today is friday. which means it's the weekend. which means, i am excited.
this past weekend was memorial day. hopefully, everyone out there knew that and was able to celebrate in grand style. i myself made it to a couple of BBQ's and was quite in love with the smell of all things lighter fluid. it reminded me of texas.
one BBQ was in brooklyn. i left the island. and it scared me. also, i looked like i just arrived off my yacht, and had finished a conversation about harvard. naturally, i didn't fit in. it was humorous.
this weekend, one of my close friends and i will celebrate our one year anniversary of moving to the city that never sleeps! it's a big deal. and even though we haven't lived here for a full year (i went to chicago, she went home after our respective internships) we both came back and that is what matters.
so we are going to be all touristy. and cute. and if you see us squealing like 17 year old girls, well, don't be surprised.

something more.
last night, i was able to see "33 variations", a play starring jane fonda. it closes today, thursday, so i was pretty lucky to see it. plus she was nominated for a tony for best actress, and COME ON! it's jane freakin' fonda.
the show itself was wonderful. not exactly what i was expecting, which isn't a bad thing. most of the actors were excellent - colin hanks is also in it, and i really like him. there are some parts where he sounds just like his dad. i mean, i was wondering if it was indeed mr. tom hanks himself.
today, i received my business cards! which means, i am a real adult. well, not really. but i have cards to hand out to anyone and everyone. i am quite excited.
i have also started a new diet. which isn't like, "new" according to some magazine or televisions how. but it's new to my and my stomach. i have started shopping at whole foods a lot more, and started eating in. while most will say "whole foods is so expensive! how can you afford that?!" i will say:
"well, living in new york, everything is expensive. so for me, there really isn't a price difference on it compared to shopping at the same ole grocery store"
i have been eating tons of fruits (pineapple is my favorite so far. but i love strawberries, and always will), and have switched to organic milk, which doesn't make my stomach make these weird digestive sounds.
i can tell my skin is a little better, and i haven't really gained weight, nor lost it. but i feel much better and brighter, which i feel is a major plus.
the only thing i need to work on is my ability to get up in the morning and run.

whoa. long time.
it's been quite a while, and it is totally my fault.
the past few weeks have been quite crazy, and i think now i have the time to reflect and obviously discuss.
the weather is changing in nyc, and my allergies are killing me. i can't stop sneezing, my eyes look like i have been doing coke for 13 hours straight, and my body is achy. i know you care.
i moved into my sublet a few weeks ago, and more importantly, i now have my own bed! like, how adult is that? very, i know. it's my first real piece of furniture, and i can't wait to add more.
my job is still going strong, and i love it. i don't have a lot of stuff to do right now, so it's weird for me to just sit here. and update my blog. but they are all busy (all being the partners) and can't really walk me through what they want right this second. but i will wait patiently.
oh, and i am starting to run again. i hope to compete in a marathon or something soon, so watch out for that!
