I want to apologize for my absence as of late, along my slow posting habits.
You know how one day you wake up, (or one night you get a phone call) and then suddenly your whole world is turned upside down. It’s like you’re waiting in the security line at the airport, taking you time, planning on getting a latte and sitting by the gate before your flight boards; And then, they open a new security line so things can move faster, and the attendant directs you to be the first in that line, and it catches you all off guard and now your speeding through the process and suddenly at the gate waiting for your flight a lot sooner than you thought you would be; AND THEN you get bumped to an earlier flight, and upgraded to first class, and handed a mimosa and told to relax? Well my life has kinda been like that for the past week.
I have neglected friends, phone calls, emails, and blog posting. And therefore I apologize. I would like to thank those who have been sending me good vibes, facebook posts, tweets, and emails, and especially those friends who take me out for margaritas when they know I need one.
Alright, I got that out of my system. I will keep you all updated on my new life as soon as I can, but in the meantime, just understand that I am going through some changes.
To recap the weekend:
The boyfriend and I had FAR too much fun at the Union Square farmer’s market, and kept cursing that we couldn’t really buy anything because then we would have to carry it around ALL day and night (we finally got home at 11:30pm).
I especially had my eye on a beautiful burgundy colored potted mum… guess I just have to wait until next week.
We did come away with an amazing cup of hot apple cider (my favorite) and a few goodies for family and friends.
Then we went shopping. May I note that it is impossible to go shopping with a boy. Utterly impossible. After trying on multiple pairs of jeans, and getting into a heated argument about the appropriate color of denim for work and play (I had two sales reps. on my side!), the boyfriend walked away with TWO new pairs of jeans. This is a breakthrough moment people! Let me bask in it’s glory.
Once he got the shopping bug, my boyfriend was picking out hats, shirts, and jackets like a pro! I am so proud.
Then we went to see Where The Wild Things Are. I am SO glad I bought tickets five days in advance. The place was PACKED. Lines to get tickets, lines to get popcorn, and a waiting line to get into the theater that wrapped around and down the hallway and back again. It was insane!
The movie was SPECTACULAR! It was like my childhood, wrapped up in 2 hour Spike Jonze package. Love.
Also, Karen O is my hero.
Also, I automatically love any movie with Catherine Keener (especially when she plays a mom).
Then we wandered around New York for a good few hours, stopping by Washington Square park, and getting lost in the West Village until we found the perfect little Italian place. We ended the night with a pair of cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery. Perfecto.
On Sunday I enjoyed a lovely breakfast in bed, a quick workout, and a trip to Williamsburg for the Bop & Shop to visit the lovely Sammy Davis of Sammy D Vintage.
Now we’re off to a dinner party in Manhattan at my old apartment with my old roommates!
Hope you all had magical weekends!
