Well I leave today for my whirlwind trip to the East Coast. I spend the weekend in the big PA with my family, then hitch a train ride to the NYC on Monday for work. The trade show is Tuesday through Thursday then I get to spend the weekend with my overachieving younger cousin in her not one, but two fancy loft apartments. We get to chooooose which one we want to stay in. Oooooh, aaaahhh. She’s very cool and very hip and I’m hoping can show me stuff I’ve never seen before in New York. If she can get away from her 90 hour a week job, that is. Wealth and awesomeness, at least in her case, has it’s trade-offs. Ahhh Wall Street.

I’m really really excited. I LOVE being back east, especially during this time of year (um, someone please tell the heat wave to vamanos, yes?). I’ve got lots of shopping to do because I need an outfit for my ten year high school reunion the NEXT week . . . plus it’s New York. And there’s an H&M. That’s three stories (two? three? I don’t remember. HUGE.). There’s also Soho and the Garment District and so much fun stuff to do.

Also, food. OH the food. Any recommendations from those of you who’ve been there recently? I’m always up for suggestions!

I’m also going to make an attempt at culture . . . I’ll fo’ sho’ see a Broadway show, since hi there! I’m Kate. I’m in love with Broadway. I’m also planning a trip to The Met, which I’ve (shh don’t tell) never been to before. There also an LDS Temple in Manhattan which I am planning to spend some time at as well. I’s very excited.

So, on Friday the 13th, off I fly. I’m not really a superstitious person, but I’m sort of hoping everyone else is so that I have a plane to myself. I’m not counting on it, but a girl can dream, right??
