Any fellow gladiators out there? I’m counting down the days til Season 6 of Scandal! Remember the season when Kerry Washington was pregnant in real life, so Olivia Pope was suddenly really into ponchos? One time she took off her poncho to reveal…another poncho. That show was ahead of its time (poncho-wise) because now it seems the one-size wearable blankets are everywhere! I got this one for 15 bucks on Black Friday in New York and it’s super cozy. I’m thinking I’ll leave the doubling up to Olivia Pope though. Call me a traditionalist, but I’m more of a one-poncho-at-a-time kind of girl.

Fun fact: I bought this hat on a whim while at Target getting stuff for my trip. Another fun fact: I took it to New York and wore it for 10 minutes before a pigeon pooped on my head. I guess it’s better than poop in my hair?

Anyway, Day 2 in NYC was a big one! We started the day at the 9/11 Museum. Despite the fact the flow of the main exhibit is terrible, and despite the fact the subject matter is depressing as hell, it is still worth a visit. In 2001, I was too busy being an angry teenager to really process and care about everything that happened. This time around, I had a lot more appreciation for what so many people went through that day. That’s about as close as this heartless fembot comes to empathy. 😉

To balance out the somber start to the day, we partook in the great American past time of Black Friday shopping. In SoHo. Go big or go home, right? Surprisingly, I didn’t go too crazy. My favorite purchase was a pair of tassel earrings from Club Monaco.

But wait! I saved the best for last. The day ended with Waitress the Musical (thanks to my MIL for the tickets)! It. Was. Amazing. I usually prefer a dance-heavy musical and this one was pretty minimal on movement, but it was funny and sweet and happy and sad and Jessie Mueller melted my face off and it smelled like pie (seriously). And…AND…after the show we met Headmaster Charleston from Gilmore Girls!!!

Told you it was a big day. Totally forgot about my poop hat by the end.
