We can now official cross off Atlantic City from the proverbial bucket list! While my mom was here, we drove down that Saturday to gamble and walk the boardwalk. At one point I was up $300 and ended up coming home about $50 less than what I started out. Anthony and my mom on the other hand lost all of their money, but we really did have a grand time (although I highly doubt any of us will ever go back!)

That is apparently Anthony’s silly face in the couple shot! Go figure!

Anthony and I hosted our first ever Thanksgiving with an incredible local turkey and some majorly fun company! We finished off multiple bottles of wine, ate way too much, played board games, and had some lively conversations throughout the entire day!

Our fab neighbors Katrina, Jonny, AJ and Emily! (love self timers!!!)

I wish I was creative enough to design our tablescape but I didn’t! These are all compliments of the HWTM Blog (the one where I won a grill, grill set, plateware and more!!!) in conjunction with Operation Shower. The minute I saw it in my google reader I knew I had to attempt it. I found all the right colored balls between Target and Michaels (thank goodness they are right next door to each other!) and spent a little bit of time hot gluing them to the sticks. Overall it was a very simple, seamless process!

The most amazing turkey I’ve ever had!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Anthony and I went up to the city Saturday afternoon to see Tosh.0 on the Tosh Tour Twenty Ten at the Beacon Theatre. We had great seats and I even busted out my camera to get some photos of Daniel. He was hilarious and if you haven’t discovered his show on Comedy Central, you should totally watch it. He “analyzes” web videos and even does a web redemption which is almost always laugh-out-loud funny!

Also, if you want to see a treat, I’d recommend going into the City on Halloween. There were some very strange people out in all sorts of costumes. Most women were scantily dressed (started out at the train station with three “Disney” princesses wearing very little on a chilly, windy day – overheard them say they were by far the coldest people on the platform. Anthony and I were thinking they were the stupidest but whatever!) but it was fun to walk around seeing everyone being even crazier than normal!

We are starting our third year in NJ (how can that be!?!?!) and have pretty much explored as much of Manhattan as possible. We vowed to make our next trip be about Brooklyn. We woke up Sunday and headed that way! We walked around near the river and it was *freezing*. Gotta watch that wind! We ended our trip in DUMBO with pizza at Grimaldi’s. I’m not sure it was really worth the wait, but we had to try it either way.

Self Portrait Time!!!
