sorry i haven't posted in a while, i have been either too tired to or not had the time. so thursday night i had dinner with clinton and his father at a place called compagnolas. i got off work at 730 and didn't want to go home for only ten minutes so i took a cab up to the restaurant which was in the upper east side i ended up getting there super early. so i ordered a glass of wine and had a seat at the bar. it was a very interesting crowd, country club men and women. as i took a seat i met a nice man whose date hadn't arrived yet. as we got to talking he told me he had served as a fire fighter and police officer for the city of new york. shortly after his date arrived who turned about being his employer rather than his date. he is and was not only a police officer and firefighter but a detective. he is a detective at the same company that served as ab lincolns body guards. the lady that he was accompanying had 20 million dollars of art stolen from her including a faberge egg. crazy. after mingling with them for a while clinton and his dad showed up. we sat at a round table close to the front of the restaurant. i was intimidated because i hadn't ever conversed with mr vandevander other than briefly. clinton was quite the charmer complimenting me on my dress, my looks etc. ha he knows how to make a woman feel good. mr. v ordered two extremely nice italian wines and we ate steak. after a lovely time, we made our way to the carlisle hotel which was a few blocks away. there was a jazz band and we enjoyed the lively music as we sipped on port. this was my first time to drink port and i dont know if i like it much. it was so nice being around fellow mississippians and having two nice gentlemen to take care of me. the next day i woke early and met kallie and scott for lunch. we had burgers and fries and i dont regret one minute of it. after we met john and made our way to the met. the met had a fascinating picasso exhibit and an 'american woman' exhibit as well. we spent 5 HOURS in the met. one picasso peice brought me to tears-it is the man with the mustache and the yellow background. look at it, what emotion to you get by looking at it. for me it was such a simple peice but the emotion and thought behind it was soo very strong. afterwards i met up with matt and tc at the tribeca tavern. tc has lots of friends in town so i got to meet them. they were nice, but very different. we went to firefly and gatsbys and didn't end up getting home until late. there is one very cute one that rode back with me to rubin. he is one floor above me and i hope i can see him again :)

finally yesterday i had a me day, i slept late, went to a french cafe la pain quotidien. the cafe o laits there melt in your mouth. i had a breakfast quiche which was very delicious. as i was walking home i passed a yoga studio. ishta yoga. i decided to go in and check out the prices. ended up they had a special first month $60 unlimited! how amazing? i did two classes yesterday one beginner/intermediate and one restorative. after me john, ashli, blake and stacy went to cafeteria. it was fun but some people were complaining about the price and that made it awkward. when people are sour it makes an entire dinner unenjoyable! met up with rachel and elizabeth went to this super fun place called the pianos. hipster people, cheap drinks. fun. t

today i slept late again, me and my room mate were going to go to central park but it was a rainy day. we wanted to stay close by in case there was a down pour. we walked to washington square park but the lawn was closed and we had taken a blanket bc we wanted to lay. we decided to walk to union square and found a place to put our sheet down. there was a comedy show going on so we sat and listened, very vulgar, of course the rain came and we had to leave. came back did laundry, cleaned, went to a sample sell at tucker. got a top for 20 that was originally 250 saw a super model alek wek at the sample show. met the designer of tucker, super cool and nice. on way back me ashli and kallie stopped by a spanish place got a salad and now in the room about to dive into my clean sheats. yayyyyyyyy love yall
