Urban Girl Almanac: Busy Body

Another week loaded with work activities. I like going out for fancy dinners for free…but I also like my apartment and food that isn’t saturated with cream and butter. Here’s what I learned this week:

• Pandora.com is so cool. I’m going to broke buying new music.
• Taxes. Yuck.
• I’m really good at making vegetarian chili.
• I got my wedding dress back from the cleaners, the save the date cards are printed and my guest list is nearly finalized. Stress is still fairly high.
• I’d like to go to Chez Spencer once a week.
• Kennedy’s Irish Pub and Curry House is fun.
• Carrots and bell peppers with hummus make for a pretty tasty light dinner.
• This piece of fiction from the last New Yorker is a must read for any blogger who occasionally worries about being a shill.
• My new DVF dress is awesome.
• Still loving Freaks and Geeks, I’m going to be so sad when I finish the last disc.
• Google image search led me to discover yet another cool blog: Rainy Days and Sundays. She took this week’s city photo.

A rainstorm has come to town, making our indoor plans for the weekend pretty convenient. We’re going to the gym and to a capoeira fundraiser tonight. On Saturday, I want to go to the de Young for breakfast and to see Bouquets to Art. That evening we have a bowling fundraiser. Saturday, I want to go to Macy’s to see those flowers.
