The Official End of My Spring Break

I've been on an extended spring break since quitting my job and returning from Africa. The cool thing is, spring break has been way better than when I was actually in college. Here's why...

1. I'm of legal drinking age, no need to worry that my id won't be accepted or even worse, I'll get arrested (again...)

2. I was in Africa for two months, that beats Cancun and Fort Lauderdale any time

3. When I came back from Africa, I was in New York, again, much better place to have fun than Cancun and Fort Lauderdale

4. I can handle my booze better than I did in college. And there is this little thing that I have now called tolerance

5. No crowds, annoying drunk sorority girls, or MTV present (there may have been some fraternity boys...)

6. It's been 4 months, not just one week

As I spend my last day of freedom before re-entering the working world, I am sad to leave my late nights out until 4am, weekday brunches, the O.C., and the luxury of working out in the middle of the day, everyday, behind. Time to pack away the good memories, put my brain back into my head, and get back out into the world.

The Modern Day Mix Tape

Remember the days when the mix tape was popular? I used to make tons of them, but never did I have one made for me. Sad! That is until now.

There is this guy I have seen a few time over the past month. He's sweet and seems totally enamored with me. As he came over last night, he looked into his bag, letting me know he has something for me. Out comes his Ipod and a playlist named Molly... I squeal - Oh my God! You made me a mix tape! He looks at me with a crooked, confused look. Did I mention he is a bit younger (probably too young for knowledge of cassette tapes).

Either way, it's a fabulous mix. Kept me smiling throughout the night, as he explained why he put each song on the list, and promised me a CD of the playlist.

Swoon! Simple pleasures in the new year!

It's been a year...

As The Unsinkable Molly Brown turns 1 year old, I want to thank those of you who have followed my adventures, lived vicariously through me, or added to my stories and my life.

Stay tuned this new year for fun times out, the occasionally poor decision making, and endless adventures!
