It's like New York knew I was moving up and that I might miss the sunshine. It's like it knew I would miss the smell of the ocean and the palm trees. but seriously, I bought this heavy coat, loads of jeans and thought that I would be chest deep in snow until April. Ah well I can't really complain that much, I'm in total love with this sunshine and how it makes everyone smile. These New York peeps are so in love with the warmer weather too it's hard not just smile all the fricken time.
Anyway, so it's been in the 50's for the past week, and all I can think about is how the 50's use to mean that it's the dead of winter. I prefer the cold, always have for some reason, so having this middle temps thing going on is the perfect weather for me.
So I lost my phone and ended up having to get a new one. And although I never thought that I'd get an Iphone, I sure enough did. It's amazing, it's got so many things to look at, and read, I love it. But now I'm more that ever worried about it at all times. Making sure that it's in my purse or wherever I might be, it must be there as well. I hope I don't become one of those weird people that have less friends because they're always on their phones.
I'm going home in April. 17th-24th. And I'll say this a million times before I actually go, how fricken excited I am. Also since I have the Iphone, I can see my family now! The tiny one has an Itouch and we can facetime! I got to see her and the dad yesterday and it was great. Although I did just wake up from a nap and looked like a hot mess it was still so nice to see them! AH! I can't wait to hug them!
So now it's time for work. Work that I seem to keep enjoying.
Happiness is being full of homemade shephard's pie.
Love me like I love clear blue skies and hot mixed berry tea...
I've been in New York for a year, the desire is still tact, the dream is still alive and kicking, and I'm wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

Smiling Everywhere...
What can I say, again, for not posting? Well there is no excuse. It's just that I don't have a desk, and sometimes I'm just so fricken lazy, and blah blah blah. Anyway, this is what's new....
The Toole's and Robbie came to visit in December and I had the best time with them! It is so nice having best friends come to visit you. We did loads of touristy stuff, laughed a whole bunch, and I just loved having them here over all.
Then we had this whole fisaco with the NYFD, Dept of Buildings, and our landlord. It was because we live on the 4th floor and there is only one way in and one way out. So it was required that we have a fire escape. After avoiding the Fire Department, calling the landlord a million times, and talking to so many people, they finally put one up. Now we can eat, sleep, and play in a safe building. Although the building is still an illegally converted building, all is well in that regard.
The twins came to visit for New Years! And although I ended up having to work the eve and the day, it was still so amazing to have them up here. We went to the rooftop of my old apartment and had champagne and talked. We went to bars and danced till morning. We laughed a lot too. And ate we ate loads. Top 5 best visits for sure. (Yes it's true, I've only had 3 visits, but still it'll be up there forever.)
Work is still alright. The food and drinks are still the main driving point for the job. I never get mad about anything. I've got this terribly thick skin and nothing really bothers me. But about 3 weeks ago, an opportunity was passed over on me for a serving position. And not that I would have minded if they would have hired someone with more experience than me as a server, it's the fact that the manager chose someone who had never served before, and it was the other hostess that works there with me. I was so mad, but there's only so much you can do.
We got internet and cable!! We were stealing it from the kids on the 2nd floor but they ended up moving so we had to get internet. And then we started thinking about how much we miss TV, and badda bing badda boom, we've got an LG 32' TV. The cable people told us that if we got a home phone too we could get Showtime and Starz for free. So we now have a home phone too. Oh! and the kids on the 2nd floor also left us their futon, although it's broken it's a nice kind of couch for now. It's starting to look more and more like an apartment and soon, we're gonna have parties and sleepovers, and whatever else happens in furnished apartments.
And while we're talking about TV, I'm on the season finale on Dexter, and I've missed him so much. It wasn't as exciting as so of the other ones but still it was pretty good. And next I'm moving onto Shameless, AHHH. God I love that show too.
I'm going home in April. The 17th thru the 24th, and I don't think I can express how excited I am about it. Seeing my family, hopefully getting to see a decent amount of my friends, seeing the ocean hopefully as well. It's going to be an amazing week. Little one is getting confirmed, middle one is turning 21 for goodness sakes, and I'll just enjoy being in their presence.
I think that's all? It's lunch time and then clean this place like crazy.
I miss you kids, I love you all and think about everyone often. Message me/text me/ facebook me/ call me, I want to hear all the amazing things that you all are doing. I've seen nothing but good things so far.
Happiness is my comfy clothes and being alone in the apartment.
Love me like I love saving money, getting ish done, and being surrounded by blankets watching the tube :)
