grace + new york (part 1)

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, my multitudes of readers, I am committing to one post weekly at the very least. Can I get a huzzah? Hello? *echo*. right. anyway. It's happening even if it means I will have to dip into my pharmacy stories which would completely miss my target demographic. Of course, they took away the most glamorous part of our job, free knick-knacks from drug companies like the Viagra ballpoint pens and the Mucinex character dolls. Maybe we could work the angle of the importance of being complaint with prescribed medications? Anyway, I'll have to work this all out in a less public manner. Now, about my year so far...

I started it off in NY which I unexpectedly fell madly in love with. I loved it so much that I trulia-ed (trulia.com- one of my go-to "single girl behaviors") the crap out of the city which squashed any hope of ever living in a cute little "brownstone". At the time we waltzed down the street scoffing about "how terrible the living conditions must be living in one of these tiny places" and found out the very ones on that street are worth 9 million dollars. Needless to say, dont call me over to come appraise your goods. I may be shorting you out of a couple bucks.

Oh and that frenchie pup- her name's Truffle, shes from Houston, TX, and shes $1500!

grace + halloween

It didn't feel right posting about my upcoming birthday weekend without talking about my last trip in Austin. I spent Halloween there due to a career fair and stayed the rest of the weekend to explore the city. I jumped on this opportunity to be some sort of hipster Coachella wannabe since I've been dying to wear a headdress/war bonnet (as you can imagine, it's really difficult to justify wearing one on any day besides Oct 31). The weather was beautiful, and it made me reminisce of my North Campus apartment that used to randomly quiver when it got super windy. That's possibly why when I felt the aftershocks of the Oklahoma earthquake a couple of weeks ago, I sat there gchatting through it like I'm from California.
