Couldn't be happier...

So today I also spent one of the best days I've ever had in Manhattan. I may not be a part of the hipster/chiptole-eating(:/)/art-making/vodka-drinking group that our friend IdA is currently involved with, but I've had some memorable moments in the city. I've seen many upon many amazing broadway shows, visited the Christmas tree as it lightly and beautifully snowed, spent quality time with my family (father in particular) and friends, shopped 'til i dropped (literally), and even survived a devastating snow storm with the Schmelter that resulted in nothing but wind burn and a closer bond... yes, i've had all of these amazing times but today's experience is challenging all these times for the number one spot... and that is quite the challenge.

I took the subway to Union Square toward the end of my day today (me on the subway? i know i couldn't believe it either). As i sat at a beautiful fountain, resting my feet from a longgg day, I awaited the arrival of my best friend. The frantic searching for Mr. IdA was unbearable, but worth it for the moment that was to follow. Yes, we may have embarassed ourselves, but the screaching noises that surprisingly escaped my mouth were in reponse to the amazing relief/happiness/joy/every feeling that I got from seeing him in real life. It sounds weird, but I felt more complete once we were walking and gabbing again... so yes IdA, you complete me.

From there, the IdA MYSTERY TOUR OF WONDER AND EXCITEMENT (PART 1 and a half) began. I say it was part 1 and a half because a key part was missing... ProducePete. Now that i reflect, it really wasn't the same with out him there. But, now that the depressing part of the tour is over let us procede. From Union Square, the place where IdA drinks vodka sometimes and is not nearly as excting as it may seem, we saw a Whole Foods where IdA sometimes buys food and a very large Trader Joes which was dubbed "the modern age Studio 54" because it is so hard to get into... so, we walked on. I saw the beautiful residence halls of NYU including the 3rd street tower south (?), and many others, but i can tell you one things about them, IdA's room is as nice as he describes with a beautiful view of "that random church you can see out my window" and there is a building called Brittany. Now, I can also say i have seen the Chase bank where IdA gets his money from, the art supplies place IdA buys his art supplies from, the liquor store that doesn't always card you, m2m the japanese store where IdA buys things to eat like "Pretz ... " ( i can't remember the full name of that snack... I knew I shouldn't have written this blog), Sister A's apartment, the video store they have so many "movies" at that are cheap (apparently they are actually real movies), the place where IdA bought his sunglasses, the place where IdA does yoga for free on his roommates yoga mat, Webster Hall which is totally right near his place of living, and the inside of a Chipotle where I consumed its food for the first time ever. I know, this is a lot to take in, especially because I have forgotten a lot of places I saw today. But, i don't really think its the actual places that matter in these mystery tours, its the time you spend with IdA that makes all the time worth while. I really could not have thought of a better way to spend the night.

And if this wasn't enough, yet another screaching running hello moment occured later that night after the tour. The location: The Port Authority, The characters: Me (Frau), IdA, Anne Frank, and Commander Cool. Let's just say Anne Frank and IdA had an accident which resulted in them falling to the ground and let's say that hugs from long lost (exaggeration) friends were the most amazing gift the beautiful day in Manhattan could have given me. Ahhhhhh. It's so nice to be home. Expect another post on the awesomeness that is tomorrow as well.


You know you love me.
XOXO,
Frau




ProPete- I miss you.
Love, Frau
