S for Spontaneity

*Uggh... long day in the city. crazy things happen when you dont plan things!

I didnt think i'd stay out too late, thats why i decided not to drive in. Geez, the ONE day i actually leave my car at home!.. Just got back an hour ago! longest commute everrr =(

So I woke up with some good news from my manager. Instead of coming in to work, she gave me a paid day off! Which made me feel better about having to rush to the city for my casting. Hence, leaving my car at home. The Ray Ban casting was in SoHo. that was cool. Afterwards, since i didn't have to go to work anymore, i went shopping on Broadway. Hit up Esprit and thought i saw someone. Hadta look twice, three times! lol. Deliriousness! Good thing that wasn't him or else i woulda had a nice talk with him and that chick he was with! haha i'm just joking ;p . Anyway i bought a hat there.

Window shopped some more, and was gravitationally pulled towards Zara! i'm telling you, that place always has something for me! i got a mean leather jacket! then after that, i told myself i have to stay away from that place for a while, at least until i'm done Christmas shopping for everyone else!

A friend of mine was holding an Orchard Street sample sale just a few blocks from where i was. Ingrid, Steph, and Ricky would be there. So i met them up. Got 2 t-shirts for a GREAT deal! not for me hehe.

Ingrid just started up being a stylist, so she's been doing research on all the little boutiques around the city. SoHo is full of them and we walked around for a bit. I was getting hungry, so when we found ourselves right in front of this restaurant that i LOVE, i made us go in and eat! mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Then, by pure luck, these 2 girls came in and handed the waiter 3 boxes full of Tim Tams! u dont understand!!.. I completely squealed, jumped out of my seat, and practically pounced on the waiter, "OMG ARE THOSE TIM TAMS??!!" lol.. So he gave us each a package. Well, i got two hehe. again, not just for me ;)

The night was still early, so Ricky brought us to St. Mark's to this unsuspecting underground bar called Please Don't Tell. It's so secret! From the outside, it looks like a dingy hot dog place, pretty unattractive. BUT THEN! you go inside a phone booth, pick up the phone and press the button, and a hostess literally opens the wall and takes you in to a really nice, swank bar!! I could not believe it! But there's a catch. It's really hard to get a seat there. You have to call exactly at 3 pm to make reservations. Strictly at 3 pm! no earlier, no later. Ricky called at 3:20, and the only opening left wasn't until midnight! can u believe that?! But we decided to just go there anyway and take our chances. I almost thought we werent gonna get seated cuz the hostess just closed the wall on us, all 4 of us huddled into this tiny phone booth! haha but then she opened it back up and let us in! it was all too exciting. I felt like i was part of some top secret operation!

We stayed there for a while. One topic we talked about was Religion. and love. They went on about it for a good hour. i was mostly just listening because i needed to hear other perspectives. Got me sad, then mad, then depressed. Then mad again. haha it's complicated.

gosh i'm tired! no more commuting for Shirl please! =( and tomorrow morning i have breakfast at Tavern on the Green with my girls. every day it's back and forth for me! argh...

i'm moving back to the city.
