Listening to this song on repeat on my phone, in my head, in my heart ...

Ingrid Michaelson - Maybe

Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go

Maybe you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back

You're gonna come back

I still feel you on the right side of the bed

And I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head

But I'm gonna wash away, oh I'm gonna wash away

Everything till you come home to me

Maybe in the future you're gonna come back

You're gonna come back

In the future you're gonna come back

You're gonna come back ... to me

An update post - 8/23/13

Been up to a bunch of stuff over the last week or so. 

First celebrated moms birthday at the start of the week. We got her a subscription to Birchbox and a photo book of our girls trip to London and Paris (which sadly came in 1 day too late but we showed her on the computer!)

Then the rest of the week has been chill with work so I decided to go to bingo in Brooklyn. It was some old. school. bingo. 

Then today we woke up and found out a taxi had crashed into the side of our building overnight!! Wtf!!

Have a busy but fun weekend ahead of me ... Can't believe summer is coming to an end. 

Emotionally I've had a bit of a rough week. I think I'm past the devastation and now am just sad and trying to cope with that. Especially every night before I go to sleep. And hoping I can win him back somehow. Lame but true. Step by step and day by day surviving ... And hoping. And coping. 

One of my favorite quotes ...

"They say that you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Think about that for a minute: who would be in your circle of 5?"

From Drew Houston's MIT commencement speech, 2013

San Francisco

Was in San Fran for work this week and decided to extend the stay to see some fabulous friends - SR, SHC and NG. It was really nice to see them all even though one night I had to cancel because I just wasn't feeling up to it and needed some time to be sad and alone. I felt bad (and still do a little) but alas such is life and I can only do what I can do. Some pictures:

Me and little Dylan. Could eat this kid up. 

Me and roomie number 1, miss her lots!!

Me and roomie number 2, miss her lots too!

BBQ-ing in the park for roomie number 2's birthday!

And playing piñata!

T minus 16 hours ...

... Until a long stressful 2 months of work ends and gets back to some regularity. Right now I am coping here: 

Quote that would be my Facebook status right now

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

View from my workspace now ...

My view as I work this evening and mehndi from BP's wedding

Family friends wedding - so fun!

Last night we went to the wedding of a family friend we grew up with. It was so awesome hanging out with and dancing with friends that are like cousins and that we have known for ages. Definitely burned off some good calories too. Looking forward to taking trips to Florida and stuff to stay in touch even better - and maybe even planning yearly reunions. Congrats BP and R and thanks for a fabulous time!

Back at it

Since I'm off Facebook for a while I thought I'd reactivate this to at least keep a log of what I've been doing lately. Looking back at Facebook is kind of looking back at a journal and I don't like not having that. Can't promise much in terms of regularity or great writing since its basically for myself. 

Here's some random stuff:

Last weekend Annie, Poops, Arpi and I went to Hershey PA to see justin timberlake and jayz on concert. They were AMAZING. and then the next day we went to the beach, which was pretty awesome too.
