Fan-fare

Hey all! Back at it again. Cad time! I think I am really finished with the floor plans for the hotel now. So that is good news. I'm working on the elevations for it...but I don't really know what to do...because Vicente was busy all day, and then I think he left early to go to the hamptons. Or maybe thats next week. Lucky! I think ones of these times he is going to take me with him. I'll go to the hamptons!

Then I creeped on the office from my desk and got some pics while everyone was at lunch. Noice! (purposeful type-o. Say it!)  I even had my lunch on the red steps in times square today. Hooray for the infamous Subway!

When I got a block from home Lindsay texted me and said she just got off work and she wanted to go to Dylan's Candy Shop for candy. And since I definitely didn't want to walk up our 63 stairs for no reason I walked around the neighborhood. I even found out where the D&D building is!! We live like 3 blocks from it. Crazy! I have to go in some time. I have heard great things...

Then I got back to Dylan's and Lindsay and I got candy for dinner! Don't tell my mother.

And guess what. We bought a fan! Best purchase of the century I would say. It is so hot here and our room gets ZERO circulation. Cool. So we bought a fan. Its really nice.

time to watch Friends!

 Huge windows in the office. I love the view!

 A big printer for big paper. Who knew?!

The Fan!

Lets all scream for ice cream

Yup you guessed it! I worked today.

Who knew!?

I worked on the cad plans for the hotel. I didn't get much help with it and the other designers didn't have anything to do for me today, so it was pretty boring. But thats ok.

I actually went to a new place for lunch! Well my mom, Lindsay, and I had gone there before. But normally I go to subway everyday-so it was a big change for me! I had a chocolate muffin and a smoothie. Nice and healthy I would say.

The afternoon went ok. I feel so inadequate. I'm not sure what I'm doing and its frustrating. And I keep doing things wrong. I don't like it. And New York is just so busy! I miss my car so bad. I'm already tired of all the people. Its definitely a change from little ol' Logan!

But then I came home from work and went straight to Central Park. It was so nice! I loved just walking around and listening to my music.

Then when I got home Lindsay and I went to the grocery store and I got ice cream for dinner. Yay!

I'll take sand over city.

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. Too much to do!

So yesterday we finally figured out how to get laundry done. The laundromat is very close so that was nice!

And then we headed off to the Beach!! We went out to Long Island and went to Jones Beach. It is huge! It is 6 miles long and it feels like a mile wide.-ok maybe not that much! But it is a big beach. And the waves were massive! But the water was freezing. I have no idea how people actually had their whole bodies in there.

I loved getting away from the city. It was such a great change. I am definitely going out there a few more times while I am here!

Then that night my mom and I went to another broadway play. I know! Surprise! We went to Newsies. INCREDIBLE! It was a perfect broadway play. The dancing and singing was fantastic! Go to it if you ever get a chance! I loved it!

Then today was more work work work. But hey! Only 23 more days. I'm not counting. 

I worked on the cad plans for the hotel and made big changes with Vicente. I get to work with him a lot on the project. and it is great to watch him work first hand. How does he come up with this stuff so quickly?!

Then I just got to have a lazy night. Cool! I wish it was cool here. I am melting! Bleh!

 Laundry!

Newsies!

A walk in the park....or Times Square.

We got up and headed off to the singles ward. It was sooooo early! Boo! And everyone was gone for the weekend so it ended up being like 30 people there. It was weird... but in the family ward they told us we should go to the singles ward, but then they found out I was married and then they would just say "Oh." and then it was even more awkward. So I'm in a weird place!! But there are only 4 more sundays left. Nice! But not like I'm counting down till I get to see my husband or anything... ;)

Then we had to get another Broadway play in before my mother left. So we jumped the subway to Times Square. We got in the longest line ever to get half price tickets. The show we wanted to see was all sold out! So the people there talked us into going to Priscilla. It is "fabulous!" they said.

Priscilla was not fabulous. The costumes were good and so was the dancing! And so were all of the basically naked muscled men -if you like that kind of thing ;)- But it was about 3 drag queens and their travels through the out back of Australia. It was soooo crude. And they used the 'F' word more than I cared to count. So it was definitely a disappointment. But oh well! It was broadway. And the theater and lights are always great to experience.

Well how did you like that little review, eh?!

Then on our way home we stopped at Dylan's candy bar and got more candy. Yippee! Can never have enough of that. Oh and maybe a frozen hot chocolate to go :]

 Longest line ever in Times Square to get tickets.

A Day of Broadway

Great day! We got ready and headed off to Times Square. It was time for our Broadway show! We got tickets for the 2:00 show of Peter and the Starcatcher. It is the story about Peter Pan before he became Peter Pan. It was incredible!! It was hilarious and we were almost falling out of our seats it was so good! We had fantastic seats by the way.

Then we walked around Times Square and got a McDonalds Coke :)

Then we had to go back to another Broadway show at 8:00. This time we went to Sister Act. It was about a woman that witnesses a murder and then the police have to hide her in a convent. It was very funny too. but it wasn't as good as Peter. I want to see the Peter one again! And we could do all of this because of my wonderful mother. Thanks Mom!!

It was so fun to see all the lights and the people at the Broadway plays. So amazing!

Would you look at that!

Military

It was a half day of work today!! Sweeeeeettt. I was sooo happy. And then we don't have work on monday so I am going to be spoiled. So at least next week is a short week but then the next will be a full week and it will be sooooo long. Bleh.
But then today Vicente wanted me to do some sketches for this hotel. Scary!! I am not a great sketcher....so we shall see how that goes....

Then my mom and I headed off to Fleet week! Some huge ships from the military were in this week so we have been seeing all of the uniformed military walking around New York. Very cool. There was the Marines, Navy, and the Coast Guard. The ships were incredible! And so huge! It was cool to see the things that you only see on tv in real life. My mom and I even got our own little personal tour from one of the Marines. He was our new best friend. We almost had to go out for drinks with him too! He didn't was us to leave. So silly.

Then we got Lindsay and we went to Johnny Rockets for dinner. Cute diner! Shakes and burgers. Delicious!

Italian

CAD! Yup it was a cad day. But now I feel better about it! Because... I got a little info. It is a hotel and I am doing the presentation drawings for Vicente. He is doing the presentation on June 6th! And he said I could be there! Cool. But terrifying! So now I'm just trying to get all the drawings perfect. Takes for-ev-er.

Then my mom picked me up and we met up with Lindsay and we headed down to Little Italy for dinner. We went to our new favorite place. Da Nicos! Amazing! It is pretty authentic and the waiters are really italian.

But this one waiter is crazy. His name is Adam and he is our new best friend. He made us laugh all night!

Lady: "How long is the wait for dinner?"
Adam: "uhh...about 30 seconds."

We laughed our heads off!!! We had to get a pic with him and he didn't want us to leave. Haha! I am going there every week while I am here.

 Times Square. I love how it came out black and white but the boards are colored! Awesome!

 Free food from Adam!

 And free desert from Adam. He also brought us fruit!
