Today
Happy Halloween to everyone! I moved to NYC last year on Halloween. So, technically, I've been here for over a year. I can't even believe it. It feels like I have been here forever, yet went by so fast all at the same time. I am still loving it, so I guess that's all that matters, right? Anyway, Happy 1-year to me! YAY!

Mom and Dad in NYC
Finally I'm uploading the pics from mom and dad's visit a few weeks ago. We saw a lot, walked a lot, ate a lot, and had a blast! I'm sure they can't wait to come back! Thanks to Chris, Heather and the Upper East Side kids for hanging out with us...

Weekend
Okay, first of all, I still need to upload the pics from mom and dad's trip, but haven't had a chance (since they are on my home computer and I am at work), but I will try to get those up this week.
So for this past weekend...
It was the first weekend it started to get a little cold here in NYC. It is SO fantastic. Everyone will tell you how much the winter sucks (and maybe I will in a few months too), but for now, I am LOVING it. The fall is so beautiful and peaceful and festive. I love it. Last year, winter wasn't too bad, so maybe I had it easy, but I loved it. I've never lived in snow and I thought it was fantastic to have so many extreme seasons.
The weekend was comprised of a lot of different neighborhoods and goings on. Friday night, I was feeling lazy and I had to clean from the Game Night we had on Thurs, so I stayed in. Heather came over after her show and we just hung out. It was so nice to just relax and wear PJs. YAY. Saturday I ran some errands, hung out in the park and then went to the West Side to see a movie with Heath. (Jane Austen Book Club- don't waste your money- although I think we got our money's worth making fun of it after because I was laughing about it all night long). After the movie, I went home to change and met everyone out for Daniela's Bday. We went to Pegu Club down in SoHo first (good specialty drinks!) and then to Society, where I've never been. It was such a fun night! Maybe a few too many drinks as I was trying to cut back, but whatever. You only live once right? Happy B Day Daniela!
So we got home late on Sat, and then I was meeting the boys for brunch on Sunday. I got to see Chris and Joe's new Chelsea apt (so beautiful!) and we went to brunch in their neighborhood. Then we decided to have an adventure and go to Macy's on a Sunday- I can't believe we did it, but we did. We had fun picking out bedding :). Then had dinner at this little Italian place that was good. I was so tired by the end of the day that I couldn't make it out for another drink and had to go home right after dinner. Oh, also Chris and Joe gave me their extra coat rack that is SO perfect for my apt. I love it!
Now it's back to Monday and back to the grind. My last day is 10/31 and I start the new gig on 11/5. Wish me luck!
PS I'm trying to be better about updating the blog, so if you check back more often, hopefully there will be some new material for you to read :)

Game Night
Okay, so last night was game night. I have no pictures bc the camera is not fixed yet, but we had a great time! Hyun and Claire tied for the winners of Balderdash (the best game EVER). I somehow took the cake on Apples to Apples (which wasn't as funny as we had all hoped) and they Syracuse girls (Katie, Wendi, Heidi and Marina) came from behind to beat the Media Planners for the Taboo trophy. By the time we moved on to Cranium, I think we had all had a bit too much wine and couldn't really get it together to play the game (especially those of us secretly turning the games into drinking games). The recycling man will be happy with all my glass contributions. Also, we had no spills and no breaking glasses! I must admit that the iPod playlist was a little lacking- that was my fault. Well actually it is iTunes fault because they are processing my information wrong and won't let me log on. Everyone brought great wine and snacks (cheesecake on a stick and homemade spinach/artichoke dip- does it get any better!?). Oh and obviously we went to Baker Street after. Shocking. Thanks for a fun night girls! I had a blast :)
Sex and the City
FINALLY I saw them shooting. Everyone else in this city has seen them except me. They were just outside Bryant Park/NY Public Library shooting the wedding scene. Unfortunately the camera is broken and I didn't have my phone with me, so no pics, but I did see Sarah Jessica, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon! Just a few feet away. I felt like I was watching TV :) I owe it all to Claire who decided we should go to Zeytins for lunch. Thanks Claire! woohoo!
