How Many Friends Can You Fit Into A New York Apartment?!

6!!  Tried, tested and true!  Last week the rooms and I were treated to 4 Oklahoma/Texas visitors and it was lovely...crowded but lovely!  Visitor busy season started 3 weeks ago when my parents came to visit, followed shortly by Kelley's parents, and on the heels of their visit came my little bro Jacob and 3 OU friends.  The last of the visitors left on Sunday and our apartment has seemed abnormally quiet and kind of like a ghost town these last few days.   

I have to say I really get the opportunity to take advantage of the city when I have visitors in town.  A few highlights from the past week:


I accompanied little J to 1 of the 4 Broadway shows he saw in his 4 day trip to New York.  

"Catch Me If You Can" a cute new musical starring an equally cute Aaron Tveit/Trip Van Der Bilt (you know Nate's cousin in Gossip Girl).

I went out with the girls in the Financial District on St. Patrick's Day

Borrowed this Guinness from the rooms for photo purposes

Took Friday off work for a little grown up Spring Break of my own and hung out with baby bro bro all day.  I lucked out and chose the best day New York City has seen this year.  The temperature was in the mid-70's and the sun was out all day.  I was loving it!  I think I wore Jacob out but he can now say he walked ALL around this city, uptown/downtown/midtown.

I had so much fun with everyone and can't wait for more visitors in April!

Hibernation

OH My Gosh Wow!  Where have I been?  It's been so long since I last blogged that I had a difficult time even remembering my Blogspot password.  I think I'll just say that my blog has been in winter hibernation.  Today however we had the first glimpse of spring in NYC with temperatures tipping a little over 50 degrees and a warm sun on top of that and I am excited!  I even went for a run in Central Park and it was great!  I very well intend on adding C.P. runs to my routine now that the lonnnnnnnnng winter season in New York might be wrapping up.  Quick story: a few weeks ago I was feeling advantageous and saw that the temperatures were going to be above freezing so I decided I'd like to go for a run in Central Park but about 5 minutes into my run it started snowing...that run in the park quickly turned into a run home.  


So let me tell you what I have been up to during my winter hibernation (and since my last post):


1) I'm sure you have all figured out what I was for Halloween via Facebook but in case anyone is still wondering...I was a geisha.  See below picture:

2)  I got a new job!  I'm on the account team for an advertising agency in the city and its been a great experience so far and I'm really enjoying it!


3) I had wine and conversed with Penn Badgley for about 3 hours.  It was my favorite NYC night so far and Kristen, Kelley, and I are still hoping we run into him again and can pick up where we left off that wonderful Saturday night in November :)

4)  I went home for Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years and loved seeing my family and friends again!  I miss them all a lot!

5) I celebrated my first birthday without my twin.  Definitely a change and a little more difficult than I expected.  I was already a little debbie downer about the whole day and had a panicky feeling about getting old but I did celebrate the next day with friends and dinner at a true SATC spot Il Cantinori

Now that spring is on the horizon and I already have lots of exciting things planned including a visit from my parents last weekend, Kelley's this weekend, little baby bro Jacob on Tuesday, several college friends on Wednesday, a trip to Washington D.C. for the cherry blossom festival, and more visitors in April, I hope to have updates a little more regularly!
