Harry....

I miss you.

I finished the last Harry Potter book this weekend. And I feel like I've just returned from a long journey with a friend, a friend that I may never see again. It's like he became my friendly neighbor that I would check on multiple times a day (though usually on the train). I'm just waiting for him to pop up somewhere and in some kind of trouble that I can read him through.....

So to distract me from the Harry-shaped hole in my heart, I've been watching Gilmore Girls. I'm almost through season 2 and the girls are becoming my Harry...slowly but surely!

I think I may get a little too emotionally attached to fictional characters....

Visitors!

I'm loving my life right now. Reasons?

1. Nacho: One of my best friends in high school. Came to visit this past weekend. We did lots of fun tourist-like things (including jumping pics at the bean, walking for hours on end, lots of free things) and did a lot of just hanging out. I kicked his butt at Scrabble, he gave me tips on my garden, and we ate LOTS of new and fun food together.

2. Sista-face (Aka: Amanda): My all-time-favoritist-sista-sista-Manda-Jessie-pretty-girl. She just got here yesterday and already my life is 50 billions times better than it was the day before. I like her. She's awesome. We watched Step-Up 2, talked about becoming professional dancers (well, I did) and ate pizza, doritos and other chocolate. She's my favorite and I just might try and convince her to stay forever....

Save Mar!

This is my pretty sister.




She's engaged to this cool guy.





And they are going to be happy. :)

Good Morning

This morning my day was greeted by a woman on the train frantically swatting some 'ant-fly' with her newspaper (aka: hitting the back of my head with her paper) and a man throwing-up all over the floor. He didn't think it was necessary to let anyone know, so for 40 minutes I attempted to read my book with my hand over my face to mask the smell.

Favorite part of today: Our intern brought homemade sushi for the office!

Moving to Cuba!

Well, eventually....

Cake Anyone?

Yes, I know. 2 posts in one day. But it was too sad not to share.....

Imagine ordering this cake:



And getting this one:



And yes it did happen. Poor cake. Poor bride. Poor drunk baker.
