Working it out

It's been a busy couple days. On Thursday I had a chance to help Deidre on a shoot up at Columbia so we trekked up there and did headshots for a nonprofit she has been working with. It is great to be able to see what kind of gear you need and just really working free lance all over the city. It is way different than in Ca where you have a car to haul all your gear. SO I am grateful to get to tag along and also be of some help. After we finished that we called the Hughes sisters, Sara and Emily who are in town from Ca and we know from OCC and made plans to pick them up in the cab and head over to Bushwick for dinner. It was great to see some familiar faces as I am definitely missing all my friends at home. We went to a darling little place by Deidre's called Robertas and had yummy pizza and salad with ingredients from right on top of the containers that made up the back patio.

Friday was a day for me to just get out and explore the city. I went to one of my favorite spots, Union Square and was so pleased when I cam out of the subway and realized it was the Market Day. I love the market there. I bought (yes I know I am on a buying freeze but I couldn't help myself) a darling little t shirt. I mean come on. I had to right.



I did also buy a couple sun dresses at F21 because it is so hot that is all I want to wear. Pants are out of the question right now and shorts aren't even that comfortable. I also took a little break and sat in Filene's to take in the view that I love so much.





After that I made plans to meet up with Sara and Emily and some of their friends. I am doing my best to meet new people and get out of my apartment regularly. And I am so glad I did because it was a lovely evening. I had had a late snack so I wasn't hungry to meet them for dinner so I just walked the streets around the Village and met up with them on 2nd and 5th. From there Sara the human disposal was in the mood for dessert so we set out to find a good spot. After poopooing Chikalicious mostly because there was no available seating we headed south to Dessert Truck and boy did it not disappoint. I think between the 6 of us we ordered one of everything. I had the Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Rosemary Caramel and blackberries. Yep Ridiculous. Sara ordered three things but the best had to be the donuts with the vanilla creme filling. Emily had a Rosemary and a Thyme ice cream while Kylan had the frozen hot chocolate and Julie ordered the berry something or other. ALL of it was tasty. Major dessert score. Major girl in the city score.

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

June 18-It's a good day

There is nothing like an early morning run to give you a total attitude shift. The birds are singing, people are walking their dogs, houses are waking up and all seems right with the world. I know, I know, there are a few of you who will argue vehemently that running, at 6am no less, is not exactly what you would call a good time. But I beg to differ and I challenge you to try it. Just once. I am not going to lie, it's been a tough week. Work has been busy, I had a free lance job that had me up until 3 am on Tuesday night, I have been on an emotional roller coaster and I have had moments where I just wanted to crawl under my covers and hide. When my alarm went off this morning, I was surprisingly not exhausted.  I made a mental note that I would just take an easy run. Start out slow. I was scheduled to run 35 minutes but since my run yesterday got ixsnayed (how exactly do you spell that?) I decided to try to go a little longer so I don't pay for it on my run Saturday. SO I hopp...

We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
