Here I sit, sleep deprived, glistening in the humid glow of the un-air-conditioned upper east-side apartment of my in-laws. I brought Kelly (@childhood) home to meet the fam and being a Phoenix native, the only thing missing in the experience for her is a desert cactus. Me? I’m just thoroughly enjoying nature’s 90+ degree Insanity Facial – correction Body-cial. There’s sweat coming from areas of my body I had no idea actually had sweat glands, the middle of my fingers, heck, I think the lobes of my ears just may be exhibiting a bit of condensation.
Sweet Kat is lying here next to me, the humidity has formed the most adorable tight ring curls in her hair, just like mine always was growing up on the east cost. It’s a right of passage for the Denver born children in our family to visit the healthy, open-air, summer sweat-lodge, Chez Bryan. Kat will be hitting the city streets hard with Grandma while I’m doing the Blogher thang. Let me tell you this much, you won’t ever read any complaints about troublesome mother-in-laws from me. I am so thrilled that Kat will be able to spend some special time with them over the next few days. I always enjoy my in-laws, and there’s nothing like a home-cooked “Grandma Meal”, so it was nice to come in a day early and spend the night here. This family likes it’s open windows year round and, while I’m feeling slightly delirious at the moment, I wouldn’t trade a night with my hubby’s parents for all the air-conditioning in Manhattan.
I’ll be showerin’ up in a few moments and heading over to The Hilton New York, where I’m excited to meet up with General Motors for the Chevy Drive Event. We’ll spend the day at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York. Don’t be too jealous but I’ll not only partake in one of New York’s most renowned culinary “experiences” (just wait until I explain in a future post), I will have the opportunity to learn more about and take a ride in ….. THE CHEVY VOLT!!
What’s on your schedule for today?
