This woman I PA for just gave me tickets to the Ballet tonight at the Met Opera House. I can not believe that I get to go. I love ballet and now I get to go to one of the best ballets in the world in an amazing venue. The only thing that would make this better is going with a handsome man instead of a girlfriend. Either way its still super galm and I am all about the glam. I wish I had shoes with sparkles or something on them to wear tonight...

I had no idea when I woke up this morning that today would be so fantastic. Also I got another offer for a PA job on the side. Thats so sweet. Maybe I should save more money with these jobs instead of buying shoes...

As the Statue of Liberty shimmers in the distance like a ghostly sentinel in "On the Outs," its image of promise seems to belong to a country apart from the mean streets of Jersey City...

Thats the review of this movie/docudrama "on the outs" based in JC. I had no idea I lived in a blighted area. I think thats a little dramatic. How can a blighted area be full of brownstones, have a few very cool fine dinning resturants, hipsters crawling all over and have me living there? I don't buy that at all.

On another note, next week is vacation week! Woo hoo. I go to Detroit for business. I'll be staying in a delux W hotel- they have the "heavenly bed" which is heavenly. I bet the room is bigger than my entire apt. Then off to see momma ho and lilho. I can not wait :)

Yesterday I decided to take a hiatus from my shopping ban and go shopping. Apparently July is sale-o-ramma here and I couldn't resist. I restricted myself to buying things I actually need, like shoes and bags.

First for the shoes- $16.99 super duper wedges. The "it" shoe of the season. I decided to be adventerous and buy the melon colored ones.

Lesson learned: Sometimes going for the unexpected (color) pays off. These shoes are a hit.

Seondly the bags- now I don't really need a purse. Well I do (just ask lilho) but I am not a big purse person so I headed for the duffle bags. I need a gym bag. The Diane Von Furstenberg just is not cutting it for the gym. So I head over to the gym bag section. I look and don't see anything overly great. I saw a green old school adidas, but it just didn't work for me. So I head off to my secret corner. There is this one part of the sale section that is hidden where the tourists can't find it. Then I head for the bottom shelf. Many a great thing I have found on this very shelf. I begin to dig. All of the sudden I hear something. I look over and there is a huge roach. When I say huge I don't mean "I live in Buffalo and this is a big bug" I mean huge as in "I used to live with roaches and am not afraid of them" huge. This mofo was looking me right in the face, then crawled back up and into one of the bags on my fave shelf.

Lesson learned: Sometimes bargin hunting just is not worth it.

In any case I went back over to the normal section, left my secret place behind forever, and bought a no name duffel for $10. I'm probably better off this way. I mean I am tying to not be a label whore anymore right?!@

Holy Crap- Me and Mimi's night of insanity has landed us on Craigslist! Sweet!!!

So today a tall dark handsome man from my past called me and made my day. I just couldn't keep my excitement about that in and I had to share and I can't really tell anyone here about it because we have worked together previously. My new favorite age for a man is 37. I am now content for the next 24 hours at least.
