Friendsies Post

So I like my friends.  They're great. 

Like my friend Melanie.  She moved here a year ago, and we became friends pretty quickly.  She's funny, kind, loves food, and would do anything for anyone.  I'm glad to have her here.  For her 1 year anniversary in the city, she decided to to a 10K.  But not a race.  A 10K of her favorite places to eat in NYC.  So we met at Prosperity Dumpling in Chinatown and worked our way through the city, eating at 6 different places; one for every mile of a 10K.  It was so fun, and hysterical.  I did a pretty good job of pacing myself.  I also started out STARVING so I had a head start, I would say.  But it was a great way to celebrate Melanie.

Their signage is pretty great...

Then there is my friend Carolyn.  Her birthday is a few days before mine, and we surprised her at her apartment with Koronets pizza and ice cream, and a Levain cookie.  Well, I showed up later after a class, but you know.  I was there in spirit.  Carolyn is someone that I love.  She is so genuine and darling, and GOOD.  She helps me keep perspective on things that are important.  And she makes me laugh.  

I like them.  I think I will keep them.
