The end of the summer has been ABSOLUTELY INSANE!
I went to the burgh for the 4th and just went to dinner and fireworks with the boy and then the day after we saw Fitz and the Tantrums at Stage AE. They were AMAZING! One of the best concerts I've been to in a long time, going again in November when they're in NYC!
THEN. Two weeks later, my bestie from elementary school came for a week and we did NYC touristy things. We spent a day in Central Park, went to Patsy's for pizza, WON THE ALADDIN LOTTERY, and just walked around the city! We also took one of those double decker your buses at night, which was beautiful. The whole week was soooo much fun.
Then, bestie left in the am and boyfran arrived that night. We didn't do ANYTHING, but it was still perfect to see him.
THEN, the next weekend my college bestie came to visit for the weekend! We also spent time in the park, played in Soho, where we marveled in the Soho Tiffany, finished the day with a trip to Laduree Soho! We wanted to rush Cinderella, but the weather was questionable, so we hung out in NJ and went to the mall.
After that, my grandparents came up for a while! We just hung out, went to the mall in NJ, went to the city for a little bit - another trip to Patsy's, a trip to Dylan's and a trip to Sprinkles (all priorities). We went to the movies (saw Get On Up), they helped finish some stuff around my apartment, and we just had a lot of fun!
I'm always so sad when they leave, but no time because my mommy was coming two days after they left!! My mommy's visit was just what I needed after all this excitement. We spent a whole day in the park, had lunch at Snack EOS in Hell's Kitchen, and then spent most of the rest of her trip in my apartment, watching TV and being goofy. It was absolutely perfect and everything I could've asked for. My favorite times with my mom are when we're together being silly. We joke that the creators of Gilmore Girls spied on us and ripped off our lives, if that gives you an idea of how close we are. We also went into the original Tiffany and St. Patrick's which was lovely!
She left and the boy came up for a day visit (he just moved closer and got a new car).
Because he was a little blue about moving and didn't really have time to settle in, I went up the following weekend to help him unpack and settle in.
AND THEN, the weekend after that my Big got married! So I went back to the burgh to see her nuptials. It was so exciting and she looked so lovely. I got to see many sisters (and sweethearts) I haven't seen in over a year! I took my friend Mike, because my BF wasn't sure he'd be able to make it, but he ended up surprising me!
The first weekend I've been home alone in my apartment since right after the 4th.
I've cooked. I've started working out again. I'm calm. I'm almost done with Breaking Bad! And now I can resume regular blogging. And now it's fall.
Crazy, right??
