This time I actually have something somewhat exciting to tell you about a WEEKDAY...wow. So.. pretty sure it was Thursday...my friend Laura invited me to a bbq in Brooklyn...I figured it would be on someones patio or something...I get there...and it was on the roof...how fun is that?!? I felt like I was in an episode of Friends or something...grilling up on a roof...we had a good time. I ran into the ex nanny this week...slightly awkward..not sure why..I thought we could maybe hang out....guess not...for more details on that...feel free to ask. Saturday I slept in later than I care to say....I argued with myself for a good while about whether or not I should go into the city or not...I knew I was going Sunday and would be there ALL day....I decided to go anyway...I get to the train station....and change my mind. Now...don't get me wrong, I love the city...but when I go...I go....all......day....and my poor little old lady feet get tired...and I get cranky. So instead I went to the only place here that I KNOW has good Dr.Pepper...Chilis...I went and ate....called for movie times...and decided to go see Vicky Cristina Barcelona...which I would highly recommend seeing.....if you like that sort of thing...basically..if you liked Mama Mia...chances are you wont like this movie...anyway...I enjoyed myself...got home pretty early..like 9 ish...but I had SO much laundry to do. The family had rented a movie so in between laundry switches I watched this movie called "The Counterfeiters"....has subtitles so if you don't like to read....skip this one. It was very good...true story...also highly recommend that one. Sunday I woke up...somehow lost track of time and wound up running a teeny but late for the train station. I HAVE to make the weekend trains cause they only come every hour...and I was meeting a friend for church at 11:00. I get to the train station and I have either enough time to get coffee...or my ticket...I chose coffee...I can always by the ticket on the train..which I don't like to do cause you have to pay attention to when the conductor man comes...whereas when you have your ticket you just stick it in this thing and relax. So I get my coffee and a blueberry scone. I get up to the platform and the lady comes over the speaker and says "the 9:59 train to Penn Station will be running 6 minutes late"...perfect...I'll go get my ticket! I'm buying my ticket...and the ticket lady comments on how she remembers me every week because my card is bent..haha...making memories here people. We have a nice chat and I pick up my coffee..my bag with my scone...and I picked it up by the wrong side and sadly....and in slow motion...watched my scone fall to the dirty train station floor.....CRAP.....now it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal but I CAN NOT have coffee on an empty stomach...makes me ill...I have like 2 1/2 minutes till the train should get here...so I go for it..back to Starbucks..."one blueberry scone on the double"!!! I didn't really say it like that....they give it to me, I pay...and run off to the sound of the train pulling in overhead...I run....I'm running..the train is slowing..I run up the stairs...I fall....on the stairs...coffee...on arm...scone holding strong....I get up...laugh....at my craziness...and make it to the train on time. I felt like people could tell how frazzled I was when I got on...I got some looks..maybe it was because I had coffee on my arm...not sure...the rest of the train ride was normal...met Laura...went to church...went to eat at this little place I'm growing fond of.. "Friend of a farmer".... then went shopping for a little bit...I almost bought a tee shirt from a man in union square...it was really cool looking..but it was $30.00! No thanks street vendor. Laura left to go practice (she had a show later) and off I went in search of The Angelika theater (they play independent and lesser known movies)...Laura recommended this place called IFC (I'm assuming Independent or International film something..) well after some walking I found them both...I wound up seeing Elegy at The Angelika...cause I hear good things and I LOVE Penelope Cruz..let me just say that if I ever had to fool around with a woman..she would be it.....anyway I had just seen her in that movie last night so I was in a Penelope mood...also Ben Kingsley....the actor in Elegy...is great. I'm pretty sure The Angelika and me are going to become good friends....the place just has a really great feel...the little cafe there and everything...I like it. After that I walked around the Village for a bit and decided I wasn't going to stay for Laura's show at 10:00....I had a while till the next train so I went and got some pizza...then went to Penn Station....I'm on the train..I put my earphones in....turn on the IPOD...and....dead battery...which was perfect since there was a screaming baby....a somewhat cute guy sat next to me...there was some non verbal flirting...then....he spoke... " do you ever feel like you always pick the loudest train"?? I laughed...and we wound up talking for the next 25 minutes...we talked about what we did, where we were from...blah blah..nice chat...now I could tell from this brief encounter that we could possibly have a few nice dates but he probably isn't the man of my dreams...but I'm ok with that..dating without being positive of being together forever..I mean if somewhere along the way I am POSITIVE there is no future...I'm sure I would end it but...attractive guy...nice...why not??...well..all of a sudden my stop is coming up so he gets up to let me out...we say our goodbyes...and............................nothing...he didn't even ask for my number...WHAT?? There is something wrong with guys here..haha...I could have been the woman of his dreams and he let me get away...my only consolation is the thought of him lying awake last night regretting his slow non action. Today and tomorrow are a bit different since the kids are out of camp...they leave Wednesday for vacation with their grandparents...then it's just the parents and me till Saturday...then THEY leave...and I'm all alone till Wednesday when I come home!!! How exciting.....I hope all is going well with you...not sure who "you" is...not even sure if anyone even reads this..haha...but it's cathartic for me.....talk to you soon..bye.
