I was kind of a hermit this weekend - but it was fun! And restful.
Finally putting in my a/c unit tomorrow - THANK GOD. It gets hot in my little apartment. I think Toulouse will appreciate it too.
Had fun on friday with Andy -- went to see Mighty Wind, which I've been meaning to see & drank a LOT of sake!
Then saturday went to Tara & Anwar's engagement party - was fun, but short. Jenny came with me & was with me when I had some car drama . . . I hate livery drivers. They SUCK.
Other than that, I cleaned the apartment as much as possible, gave myself a facial, and relaxed! Was pretty great!

Then this morning I woke up and felt like crying for some reason. Don't know what is wrong. I hate that. Just feeling kinda sad & mopey. I have issues.

Well - I hope I make Dave's Off-Atkins Pizza Party today - I could use some pizza & beer . . .

I'll write later.

FRIDAY. I am so happy!
Going to see A Mighty Wind tonight - I'm totally psyched!
This weekend is Tara & Anwar's engagement party - should be fun . . .
I hope this nasty weather goes away - today is supposed to be the last day of the heatwave, but you never know . . .
I'm beat from this week. I hope to sleep in tomorrow.
I will spend this weekend thinking good thoughts about the Lunch Date.

PEACE.

One more hour of work. I'm kinda tired. I'm really glad tomorrow is Friday. I seriously am in denial that it is the end of June. This year is whizzing by and I'm not sure what happened to it. I feel like 30 is approaching me faster than anything! Its not a bad thing, but time really does fly.
I need to make an eye doctor appointment. I'm into wearing my contacts again, after about a year of wearing glasses. I really want to have the laser surgery done, but its expensive and I have to get rid of my debts first.
I might be going back out to the Hamptons for work the weekend of July 4th. I hope so - its totally beautiful out there. Its so nice to be near a nice, clean beach!
Anyway. I'm looking forward to Dawat tonight - its SO GOOD.
I'm also looking forward to sleep!
Y'all come back now, y'hear!

Beach House was great yesterday!
I wish I could have stayed out there.
I also went out to dinner with Ann and she told me all about her fabulous new job :) We had sangria and tapas - YUMMM. I love Cafe Noir.
Tonight we are doing restaurant week with Sue at Dawat - should be yum as well.
I don't have much to say today.
Its hot out.
It sucks.
Wish I were back at the Beach House!
Wish the Lunch Date would make up their minds already!! I'm starting to get anxious.
Toulouse is such a cute little chicken.
Oh well. I'll write when I actually have something to say . . .

Okay - so all is not lost. I got an email from the "lunchdate". Guess I still have to give them a week to find out.

Aside from that - exciting news! I get to go to the MTV Beach House out in the Hamptons for work today -- fun! Glad I won't be in the 100 degree weather here in the city - no, I'll be by the sea!!

WOO HOO.

Anyway. That's all I have to say about that.

Had a disturbing dream about my ex last night. I hate when my brain does that to me. I have to remember to write it down later in my journal. (the one you guys don't get to see!).

I'll try to write later.

Tuesday. I went & picked up Toulouse last night (and the car). Ended up having drinks with Dave and Mike B. Then we met up with Susie and went to Caffe Carciofa (or however you spell it) and it was GOOD.
Only bad thing was that we were being very leisurely and I didn't actually get Toulouse till about 11pm - then I drove Mike to the subway, and dropped off the bird at home. . . Long story short, I didn't get to bed till well after midnight. ME TIRED. I haven't been able to catch up on my sleep since vacation . . .
I know - poor baby, right?
Well, I have yoga tonight & then I plan to go home and PASS OUT on my couch & hang with Toulouse.
Chili & Erica had a baby girl yeseterday. CRAZY. I can't wait to meet her! She sounds totally cute :)
Anyway - I guess I should go.
Catching up on stuff is so hard after vacation . . .

Oh - PS - I called the "lunchdate" - wasn't in. SIGH. Oh well - now I have emailed and called. If there is no response now, I guess it is back to the drawing board.

IM BAAAACK!
Colorado was really nice. I had a blast with Emily - doing all the outdoors-ey stuff :) Just starting to get my pictures back. They are really great.
The only bad thing was that my grandmother (mom's mom) passed away while I was on vacation. My mom got to go down and my brother and I really tried to get down there, but we didn't. I realized how difficult it is to leave the country on short notice.
Anyway - I'm really proud of my mom for being so strong. I should call her soon . . .
I'm really tired. Didn't sleep much yesterday (flight back).
And JetBlue kinda sucks. The t.v. is great, but its not very comfortable . . .
I have kind of a busy week. Its weird - the wedding and birthday season is upon me and all of a sudden all my weekends are getting booked up.
I have to pick up Toulouse tonight. I didn't get to pick him up last night since Dave & Susie were driving back & I had gone to Carlotta's to watch SITC. It was fun!
Today was absolutely beautiful outside. Got to eat lunch in Bryant Park. LOVED!
Also had some Tasty D-lite - MMMMMM.
So I emailed my "lunchdate" from two fridays ago, but haven't heard. Might call them tomorrow & see what is going on . . .
Well.
This is a really half-assed blog, but I'm tired & I have to pick up Toulouse.
See you soon.

So "lunchtime" was good! More news about that soon, I hope.
2 1/2 more hours & I'm off to the big CO!
Work is SO quiet.
I plan to sleep on the plane tonight. I'm really tired. Went to bed later than I had hoped last night. I'm really excited to hang out with Emily.
I should check in with Dave & see how the little birdie is doing . . .

AHHHHHH - Friday! And I'm all packed & ready to go to Colorado tonight! I talked to Emily last night & we will have a blast!
Toulouse & the car are with Dave & Susie now - so all is good. I think Toulouse will have a good time with them --- they let him out & he can hang out in his little door like he loves.
I also have that "other thing" today. Hope it goes well.
The weather is nasty out - getting to work was terrible with my bags. I hate humidity. Good thing the mountain air is pretty dry for the most part.
I probably won't write here next week since I'll be away and won't want to sit in front of a computer!
I will take lots of pictures & talk to everyone when I get back . . .

BOO-YA!

Good morning! I had fun last night at happy hour & then some. I'm kinda tired today, but it is well worth it. Andy and I got lost driving between Brooklyn & Queens last night - saw some interesting parts of the boroughs!
Anyway - when I got home, I met the cutest gay boy couple in my building. Didn't get their names, but they were taking their CUTE doggie for a walk (nice big brown doggie). One of them was eating a Hostess Cupcake. They were really nice & totally cute. Nice to meet nice neighbors.
Today will be slow at work I think.
Gotta figure out a way to look busy.

I just had the yummiest Indian lunch - MMM. I wish I could eat it every day. Someday I'll have to go see the sacred cows in India. And do some yoga. And eat the yummy food.
Finding Nemo is the cutest movie. Everyone should check this out: http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/findingnemo/index2.html?
Its fun!
Hmmm - what else?
I have happy hour tonight with the crew, then I"m hanging out with Andy I think.
FUN!
Guess I should pack at some point too . . .

Wednesday morning. Two more days till I go on vacation. And some of you know the other significance of friday as well . . .
My birthday is coming too - I'll be 26. Sounds weird. But as I was telling Adolfo the other day - I look forward to getting old - cuz once you reach a certain age, you TRULY stop caring about what other people think. You can walk around in your underwear and yell at people & it totally doesn't matter.
Hee hee.
Toulouse is so cute. I wish I could bring him to work with me.
Okay - time to go make my oatmeal!
Catch you later.

This day is going by slowly. It is SO beautiful outside! I want Tasty D's (frozen yogurt for those of you who don't know).
I'm lookin forward to yoga tonight - its so good to do it when its nice out.
Gotta clean out Toulouse's cage too.
Hmm.
I'm getting close to the end of Satanic Verses now. Its totally good. Funny how this guy was forced to go into hiding for writing it because it was "sacreligous" -- its so not. But people always like to have someone to be a scapegoat.
Which reminds me - I saw a report on the news last night that Wal-Mart will start to use sleeves to cover up magazines like Glamour, Marie Claire, etc. because the covers are too provacative with their headlines. PU-LEEZ.
That is the most insane thing I've ever heard. How is it that this country continues to become more and more Puritan every day??

HEY KIDS! What to talk about this morning? Its a beautiful day out. I want to go out & frolic. I have yoga tonight - WOO HOO! Gotta shape up for my vaca in Colorado. I can't wait! Three more days & I'm on my way to Breckenridge . . .
Well - I don't have much to talk about this morning. Guess I'lll write later!

8:52pm. I've been sent back to the office. Its boiling hot in here since there is no air conditioning on. I have a headache.
This really sucks.

I just ate some tofu "fingers" They were drenched in some weird Thai sauce. Not bad. Tofu is really weird when you think about it. I was watching a cooking show on PBS yesterday and they showed the process of making tofu. It was actually kind of nasty-looking. But I guess its better than other things (won't get into because I don't want to offend anyone reading this).
Also - I depend on tofu for so much of the protein in my diet.
I read somewhere that vegetarians outlive meat-eaters by 3-6 years. That isn't very much. I guess because the world isn't a very healthy place to live. Its germy.
But there is no way to kill all the germs.
They keep coming back for more.

I think Toulouse has allergies like me. He sneezes a lot - like me. I guess my apartment is dusty. I try to clean it as much as I can. Well - I guess there is no way to get rid of all the dust. You just move it around.

I am reading an article from VOGUE that talkes about vacation time and how Americans totally neglect their vacation time. The average American only takes 10.2 days vacation. We are the only country that doesn't have laws about the minimum number of days we should have for vacation. EVEN CHINA HAS A 15 DAY MINIMUM. What is the deal? There is no deal.
We are so warped. Obscene food intake, consumerism, and . . . no vacation. That doesn't make sense.
I think I'm going to become a hermit and move to Iceland.
Then I could frolic among the volcanic activity and swim in the geothermal pools.
But then I'd have to start eating meat. Or at least fish. Hmm - I will have to rethink my re-location.

I really want a new job.

Testing . . . .

I'm kinda bored at work. Not much going on. I see the sun peaking out and I want to go out and play. Are there any jobs that involve frolic in the sun? Scratch that. Working out in the sun might ruin it for me. In the words of one of the greatest films ever: WORK SUCKS. Actually - if we didn't HAVE to, it would be much better. But what can you do? I guess read Ayn Rand and get all worked up about it. Speaking of reading - I'm reading Salman Rushdie. He's awesome. Though I feel like a fool reading him. How did he get so smart?
Ah well. Guess I should get back to pretending I'm working.
Wonder what I'll have for lunch . . .

This is my first blog. I think this will be lots o fun! I can't wait to really get going on it! Good way to get stuff outta my head. Thank you, CHIC!! See you all soon!
