The Recap

So, its been a while and much has happened. Lets go day by day, shall we?

Monday-

I'll set the stage here, Connecticut country girl plun-ed into the city. Here's the run down of the day. Bagels. A German-Austrian art gallery where I saw -limt's painting that sold for 35 million last wee-, absolutely amazing. Totally worth the money, you must see it live, pictures don't do it justice. Cooper-Hewitt, another museum, where we saw a exhibit on cutlery. Who -new spoons could be so much more then a simple soup scooper, no I.. but now I understand. Dinner at a Curry in a Hurry. Isn't that fun to say? Seriously, say it. You'll have fun, I promise. Yum. Watched the Royal Tennenbams. Had seen it already but a wonderful movie. A totally wonderful city day.

Tuesday-

Last day in the city. Was wo-en up early to watch the Tour De France, interesting and totally impressive. Spent the day with my aunt at the Met (that's the Metropolitan Museum of Art, for those that aren't on the DL on such things). Saw soo many amazing things, I wish I -new how to post pictures, sorry. Mattise, Monet, -limt. The Anglomania exhibit, amazing.. good prep done by reading about it in Vogue. Lunch amazing too.. GOOD beets (who -new that was possible?), cheese and pears, tomato and mozzarella, couscous and an Izze to wash it all down. Reinvigorating, ma-es you want to loo- at some more art! Which I then preceded to do. Late evening I wearily traveled home. Drove from the city safely (hooray). Was entertained by the lightening storm in front of me.

Wednesday-

Cottage with my sis and the boy I nanny. Crabbing. Sandcastles. Swimming. Shell collecting. Picture frame decorating. A day full of relaxing fun, unfortunately followed by an evening full of family stress. But on the other end of it all, its really interesting when you stop loo-ing at your parents, aunts and uncles as one dimensional and begin to see them as children and siblings in their own rights. I am beginning to -now and understand.

Thursday-

Wor-, so I went to the beach and played with the girls that I nanny. More sancastles, swimming, shell collecting. I better be getting good at this now, I do it enough. Thai for dinner with some sisters. Always good. We got four dishes and split them all, my plate was clean. Cute waiter too. Drove to a party later where I was promptly -ic-ed out, by this -id I don't -now and his mom. Weird. I've got to stop trying to going to high school parties. This mom scared the crap out of me!

And now, bed. Maybe you didn't notice but sleep wasn't really mentioned these last couple days. Haven't done much of it lately. Maybe I can ma=e up for this tonight. Goodnight.
