Decided I'd start off with a list of firsts for me.
1st time I rode in a taxi. It was disgusting.
1st time I rode the subway. Not much better. ;)
1st time I saw the statue of liberty. Smaller than expected.
1st time I ate a macaroon. It was good!
1st time I heard Tim Keller speak live. He was good, but I was way too tired to truly appreciate the experience.
1st time I'd been to a wrap party. Fun. Interesting group of people.
There are many others, but mostly with regards to the places we visited.
I think my favorite place was the Upper West side. So eclectic and cute. The buildings were just beautiful. We pretty much just shopped the whole trip, which was Just fine with me! We ate at some really fantastic places and I would say that, maybe, would be the thing I miss the most. Only because shopping online makes travel unnecessary. I took 8 pictures...all of buildings and the statue of liberty and one of central park. Told you I'm bad about it. If you want to see NY though, just google it. That's what it looks like. I will miss being able to just walk everywhere though. I didn't feel the gross "I haven't exercised in a couple days" because we were booking it all over the city.
It's nice to sleep in my own bed though. I'll say that. Welcome back to Memphis, welcome back to life. :(

::I'm back
and desperately trying to get my bearings.
This pretty much sums up the trip. :) I'll post more a little later.

I'm heading out tomorrow morning and I won't be back until Tuesday. Hopefully I'll take some pictures to put on here (I'm really awful about that). Let me know if you want me to pick you up anything.Have a great weekend!

...for that perfect clutch. I want it a little more on the oversized side. Neutral color (gold/beige preferrably but gray might work too). Something I can wear with everything (dressy, casual)
What do you think?

Not too much new. Well, that's not true...but nothing I really care to blog about. You know how you get in those moods where you just don't feel like you have anything worthwhile to say. Welcome to my mood.
I'll leave you now with my paper chain countdown:

::words to no end
I don't think you really realize the decisions you're making until you start seeing the consequences (be them good or bad). I guess it's just the clearest way of seeing what you need to change. Though, I do have to wonder how much of it is me and how much of it is simply the circumstances to which I am subjected. It would be nice, every now and then, to see the end result. But then, I suppose that wouldn't be any fun. No one in the movies ever decides to find out the day they're going to die (well, except for Back to the Future, but that doesn't count).
It's hard living in this world...in this flesh. We were made for something quite different. It's strange to perpetually feel "off", not at home. We'll never have this figured out, but honestly, do you want to? I think it's nice knowing I don't have to have this all down. There must be some comfort found in this constant state of frustration- some sort of beauty in the breakdown (to borrow from Ms. Frou Frou). It would really be nice to know the breaking point. My limit. Where can I push myself before I fall off the ledge? And if I go over, how far down before I hit bottom?
Growing up is hard. You never know where you stand. Do I need to call her Mrs. Wallace, or will Emily suffice? I suppose life just gets more complicated the longer you're in it. I wonder why though. Nothing new really changes. Maybe it's just my perspective. The good things though, get to be really good. I'll say that for sure. Before it was learning to drive. Now it's learning to share my life with someone who just really wants to be there. The bad things start to become less shocking. Not trying to be cynical, you just start to experience your share.
Sometimes I wish things didn't have to change. But you know, looking back on it...every time they did, it was always better on the other side. Looks like someone knows me better than I do. I've always wondered what angels think of us. To see a people who know the truth and yet act like we don't. I wonder if they're surprised. I guess by this point they're not. What does it truly mean to be different? I wonder what it will be like to no longer see men as trees walking. I wonder why it's so hard to be honest. I used to not care about hurting other people's feelings. Telling them something I thought they needed to hear was of the up most importance. Is it possible to cower down too much? When is it wisdom that comes with age? When is it fear of losing a friend? Why can't everything just be black and white?
Please just take this for what it is.

::yay for Friday
- Still getting over whatever sinus thing this is. Found out the medicine I was taking was actually making it worse. ugh! Getting better for sure--though I do sound like an adolescent boy. *_*
- Decided to try and plant peonies in the little garden bed by the trash can in the front yard. You're supposed to plant them in the fall. Now I just have to find out if anybody around here sells the bulbs.
- Going to put up the fall decorations this weekend, I think. I was good and waited until close to Labor Day!! ;)
- Hoping to get some well needed sleep this weekend. Sore throat+stuffy nose=3 hours of sleep at a time max. le sigh
Hope you have a Great, long weekend!

::cute findings
I'm trying to get ready for New York, plan out some of the things I might need. (While a coat may not be on the list, I just thought this one was so cute). The caramel colored tote bag might just be the carry on I've been looking for. Unless I end up using my old trusty from anthropologie...hmm...
