- A great friend was in town from Atlanta and so I took Thursday and Friday off to spend some QT. We took advantage of the 80 degree weather and hit up Central Park with a blanket, bottles of wine and $50 worth of dips and cheese from Whole Foods. Since we'd be wearing bathing suits, we strategically chose a spot far away from the size zeroes who populate the Park when everyone with hips and an ass is sitting at their corporate desks. I was tempted to interview them; ask them what it's like to not eat for a living.
- Spent Friday at Great Jones Spa with an awesome Swedish massage -a little oasis in the middle of NYC and some much needed pampering.
- Crossed ugly SNL actress in East Village on my way to a fellow Penn Stater's "Laid Off' NYC screening. Didn't know said actress' name, so I googled "ugly SNL actress" and found Rachel Dratch's IMDB page.
- Shared a special moment in the Bloomingdale's bathroom with Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical fame. I got the stall after her (yea, that's what He Said, She Said)
- Received an email from Pictage customer service in response to my obnoxious post the other day. The CS rep offered to unsubscribe me so as not to bother me anymore. An excellent example of targeting influencers so they will help your company reputation. Well I just wanted to thank Michael in customer service, let him know I already took the liberty of unsubscribing myself and look forward to more annoying emails from many upcoming weddings.
- Modern Family was hilarious. The Hills [Speidi] is out of control. Grey's Anatomy was disturbing slash amazing, and reminded me why I have stuck with it all these years. DVR is god.
- Checked out NYC's new Limelight Marketplace. An assortment of boutique kiosks and gourmet food counters now occupy the decorative space that was first a church, then a mad hip nightclub (glow sticks and fake ID required.) "Coming Soon" signs announced Grimaldi's Pizza is taking their incredible pies across the Brooklyn Bridge [SCORE]. I also stopped at The Little Candy Cake Company counter because these adorable little chocolate cakes caught my eye. They work so well for bridal showers, engagement parties or even wedding favors, and are available as customized cakes with the couple's names!
- Nothing like a reality check of how the years are passing. Not because last night when I was buying my roommate's little brother a graduation (double) vodka soda at the bar, he looked around and said "wow, this is an older crowd" ... and not because I saw the final Shrek movie in 3D today and LOVED it, or that I sat behind a four-year-old in the theater ... but because I was shocked and awed during a preview for Toy Story 3 when I learned that Andy is headed to college. I remember when he was just a little boy trying to get a Woody, and now he's off to college looking for a Buzz [seriously, I'm happy to talk about how witty I am. just let me know]. I'm guess I'm going to buy Andy a vodka soda next time I'm out with an older crowd.
p.s. Back to the grind tomorrow AM. What's getting me through it? Bachelorette Season 6 premiere and we're hosting a Bachelorette party for it.
