So, I've been back from vacation for a couple of days. I feel relaxed, rested, and finally my sunburn has gone away! My cousin's wedding was beautiful, and hopefully I can post some pictures up here of my trip. My camera kind of pooped out on my after the first day, but my cousin sent me hers with my parents who arrived two days later.
I'm looking forward to this weekend coming up- other than the extra day off, I will be going to yet another wedding, which is ultimately going to be a high school class reunion. It should be a lot of fun to see everyone again, mainly peeps that I haven't seen since senior year.
Anyway, I'm watching the season finale of The Office at work, and I'm trying my best not to laugh out loud. I think this has been the best episode of the season...OMG! I just got the point where they're in the supermarket. However, this NBC player really does suck and is taking too much time to load.

So, I made this picture up there for my blog. I'm pretty proud of it, though it kind of denotes that this is some sort of food blog. But yeah...maybe it will evolve to one. Those cupcakes get me hungry, so I try not to look at them too much. I'm very proud of the little font job I did in the corner there...you like it? I know you do.
Carin and I are talking about starting a blog, since all day at work we IM each other with this cute dress we saw at shopbop or anthropologie, or this neato designed so and such; this and that. We couldn't figure out if we wanted to concentrate on food, fashion, stuff we do, art, design, or whatever, so we decided to do a theme of sorts. It will be called A/The Perfect Day, and we'll basically just discuss things that we should have/do/eat/wear/etc that would make it a wonderful day. All encompassing and hopefully a good excuse to take pictures and link to otherwise frivolous things. It's good to be a little frivolous, I think.
As in other news, I've decided that I do want to go to grad school, so I'm looking to take the GRE's in fall. I'm signing up for an online course this summer (I will need it for math), and study. Megha has decided (at press time, hehe) that she will be taking her GMATs, so we're going to try to get a study weekend or two over the summer and be huge nerds about it. Oh so reminiscent of those days at the College Ave student center, eating fries from Wendy's and studying for Economics and Political theory. Funtimes!
i'm also 25 now. I had a great, great, great birthday outing with friends in Manhattan. A group of us went out to dinner at Le Souk for family style Moroccan dishes and belly dancers (female and male alike). Afterwards, the dancing and drinks were on at Mannahatta lounge on Bowery. I bought bottle service and danced in my 3 inch purple satin Nina pumps (with bows and peeptoe!) until 4 in the morning. I was very proud of myself for doing that. I'm very grateful to my friends who made it out for either event; especially those who I hadn't seen in ages or hadn't partied with in ages.
On my actual birthday, Nick brought me to L'Ecole (I made the reservations, though. Last year's birthday dinner was impromptu, though I had sent him a list of 5 restaurants I wanted to eat at, hmpf) for a wonderful 5 course prix fixe menu. I had foie gras for the first time, and I wasn't fond of it- it was in pate form. However, the food and atmosphere was superb, and I also got to visit the Muji store in Soho, which I had wanted to go to for some time. Frivolous items were purchased. I bought one of those 6 colored pens-those fat barrelled pens with rainbow colors, that you constantly clicked to change the colors. Perfect for writing notes to your friends. Those pens were the shit in elementary school.
Twenty-five doesn't seem any different, only now I can rent a car. Though, I don't know when I'll need to do that anytime soon. Perhaps, on a whim I will rent a luxury car and pretend I'm a baller.
Vacation is in less than a week, and I cannot wait. Work is getting to me, and I think this past week has been the worst in a while. Ugh. Need.Masters.Now.
