Turns out that these were plates from the buffet at the MSG after party. Jenny had taken a whole bunch of food from the buffet, put it between two glass plates, wrapped it in a napkin and put it in her purse. But the napkin had come undone...
Meredith, Leigh, Jenny and I all got into a cab and we headed just a couple blocks to where she told us her apartment was in the Lower East Side. We got out of the cab and walked to her front door. She got in front of her door and then exclaimed "Wait a minute! I don't LIVE HERE any more!" We all laughed. But then when Jenny couldn't remember where she'd since moved we realized that she was A LOT drunker than we'd originally estimated.
A little before 1am, our bellies full of pizza bagels and our hearts filled with free-drink cheer, we bid Matt farewell! (We thought we were going to see him at the after party, but he's ex girlfriend had some drama and he didn't end up coming. Boo!)
Later, we enjoyed the windy afternoon admiring the view our affords of the East River. Here's Meredith showing off the two "dinosaur sew-on patches" she'd recently purchased.
...and Meredith was taking bottles she'd saved, cutting them in half, sanding their rough edges smooth and turning them into drinking glasses for our apartment. Hahahaha. LOVE.

Jeff hooked us up with Toy Fair badges (with other people's names on them - so we had to pretend that we were TOY BUYERS!!!) and set out with us to explore all the booths! We got to visit the Cranium pavilion! This is pretty much the closest Meredith's ever come to a religious pilgrimage.
I had Monday off of work! My buddy Jeff Scott was in town from Colorado to attend the toy convention at the Javits Center and invited us to come up and check it out.
Hahah. Mandy tries to help liberate Meredith and Gurj from their shackles! (PS - I love the shitty look the girl in the background is giving them. Hahahah).
On January 2nd, a couple more gifts I'd gotten for Meredith showed up in the mail! (Because it's rare that I ever order any gifts early enough to have them actually show up on time!) The first gift was a...
I'm not sure how you kicked off your 2008, but we kicked off our 2008 with a whole shit-ton of delicious Thai food for breakfast! Awwww, yeah! After get our spread set up...
