Busy all the time now

I feel like I just went from 0 to 60 in a day. I was working 2 days (barely) a week, writing, drinking coffee, watching TV and applying for jobs. That's it. Oh, and waiting around for Joe to get home. Now I'm working 56 hours a week and I don't have time to shower. Still, money is a wonderful thing.
My mom is coming in two weeks. We're going to the Chocolate Show, as I described before, to the Rockette Christmas Show, to Mario Battali's restaurant Babbo (where we got to meet Mario last time), and probably to see the Frick Collection. Oh the wonders of New York!
Last Monday, in fact, I got to see a free "play" all about coffee. We went in thinking it was a lecture, and it started out that way. Then a women kept interrupting the speaker and all kinds of things started to happen. People brought out TVs and then suddenly 5 different cups of coffee were set in front of each person. We learned all about the history of coffee and what makes it taste the way it does. We tried at least ten coffee samples by the end of the night, not to mention the perfect 28 second cup of espresso. Check out Joe's account of it too.
I really must say that New York has been good to me because to top it all off, last weekend I got a free ticket, front row to the World Sumo Wrestling Challenge!!!ARGH!!! How cool am I? Not as cool as they are.
