1. So, about a month ago Shauna, Sarah and I met the lovely Perry (from season 1 of Make Me a Supermodel on Bravo) on the F train. He was hot. And nice. So, we added him on Facebook and he accepted. Little did he know...ha ha. Since then Shauna and I have chatted on FB with him, etc. and he invited us to this club he goes to every week in SoHo. So, last week we went. We saw. And we conquered.
He's HOT. And super nice. And poured us drinks. Too bad we don't drink. We chatted for a bit. It was awesome. Too bad he's like 23 and I'm 29. I have a plan, though, if people in a club ask me how old I am, I'll say, "I'm 35...just kidding, I'm only 29!!" I figure that sounds a lot better.
2. I went to Boston for the weekend! My roommate Carolyn was running the Boston Marathon along with Shauna's roommate, Keila. So, we took the bus and headed out on Friday night and came back after seeing both our roommates run by us on Monday. It was so cool! I had never been to Boston before, let alone watch the Boston Marathon. Too cool.

And to make the weekend even better, my sister and her fam were also in Boston!! So great!! So, we hung out on Sunday and Britt even joined Shauna and I on the Freedom Trail.
And a shout out to some of the nicest guys ever (Cyrus, Darin, Nate and Mike) who let us stay with them even though we didn't know them very well. They were so nice!!
3. A few weeks ago, I finally got to go to the restaurant Peep in SoHo. Great food, great atmosphere. The best/worst part? The bathrooms. You go in and you can see everyone in the restaurant...but they can't see you. Um, it's a little weird. I got a little self-conscious and was hoping that people really couldn't see me. But they can't. It's definitely interesting.

I didn't take this pic...but it shows the essence of Peep.
4. While in Louisville with Candice & Co., we picked up some fake mustaches because we thought we could take some cool/weird pics. Um...weird? Yes. Cool? If you like he/she zombies, then yes, they turned out cool. We look scaaaaaaary:

We did take better pics where we look less zombie and more freaks of nature. Wait. That doesn't sound better at all! But they were better. When Candice sends me some, I'll post them. Until then, you get zombies. Enjoy!
5. NYC is getting all flowery!!
Macy's has their flower show that I have yet to go to but their window displays have gorgeous paper flowers that, as a paper lover, I had to stop to take a pic (sorry, it's not a good one though):

Central Park is a bloomin'. The trees are blossoming and the daffodils are up!
And I recently found a flower shop by my apt that has daisies for $3 a bundle and sunflowers 3 for $5 so I couldn't help myself. The daisy pic is a little bright...for some reason...oh well, you get the point:
6. Oh...my...gosh...Shauna and I were on the way home from the club last Thursday and we stopped at 72nd street to pick something up from a friend. We got off the train and as it was pulling away, we noticed that the train conductor dude (the one in the middle of the train who powers the doors) was full on checking me out, cat call and everything.
Yeah.
Not sure if I should take it as a compliment or be completely mortified.
As much as I'd like to take it as a compliment...I just can't. I've seen some hot train conductors, and he def wasn't one of them.
Ew.
I'm sick now.
7. Only 2 weeks of school left after this week. Cannot wait. For someone who doesn't like school, I'm sure taking my pleasant time getting it all done. Good grief. Wait, maybe that's why it's taking so long...me no likey. I'm so HSM dancing and singing on the last day of class. Just you wait. Which reminds me of this hillarious sketch on SNL with Zac Efron:
8. So, you know how I have a crush on my UPS man? Well, the other day I was walking down my street on the way to the train and I see him up ahead going to a different apt building. As I walk past him, he was like, "Hi! Is anyone going to be home at your place? I think I have something in the truck for you." Yes. He totally knows me. We're like besties. So, I said that no one was home so he offered to stop what he was doing and go to his truck to get me my package. And because I'm a nerd, I never know what to say to him. I am soooo not good at the flirting thing. Seriously.
I heart my UPS man.
Ah! That just reminded me of Legally Blonde The Musical! I'm Paulette!! Ha ha ha...
9. Ok, I'll try to tell this story quick (or as quick as I can). And I prob shouldn't put it on here, you know...just in case. But I'll change the names to protect the "innocent."
So, I was emailing back and forth with one of my speed dating match ups, Steve* and we finally (after some scheduling difficulties) set a date to meet at a Chipotle for lunch on a Monday that was near his work. Now, living in NYC, you'd think that going to a Chipotle for lunch wasn't really cool. It's not. Just in case you were wondering. I mean, I'm sure it's great for you and your friends to go to but on a lunch date? Let's get creative...
Anyways, so I go to the pre-arranged Chipotle location and wait for Steve.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait some more.
After 20 minutes of waiting, I leave.
I go home and email him to make sure I had the right date/time. He emails back apologizing for having forgot and blah, blah, blah. Whatevs. We tried. You failed. It's done. Or so I thought. A few days later I get a gift card in the mail from Steve for Chipotles. Nice gesture. Thanks Steve! Then I was reading the sleeve that the gift card came in:
To: Sarah Champion
From: Jake
Um...wth? Who's Jake? I email Steve thanking him for the gift card and then add, "but I was just wondering who Jake was?" I mean, I'm never going to go out with this guy so I've gotta find out who the hell Jake is. And then it hit me: he regifted me a gift card! And then another hit: he was prob going to pay for our lunch with this gift card! Nice. These are my options, people!!
Over a week goes by. Finally, a response from Steve, and I quote:
"'You got jaked' is an expression that means 'stood up'. Although not 'stood up' in the strictest sense of the word, I thought it was appropriate."
Again, wth? Even if that is an appropriate (or real) expression...who the hell uses that? Anyone? Have you ever heard it? I sure haven't. But I'm glad it took him a week to come up with it. The end. In every way possible.
Sorry that was so long. Ha.
*Steve is not his real name and isn't really close except it's just as generic. That's the only clue I'm giving.
10. This is more of a P.S.
P.S. I got bangs (see pic in #1). I'm a crazy person and cut them myself while bored last Thursday. Scissors + Crazy Person = Bangs. In my case anyways.
HOLY COW! Longest...blog post...ever! Sorry peeps.
Later,
Sarah ;)

I enjoy reading your blog, and haven't commented before, but your story about *Steve* prompted a reply. :) I'm a 31 year old, single woman, with equally frustrating experiences! You are better without him...obviously.

Oh...my...gosh! That "Steve" story made me laugh. I say it's a good thing you didn't waste any more time! And you can consider the free meal payment for the time you waited : ). I'm sure you're dream guy is out there--it will be fun to read about when you meet him! I'm just a crafty person who found your blog a while back and I love to read it!
