Day 311 skirts the issue

I had to be in Manhattan at 8:30 this morning for a work event. Yikes! Too early. I did, however, get to wear a new skirt. I bought this skirt a little while back, but didn't have an occasion to wear it recently. I love the print. With it resting at my waist, I felt a little bit like Joan Harris. All I needed to complete that look was a box of red hair dye and an incompetent doctor husband.

Day 204 get your gun

Please excuse the late post as I didn't bring my camera cord while frantically packing for New York. Saturday night we went to see our friend star in Annie Get Your Gun. She was wonderful, of course! And it was nice to beat the heat inside this theater near the beach.

Day 203 stays hydrated

It's hot as hell. I didn't drink enough water today. And I'm about to leave for a weekend in New York City. Wish me luck.

Day 145 is getting ready

I'm currently doing some crazy multitasking: eating breakfast, putting on makeup, and blogging! Today I'm going to New York for a work event. It's going to be a long day, as after the event/reception I'm going to the Upright Citizen's Bridage Theatre to see a show! My excitement vastly outweighs how tired I'm going to be for the rest of the week. Oh, and this is the little outfit I'm wearing!

Day 108 knows this view so well

When you live in this city for as long as I did, you start to know its secrets. Like where the cleanest public bathrooms are , what bars have the best happy hours, and the best place to grab a quick and cheap slice of pizza post-partying. And this one here... the best (secret) place in union square to sit, put your feet up and do some people watching while you relax. I love this view and this part of the city and was glad to get a chance to sit and enjoy one of my old fave hang spots for a bit today. But as nice as it's been to be back visiting friends and this wild town, I'm quite vacationed-out and ready for a cozy bed, a nice long shower and lots (and lots) of sleep. thanks for the fun, nyc!

Day 107 is back to reality

The drive back to the city post-wedding was really just a continuation of the fun. I happen to love the two crazy west-coasters I traveled over with and we literally can't stop making each other laugh. We stopped off for ice cream on this marvelous day and it really hit the spot. Who says you can't have ice cream for lunch? Perks of being a grown-up!

Day 23 goes Bowling!

My trip to New York was a blast (except for leaving my phone behind, thus changing my sleeping arrangements. Thanks again Mer!)! We went bowling at The Gutter in Brooklyn. After a 3+ hour wait and a few brews we were ready to hit the lanes. Good laughs, good friends, good times! And no one got hurt - well at least not anyone in our group...

Day 22's bags are packed, sorta.

I hate packing. I'm going to New York today to visit some of my best college friends (some of you might be reading right now- hi friends!). This is a short one night visit and I have no clue what to bring. The worrier in me wants to bring five changes of clothes, a couple books and a first aid kit. Logically I know I just need the basics. If I forget something I can always buy it, this is America afterall!
