Brrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Pardon the constant comments on the weather... but they're probably going to keep coming! It's cold and rainy. The kind of day that you just want to curl up in some sweats, make hot chocolate and watch romantic comedies all day. Sadly, I live in a city that doesn't stop for anything!

The weather started to change yesterday while I was at work. I went to work in a long, cute skirt, a thin long sleeve and scarf, but by the time I was leaving (@1:30 a.m.) I borrowed a few more layers and had to "borrow" an umbrella from work due to the unexpected rain. However, on my way to the subway I noticed another unfortunate soul waiting under an awning of a restaurant, who I assumed hadn't anticipated rain either. I decided to go with my 'southern' instinct to be friendly to a stranger and offered to share my umbrella. As the man looked up I realized I was speaking to Matthew Broderick! Ha! He smiled and said 'No Thank You' and that he was just planning on taking a cab. He asked if I was headed to the Village (lower Manhattan for you non-New Yorkers). I laughed and said no I was heading to the subway on 6th Ave. I told him to have a good night and went on my way. Of course, I spent the rest of my trip home thinking of all the witty things I should have said and going back and forth between cursing myself for not taking advantage of a rare opportunity but then congratulating myself on being a "real" New Yorker who leaves celebrities alone. Zac and I experienced this when he visited this past weekend. We walked by Ted Danson and Julianne Moore when we were in lower Manhattan. They're just people for goodness sake!
Fun moment I wanted to share! I need to go layer myself before going to work!
