Weekend Recap

Friday, I started my weekend off by going to the bar with one of my homegirls. She was there a few hours before me so she was a little tipsy when I got there. When I sat down she had already had conversations with everyone at the bar. They knew her by name. LOL I ordered my usual drink, Vodka, lime juice and tonic and observed the happenings. People were getting out of pocket. It's so funny how when you observe people and their mannerisms you get to learn a lot about a person. I saw a decent looking man with a muscular build that I could tell from his mannerisms that he was from New York. He had a diddy bop and all that. After my three drinks, I mustered up the courage to ask him. We had a little conversation. He told me where he was from (a few blocks from my old stomping grounds), and exclaimed he liked my "nerdy" look. I couldn't help but smile because I guess that's what I look like (sarcasm). LOL I got dropped off at home and packed for my ride to New York.

Saturday morning, 5:00am I arrived in New York and took the train Uptown to my grandmother's house. I went to sleep as soon as I got in the house. When I woke up, I could hear her in the bathroom. I got up, and suprised her. She then asked what I would do for the day. I told her my intentions for going to Soho to shop and look for items at the thrift store. She then asked me to come with her and her friend to Queens to go to Annie Sez, a clothing store that has discounted clothes. I got dressed and we were on our way. It took us FOREVER to get there. We got lost in the process and it was cold as SHIT out there. I did not have on a hat and had to use my Pashmina as a head wrap. When we finally got there, I was not impressed. I hated the clothes in that store. When I walked over to the shoe section, I saw a huge purple box with a pair of Madden Girl boots. I looked at the price of the boots and they were 50% off. I looked in the boots to see whether they were my size. EUREKA!!! They were my size and my price. While I waited for grandma, I played my addiction Words with Friends. Finally, she was ready to go and we went back to Manhattan so that she could take care of some business. I was a little annoyed because I wanted to branch out and she wanted me to stay with her. Instead of telling her my frustrations, it showed all over my face. We walked all over the damn place. I had an unlimited Metrocard and wanted to use it.LOL I was being lazy I know but where ever her friend wanted her to go she went. I just wanted to leave them alone so that I could do my own thing which would have been detrimental to my pockets. I ended that night going to Cafe Wha? in the West Village which is a live entertainment dining spot. After the event I walked to the East Village took some pictures and ate Frozen Yogurt in the middle of the night. I took a LOOOOONNNNG bus ride home and went to sleep.

Sunday, I was awakened by a call from my little cousin to hang out. I decided to spend my Sunday in Williamsburg, a fashionable place in Brooklyn. Williamsburg has many thrift stores and vintage shops that were extremely crowded that day. We manuevered to majority of the Thrift shops where I was able to pick up a few things and decided to eat at Pop's. Pop's is a hole in the wall burger joint which had poor decor according to my grandma. Needless to say she was not exactly happy with her food as well. I almost had an EPIC FAIL because as soon as my cousin's fries hit the table, I picked one up placed it 2mm from my mouth and dropped it down. I couldn't believe I couldn't have french fries. My decision to give up fried foods for lent actually hurt a little. I ate Chicken tacos and grilled corn and washed that all down with a Snapple. When we left Pop's, we hopped back on the train and went back to my Grandma's house. I went to sleep and did not wake until about 10pm. I packed my clothes and watched Lifetime until it was time to go. When I left I kissed my Grandma and told her I'd see her in two weeks. Overall it wasn't the kind of weekend to write about but it had its highs and lows
