little weekend getaway, i am grateful for you.
it feels strange to even be saying this because it is so surreal to me - one of my very best friends (old roommate in l.a) is moving from oregon to nyc today! together, we have been counting down the days to her big move, & now that its here. well. its just plain awesome. waking up, i felt like a five year old on christmas morning. i woke up at 5 & was utterly overwhelmed with excitement.joy.anxiousness. i love mallory. she brings living to life. you should know, i renamed her mallory james. it was just one of those weird.random things that rolled off my tongue one day and it stuck. i love it. mallory james...hmm. she is courageous. free. and so confident. so much fun just to be around. the fact that i will be in nyc with her, her first day, first time to the east coast- it wont feel real till i'm squeezing her in my arms. laughing. hugging. catching up over a cheap bottle of no name wine. i cant wait to show her favorite parks.coffeeshops.stores. my favorite (tiny.busy.hole in the wall) deli in union square (conveniently located right behind a spectacular farmers market) that has the best chicken salad grinders ever, loaded with that shredded crisp fresh lettuce. give her good little tid bits of useful information. show her how to ride the (kind of creepy) metro. bring her to an amazing bakery with delicious treats, where we will sit & talk about anything and everything that seems important at the time. you know.. those little things that are so grand. its been over a year since we've seen eachother. i cant wait. i'll be catching a train in a couple of hours, & will be sure to bring my new camera. (otherwise known as, my bebe) i will also be sure to bribe mallory into playing model for me ;) alright. i'm hot to trot. off to the city i go. grinning all the way.
