Ryder

I have spent a zen (pre London move) week in California to spend time with my nephew Ryder as he was just born on July 1st, 2010. I had an amazing week bonding with him and winding down after feeling like my life has been in a blender in New York.

The blitz of "to do's" starts tomorrow with painting my room, running errands and getting ready for my big "going away" event that will take place downtown tomorrow evening. I have a feeling I will have a lot of laughs and a few tears saying goodbye to everyone and, my city...New York. I have mixed feelings going into the weekend. I'm obviously very excited to be back with my boyfriend in a new place...a new Country! ...but part of me is mourning the loss of a city that I love so much. I'll work through that in the coming weeks.

For now, I will enjoy my last few hours of bliss in California!!!!!

Okay, random today but all need to see this video of a disgruntled ballet ensemble member who wanted to go out of a professional company in style...I'm sure he was fired immediately after exiting the stage...

Basically amazing.

Thirteen days to go until my journey to London officially begins. I'm excited, anxious, scared to death and oddly confident at the same time. I know everything will work out but uncertainty is never something I'm fond of in my wiser not twenties anymore age...

I was invited to a movie Wednesday evening and my response to my friend was "My life is in a blender until I move". I feel like I have a million tasks jumbled together in any given moment. I'm really flexing my multi tasking muscle for SURE! Breathe....one thing at a time!

Tonight I'm being treated to a "Last Supper" with one of my mentors and head member of my NY friend tribe, Felicia. We are going to La Conda Verde in Tribeca...take a look at this menu and admit...you're jealous just a little bit ;)!!! I cannot wait!!! I know I have a ton to do but I have to remember to see and bond with all of the amazing people who have gotten me to this point in my life in NY so I look forward to spending the evening w/"Felly".
