Even though I have been complaining about summer, I was happy to enjoy a nice sunshiney day. I went to the Brooklyn Royalty fashion show and ran into Len and Chris who are friends of mine from Philly.
After the show, we hung out drinking wine on 3 different rooftops, and had a lot of cupcake wine and/or vodka.
Rachel invited Twanna and me to spend the weekend at her grandmother’s beach house in Martha’s Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard is one of my favorite places ever, so I am happy to be here. Saturday, we posed for some crazy pictures in a sculpture garden, and made a new friend.:) Check out FunkyBrownChick’s flickr set of our lovely and lazy Labor Day weekend.
I’m in Atlanta visiting the fam. My sister has this adorable little dog named Star who is 10 weeks old.
My dad made the most tasty BBQ ribs on Saturday. They were bone-sucking good. 🙂 Sunday, my family and I went for brunch at The Pecan, a delicious soul food restaurant in downtown College Park. The pepperjack grits are so good.
Wednesday evening, I went to GenArt Shop NYC. There were so much beautiful clothes and jewelry, I was overwhelmed. A lot of the jewelry had a Neo-Victorian Steampunk kinda feel with lace, chains, and pearls.
I survived three 4th of July parties with only a few bruises from the plastic chair debacle.
Saturday was hangover brunch followed by a nap and then one 5th of July party where I learned a lot about allergies from a doctor who golfs and takes lots of cabs.
Today, I made a small batch of strawberry chicken salad. This afternoon, I may go see The Wackness. I hope it is not wack.
The “no booze diet” is not gonna work for me because I am way too social and plus I like a good drink. The solution came to me today when I met David Wales at LikeMind. He gave a card for the Prudent Boozers Society which advocates the “4 floor program”.
savor the 1st drink
sip the 2nd
nurse the third
skip the fourth
Since I often go to several events in one night, my new rule is this. I am only staying for one drink. If I stay longer than one drink, then I have to skip the next event.
Speaking of social, last Friday I went to Ted and Amy Supper Club hosted by Kara. Alex took loads of pictures and I can be really intense when playing Connect Four.
