Oh Goodness...

People are going to think that I'm a terrible blog person. It's been over a week! They'll say "You said you'd blog everyday, you said you'd keep us up to date. Blogging is serious Mackenzie." I was talking to someone this weekend [While I was in NY, but more about that in a bit.] and they were saying they have been reading a lot, but some of the blogs are so hard to read and what not. I don't think that's real reading, is it? I suppose if it's by an expert maybe or, eh I don't know. I didn't realize this blog world is more intense then just writing down a few things. But anyway, on to the more fun stories :)

I left for New York on Thursday afternoon. Got to the airport early, did the self check in, didn't check any bags, got through security pretty quick, success! And then the flight was delayed like an hour. It was pretty fun, it never fails. So I sat and wrote and had a margarita while I waited. Finally got on the plane, took a 99 watermelons [little liquor bottle] with me on the plane and had that while I read to JFK.

Finally get north, take an insane cab ride to Fiona's place, and then it began! We had some dinner, went out had a few drinks, and then some sleep. Some of course is the key word. Friday was getting up and going into the city by myself and talking to the Moe's people. Ended up getting a call from the owner and she's gonna send me an application and go from there. A step in the right direction right?

Friday night was end Fi's best boy friend from college, dinner, and then sooner or later sleep. Saturday wen did some errands for the party that night, had more good food, and watched TV for like 5 hours, it was lovely sitting hanging out. Got ready for the party and then it began! She's got a great group of people and I have been lucky enough to meet loads of them and them welcome me so nicely.

Was up until like 3 something. I had to be out of the house by no later than 6, flight was at 8. So needless to say I was a bit tired/hungover this morning. Then the flight was delayed because of the weather while we were on it, but I didn't even notice because I was sleeping.

Back home now, have eaten and slept a bit more, and totally indulging in some Lifetime Movies. I don't feel as sad leaving this time because everything is pretty set for September. We've talked about how the room will work, how long I'm allowed to stay, now all the needs to happen is make sure her parents are cool with it. Ah yes, it all seems to be coming together.

Well just to be sure, I've been keeping my fingers crossed.

This week is full of working, and then something to look forward too, American Aquarium on Friday! It has been too long and this is just a few steps below being super excited about NY.

The fireworks have begun in the backyard so you know it's almost the time. There is nothing more exciting than fireworks, family, and a cold beer. That's what I plan on doing after work tomorrow :)

Alrighty kids. Stay cool, be safe with the fire, and make sure you smile a few times this week.

Happiness is being in love with madness that is involved in getting and leaving New York. It never fails, ever. And I love it.

Love me like I love my family. Having talked to everyone today, I'm just the luckiest girl ever :)
