Lucky #7

Bueno amigos, Kelly has SEVEN treatments left! She continues to feel good and suffer from no side-effects...other than fatigue and some hair-loss.  She requires a good long nap every afternoon from around 1-5pm, so we try to do things around the city before nap time. Her treatments this past week were at 9:15 every morning, so by the time we would leave MSKCC we would have about 3hrs to wander around the hood.  Hector left back to Panama last Sunday (1/23/11), so I am now staying with Kelly in NYC from M-F.  On Fridays we hop on a train from Grand Central to Beacon and spend the weekend with Mami here in Mountainville.  

Since there isn't very much to report to you guys, I thought I would share some photos from this past week...backwards, starting from Friday!

Another delicious smoothie made by me :) for my hermana...jeje!
Fridays smoothie was composed of:
1 cup of blueberries, 1 cup of pomegranate,  2 cups of spinach, 1/2 cup of plain kefir, 4tbs of flax oil, 4tbs of wheat germ, and 4tbs of raw oats
...simply delicious!

I am so glad we take the train...I would not be a happy camper if I had to dig my car out from underneath a few feet of snow every morning.

Bye-bye NYC, Mountainville here we come!

It's thundersnowing! 

Give or take 16 inches of snow covering everything when we woke up Thursday morning.  All week long the sound of snow shovels scraping the concrete could be heard throughout the city...by Thursday, the side of the roads were piled so high with snow that the Mini-Coopers and other small cars were completely covered! 

On Wednesday Kelly and I walked as fast as we could to Alice's Tea Cup for breakfast and a pot of HOT tea! At this point I have lost track of how many times it has snowed since winter began...we are so OVER winter coats, layering clothing, and boots! Time to get into our bikini's and build up callus on our feet...we want PANAMA!!

Mmmm! So, this is heaven in a bowl.
Fresh berries, yogurt, & tea-infused granola!
Talk about a purrrr-fect way to start your day...we love love love Alice's Tea Cup.

After we filled our bellies and warmed up our bodies at Alice's Tea Cup, Kelly and I decided to pass a few hours browsing around Bloomingdales...we ended up spending the majority of it getting free mud masks and makeovers by Borghese :)

Tea for two!

Enjoying breakfast with my beautiful sister @ Le Pain Quotidien Tuesday morning.  She looks stoked ah?! Mira esa sonrisa :) That smile is a product of good breads and spreads...and me!? jeje...

On Monday when we woke up to come into the city from Mountainville, it was -4 degrees! Talk about COLD...once Kelly finished her treatment, we walked a few blocks to Asia Grill for lunch, and by the time we made it in the door, my buttocks was frozen! Seriously, NOT cool!

Have you ever seen an emerald pixie?!
Now you have!

Mami cutting Kelly's hair last saturday...now she's cuter than a bunny rabbit! 

H watching K's transformation from mod-bob to pixie...check out his Ace Ventura morning hair!  LOL

Dropping K & H off at the train station in Beacon last week...Hector is now back in Panama, barefoot & wearing t-shirts and shorts! Arghhh! ;)

The Beacon train station is behind me, but this is the pier that goes out into the river, which is currently covered in snow and ice!

Snow turned to ice last week after a day of rain...all the branches were covered by a layer of sharp ice.  It was truly beautiful, we have never seen something like it before.

Ciao!
XOXO
