Money, Money, Money

Today I went to the fair with James. Usually I would go with Lyndsey but alas, she has work. Anyways, this year like all the years before, I only go to see the 4-H displays. However, before I even arrive, there was the matter of parking. Finding space and parking is easy enough. However, finding a spot in which fair-goers are allowed to park but at the same time escaping the parking fee is not so simple. After numerous stops without success, I finally ended up parking near the middle school parking lot. I am merely a little annoyed with the fact that in their (whoever deals with parking fees) greed for money, they much gip people of a few dollars to park. Why, under any normal circumstances, no money is necessary to park. I simply find it absurd that we must pay to even grace the fairgrounds...how unfair.

NYC Trip

I have to say that this year's NYC trip is definitely the best. It really didn't start well but it certainly ended well. Let's see, we didn't arrive at LGA until 10pm due to storms so we pretty much spent the whole day on a plane. The next day, my cousin Ah-Ping took me and Sandy to Broadway and Time Square.

So here is Broadway and the girl looking back at me is my cousin. Notice the McDonald on the right...it really should be a symbol of America - its EVERYWHERE!

So this is the M&M king. We went into this gigantic M&M store, which is right next to the Hershey store. For M&M fans, this is your dream store. There are three floors of M&M items and food.

This is a view of NYC from the top of the Rockefeller Center.

So the rest of my week at NYC was pretty awesome. There was a cousin cookout on July 4; that was a blast. On that day, I learned how to play poker and in the process kicked my cousin Alan's butt. We also had way too much food: chicken, steak, hamburgers, and shrimp kabob. I bet there is still some left. The advice I received from my cousin Alice: run if my mom mentions meeting a guy. (lol) I bet all of you are confused. So my aunts are big into matchmaking their kids in hopes of marriage and grandchildren. Fortunately, all of their attempts have failed. Despite this, I shall run away from home if my mom decides to join the Mother Matchmaking Club.
