"I Like My Burgers Rare."

A good friend of mine was the main force behind me starting this blog...under one condition...

I couldn't be negative. 

If any of you know me, that was virtually impossible until I found the yogi within. Now it is a struggle, but sometimes I can dig deep down and find Positive Patty instead of Negative Nancy. Therefore, I am going to try my best to talk about the 4 hours last night, which were the best moments in the last 4 days. 

A precursor to this story is that it rained Sunday, I was severely hungover, and I have spent the last 3 days working for my boss, who just returned from 2 weeks away (after only working with me for 3 days before leaving). My boss also made me cry today, which I thought only my ex-boyfriend was capable of doing. Now for the 'good' story (Sorry 'friend!'..had to let it out, and why not in cyber space?!)

After another seemingly endless day at work, I ran to meet a close friend who was in NYC for an interview. I walked another 20+ blocks (adding to the 9-6 walk-a-thon I had just completed), hopped on a bus, and then practically ran over a few bystanders to leap across Lexington to meet her. We decided on a restaurant I usually frequent at brunch to eat a dinner that rivaled their omelets and french toast. 

I haven't seen this friend, or any of my other University friends in five months. I miss them beyond belief, and getting to spend an evening catching up with one was worth every moment of pain (from walking around with quarter-sized blisters all day)...and quite a bit more! There were several other 'perks' to dinner including my glass of red vino, extremely rare burger, and the adorable bar tender named Kermit? Yes, he uses the pen-name Kermie, because his real name is just 'too' common. After hearing there's no Miss Piggie, you better believe I will be attending this venue at night again, in addition to my Sunday, late afternoon haunts. I am also not going to disclose his real name in the event we should meet again...

(insert song 'Moving Right Along' - a Muppet Movie)

The evening ended with a late night chat at my apartment, where my friend was staying the night. I miss her already, but am looking forward to another friend visiting next week...and for the weekend, of course!
