My wonderful mom is 50 today. Hurrah hurrah!  I wish I could be with her today to celebrate. Birthdays are special and 50 is a big deal, I think, so I hope she’s enjoying her vacation and is having fun on her special day.
Today I’m also starting the countdown to my own birthday. 100 days til I’m 30. If there is anything I should do before the big 3, then I better hurry, I only have one hundred days. I feel stressed about that, but then I think of all the things that I have actually done and then it’t not that bad:)

Min underbara mamma ar 50 idag. Hurra hurra! Jag onskar att jag kunde vara med henne idag och fira. Fodelsedagar ar speciella och 50 ar en big deal, tycker jag, sa jag hoppas att hon njuter av sin semester och har kul pa sin speciella dag.
Idag borjar jag ocksa nedrakningen till min egen fodelsedag. 100 dagar tills jag ar 30. Om det ar nagot jag borde gora innan den stora 3an, da far jag skynda mig, jag har bara hundra dagar. Jag kanner mig stressad over det, men sen tanker jag pa allt som jag faktiskt har gjort och da ar det inte sa illa:)

I saw a tree in Central Park yesterday that inspired me. Trees that just branch out everywhere and spread wide are not only beautiful, to me they say something too. They don’t care, they just spread their branches all directions. I love that. There is a huge and really old tree in Lisbon (my friend actually made an amazing choreography inspired by it) that I sometimes think of. We walked by it every day on our way to school. It is such a wide tree that they had to build steel railings to hold it up. That tree just went for whatever it wanted and along the way the humans helped it to keep growing. Amazing. 

On Sunday we decided to have brunch in Brooklyn Heights and then walk along the water with lower Manhattan as our view. So nice weather so it was really perfect to spend time in a park. When we came home, I took T out for a long walk along the Hudson River. In the evening Denice, Jeanette and I went to see the kids movie Zootopia. What a great movie! Such inspiration for kids.
It’s gonna be 22ºc today and probably even warmer tomorrow! Wohoo!! So my guess is that we will spend our days outside from now on 🙂

Last week we had very mixed weather so some of the days we were a lot more busy than others. On Tuesday the first day of March, we had Korean bbq at Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong and after a really good dinner we continued on to see The Knicks at Madison Sq Garden. Denice caught a t-shirt at the game (with one hand standing on one foot and won over two other guys who tried to take it, hehe). We had a fun night. This was the first time D ate Korean food and her first time at a basketball game so it was fun that J could get us all tickets through work. There was plenty of famous people there then too. Michael J Fox, Michael Rapaport, John Turturro, K. Michelle and Nicky Jam. 
Jim and I went to Webster Hall on Friday and saw three bands. PWR, some other really bad band and then Ra Ra Riot, who we have seen twice before. I had such great time there. That place is huge so after the concert ended we went downstairs and had an entire dance floor to ourselves and below that was another stage with some old band playing.
