It's off to the races and another Broadway show

Life seems to be moving at rapid speed!  I have been really enjoying my new job and everyone I work with -which certainly has added to the reasons why this has been a nice, smooth transition.  And the fact that there always seems to be something going on has also kept me very busy and has given me opportunities to continue to meet new people.

Case and point: after a delicious dinner at the Melting Pot and my first Broadway show, Mary Poppins, last week this past weekend was just as eventful! 

On Friday night my roommates, Molly and Jess, and I ordered a pizza and watched a movie.  It was quite a gross weather week here last week so nothing seemed as glorious as getting a large pizza and watching an on-demand movie in warm sweats in the living room.  Cheers to that!

Saturday was a gorgeous day and what better way to spend it than at the race track, horse race track that is!  A group of about 15 of us, Tom's friends from work and some of their girlfriends and/or friends from home, went to the Monmouth Race Track and had an awesome time.  We all met up around 10:30 and headed to the track to bet on some horses and enjoy the beautiful day!  I don't think anyone lost too much mooolaaahhh but we all were wishing we were the lady sitting next to us who won $5,000!  She was there for her birthday - man, what a birthday gift!  After the track we went to a few bars in the area!  It was a great day with some great people!

Here are some pictures!

Picking their horses!

Seeing if their horses won!

The Jets boys

A winner!? 

Then on Sunday, unfortunately, my sinuses got the best of me and I lost a battle with a sinus headache.  Yikes they can be brutal!  So - I stayed in my bed most of the day - which actually was wonderful since I love my room!

Then Monday night it was off to another Broadway play!  Tom and a few of his friends from work won a raffle for tickets to Lombardi, a show about the legendary coach, Vince Lombardi.  The show was at The Circle in the Square Theatre just off of 50th and Broadway.  It was a good one act show and we were glad to have been able to go!  Mark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets, was also in the audience!  My first "star sighting" in New York City!  Ironically enough, he is my age - which is just crazy talk!  I mean, Sanchez has got it good - fame, fortune and an amazing athletic career ahead of him but...

I'm living the dream too - and I can't wait to see what is next! :)
