PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY SHOUTOUTS ABOUT AMAZING RACE...I HAVE NOT WATCHED IT, AND WILL NOT WATCH IT UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT. I HATE FINDING OUT THE ENDINGS OF SHOWS, ETC., (biggest pet peeve) SO PLEASE DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE A SHOUT OUT. thank you for your cooperation. =)

had dinner last night in the village. so nice to go back into manhattan. although i did miss amazing race, archie was able to tape it correctly, and i actually had a more interesting conversation than i've ever had in my 3 months out here. haha - not to say that these guys out here aren't interesting. they are...to a certain extent. but they don't really talk a lot about stuff that actually matters to me. my one recommendation to my friend last night: make sure you go shopping on canal st.! you can get dirt cheap, sometimes fake, stuff there...but it's always good for those little accessories that make the outfit. like hats, purses, and watches. lets not underestimate the importance of these little things. they really do complete the outfit. and if you want the brand name but don't want to spend the brand name buckaroos, then canal street will be your fav street in manhattan. i know that it's my fav. =)

apparantly it's the client xmas party today. starts at 3PM and ends around 7 or 8PM. it's in the building which is nice, but i guess there's a lot of food and drinky drinkies to go around. i wasn't planning on going, but i guess i might have to. i should at least make an appearance. but i'm sure, since the party is early, it'll make the day go by much faster. =)

i started thinking about actually moving to this area sometime and just live. i know it's only in my dreams now, esp with the closing of the condo, but a girl can dream, can't she?? maybe i'd get sick of all the traffic, etc, but it is damn nice to not have the stress of driving anywhere...i really do enjoy that part. maybe i'll start using public transportation a lot more in chicago. i really need to go exploring more...and since one of my coworkers gave me his L ticket, now i can get on the L for free! hahaha

and yes, i am bored again at work. nothing to do...
