Thursday's are usually pretty slow, but with the trip to the Real Simple shop and taking things slow, I was able to stretch my work out to fill the day. Ashley had an interview at Time today she came by my "office" at 5 and I got to show her around, she got to see what I do and I took her upstairs to our art department where another NYU alum works that we both know. It was nice to show someone my workplace.
A few weeks back I signed up for the Time Inc./HBO volleyball league. I haven't been able to attend any games thus far due to my late schedule, but tonight our game was at 8:30 and I was able to go. I braved the cold for a 4 block walk and made it in time. The teams are co-ed and we ended up winning one match and losing the remaining two. Afterwards, HBO sponsored a little holiday party at a bar close by with free appetizers and beers. It was nice to mingle and eat and drink for free, but I never thought I'd be caught dead in a bar in my sweatpants, especially in New York City, but I wasn't the only one.
Since my commute in and out of the city everyday can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes, I've become a much more avid reader. At the moment my roommates and I are consumed in a Nora Roberts series that involves 4 best friends that run a wedding business. The series is called the Bridal Quartet and we are all hooked. I'm almost through with the second book and can't wait to start the third. I never thought I'd actually look forward to reading. If you have any suggestions for books you think I'd enjoy, please leave a comment!
NYGal,
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in NYC. You have been through quite the lifestyle changes in the past 6 years. I am a little upset with you because I heard you tripped it Ferebee's after Thanksgiving without telling me to meet you there. Regardless, lets not let that happen over Christmas. You asked for a book recommendation and I would have to go with Russell Brand's new book (British guy from Sarah Marshall) Booky Wook: This Time It's Personal- very clever. Its really the only book I have read outside of school, and I didnt get to read his first one. Its final time so I am cracked out on aderall at 6am, ready to be done. See you soon

Lisa said the same thing about the Nora Roberts series. I'm going to have to read it! I was NEVER a read-for-fun type of gal until I read the Twilight Saga and I've been dying for a good recommendation. I think I'll check it out. I'm glad the city is treating you ladies well.
ReplyDeleteNice little Thursday surprise indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get started on Book 2 in the Bride Quartet!
