my weekend

I feel like I haven’t slept since last Wednesday. I was having an early drink with Little One on Saturday when Miss Brit texted me that she was a friend’s band’s show and there were people dressed as unicorns. I rushed from East Village to Astoria because who doesn’t love hanging out with unicorns? LO and I were pretty drunk when we arrived but there definitely were unicorns and robots at the bar. I mean…what the? It was the funniest, most random thing I’ve ever seen. People were wearing unicorn horns made of aluminum foil and robot outfits. Sober or not, we could not figure out the association with the two. But who cares, right? I stole someone’s horn that was laying on the table and danced around with it until I broke it. Miss Brit broke the horn apart and then suddenly starting stuffing its contents in my mouth. Turns out the horns were stuffed with rice krispies treats. What a nice surprise! And then later somehow a random can of whipped cream appeared next to me. Unicorns, robots, and whipped cream. And of course, because I wasn’t planning on going out, I didn’t have my camera on me. I assure you, it was funny.

On Sunday I went to Jersey to see some of my girlfriends. It was also Thai New Year so we all went to dinner at a Thai restaurant I used to work at when I was in high school. I haven’t eaten such good food since my mom moved back to Thailand! After dinner we all went to a local martini bar for the usual, dirty martinis. We were having a great time talking and catching up and were ready to wrap up the night around 12PM since it was Sunday and all. But then suddenly my arm was ripped out of its socket by a man asking forcing me onto the dance floor. And that’s when the night went from “just a few drinks” to “I don’t know how many martinis I had.” Girlfriends, good food, martinis, unicorns, and total randomness are a good combination.

sick and stir crazy

Well, in case you were wondering, I’m still sick and barely moving 5 feet from my bed. My throat is still closed up, I can’t open my mouth for more than an inch, haven’t been able to eat solid food, and it hurts my throat and mouth too much to speak. It’s. The. Pits. Not having health insurance to figure out what’s wrong with me is also the pits.

Bionic Woman texted me yesterday to say, “Life isn’t very interesting when you’re sick.” I thought this was pretty funny because I usually text her a million times a day but I just haven’t had the energy.

I’m feeling pretty useless right now and going a little stir crazy. I want sunlight and foooooood. Even ice cold water would make me happy right now.

The only bright side of being in bed for 3 days is that I’m all caught up on Season 4 of Dexter. O.M.G. The finale just blew my mind!

Hopefully I can get out of bed and start eating again before the end of the weekend. Hope you guys have a wonderful (and warm!) weekend.

my weekend…

I had such a lovely weekend. I met a friend at Stanton Social on Friday for some cocktails (I had champagne with mint and sherry) and a tapas dinner filled with some interesting combinations; octopus bruschetta (my fave), french onion soup ouches, mini corn “dogs” (filled with corn, no hotdogs), chicken and waffles, lobster pizza, warm donuts with caramel dipping sauce, and red velvet ding dong. Oh my goodness I was in heaven!

On Saturday, I took the train to Jersey to attend my friend’s husband’s surprise 30th birthday party. His face when he walked in the room was priceless. I was so upset that I had forgotten my camera battery on the charger at home. I caught up with my favorite girlfriends, imbibed 5 hours of open bar, and ate yummy football shaped cupcakes. My friends had me laughing so much that I actually popped my jaw out of its socket. (Yeah, it hurt). We ended the night with egg sandwiches and a slumber party at my girlfriend’s (I will never get too old for slumber parties!).

Now it’s back to work and sending out more resumes. Crossing fingers!

have a great weekend!

I can’t believe how much snow we’ve gotten already and it’s still going. I’ve always hated snow but this season I’m finding it so beautiful. Maybe because I’m able to stay home and watch it from my window. I’d love to drink some Glüwein (hot spiced wine) and snuggle up with The Shack (the book I’m currently reading) but tonight I’m going to meet some friends for drinks in the East Village and dinner at Stanton Social.

Hope you have a lovely weekend filled with hot cocoa, snuggles, and snow covered branches.

stratton weekend

I had a wonderful few days in Vermont with my girlfriends. It was my first time there, and I’m usually not a snow/winter person, but I absolutely fell in love. I even texted my friend when I got there to say I may be considering mountain woman life. I quickly rescinded that text the following day, after a full day of snowboarding, every inch of my body hurt. I didn’t even know I had muscles that could be pulled in those places. My abs hurt so bad that laughing and even breathing was painful. Nonetheless, I am addicted to snowboarding. My girlfriend, K, was such a patient and wonderful teacher and stuff with me until I could stand up and do a full run without falling.

Back at the cabin we drank hot chocolate with kahlua, sipped wine, played funny card games and catch phrase, and soaked our muscles in the hot tub. There were 15 of us and the cabin and while it wasn’t quiet it was definitely a fun, relaxing, peaceful, and much needed trip with the girls. (I’ll have more photos on my flickr!)
