Thanksgiving 2008

I haven't really been up to much.

My thanksgiving weekend was ho-hum. Highlights:

Wednesday night, I went to a party, some professional young people's event that cost me $10.99. Big mistake. One of the worst times I've had in a long time. Nightclub scene at 34 is not fun AT ALL. They were charging $5 for a coat check and $6 to park. Not a good look walking around a party with your coat in your hand. Needless to say I am advising everyone reading this  30+ to avoid their events like a plague.

Went to bed at 2am and woke up extra early on Thanksgiving morning to bake a cornish hen which turned out tasteless. The rest of the food which I made was just blah. Thanked God for a tumultuous albeit lonesome year. We were done eating at 4pm. Took a walk around the block to work off some of the food. Saw people having a better time than I did. Went to the movies, saw Transporter 3. Not very good, either.

Friday, woke up early. Again. Tried to catch these Cole Haan boots on sale at Dillard's. The price was still the same from before Black Friday. Dillard's only store in the United States not offering any Black Friday specials. Went shoe shopping at Neiman Marcus, oh joy, designer shoes on sale. Couldn't bring myself to paying $140 for a pair of Tory Burch red pumps. I am just stingy like that. 

Saturday, finally hit the gym for a 20 minutes tops. Losing one calorie working out is better than night, right? Went back to the mall. More joy, Saks Fifth Avenue had a half off sale on designer shoes. Spent an hour day dreaming and role playing with some Jimmy Choos and Miu Miu's. Still could not bring myself to splurging on any of them. I just have the spending blues I think or maybe it's that protracted conversation I had with the annoying folks at my credit card company that has got me rethinking my spending habits. 

Had dinner at Seasons 52 with me Ma. Mother enjoyed it more than I did. Food was not cooked for food enthusiasts more for diet enthusiasts. But I had a coupon from my good friends at AMEX so I can't complain too much.

Sunday. Living in hope that the UN will look at me with pity. Yes, I still hope and strive for that UN career. Realized I may have a crush on someone. What should I do?
