just another manic monday

i had the greatest time saturday with the girls! we met at susie and allisons apt in murray hill for champagne, brie and berries and hung out, watched tcu get stomped by OU (sadness), marvelled at susies amazing shoe collection {{i am not kidding when i say this girl has the best shoe collection of ANYONE i know. and she is absolutely adorable, so you can't hate her!!}}, and had the best cupcakes from magnolia.

we headed to aspen for our dinner reservation at 9. it was pricey, but wonderful. i got the bison sliders, mo got the trout tacos - we split them and had one each and then shared a side of asparagus. it was the best $9 asaparagus i've ever had. haha. i had their rose sangria which was delicious and perfect.

after dinner we headed to the LES (lower east side) to pianos where we were meeting other friends. the cab ride took forever, or so it seemed. it was mo, tanya, susie and me and we spent the majority of it talking about broadway shows we've seen, and want to see - tanya and sus beat me by double digits. man. then it turned into a singing fest of wicked, phantom of the opera, lion king, then little mermaid... yea the driver was amused. especially as tanya explained to him how she was actually quite sober, she just loves disney songs, 'the classics' she said. haha.

pianos was so crowded. we ended up going to some other place down the street. couldnt tell you the name. but it was much less crowded and we got a table. it was so nice having kirby here that i kept forgetting she would be leaving in only a few hours. so i cozied up by her side and made the most of the rest of her short visit. as the night came to an end, and it was time to say goodbye - the tears came. and they came hard. im sure it was partially alcohol induced... but mostly just that i miss my best friend! and it sucks being so far from eachother. but i will get to see her in san antonio in november... :) so that is a very good thing!

yesterday i dragged myself out of bed to go meet my mom's friend allison, and her daughter stephanie, that were in town. they were going to see 'legally blond' at the palace theatre at 2, so i met them at planet hollywood in times square for lunch before. stephanie is 13 and she was absolutely mesmerized by all the decorations, costumes and movie stuff that was up in the restaurant.

when i got home, i crashed. fell asleep. hard. i woke up at 730pm... whoops. but going back to thursday night and then the long weekend, i know my body really needed it. i woke up, went and got two pieces of pizza for dinner (healthy i know) then began working on this thing for electronic page deign and watched the season premiers of both desperates and brothers&sisters. ah fall and all the new shows! like i need something else to add to my procrastination! i stayed up till 4 working on my project. i just wasnt tired after my long nap.

today i am doing laundry, i went to the grocery store, and im working on design stuff for the week. when i went to put my laundry in the dryer earlier, i came across this great find at the bottom of the stairs! it was by a big trash bag of clothes and stuff. i figured someone was just giving it all up. my laptop fits PERFECTLY in it and has room for other stuff too. and there is a strap that makes it perfecting for toting my stuff. i think its so great and has such personality. whoo me.

happy monday everyone.
