Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope your Thanksgiving went well!

Mine was certainly relaxing!  :)

It started off with watching 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan & Anna Kendrick @ the $3 Theater!  On Wednesday nights, they have a Date Night Special for $10 which includes 2 movie tickets, 2 popcorns & $2 sodas!  Great Deal, Great Movie!  :)

T&I don't have family in Cali - all his family is up in Vancouver, and mine is back in Chicago.  So Thanksgiving can get kinda lonely.  But we're so blessed to have amazing friends who welcome us into their homes/families to stuff our faces with food!  =)  We ended up having TWO Thanksgiving Dinners!

Pumpkin Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, & a mix of American and Vietnamese Food!

This year, we didn't do any Black Friday shopping, so it was nice to just sleep in and chillax!

Today, we decided to do take part in a "serve others" day, so we handed out care packages to ppl in the community in need.  I'm not normally comfortable doing stuff like that - it's definitely out of my comfort zone!  But I was so ENCOURAGED by this opportunity!

Deal of the Week!

As I've mentioned, I've been really into couponing (especially since I'm unemployed and have student loans to payoff!). 

At Target (technically a couple weeks ago-so deal of the month really), these babies were on sale for $2.99, I had a manufacturer coupon for $1.50+a Target coupon for $1.50 = $3.00 off!  Basically, I got it for FREE!  SCORE!  =)

Drive

Over the weekend, T&I watched Drive at the $3 Theater!

It was a lot more gory than I expected it to be.  And it wasn't the typical action movie either.  But I thoroughly enjoyed it!

And we finally got to try Bruxie-YUM!!  Buttermilk Chicken-so light & fluffy!  With vanilla cream soda & nutella+banana waffle for dessert...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner!  What're you thankful for?

One hand in the air for the big city

Back to NYC updates (2 months later of course)-

We went to the 9/11 Memorial - very somber, but very well done!  Of course, as a business/finance person, I felt I needed to see the charging bull & NYSE.  At the charging bull, we encountered the rudest Chinese tourists! 

9/11 Memorial & Charging Bull Statue

Anyways, there were obviously so many pizza places to choose from, but we chose Lombardi's.

Of course we did some SoHo shopping!

One of the best egg tarts in NYC @ Tai Pan Bakery!  Having lived in Hong Kong for 4 yrs in high school, I can vouch that this place is LEGIT!  They had soooo many other HK goodies that I sooo wanted to try, but was way too full!  Next time we're back in NY, we're definitely heading back here...

Finally, The BEST meal/dessert in NY:

Momofuku Noodle Bar

Cereal Milk & Creamsicle (not pictured), Crack Pie-truly addicting!

Lately,...

...I've been into these shows:

Thanks to unemployment, I've managed to watch How I Met Your Mother from its very first episode and am now caught up with the current season (within 2 months)! 

AND, I've FINALLY watched these (yes, all 3 in a row thanks to Showtime) - I finally understand the Edward vs. Jacob debate!:
