Well today went w/Deb and her sister Renee into NYC today for a little more belated b'day celebration in honor of Cher's b'day! LOL..esp since yesterday it was raining a bit here in NY and me and Renee were working yesterday..We headed off to our favorite spot and Cher's Serendipity (god the weather was fantastic today too!!!!!!!)..and it was funny as we went in the guy that works there saw my Cher shirt and said u know Cher was just here NOT once but TWICE this wk!!!!!! OMG!!! He said the first time (mid week)she came into the restaurant and had her young chicken sandwich and her frozen hot chocolate but that the 2nd time she had her driver pull up in the black SUV/Van and that he and his mgr (the owner)went out to greet her and spoke w/Cher a bit and brought her out her SAME goodies:) So that was a nice surprise to hear we didn't expect! Shocked it didn't make o'l Liz Smith! LOL..well not yet anyways..Was real crowded today as Saturday so didn't have time to even ask which days exact..he just said this wk and MID WEEK during day:) ..Cool huh? Anyways..we pigged out..god we love that place and are so very addicted we'd go there even if Cher didn't like it..I think ALL the waiters know us now! LOL..cos originally he told the crowd outside 2 hr wait..and it was 11:30AM and then Renee had to use ladies room and I went in to buy stuff at the shop and while there the waiter we had last time stopped by when he saw me and said Nah just wait we'll get u guys in real soon won't be 2 hrs and he was right..we waited maybe 25-30 min tops..was not bad at all for a saturday.. Then we just walked all around..the day/weatherwise was amazing!!!!!!!! Shopped around..got little cher goodies when Deb turned her head (she was guarding me good cos she knows we're all broke fom brokers lol..and she was watching her sis who loves Pocketbooks lol..they're like on every corner! LOL..then we saw the new exhibit that's been on Today and Good Morning America at the Museum of Natural History..Was real nice:) fun times..Happy B'day once again Lady Cher..great seeing u again Ladies..And now ready? Mega kewl part..Deb and Renee leave at NY's Pt Authority and I head back on subway to Penn Sta by where MSG is to go home and who do I see...OH MY FRIGGIN GOD.."BONO" from U2!!! I was like DEBBBBBBBBBBBB I need ur CAMERA lol..they were already gone..lol..U2 is performing at MSG tonite here in NY and I saw mega fans..mega from ALL over the world..overseas too who came in for it..and then I heard screams I turn around and there was Bono from U2 sticking out of his car on his way into the Garden! It was soooooooo friggin kewl he was like dancing around outta the top and waving to like everyone for quite a while..was so kewl!! met this other nice girl there who was visiting from Syracuse then I later ran into her on the TRAIN..winds up she was visiting a friend she met online on a KISS website (hearing this Johnny! LOL)..they've now been dating like 6 mo..she lives in Syracuse and he in LI..and the ride home like flew..she was so nice..she noticed the bracelet Javier made me for my b'day and flipped..cos her name was CHERYL and she thought that's what it said..LOL..funny right..unfortunately she's not a CHER fan just a huge Kiss fan and told her when me Bert and Gaby saw Gene Simmons at Cher's LI show..she was like really he was there? LOL..But although not a Cher fan Javier she absolutely loved your bracelet:) Renee did too:) Great times..Great day..Happy B'day lady Cher once again and thanks for bringing us altogether:) And to yvette..thanks for the leftover metrocard:) came in good use not just the last time but again today and there's still monies on it:) LOL..

Sounds like you had a GREAT time Jan! Love that frozen Hot chocolate...to die for! Next time at Serendipitys I don't think I will even eat...just have desert..that was quit enough! So sounds like Cher is not "resting" at home but busy out and about. I LOVE NYC...there is just so much to see and do there! I loved it many years ago when I went out for Jan and Ed's wedding and than again to just visit them; and I def loved it doing the Cher Adventure! Will have to do it again...we have nothing like the city here in Michigan. I didn't do much for Cher's birthday this year at all, had to do soooo much running around (looking for a particular book) and just catching up on things that have been put on hold because of California trip! Gee I found bills I forgot I had!! I did have a Cher cake made up for dinner at kirk's today. You should have seen the girl when I told her to write Cher on it...face expression...priceless! DEE

What a great day it was - the weatherman's forecast was totally wrong, said it was going to be a dreary, overcast, rainy day. DEAD WRONG!!!! Not a cloud in the sky until around 6 or so. My sister's a die-hrd U2 fan, she would have fallen apart on the sidewalk if we'd been at Penn Station, Jan. And the only camera we had was with me at Pt. Authority.... The wait at Serendipity wasn't bad at all, and there was NO LINE whatsoever when we left; I was pretty amazed at that. I only had half of the "Cher Special" (that's what I call it), the young chicken sandwish (more like Thanksgiving dinner!) We did share Jan's Frrozen Hot Chocolate, so I guess the meal was "official." On the way in, I told the waiter the next time Cher stops in to tell her "Debbie says hi!" He got a good laugh out of that. It was very inspiring to visit St. Patrick's Cathedral, too, so beautiful. I took tons of "tourist" pictures, too, including Jan/my sister with an NYPD officer outside of St. Pat's (there's one with me, too), that gigantic whale at the Museum of Natural History - what an awesome place, definitely a "must do" for anyone visiting NYC. I could spend days just looking/reading in the dinosaur exhibit alone. And the security/information people there are extremely nice and funny - had a lot of fun talking with them, including the one security woman in the entrance who spotted Jan's tee shirt and who turned out to be a fan! Tons of walking, but on such a beautiful day, it was the perfect thing to do. It only started to rain after we got home and collapsed on the couch - perfect timing! I'm not sure what else you secretly bought while I wasn't looking, Jan (lol), I'm definitely not the person to be the "souvenir police" - just look at the enormous bag of goodies I brought home last time! I can't wait to get my film developed now, and I can't wait to do it again! Debbie
