cotton candy at 8:30 in the morning.  

~~ Today I ran some errands with The Boy.  Had to stop at the eyeglass spot to place an order for new contacts.  The Boy was restless.  Bad mommy that I am, forgot to bring a fidget toy.  


"I want to go home," he said.


"After here, then the meat market and then home," I explain 


The lady at the eyeglass place said, "The meat market?  They are going to chop you up."  I know she was just trying to be friendly and playful.  But damn, my kid has autism aka LITERAL THINKER.  Please don't tell him Joe the Butcher at the meat market is going to chop him up.  Thanks.  


~~ Black Friday Shopping: PASS.

I had big plans for today.  BIG!  I've wanted to post a Sundays In My City for the longest.  Today was my day.  I woke up early. Ate a good breakfast.  Did a quick load of laundry.  Packed a lunch for The Boy.  Packed the cameras.  All so that we could head into Queens for a day at the zoo. 

It took less than 20 minutes to cross the Whitestone Bridge and arrive at Flushing Meadow. After 45 minutes looking for parking, we decided a day at the zoo just wasn't in the cards.  Since we were in Queens, we stopped by parents house.  It was 10:30 in the morning and they were still in their jammies, eating breakfast.  They were also heading out to Staten Island so we left.

We drove to Manhattan to visit the compadres (aka Nino and Uncle Johnny). After a little lunch, we left.  The Boy needed to look for leaves and The Husband had a Giants game to watch.

Before heading back to The Bronx, we took a stroll along the Riverbank.

I would have stayed out there longer but The Boy said the magic words: I have to poop.  

Needless to say we hurried home to The Bronx.

Later that afternoon, I took The Boy out to the playground so that The Husband could have a few hours to himself to watch the game.      

After a while, The Boy said he had to go to the supermarket.  I didn't need anything from the market, but hey, I went with it.  He did so well in the supermarket!  He walked in and knew exactly what he "needed."  He also needed cookies, but I had to draw the line.  

I felt bad that our day didn't go the way I wanted.  But I guess there's  always next Sunday.

What's a Sunday like in your City?
