day #12: times, they are a changin'

ugggh, i'm late again! but i'm still doing it, still keepin on writing, and it makes me feel good that i can continually keep this promise to myself (goals!). for my challenge on tuesday, i had planned to go to staten island to have dinner with a few friends. i did a little research and narrowed it down to beso (spanish tapas) or enoteca maria (italian made by grandmothers - literally. not chefs, grandmas.), and had also planned to MAYBE stop by the drunken monkey, big ang from mob wives' bar. the staten island ferry ride is free and it's a great way to see a different angle of NY - the NY skyline, the statue of liberty, ellis island, etc. it's GREAT for visiting guests, a highlight on the trip to do something new yawk-y. and they even have a bar on board. keep it classy, staten island. 

unfortunately, i didn't make it. i am a procrastinator and i found out on tuesday afternoon that the only time slot for the movers to come was between 11a-3p on wednesday morning. so i had to forgo the challenge to be able to go home and finishing packing in time for the movers. sometimes, you just hafta be an adult (30s!). so what i did do, was order in from one of my favorite places (tre), and catch up on all of the DVR i had recorded while i packed. tuesday night would be my last night in my apartment.

i really got nostalgic packing up the last of my things. deciding what i wanted to keep and what i felt i could now live without. i think i've outgrown living in the LES, but i still get a little teary thinking about leaving. times, they are a changin. i'm writing this entry from greenpoint, as my friend chris was kind enough to let me stay at his place while he's gone. and i'm looking forward to exploring the neighborhood and gathering info on what it would be like to live here. and thus begin-eth my greenpoint vacation.

day 12 - complete.  

xoxo
