What I learned over summer vacation:
post a comment | posted Jun 27
1. Never go 5 years without seeing people you love as much as I love Sunday & Mike. If Sunday ever offers to make anything food related for you, do not say no.
2. a) never fly Delta, b) never check luggage on a connecting flight- we finally got our stuff one day before we came home, c) never give up when some sour airline agent tells you you're just gonna be stuck indefinitely in a Detroit layover and there's not shit he can do about it (thank you helpful little new guy we finally got at Delta... even if you did make us taxi from Kennedy to La Guardia to catch an equally delayed flight), and finally
d) never ever ever fly Delta (worth repeating a bazillion times).
3. Never check your email when you're really having an excellent time on vacation. The bill monster will in fact eat your happiness for breakfast. Watch out for the work boogey as well.
4. Visit the Midwest- it contains the most genuinely nice people you'll ever be confused by. Oh, and its pretty.
5. Never underestimate the power of Atton- he's a little powerhouse of sweetness and talent that has the ability to turn any dire situation he might find himself in into a ridiculous opportunity (I'll be visiting that upstate farmhouse as soon as you're settled honey). And entertain you to pieces in the process.
6. Eat at Panna ll, a super cute Indian restaurant in East Village (93 1st ave). There's barely enough headroom to seat you due to the millions of christmas lights that serve as the only lighting in the place (not to mention hanging godzillas)- but if you're not claustrophobic you'll get the cheapest tasty Malai Kofta you've ever had.
7. Don't visit NYC unless you want to move there- it'll break your heart to come home (yep, that's my broke ass ticker you see there- anybody wanna pass on a Manhattan/Brooklyn/Astoria 1 bedroom? ok, how about a design jobby job in the city for a nice girl? hmmm?)
8. If you go on vacation from a place you'd rather not come back to, try to have 2 beautiful doggies waiting for you when you get home, it takes the edge off.
A little.
