This is how I walked around New York the entire time I was there - head up, mouth open, "'gaw dawg, that's a big buildin'". I got mugged every day.
Nah, not really. I got off the plane, put on my game face, surpressed the stupid trait I've learned living in Tiny Town USA to say hello to everyone I encounter, and hadd my first solo cab ride into the city. It was fabulous from the second I walked out of the airport. I felt like I was supposed to be there from the minute I got there, and I WANT TO GO BACK. The energy, the sounds, the opportunity - everything was fabulous and it's hard to stop fixating on it. There's more photos on Flickr, so click away. I'm going to go find a job and apartment on the web machine...Look out N'Yawk, here I come! (Oh, don't worry - I'm bringing Rob along!)

not bad for government work
once again I'm here in this basement office waiting out the last 15 minutes of my day, and I can't help but feel disappointed in the way I'm spending Clarke County's tax dollars. luckily, I have plenty to keep me distracted from this creepy "worldcom" vibe I'm getting. while I stuff some free pens in my bag, let's enumerate my current happy distractions.....
1. What a WONDERFUL time I had a Tony & Gia's on saturday night. I'll tell you my social anxiety was kicked way up on the way there, but it all went away once I got there. Right after I spilled cole slaw juice on my thigh and dumped some beer down my leg. After that, it was awesome. So nice to discover new friends, and rediscover some old ones!
2. Pillows. Not the dirty kind, but the wedding kind. I've offered to make a couple of ring pillows for my boss's wedding, and I get to do what I want. We went out and got some pretty $25 a yard fabric for me to play with, and today I'm going to get cording and ribbon. Look out sewing machine, here I come! I'll post photos once I get started.
3. NEW YORK, baby! Oh my god, I have not seen my beautiful, most talented, make-me-pee funny friend Sarah in a year, and I finally get to have her within squeezing reach this friday. We are gonna wreck that town.
4. Swimming. It is too got-dammed pretty out today to not spend at least 2 hours at Legion Pool swimming and reading. It rains so much lately that it would really be unhealthy of me not to take advantage of all this Vitamin D (that's the right one, right? Wait, maybe D is milk and A is sun....whatever, I just don't want rickets.)
Hey Blogspotters, has anyone tried out this new photo link option they have? Does this mean the end of Flickr?

Me love you long time
Yay, happy anniversary to us! Three years, and it's been great. Not easy to say the least, but worth every damn minute of it. Oh my man, I love him so.
Look what I got!
Isn't it pretty? My husband loves me and I've got shiny rocks and I feel special. If you can't see it very well in the photo, don't worry because I'll show it to you when I see you. A bunch of times.
