3004
It's been several days since I last blogged so let's recap:
Christmas was a blur, felt just like any other day. In addition, losing a loved one around the holidays was very difficult for me and my family. Catching the after Christmas sales cheered me up a bit. I must say gift cards are great gifts for a woman that loves shopping. :)
NYE 2011 started off great but turned ugly. Not sure what was worse: the side effects of the medication or my throbbing migraine. I ended up with a horrible reaction from the pain medication which knocked me down for the majority of the weekend. But in between my bouts of nausea and sleep I watched my friends get ready and I thought about making the best of my last night in the year 2011. I slowly did my hair and makeup and threw on my party outfit just to lay back down again. But during that time I realized I have the most AMAZING friends. Just being in their presence made things a little better. We stayed on the 30th floor of the Trump Soho Hotel, room 3004, with the most beautiful view of the New York City skyline and the river. After the countdown my beau surprised me with a bottle of my favorite perfume, Bond No. 9 Saks Fifth Avenue En Rose! The next day we went to brunch at Peaches restaurant in Brooklyn. I could finally eat again and Peaches has THE best french toast!
I didn't get to party hard or get wasted, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Some didn't make it to 2012, but I did, and I'm glad I spent the last days of 2011 and the first of 2012 with incredible people.
