Just back from New York City…

by singlemomseeking on August 24, 2008

The travelers are weary, but we sure had fun. Thank you to all the single dads who dared to guest blog, and to all of you who kept the conversation going here.

I’ve just downloaded the vacation pics, so here’s a peek:

M and I took the red eye to JFK, and headed north on the train to northwest Connecticut. My friend Amanda — we met on our first day of college — has a little cabin up there.

Here’s M, hangin’ out with Amanda

Amanda is playing “flip the girls.” M did not go under this time…

M gone fishin’

m-fishin

Kids’ only canoe

M and her friend insisted I take their picture in the butt crack of the charging bull in the Financial District

Cooling off

On my way to go out with my former UPS man

Cartwheels in Central Park, on our last day

I’m so grateful for the time in the woods! Thank you Amanda! And to my intense, loving lawyer friends with your brownstone, it was the best!

Let me guess what you want to hear about first…

Read the book! Single Mom Seeking is a tell-all about how to date and remain a dedicated and involved parent. It’s a spunky, sexy, and moving chronicle of the humor, pitfalls, and rewards of balancing it all — single-mom style.

Are you wearing a corsage on your wrist??

(Our PC monitors at work are pretty old, so I can’t tell…)

But that was just my cute way of saying, Yeah, so do tell!

Susan: that photo is all blurry because it was one of those self-timed shots, as I ran to the doorway. Hmmm, it does look like a corsage! No flowers… but I did get something else, mmmm.
