Week One In The Real-World

Sorry I've been so bad at regaling you with tales about my probably-not-as-interesting-as-I-think-it-is life. Life has been busy with last week in the 1000 Islands and this week starting my job, but I'll try to be better at writing. For you. (And for me because this blog is pretty much my replacement journal). As for some stuff from this week, since I know you're all about hearing this stuff (...or not), here we go!

1. Monday I didn't really do much besides pick out a work outfit and catch up on TV I missed last week (Hello Bachelorette/PLL/Degrassi!), but it was nice to relax at home after a week away.

2. Tuesday I started work in NYC! This pretty much sums up Day 1.

3. I finally finished The Goldfinch. Oh the time I have on train commutes.

4. I also started #GirlBoss. Liking it so far. It's also appropriate given my recent transition.

5. Wednesday, Le Père and I met up after our city jobs and went to The Cornell Club for dinner before returning to the 914. It turns out my college drinking tolerance (which was super low) got even lower... if that's even possible. One whiskey sour and I was past tipsy. Yup. It sure was tasty though. The dinner was too. It was prix fixe an appetizer, entree, dessert, and a glass of wine for $22.00!

6. I've started to drink coffee at work. I seriously swore this would never happen. I should've learned from five year old me who swore she would never be able to eat onions, peppers, olives, cucumbers, do my hair without the help of my mom, etc. and now do those all the time. I should probably quit and stick with tea though.

7. I made pickled carrots.

8. I bought this cute little numero in black for 80% off! (I'm starting to "curate" stylish (but modest/professional looking) work pieces).

9. Yesterday, as I walked by Rockefeller Plaza as I usually do (since it's cool and where the Today Show is), I caught a few minutes of Jason Mraz's concert as I walked down 49th. Whoa!

10. I don't really have plans for the weekend, but last night I met up with Amie D and Amie AL for froyo. We sat outside for 3+ hours just chatting until the town basically shut down. Not too much else going on, but it will be good to relax. On that note, hoping you all have lovely weekends. xo

*I'll try to take some more pics in the future.... Also I'd love a print of the image above... Perhaps I'll buy one when I start decorating an apartment.
