One month left

Normally I only work mon-weds as you all know but this week I worked tues-thurs.  Mainly because the other intern is in spain with her family!  So I gladly said that I would take her days but that was before my sister planned to come up.  Luckily they were totally fine with me taking off monday because we had such a great day in the city.  

I was going to be in the office today but because of the holiday weekend, they decided to close the office.  Sweet!  So I'm here in Morristown-laying in bed because I just woke up deciding what I want to do this weekend.

I've had some pretty great last 3 fourth of july's with my friends so this year will be interesting.  Last year I was with Rebecca in Birmingham where we went and watched the fireworks in downtown Homewood and the two years prior I was working at Sun Valley doing cooler checks and taking up everyone's alcohol.  I don't know if Meredith and Kiley read this but they can understand what I mean when I say that working at SV for 4th of July is the craziest most fun day all summer!  

Work has been fun the last 3 days...i've started running a lot of errands since they trust me not to get lost in the city.  So i've gone up to Park Av, down to SoHo, down the street in Chelsea and much more.  Yesterday there was an internet monster that took out my computer AND the laptop they gave me--all the while everyone elses internet was fine!  So other than running errands there wasn't much I could get accomplished.  

Tuesday after work I went and met Colleen and my aunt down in the West Village neighborhood for dinner.  They had been roaming around for a few hours before I came and had come across a realestate office that had apartments that were absolutely perfect for me!  Yea yea yea, I know it's way too early to start looking but I want to SO bad!!  

Tuesday was supposed to be Colleens last night but after sitting in the Newark airport for 8 hours and not being able to make any flights to Atlanta, she came back Wednesday night and tried again yesterday.  Thankfully after getting to the airport at 5am she finally got a flight at 1130.  Flying standby isn't always a great deal. 

I want to thank all of you who have called/texted/messaged me about my Nana.  I truly have the best friends in the world.  It really means so much to me, so thank you.  

I will be leaving for North Carolina on Thursday for her memorial on Friday.  I'm flying back on the following wednesday because the entire family is spending time together at my uncles beach house.  I would also like to thank Maya and Christina for allowing me to miss work to spend time with family that I don't get to see often.  

I hope everyone has a fun weekend!!  Don't do anything stupid with fireworks please... :)
