Brooklyn Baby

What a really good day today! Lor and I explored the DUMBO area and hung out at the park. It was packed down there and we saw at least six different brides! They all picked a good day to get married and take pictures. What a fun thing to do. If I'm in Brooklyn when I get married, I could totally see myself wanting to take photos at the base of the bridge overlooking Manhattan (although it would be cold since I would prefer a winter wedding). While I know I can live anywhere in the world, my heart will always belong to Brooklyn.

Anywho, like I said it was a great day to be outside and soak in the sun (SPF 30 for me) and just enjoy the scenery. I'm really happy Lor came out to Brooklyn. Since 95% of my friends live in the other boroughs, I kind of feel like i'm living in the land of the dead since most don't want to come out to Bklyn. I don't know why not though! Were I live is actually called "The Village of Brooklyn". It's a hot spot. Who knew that when I agreed to move to my space that I was moving into what is now a trendy location. I certainly didn't know. I moved here for several reasons. I wanted to live out on my own before I turned 30. I think it's important for every woman to live alone before settling down with someone. For me it represents knowing that I can take care of myself regardless of what life throws at me. I also like how accessible all of the train and bus lines are. I can get to and from the city in a number of ways. If there were laundry facilities on site my life would be perfect! Oh and if I owned it then it would be perfect! LOL. I'll own soon. Just wait and see.

Lor and I couldn't find where the mini-golf setup was for the weekend so we just wandered and relaxed. After we went to my favorite place...the book store. I love being around books. So many different things to read about and then go out and explore. It was a good visit. She made me laugh when not one but two guys hit on me in the span of 10 minutes. What can I say, I was feeling pretty good today. What a difference a day makes. Sometimes I think it's good to have what I call "down" days since it makes me appreciate all of the good days even more. Still have more pictures to post and need to play accountant and pay my bills for the month. Do all of that tomorrow. I think I'll go through my closets again and get rid of winter clothing that I don't plan on wearing since the goal is to lose even more weight and be in training. O.K. Better go and relax myself for a bit.
