in my dreams...

my birthday is just a month away (july 19th), so i thought i would just jot down my dream birthday weekend. of course, i've already checked out prices on our trusted megabus and they're too expensive. i know it can't happen this year, but maybe if i put it out there, the nyc gods will find a way ;) my ideal day in the city would consist of some of my favorite things, including, but not limited to:

breakfast and coffee at our favorite coffee shop; mud.

crème brûlée doughnuts from doughnut plant.

rowing in central park.

maybe a pizza at grimaldi's.

i would also like to try a cronut, just because. obviously this list shows that i love nyc food. i would add seeing the book of mormon, because i've wanted to since it came out 2 years ago, but umm a pair of tickets is like, $500. yeah, no.  that's about 1.5 months of groceries!

all that said, my number one reason for wanting to go is to see the rain room exhibit. it finishes on july 28, and who knows if it will ever make an appearance in nyc again. it's just so darn cool looking. and i kind of want a romantic kissing picture.

a girl can dream!

*updated to add: i recently found a place called sweet revenge on yelp. it serves cupcakes and wine. and they have red velvet waffles with whipped cream cheese. sold*

today...

i'm pretty sure i would love to be tucked away in a little cabin/cottage right about now.

but instead, i'll lounge in my parents backyard with dylan and chloe. it's supposed to be about 27 degrees and 'feel like' 35 degrees. i need some color on my legs. and the temp is just going up and up the next few days. wonderful. you know what that means? boob sweat. i hate that. (way to ruin what started off as a cute little post).

i wish...

i wish i could put off finding a job until september so i could spend one last summer doing this...

now that would be amazing.
