Sundays : B R O O K L Y N

Today, I jumped on the train and headed to Brooklyn. I have a love/hate relationship for Brooklyn. For good, bad, and indifferent reasons but I just can’t ever stay away from Brooklyn for too long. After my trip to California last year, I learned to get over the fear of doing things alone. So whenever I want to do something now, I just get up and go! Today’s adventure was the Brooklyn Museum.

I had been meaning to see the KAWS exhibit for some time now but every time I ask someone to come with me, it seems like its a hassle. Today I was suppose to be seeing the exhibit with a friend but they didn’t wake up on time. So what to do? GO by yourself. I asked an onlooker to snap a photo because this was the purpose of the visit! For a second I didn’t want to walk around the museum but I decided I had nothing to lose. The two hour train commute was real! So I was going to make my trip worth it.

My love for furniture and interior designed had me in the 19th century exhibits for longer than I anticipated. The fabric on the couch and chairs were gorgeous. Giving me ideas for my ~~house~~.

The modern art was fun. I’d like to hopefully go to the MoMa in a few weeks, when school starts to slow down. I have a thing for the arts.

I didn’t have breakfast and my body was reminding me of that. All that walking made me hungry. If you’re anything like me, you prefer the low key, old, no name spots. I didn’t notice it at first but, the name was hidden in the window. Tom’s on Washington Avenue in Crown Heights.

I decided to do breakfast. It was late in the afternoon, so I guess you can consider it Brunch. I didn’t finish my meal. One pancake had me ready to fall asleep. I recommend for a quick and affordable breakfast.

I’m ready for more days like this. I told my best friend that I might dedicate my summer to touring the city. I’m from New York and I really don’t explore it much. There’s so much to do. I have nothing but space and opportunity, as long as I am ready for the challenge, it can be done.

How was your weekend?

Currently: the weekEnd

I’m at double digits in the month without a post. Just to clarify, I’ve been meaning too but my mood and the universe are on two different waves.

These days are better. I’m working hard to end this semester strong but as the weather changes the temptation is prevalent.

For the leap year, I joined friends at Señor Frogs in Times Square, sang karaoke, won free shots, and went home to a fulfilling conversation with a great friend. That was a good night.

March started okay, it’s the other month with in my year for changes. This time it might be a career change. I’m currently researching a career advisor. The other thing is I’m tired of working for under qualified people who set rules that don’t make sense. I could be wrong but professionally, team work is the dream work. So much can get done when everyone is on the same page, but not under the administration that I’m working for. Last year this time, I was going through the same, and after I went to a convention is California, won’t say where for privacy concerns and not having permission to share this, I was given the opportunity to meet some amazing women, and that day changed my life, so anything that is happening is preparation for better, I’m sure of this.

Less than one month away from my 27th birthday! I so have a post about this age but wait on it April! I decided to actually request gifts because I never really get what I want. I am always thankful for the gifts that I’m gifted but I’m trying my luck this year. I created a wish list and will send it to everyone that I think will get me something for my birthday. It’s a fun idea. From tooth paste to art work. I’m a creative now! Hopefully, someone gets me the massage package that I requested, I am in need of human touch. I’ve also been stalling time to purchase my ticket to Jamaica. I decided to go the cheaper route. We have a home in Jamaica and I haven’t been there since 2008. Cuts the cost of hotel prices. I’m getting over a fear and dealing with emotions that I secretly try to cope with. I have shared to a few it’s the reason why I decided to go to Jamaica but it needs to be dealt with. I’ll share this later as well.

I’m ready for the weekend to come again. March weekends are full with all kinds of events but I need a staycation. This weekend, I went to two day parties and danced til’ my feet hurt. Spent sums of money that I needed to deposit into my savings account, and fought fraud with Uber because someone in China used my account! But this was a well needed weekend.

What’s been going on?

Random Thoughts

I am in my feelings. I am tired. I’ve been running since 6:45 AM. I did an entire tour of my facility in the wrong shoes. I left work to do my laundry. Went to 34^th street after to pick up a package. And now I’m fighting myself to have dinner or finish my amazing bottle of wine without dinner.

But I’m having a salad and I’ll probably end up finishing the bottle between completing my HW and Chapter 7 of Year of Yes.

My coworker received edible arrangements from her “boyfriend” in prison today. LAWD. It made me realize how single I was. Two years ago I went on two dates the same night Valentine’s day. SAVAGE! Now I’m making plans on what shows to binge watch while ignoring every text message from friend to foe.

My sister tells me that our father is worried about whom I’m dating and is hoping that I am not being taken advantage of. I have no problems telling him he should have no worries. I am not dating at all. But his concerns come from a deeper place, I am his “baby”.

I want to call one of my friends to express my current annoyance with a situation that has me at level 20 but I’m caught in between “not talking” and “wanting to talk”. Its an awkward position but I’ll opt for “not talking’. I do shut down well.

My feet hurt and I wish I had male company to rub these freshly pedicured feet. But nope, I’m not talking to anyone at all. Which reminds me that maybe I should’ve waited to get my nails done because I literally have nothing to do all weekend being that my usual maintenance is done on weekends. Binge watching on Netflix it is. I have to rethink my plans to buy my “kid” some shoes this weekend due to this weather. It will be 19 degrees tomorrow and he’s 9 months, I can’t take him outside. I could but I don’t know. We’ll see.

Well I think I am done for now. Back to this wine and completion of this HW.
