a thoughtful date

I was eating dinner in front of the telly today and had The Bachelor on. I haven't watched this show since college. I'm not sure if it was a rerun but it was the episode where Jake takes a girl (Ally, I think?) on a one on one date. He took her on an airplane ride, a drive in a vintage car, dinner, and then a private concert in the park. It looked incredibly romantic even though I'm sure it cost thousands, they were totally cheesy, and the small fact that he's kissing someone new every night.

It got me thinking though. I feel like boys don't make the effort at all on dates. I'm sure they don't want to spend thousands on a first date but still. Effort doesn't have to cost too much. I'm so tired of the text to make plans that says, "Hey." I'm also tired of the lame, "I dunno, what do you want to do?" Come on boys! Impress us! How about you think of something we would enjoy?

A boy asked me to go to the Moma Tim Burton exhibit with him yesterday. I've been dying to go and thought that would be so much fun. One of my favorite dates was a while ago. I was in London, visiting my brother, and a guy rented a car and took me on a tour of the countryside, stopping for pints at old stone pubs along the way, and visiting old English castles. It was an incredible day. What was your favorite date? What would be your favorite date?

My Weekend

This weekend flew by so fast. I had a rough day on Friday, after sending my mom off at the airport, but I was so busy preparing for a bachelorette party that I didn't have much time to mope around. I felt like my head was going to pop off from all the last minute things we still had to get done; decorations, food, shopping, gifts, etc.

We started the party off with a pole dancing class at S Factor. I had no idea what to expect but I had so much fun, laughing through the entire class. I must say I'm pretty excited to have picked up a new skill. I'm a natural on the pole. :)


I had all 18 girls over at my apartment for cocktail hour. We had a college theme since the bride and groom met at Rutgers and are getting married at Kirkpatrick Chapel. The color theme was red, white, and black and we served food from our school days such as Jimmy's Pizza, Brower Buffet, and Fat Sandwiches. Our favorite bar in college was Olde Queens so it was only fitting that my apartment is in Queens.


Me and the beautiful Bride, Caroline.



Later, we took the party to Marquee and I really can't remember too much after that. My pictures didn't tell too much except for how drunk I was. I had only pictures of feet, back of people's heads, and just all black shots. It's probably best that there were no pictures.

I had such a friend time with the girls I grew up with. I wish we could get together like this every weekend. Well, maybe we wouldn't have the fifth bottle of vodka next time.
