January 28th Third days-soup-sushi

Sitting in a Starbucks on 5th Ave. Sounds really posh - but in the end 5th is just a street (nice parts, and less nice parts). I'm waiting for my lovely roommate Lindy. She is very sweet and invited me to dinner with her two best friends. We're going to have sushi - let's hope good sushi otherwise I'll be traumatized for life.
But Lindy: she is very talkative, very sweet. She works for the designer Reem Acra in the bridal department, and often comes home full of stories:)

A reason why life here is in NY is expensive - it's not outragous..but it is so easy to get something. 1. For lunch I went out to get soup (check out: www.haleandhearty.com) because it is easy, delicious and pretty healthy. And i haven't gotten around to buy nutricious takeable stuff yet. 2. I just had Starbucks coffee because I needed to wait somewhere and don't want to sit here without buying a drink - and frankly, a portion of caffeine was not totall unnecessary and 3. I'll be going out for diner: 2nd time this week! Anyway, it's the so-called good life:)

the man next to me is ratteling in Spanish - I really should take classes!

And yeah, work has improved a bit. My boss and I are connecting a bit more. I ask about EVERYTHING - but hey, I'm here to learn. I asked if could sit in on the store managers meeting for the strategic part, and she said I could sit in the whole day! Let's hope it will be VERY informative!

My tea this morning (celestial seasonings, compliments from Escada) provided a good quote today: "Live in each season as it passes; breath the air; drink the drink; taste the fruit." - Henry Davind Thoreau. This is my NYC season - and I'm grateful for it:)
