Loving It All, and Taking It In

So, on with my NYC/ boring school saga, haha.

Last week on Thursday, I woke up at 4 AM (yeah, you read that correctly) to go to the Bliss Sample Sale in the financial district. If you know Bliss, you know that they have luxorious spa products, and I've been in need of some spa treats cuz of the increased stress in my life. So I got there at 8:00 AM, and I was the first one in line to go into the warehouse. They had a lot of good products, and I was also lucky enough to get 2 of the softest cotton shirts in the world for $2.50 each. So basically that was my first real sample sale in New York, with the women rummaging through bins looking for nice colored lipsticks and eyeshadows.

On that same day, I decided that I would go to the park and eat lunch. In the elevator ride down to the lobby, three ladies from the 9th and 11th floors introduced themselves to me:) And as I was walking to the park, I found out that they were walking that way too, so we walked together. Then, we all ended up going to a cute restaurant called Curry In a Hurry, and we sat and chatted it up for 2 hours. By 2:00 that afternoon, I had made 3 good friends. See, anything can happen in New York!! So that was really exciting.

Friday at work was cute too, simply because I *think* that I'm quickly becoming an office favorite. I haven't had a chance to get to know everyone because I have work to do and I want to get it done, but being on the same level as everyone in the office (socially) is very important to me right now. I'm such a dork, but I want to make a lot of good friends here. And the people actually seem nice enough that I can do that. It really is like the workplace William and Mary, and that's probably why I adore it so much.

I feel like my outlook is changing cuz of work too. I'm around women who are in that stage of their lives where they are deciding whether or not to have kids, and now I'm becoming all kid oriented. There have been breakthroughs, guys! I like kids now! Ever since those kids sang at church, I've been on a oooh kids are cute frenzy!! Crazy, right? The girl who always said, "I hate kids" is now saying that she actually likes them! I'm even considering having little boys, gasp. Now that is major. All of you know how I was always saying how I hate boys and I'll never have gross, play in the mud with earthworms and crap little boys. But now I'm actually changing my views on them. I can't believe it!

I went to the spa on Saturday too!!! Oh, I needed it so badly. My therapist was like, don't come here again with all of those knots. I was in soo much pain before I saw her, and she had to resort to painful tactics to get the knots out, but I'm feeling so much better now.

Ooh, this weekend, Erin, me, and Lauren and her boyf, etc went to Hula Hanks. I was a Hula Hanks v, but no more! Hula Hanks is basically a tropically vacation wannabe place, which is actually quite appealing to me. Tropical drinks to your heart's content. Dancing too. So I had somewhat of a good time there. Erin and I then proceeded to go to King Falafel, and we were asked where we were from by the Syrian employee. Sigh, it's so sad, people think that I'm from some place exotic. All I can do is say my great grandmother was native american. Ooh, the other day I was mistaken for being middle eastern, so there's hope for me and the arabs, hahaha.

Church was really good, I did something dorky and introduced myself to an individual. He was sitting in the pew behind his family. Him and his dad seem to have a good relationship, it's so beautiful. I think I said hi to Pastor Candice too. It's so funny, she seems like so important to me, like the president's wife or something. And I don't know how much she realizes that the things she says to people immensely positively affect them. But she's great.

I went to the beach on Sunday too, to attempt to get a tan. Whoa. Shedding the high yellow of the winter, hahha.

Yesterday I was greeted with a "hey you". It was possibly the most sexiest greeting that I have ever heard in my entire life. It was like one of those 4play greetings that should be used for bedroom purposes only. Sigh, it was HOTT!. It's going to be added to my 4play list. Although, I guess that it's like number 2 on the list, because I only have one other activity on my 4play list.(trust me, it's not all that bad) But that's for another blog entry, hehe.


I'm studying and being a poo all today at the library. But for the rest of the week and next week I have hot lunch dates lined up in the city!
