Other stuff...

I've had fun playing soccer lately. It's nice to have a small group of people I know there, and my boyfriend has been playing with us also, so that's fun!

We went to the "beach" last weekend. It's actually a large sandbox that overlooks a river with boats going by. It has all of the essentials though: sand, drinks, snacks. And it's walking distance from my boyfriend's place. So that's pretty much awesome. All of the other real and fake beaches are much, much farther away.

I'm trying to get rid of stuff and organize my things and it's so tough! I'm not a naturally organized person, so it takes me extra effort to figure out where to put/store things. Especially papers. I have a giant pile. I'm afraid to even look in there.

I'm liking the summer, despite it being super hot. It's such a change from cold weather, and I like the variety.

It's interesting how when it's 80 or 90 degrees, people here start to freak out. But that's still bearable weather, unlike AZ's occasional 120!!

I'm going to be visiting AZ soon in fact, and really looking forward to that! yay. I usually only go back once a year and choose either Christmas or Thanksgiving. So this is nice to do the twice a year thing.

Went to a fun wine/pasta class w/ my bf this weekend also. They teach you to make pasta from scratch (which seems like a lot of work to me), but we got to create bow-tie pasta from the dough and then they cooked it and we ate it. That was fun! And the wine was really fun of course too ;) And then we went to a VERY tasty sushi place that was delicious! And also a nice Tribecca bar that was fun as it was a different scene.

My bf also bought a vespa scooter. I'm hoping it's safe and I don't end up with half a face or something, but assuming it's safe, it'll be a fun way to get around. It should be much faster than the subway on weekends, etc.

So things are pretty good at the moment! :)
