woo hoo!

Today was a day in which I thought to myself "woo hoo!" several times.

I a new client. Then I walked outside and it was strangely warm. Like, really warm. During the last two months I've gotten really used to wearing a big coat and honestly, I really like it. It's like getting used to wearing a watch or carrying a bag. You feel strange without it.

So, to see guys walking around in white "T" shirts, and a girl wearing flip flops, a spaghetti strap sundress with a cardigan -- well, it really freaked me out. I saw a girl wearing boots without leggings. No leggings! I've only seen them worn with leggings!

I panicked slightly, as I realized I have only figured out how to dress in New York in the winter. I've never been here in the summer, so would have no clue what to wear. Then I saw a few people in the distance still wearing down coats, pea coats, etc. I remembered there is still a long winter ahead. These people are just thrilled to break out their Summer clothes for a few hours.

I went to the gym and it is a tiny, tiny little gym. They have maybe a total of 10 eliptical machines on either side. And it gets crowded so they have a 30 minute limit. People actually wait for the machines.

Walking home, there was a little girl with white tights with red hearts on them sitting on an older man's shoulders. I wasn't sure if it was her dad or grandfather, but he was telling her, "You have to work hard to build a bright future for yourself." It made me smile. She must have been three or four and he was talking to her like an adult. But I liked the message and I wish more girls got to hear that sort of thing at that age.
