beautiful day

yes yes, i haven't written in awhile... why? i have been so god damned busy... i went home and basically had a whirlwind of a weekend. i hardly felt like i was home. there was one point where i was home with all of my friends and i seriously had a moment when i was like "why the fuck did i move away?" and then i stepped back into new york, and i remembered why i am here. and i stopped being sad. this is where i really truly belong. takes a long time to figure out, but it's worth it in the end...

in other news, IT'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE. it's like 75 and NO humidity. it is absolutely amazing. i walked to get subway and pinkberry and was loving every moment outside. i haven't really been outside for awhile because buffalo was COOOOOLD and i have been working super late, but i enjoyed my time outside today. please stay like this for foreverrrrrrrr.

ok, so i got the wii fit. and jesus, mary, and joseph does that thing kick me in the ass. i woke up in the middle of the night last night because my abs were sore. seriously... a video game...

ummmmmm i am now going to wii fit... and watch some tv. sex and the city movie tomorrow. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

BANG BANG BANGS

i finally did something i have been talking about for months.... i think i have a blog that dates back to september or october talking about how i want to do this... so after careful consideration and many chickened out attempts, i finally did it...



i fucking got bangs...

initially when the hairdresser told me to look, i was like "OMG i look like ugly betty!" but then i styled it a little more to how i would do it, and it looked better.... less bettyish... so anyway, yes, i do have bangs... and i can also part them to the side which im excited about!

enough about hair... i have to mention this without going into to too much detail. i have mentioned in other posts that i have been dieting... and this diet has been hard to say the least. so i have altered it... andddd now i am down 11 pounds. wahoo! this may all change when i go home this weekend. shit shit shit. gotta be good gotta be good.

that's enough out of me. i may blog once when im home. if not, happy memorial day to all.

"why aren't we going to the bar with popcorn?!?"

a couple of things i will cover:

honestly, why can't it be nice out. i don't even need sunny as long as it isn't RAINING. let me go through a series of events that occurred today... i went to work, it was drizzling, but i was kinda damp. i had to go to the bank on my lunch hour, and while it was fine when i left, it was pouring on my way back. then, on my way to brooklyn to visit meaders, a fucking shit fucker man RAN OVER MY TOES WITH HIS SUITCASE, and proceeded to ruin my favorite shoes without saying a word. i just screamed in the middle of the subway station, and people were looking at me like i was crazy. then i had dinner with meaders, sister meader, and sister meader friends. while walking to the next bar IT WAS SO FUCKING COLD AND RAINY that i became instantly miserable. i was soaked. however, i had a great time with meaders and co. just wish it wasn't so effing miserable outside.

next order of business... now, i kinda have an idea of who checks my blog. i feel safe writing about things when i know who is reading this. however, i recently have had a frequent visitor from upstate new york who i have no idea who they are. so YOU, yes YOU from upstate.... reveal yourself. or there may be consequences. aka, this blog might go bye bye... so there you have it...

i am fucking exhausted. i am going to bed SO early. 23 going on old lady. yehhhhh

a few of my favorite things...

i didn't really have the greatest day ever... sooooo i am going to talk about things that make me happy...

1. gossip girl. dear god, this show is so bad that its AMAZING. and it just keeps getting better and better. i only hope that it doesn't have the oc curse and start sucking next season. but... how can it?? it's so good!!

2. the sex and the city movie. yes, i know it's going to be terrible. yes, i know 15 years think this is the coolest show ever (calling miley cyrus). yes, the previews have basically given away the movie. but i am so FREAKING excited. i want to go once upon a time when no one knew about this show. and there was me waiting every sunday night to watch it. and people would giggle every time i mentioned a show with the word 'sex' in the title. and now look at what it has become. and fuck everyone, because i'm psyched for this movie.

3. going home in a week and a half. i can't explain how excited i am. i am not excited, however, about the temptations in food i will have. ugh, i don't even want to think about it... BUT i am going to be seeing sooooo many people, and for that i'm excited. i'm also going to the movies like a bajillion times. because i choke every time i think about the $12 ticket.

4. summer is coming!!! and with the coming of summer is the arrival of summer fridays! i get every other friday off in the summer and who KNOWS what i am going to do. visit people? explore the city? sleep? ahhhh can't wait. my first summer friday is memorial day weekend in which i will be home. wahoooooooooo

yeh... so that's it for now. my teeth hurt, and i didn't sleep well last night, so i am going to try to go to bed. ugh, let's hope tomorrow doesn't suck as much.

viva la vida

this week has been quite... strange to say the least. i'm just glad it is over. i sorta had the day off in that i didn't have to go to work, but met up with my team at MoMA (home of one of my favorite paintings in the world). it was nice (despite the HURRICANE that made my commute there ever so... wet...) and i enjoyed having most of the day off.

my mom's here for mother's day weekend. we are just taking it easy. sunday we are going to see one of the loves of her life, morgan freedman, in 'the country girl' on broadway. she is quite quite excited. hopefully he stage door's and we can get a photo. it will probably be framed and put all over the house at home. rod stewart and morgan freedman... my mother's choice in men...

so, remember earlier this week when i said coldplay is giving away tickets to a concert in nyc? well, now is your chance to enter.... and... take me?? please? here, i will even make it easy for you to enter... just click here. see how easy that was? omg, please make me the happiest girl alive and get me tickets to this concert. also... they are going to be in jersey on my birthday. hmmmmmmmm... anyone want to go???

and i will end with this: everything happens for a reason. if things are meant to be, then they are meant to be. when the time is right, i'm sure it will be right. and i have total faith that it will be. but for now, i will take the long way around...

gawker girl

spotted: elisabeth hasselbeck with her husband and children at vynl on the uws. our waitress must have been too busy staring at her that she didn't come to our table for 20 minutes. then didn't bring our drinks for another 10. food came shortly after, but i didn't get utensils for another 15 minutes. heLLLLLOOOOOOOOO?!?! needless to say, the food was delicious, i used the 'elton john' bathroom, and had a delightful time. elisabitch and all.

spring and summer every other day

i think i am going to try to make a conscious effort to write more in here. it's become like a post a week (sometimes 2). problem is i don't really have much to post about. everyone keeps asking how is my 'fabulous' life in nyc.... annnd i don't have much to tell. i wake up, walk to the subway, go to work, walk or subway home, and collapse. exciting? i think not. sometimes theres a little variation from the norm (dinner with friends, a show, celeb sighting, etc) but some of those things are not really that exciting for other people to read. so i will try to write more. but this blog might start to get really really boringgggg.

this week went by SO fast! i couldn't believe that it was already friday yesterday. and... IT'S MAY!!! MAY??? MAY!!! i can't believe it, it's absolutely crazy. it sure doesn't feel like may (weather, why are you so cold and rainy?) but it really truly is. as of tomorrow, i have been in my apartment for 3 months. 1/4 of my lease is up. crazy, right? there are days where i feel like i have lived in the city for a week and there are days where i feel like i have been here for forever. i'm really starting to adjust to city living. i do miss little things about suburbia like having a car available at all times, grocery stores with endless amount of selection and lower prices, and the lack of tourists. but for the lack of these things, you get more in return. seeing PEOPLE at all hours of the day, one good restaurant after another, forcing yourself to walk, $9 manicures, the ability to see a broadway show any day of the week, seeing something new everyday. it's a nice change, and something i am learning to take advantage of.

so what's up for may? every weekend is booked with something with the exception of the last weekend. it's going to be a pretty busy month. and starting memorial day weekend, we get 'summer fridays' at work where we get every other friday off. ummmm, i'm pretty excited about that. especially with getting some guests to visit on those long weekends. and going to visit some friends (LA, here i come!). plus i will be home in may, july, and september. summer is going to fly by, isn't it?
