NYC reunion

After more than a year, I finally see Grache again.

I was away for work when she moved to the US and this assignment has given us the opportunity to catch up....sort of.

Thing is, it was just as she said. When we saw each other, we picked up where we left off. Its like we just saw each other the other week. I guess because I still knows what was going on with her life, she knows whats going on with mine and we both know that we're heading off in a certain path...so we were never really disconnected I guess. Even though the email, phone call and chats are not as often as you would expect.

I suppose after 12 or 13 years of being friends, things just happen the way they're supposed to happen. And its easy to accept that when you have so much history.

It was great seein' ya grache....as for the other girls, I'm coming home soon :)

Oh and by the way, I should write about the whole weekend soon....when I can get around to it.

Is all that antagonism really called for?

Call me naïve, but from what I see, we all have the same goals here…so why does one have to make it so difficult for the other?

Day by day I am realizing that maybe I really am not cut out for this.
I thrive where people work together and a handful of hostility can be easily squashed with a little bitchy foot.

indulgences

every now and then we have to give ourselves permission to indulge...last saturday, I allowed myself to spend for brunch at one of New York's popular places...Tavern on the Green at Central Park. Yeah, it was the priciest brunch I've ever had...but how many people can actually say they've been there?!? Okay, a lot maybe...but still, I know a lot who probably wouldnt have spent for that. This photo is an authentic fremed souvenir.

after brunch, it was on to more cash out of the wallet. TKTS for Broadway. I was not in any mood that day to watch Broadway, but when I saw that they had tickets for Avenue Q available, I immediately lit up and recommended it to my companions. We got our tickets at 50% off and though they werent the best seats in the house, I was happy. I have been wanting to see this show since I saw the 2004 Tony Awards. my chance had come. and I have the programme to prove it too! (plus the memories of those scenes, songs and storylines....I will never look at a puppet the same way again!)

now that I've had my second Broadway experience...I'm craving for more....maybe next week? lets see....does it still count as an indulgence if it becomes a once a week thing?
