Urban Girl Almanac: Bright Lights, Big City

Urban Girl Almanac: Bright Lights, Big City

This has been one crazy week! With a bunch of co-workers in town from across the country, Rob and I have been living it up. It’s been fun, but I’d be glad to have a quiet evening at home in my PJs tonight.

  • In the last four days, I’ve eaten in 9 restaurants. Including gourmet breakfast, Ethiopian, Japanese, Mexican and neuvo-Southern.
  • In the last five days, I’ve worn a new piece of clothing each day. Hooray for last weekend’s shopping spree.
  • Rock climbing, following by a huge dinner, an it’s-it and a shot of tequila is a recipe for a really good night of sleep.
  • I love the Fit! It’s fun having a car with two extra seats. You get to drive people around the city!
  • I’m really good at mediating big meetings. Should consider job as union negotiator.
  • Piano man upstairs got rid of his two cats and it is already immensely more quiet.
  • Buy my car.
  • Pretty much anything you can buy is bad for the environment. I guess vintage is the best way to go.
  • The goat cheese filled squash blossoms and the butterscotch/chocolate pot de creme (pudding) at Townhall are really good, but I think the restaurant is a little overrated.
  • Rob is wonderful!!

Our six year anniversary was last night and we’ll be officially celebrating tomorrow. The plan was to go out for a fancy dinner, but we’re pretty much tired of those after this week. Instead, we’re going to watch Annie Hall in Union Square with a picnic.

    Inspired by you. I went shopping too and got a few new things. I still hate all my basics, but It’s an improvement. 🙂

    happy anniversary!

    I’ve now had the Honda Fit on the brain since reading about your getting one.

    What color did you get?

    We got silver. Honestly, we love it! Why would anyone get a bigger car, when a tiny Fit is just right?
