Today was a day from hell. Straight from the fire-burning pit down below. I woke up around 2:30 this morning couldn't go back to sleep for the life of me. I flipped and flopped around until I gave up and just surfed the web and listened to music until my alarm went off at 7. Anyone who knows me even remotely knows that when I don't get enough sleep, I can be a real piece of work (cranky, emotional, bitchy, etc). In my defense, I warn them :)
So barely make it downstairs for breakfast and I am like a zombie. I literally can't tell you what really happened except for a few key points:
1. Damara was on Vogue.com
2. Vogue Courtney moved out :(
3. I got a potential 4th of July Hamptons invite (crucial to living in NYC)
4. I dropped my pineapple all over my shirt and on Ashleigh's face (sorry!)
After breakfast, Ashleigh, Sarah, and I walked to work together and of course I got there 10 minutes late but no one cared. It was already destined to be a crappy day at work because of the 7 straight hours of phone calls I had to make, but then Thomas, the sales director, gave me over 80 prints to photocopy and catalog for someone to pick one pattern for a pair of pants. That job took me 5 hours by itself. Let's just pile on the fact that I was grumpy and tired. By the time lunch rolled around I ran as fast as I could to Starbucks and sucked down my Grande Iced Coffee w/ Vanilla and Skim Milk. Who knew I would start drinking coffee?! It gave me a slight boost but I crashed around 3pm and was so frustrated/tired that I just wanted to cry and go home for a nap, but I made it to 4pm! VICTORY!
Tonight was the regular dinner crowd and pure relaxation. NYC can make a person crazy! I am definitely worried about obtaining a full-time job and living successfully in this city. Praying to God that I can just go with the flow :)

So many things to think about...
Today was kind of a reflective day of sorts. I realized I have a lot to think about in the next few months, especially concerning housing, jobs, etc. and it is slightly stressful. In fact, my stress has heightened since moving to NYC and I need to find some time for peace in my days.
Ideas:
1.yoga
2.church
3.gym
All of these things are important parts of my life that have helped me reign in on the hustle-and-bustle of the city, I just need to implement them on a daily basis now. Meg, Ashleigh, and i ventured up 5th Ave. to catch a peak of the Gay Pride Parade. A sight to behold! Then we spent the latter portion of the afternoon tanning in the park. It is so easy to mentally "check out" in Sheep's Meadow where we were hanging out. It is so beautiful and full of life.
Afterwards, we went to our respective churches and met back at the Webster on the rooftop to wind up our evening, per usual :) My church is doing a city outreach this week and the message just made me aware of the fact that my heart isn't always positioned towards seeing things the way God sees them. Everyone needs a little more compassion.
My mom comes back from Africa tomorrow! So excited because I miss her a lot and my poor dad is so lonely without his partner-in-crime lol. Also, my heart goes out to all of my friends that are struggling with everything (family, jobs, friends, etc.). I am sure that everything will work out for the greater good in the end. Love you all!

Here comes the end of July
My gosh, time flies. July 12th is my 2 month anniversary of moving to the city and I don't want to leave yet! I was so afraid that this was going to turn out just like last spring when I was at MC, but so far, so good :)
It's been four days since my last post and not much has happened. I went to the Keith Lissner Trunk Show and that was so much fun!
The rest of the workweek was pretty much a washout. I took a Summer Friday because working for free is not ideal lol and spent my free time napping, shopping, eating, etc. Pinkberry was giving away free cups of their new flavors (coconut and passion fruit) for summer so the girls and I went. The line wasn't too long and the passion fruit was delish!
Saturday we went to Central Park and tried to wait in line for Shakespeare in the Park tickets. Twelfth Night is on stage and Anne Hathaway has a small role. Alas, the line was too long and people had gotten there at 4 am when we were just rolling in at 8:30. Ha, what a joke. We spent the afternoon in the park, rode the Carousel, saw Turtle Pond, visited a castle/fortress and then I headed on my way to a job interview for babysitting. Surprisingly this family was cuckoo for cocoa puffs like every other family in the city.
At 7pm I had a real babysitting gig and got home around 11ish where the nightly rooftop routine commenced with Meg. This city is so beautiful and every time I am on the roof, I just love it more and more. The sky was clear and you could see the stars, it was quiet, and super peaceful.

Being a socialite is so tough....
Today I just wasn't going to win. As I am walking to work with Ashleigh, I suddenly realize that my purse seems really light. I stopped, dropped it on the ground, and took everything out in the middle of the sidewalk. NO WALLET. Mind you, this was at 8:30 am so I looked like a freak with everything on the ground. It sucked even more that I was only a block away from work and had to turn right back around and spend the morning at the bank freezing accounts, consolidating funds, etc.
Around 12:30 pm I finally got everything straightened out and headed back to work. I was secretly hoping it would take longer at the bank so I could skip work and just go to my evening event, but of course not. I was completely unproductive and played computer games for the 2 hrs that I stayed.
The only glimmer of hope in the day was the trunk show/cocktail party at The Green Room NYC. I was really excited and ran from work to get there early and help out. I met Keith Lissner of The Fashion Show, Devorah Rose of Social Life magazine, Derek of Derek Loves Shopping, and some other random people. Made a lot of contacts, schmoozed, took pictures! It was a good time and I thoroughly enjoyed myself :)

That's What I Love About Sundays...
I am almost convinced that Sunday is better than Friday. I think "Sunday" and automatically a calm washes over me. Today was no different. Brunch at Jane was fantastic, despite some directional challenges on my part. Jamie, Ashleigh, and I brunched it up in style and stuffed our faces sufficiently. It was cool because we all ordered different things and got different breakfast cocktails. Of course I got a mimosa :)
Brunch lasted from 12:30-3pm and then we trekked back to the Webster and relaxed. I took a teaser nap, but it was ok because I hung out with one of my recent friends and we just talked forever. That time was much needed :) Becca, Ashleigh, and I went to the night church service and the sermon was eerily applicable to our lives at that point. Right place at the right time. Service was a tad long (2 hrs! so I took that as an opportunity to boy hunt in church. Awful. I know lol) but the Gallery Church family is so welcoming and I am so blessed to have found them. Dear Gallery Church, I choose you!
I have no idea what to expect from work this week but the highlight is going to be an awesome event I am going to Wednesday at the Green Room. It's a private Keith Lissner collection viewing with a cocktail party to follow. Ivanka Trump is supposed to come, but is it sad that I can't wait to meet Alex from the Real Housewives more?

Oh.My.Goodness. It has been raining here in the city for like the past week! Absolutely ridiculous that we are claiming this crap as "summer". Just had to get that out.
My last post was Thursday and other than the usual (work, eat, sleep, etc.) it's been a pretty uneventful few days. I absolutely cannot stand working on Fridays so I went in and lied about having a doctor's appointment so I could leave at 1pm instead of 4pm. Yes, I know. I am ballsy.
Jetted out of the office and went back to the Webster before venturing to Century 21. Century 21 is like TJ Maxx and Marshalls threw up into one huge, obnoxious, department store. Add a few hundred unaware/uneducated shoppers and it is a NIGHTMARE. I went once last weekend and thought I would unleash my wrath on the next person that rolled their cart over my foot. Take a Xanax (I don't recommend medication, but possibly some deep breathing could work?) I found some great things though, and will continue to go back, no matter how many anxiety issues that store gives me :)
Friday night was super low-key. Some of the girls went to the Intrepid to watch a free showing of Top Gun and the rest of us stayed at good ol' Webby and bonded over alcove time (tears, laughing, dancing, etc.) Saturday was just a flop of a day. Intermittent rain throughout, so we saw a matinee of The Hangover. I LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND WAS IN STITCHES IT WAS SO FUNNY. Get this, matinee is Friday-Sunday for any movie before noon and it costs $6. Regularly priced tickets are $12. Dumb. Enough said. For anyone that knows me well enough, I took a nap of course, then lounged around until I had to babysit at 7pm. The weekend trains are wacky so it took forever to get to the UWS. Rant #2: I don't enjoy relying on public transportation when I have the potential to be late. And I hate being late.
I am so excited for Sunday. It is one of the best days of the week besides Friday because it relaxes, refocuses, and refreshes before you have to get back to work on Monday. I love my routine of breakfast, church, brunch/lunch, nap, vegging.

It's been a few days since my last post, but nothing has really happened that was exciting enough to blog about. Last night the girls and I went out to Mercury Bar on 46th and 9th for Hump Day Happy Hour. It was a lot of fun and the first "real" time that we had gone out as a group. The music was just right (late 90s/early 2000s) and so were the drink specials. One of the bartenders, Johnathan, was so good looking, but I didn't have enough liquid courage to go start a conversation. To top it off, the Hypnotiq promoters were there and we got free drinks, t shirts, lip gloss, and some bangin' glow necklaces that made us look ridiculous :)
After the bar, some girls went out for a bit longer, but I knew myself well enough to go home or else I wouldn't be typing this post here at my work desk haha. All in all, great Wednesday and now the weekend is almost here. Highlight = Sunday brunch @ Jane!!!
Side Note: I got home and my door was wide open. How this happened idk, but my umbrella was gone. Not my Mac Book, but my $9 umbrella. Dang it, it's raining today and I needed that.

Fierce and Fabulous Weekend :)
I had such a great weekend! Friday night was the ValSecret party at the Trump World Bar and it was so swanky. It was a good excuse for pretty people to get together, drink, and dance all night. SO MUCH FUN and now I am all over guestofaguest.com.
Saturday was a big mishmash of awesomeness (while being slightly hungover). First we went to a flea market that was located in a converted parking garage. We had gone to another one earlier in the month closer to The Webster, but this one was more vintage-y.
I really wanted an owl necklace last time but the lady wouldn't sell it to me for $18 (she just had to have $20!) so Jamie, with her eagle eyes, spotted this bangin' owl necklace. It is gold with purple glass eyes and will pretty much match my whole wardrobe. Exciting :) We also went to this obscure coffee shop with great advertising. This poster said at the top, "What's your preference?" and of course it is talking about coffee, but it could also apply to men. To prove a point, there was a buff guy printed on the corner.
Next was the BBQ Block Party in Washington Square Park. Different BBQ places compete every year and it was so refreshing to have real "southern bbq". Tasty.
Afterwards, we played around at FIT on their steel sculpture and took ridiculously juvenile photos that are super cute and went for cupcakes at the famed Billy's Bakery (Martha says they have the best vanilla cake and I agree). I was spent and took a nap while the others explored more.
Sunday was like a Sunday should be, easy and relaxing. Jamie and I went to this church called Gallery and I absolutely loved it. I will definitely be going back. Then I got to take part in a Manhattan tradition, BRUNCH! I met Alex at this cute restaurant called Jane in NoHo. I had biscuit, grits, scrambled eggs, and chicken sausage, plus a complimentary Mimosa. That sealed the deal. Of course a nap followed, then met up with the girls for Molly's going away dinner. Sad to see her go, but jealous because she is off to New Zealand, the lucky duck. It was a good meal with good people :)

TGIF!
Work was pretty normal today. I ID'd sample garments, shipped stuff all over, and took pictures for the website. You know what I didn't do though?! Surf the internet. The French intern thought it would be a good idea to go to her foreign websites on my computer and now it has viruses. I was able to check my email though and received and random Facebook friend request.
This girl named Valeria of ValSecrets.com is hosting a party tonight at the Trump Towers and I'm going, but I have never met her. Sarah, PR girl at The Green Room, invited me along so I confirmed on Facebook. The next day I get a friend request from Valeria. I am really looking forward to tonight. We are going to let loose, dance, and just not have a care in the world about our work weeks left behind.
More to come... Hopefully pics :)

Today was the longest.day.ever.... 9-2 went by pretty fast, but the last 2 hours seemed to creep by. My supervisor up and went to CA for the weekend without telling me so I was at the service of Thomas, Director of Sales. Love the guy, but I was helping him organize his messy office all while he was singing Top 40s off key. He was having boyfriend drama again today and it showed LOL.
Totally skipped out on the Ed2010 party yesterday, but my friend won the $1000 trust fund! So proud of him. Everyone is doing some really cool stuff lately: Becca did a food photo shoot today, Jamie's department bought her a Coach bag, etc. I have started putting some feelers out for volunteer work and jobs. I HAVE to be in PR. It's pretty much what I'm cut out to do because I'm social. One step at a time.
Excited because I'm babysitting Saturday night. The little girl is adorable :) This weekend is going to be good. I can feel it and now I am off to get my yoga on with Jamie. NAMASTE.

Yesterday was the longest day ever. I had some serious "I need a nap" moments annnnd my babysitting gig cancelled, so I'm ticked. I was actually looking forward to it.
Anyways, today at work has been busy. I've been picking out fabrics for upcoming seasons and taking pictures for the website. Tonight there is a Welcome to NYC intern party from Ed2010. I am soooo going :)

Work update: So today the office has been super quiet because there are only 3 of us in this afternoon. I thought I was going to be given some busy work to tide me over, but no... I got a special assignment.
My boss, the sales director, is having me write his Match.com profile to find his next boy-toy! I know I am knowledgeable on the subject of dating, but since when did I become an expert?! Haha I should start charging for my services :)

Not that I sleep well anyway, but the thunder and lightning last night was terrible. I woke up around 2:30 this morning to an illuminated room and promptly pulled the covers up to my nose. Usually I am not afraid of lightning but this was intense; as if it was reaching through my window.
Thanks to the crappy weather, I didn't sleep and now look like death that has been rained on haha. The French intern will be sure to remind me of that when she innocently says, "You are sick, no? You don't look well." But she doesn't really know any better. Positive note: I got new lemon yellow rain boots! They're super cute and as I was walking to work, I realized I could actually walk right through all the puddles instead of dodge them. FUNNN :)
Today should be pretty normal. Work until 4, hair salon at 4:30, dinner, etc. Keep you posted!

The Tony Awards
So today was super fun! Woke up slightly hungover, but it was evidence of a great night on the rooftop. Molly, Ashleigh, Jamie, and I went to Bloomingdale's to scout out our next big purchases. I found one too many things that I wanted but the Foley & Corinna bag tops the list (it functions as a tote and a satchel).
After that excursion we all went to chill for a bit and reconvened at 4 to go see the celebrities walk the red carpet for the Tony Awards.
I didn't get too many fabulous pictures but here is the list of who I saw:
Amy Poehler
Jilly & Bobby Zarin
Kevin Spacey
Neil Patrick Harris
Colin Hanks
Dolly Parton
John Stamos (Uncle Jesse from Full House)
Jane Fonda
Will Ferrell
Anne Hathaway
Chandra Wilson (Dr. Bailey on Grey's)
Constantine Maroulis (Am. Idol wash-up)
Bret Michaels (VH1 Rock of Love)
Allison Janney
Piper Perabo
Marcia Gay Hardin
Lauren Graham (Loralie on Gilmore Girls)
Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote)
Rod Stewart
James Gandolfini (Tony on the Sopranos)

This is just a sampling of pictures, but there are more on Facebook. I also got interviewed by some person with a camera because I asked him to take my picture. I meant for him to use my camera but he put his huge video camera in my face and started asking me all of these questions like: "What did you think of the red carpet?", "Who were you looking forward to the most?", etc. That was unexpected but fun!
Well I had a little too much fun last night on the roof :) Woke up feeling/looking like complete ca ca.
We have plans to go to church and then at 4, go to Radio City Music Hall and crash the Tony's. Hopefully we will get some awesome pics of the red carpet entrances! Other than that, it's going to be one of those regular Sundays (laundry, naps, lunch, etc.)
Really looking forward to this week though. Not necessarily work, but is it sad that I can't wait to babysit on Wednesday night?!?

Night festivities on the roof. This should be fun so I am off to the liquor store to get my favorite stuff...MARGARITAS! My mom thinks I'm becoming a lush lol.
Side Note: met this cute German guy today and chatted him up in broken Deutsch, the nails look great, and I WILL make it to church in the morning :)

Woke up this morning and surprisingly didn't have a headache from my monster bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade. That stuff is so gross, but I finished it last night in the alcove with everyone. I really enjoy just getting our own beverages, meeting up, and having a laid-back evening. So much less stressful than actually going out.
I had a blast working the H&M/Cookie casting! I was helping with arts and crafts where the kids made button jewelry. They were all so adorable and I can't wait to see who wins. The Special Events Coordinator from Cookie and I talked a bit before and after the gig and she gave me her business card. The resume is going to be sent ASAP because working for Cookie would be a dream.
Got back and took a nap (duh) while the other girls explored different neighborhoods of Manhattan. I was just super tired, but I need to get up and do something. Jamie is back so we are going shopping and getting our nails done :)
More later....

Dinner is always a surprise at The Webster. Last night was no different with baby octopus on the salad bar. "Seafood Salad"... YUCK.
Woke up around 6:45 and thought, "What a great day to roll back over and skip work!". It's a drizzly day in the city and perfect for staying in, but alas, I did not and got ready for Casual Friday. I might pull out the sick card later in the afternoon though :)
This weekend should be interesting. The girls and I have planned to go to APT in the Meatpacking District for a little night out on the town tonight. Tomorrow morning I am so excited because I will be working a casting call for H&M/Cookie Magazine. They are in search of 2 adorable children for an H&M ad in Cookie, and I LOVE Cookie! Schmoozing to ensue (you know I do it so well!)

This just in...
"Good Morning, Jonden!"I am now the only intern because they told the other one that she "wasn't needed" for awhile. Aghhh so much more for me to do now! Here is my "office":
Update: I had to man-handle mannequins at the office for a website photo shoot. If you could've seen it, it was awkward :) Now I am busy doing absolutley nothing and that is just fine with me!
3 weeks in...
So I've been in NYC for about three weeks now and have been the most awful blogger ever (I haven't haha).
Work is going really well. It's slightly repetitive but I am getting offered a part-time postion after my internship ends mid-July. They have me doing all kinds of things: mass mailers for market week, taking pics for the website, expanding our retailer database, etc. Sounds important right?!
I love this city; smog, pigeon poop, and all. It's so great and it's even better with the friends I've made so far. We are a fun group of strikingly different people and it's awesome because everyone brings something to the table.
Only bummer this week is that everyone has visitors and I do not :( I just need to get away for a weekend and then I will be ready to come back with a vengance. I will stop here, as I am at work, but there is so much I want to write. So much I want to write but I can't. Ask me and I will tell you everything :)

I love this city; smog, pigeon poop, and all. It's so great and it's even better with the friends I've made so far. We are a fun group of strikingly different people and it's awesome because everyone brings something to the table.
Only bummer this week is that everyone has visitors and I do not :( I just need to get away for a weekend and then I will be ready to come back with a vengance.
