Quote of the week: "When I do morning radio to promote a show, there's always the Morning Zoo guy, and out of one side of his mouth he'll say, 'You know, normally I don't think chicks are funny, but you're pretty funny.' To which I always say, 'Really? Would you say to a black person, "Normally I'd think you were lazy and shiftless, but you seem to work hard"?' And then they always just go to commercial." - Kathy Griffin

5 things that happened this week:

1. I met up with a new acquaintance this week to hash out plans for a book club that we want to start. I'm excited! She's a super nice person and is married too and is from the Midwest like me and very charity-minded. I hope that we get some people to come!

2. I had some free time between work and the meeting so I walked up Madison Avenue sipping my blueberry, chocolate, and graham cracker blender from Red Mango and made my way to Grand Central where I began a guided walk tour (just me and my New York walking cards). The cards took me past the Chrysler Building and instructed me to go inside. It was pretty cool! Then I walked past a building housing plants and a cool elevated part of the city to the UN building, which I've already had a tour of. Then I walked back to Grand Central and checked out the inside. My mom once did a tour of Grand Central and she said it was very interesting! My goal for this year is to do at least 3 walking tours using my cards and I've already done 2, so I think I'm in good shape.

3. Mike got sick Thursday so I stayed home with him and drove him to the doctor. We're blaming it on the meatball sandwich he ate the night before.

4. I had a lot to do at work today and more still to do next week! It's nice having lots of work. Kept me busy and migraine free!

5. It's my mom's birthday today! woo hoo!
