Because, New York Part 3

As I continued to take in 5th Avenue I was overwhelmed and couldn't believe the sites I had seen so far!  I had, at this pint, had two people ask me for directions.  I responded with, "I'm from LA...sorry." Proudly but also flattered that I either looked like a New Yorker, or maybe people just ask whomever. Anyway, I continued on my trek and then of course, turn a corner, and see St. Patrick's Cathedral! Gorgeous.  And of course something I have been wanting to see.  And then I turn around and I am in front of Rockefeller Center! No big deal.  I mean, I don't even think I comprehended how perfect my exploring was going!

Rockefeller Center
Beautiful building!



 I walked around inside Rockefeller center and of course saw the tree! Which is not as stunning in the day time as it is at night, but I still loved every minute!  This building is huge and confusing.  I had to duck into AT&T to buy a phone charger as mine was acting up, annoying but alas it worked out perfect to have it right there.  I then headed back outside and then saw The Chrysler Building.  Which is a building everyone can recognize from the New York City Skyline.  It is a stunning building with the architecture so intricate and detailed. Loved seeing it peak through the other tall buildings and then going to the base of it and seeing it from the ground up.

Something everyone recognizes from the NY skyline!
 It then donned on me that I absolutely HAD to go to The New York City Public Library, duh! Carrie almost married big there! The girls from Gossip Girl ate lunch on the steps.  And Jake Gyllenhaal(forgive my spelling) and Emmy Rossum almost froze to death...ok ok, I KNOW, that's all fake, but the library is stunning and I wanted to see it for more reasons then what Hollywood has done with it.  So I google the address and head that way.  The best thing I noticed about getting around New York, you find the street numbers and you can get there.  It's a grid, you just move up and over or down and over.  I loved it.  No chance of getting lost, plus I knew my hotel from buildings next to it, when in doubt, LOOK UP!  I made my way to the library and was blown away by it's beauty and detail.  It was GORGEOUS.  It was quiet and peaceful inside and I loved it.  I walked around and took it all in, people were touring, people were reading.  It was wonderful.
NYC PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Inside the Library
I continued my walk after the library and stumbled upon Grand Central Train Station! Couldn't have been a more perfect addition to my discoveries of the day.

Because, New York Part 2

That right there is my very first glimpse of the city from my cab! At this point, as you can imagine.  I am screaming.  I don't care that I got an hour of sleep, and it wasn't even REM cycle sleep, it was sitting up, in an airplane, sleep.  NO BUENO.  But that could not take away from how gleeful I was feeling.  If my cab driver spoke more english I would have been very obnoxious and asked a billion questions, instead I texted my friend, who was at our hotel, getting ready to go to work as he was there for work until Friday.  I am sure he was laughing at my excited texts as he has been to New York several, yes SEVERAL times.  Ahh, this city could never get old though.  Much like LA, many areas, towns and places to explore and see.  I had an agenda, I knew exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see.  I just had no idea where anything was but I am just fine heading out and seeing and doing.  Unlike LA, you ...

A Letter to You

Dear                      , This is a letter to whomever it concerns.  It is a letter to my younger self, to my future self, to my friends, to my family, to the people that I adore with all my heart, to the people that I want to see the light, to the people that have come and gone, to anyone that has the patience to put up with my ADD writing. Almost 3 decades in this world and what have I learned?  How does one even start this. Boys are annoying when you're 16, they're still annoying when you're 28, however you can definitely tolerate their behavior with some experience under your belt. "Hooking-up", has several meanings. If you have morals, stick with them but cut loose from time-to-time.   If you want to be happy, you have to do what will make you happy.  If that means giving up some HUGE THINGS, then that means giving up some huge things. If you love someone, be with them. Be brave.  All it...

Currently- Edition 2

Currently-Edition 2 Two weeks later, I have been 31 for 14 days, I have had the WORST cold for almost 1 week, I went to North Carolina and back and it is NOVEMBER 1st!!! WOOHOO! You know what this means...Fall is in FULL SWING (officially we 'fall back' in a few days), time to break out the boots, scarves, coats, flannels.  Put away the Halloween decor and break out the in-between Halloween and Christmas decor (which for me is one in the same...I put out "winter" decor, I'll do my tree a little later on.  And drinking hot drinks, and quite possibly attempting to add a Christmas playlist into your Pandora shuffle just for a light preview.  So now, day 1 of November, here are the 'currently's' happening! Drinking My body is begging me to drink water, water and more water.  But on the first day of November, I splurged on a fancy (free thanks to earned rewards!) Starbucks drink, it was my go-to in college, Grande Soy White Chocolate Peppermint M...
