8:41 My iPod dies right as I'm hopping onto subway ride #1. I say, "Oh, man!" out loud. Oy.

9:05 Call my mom.
9:06 Open email and start writing my daily to do list.
9:44 Run a brush through my mop top.

11:03 Snacktime! Reach for a pack of Annie's Cheddar Bunnies.
12:37 A man on the street compliments my intern and I, telling us we are beautiful. When we don't respond with anything other than "Thanks," he pitches a fit that if he were in a suit, we'd be all over him. (He was in a white tank and jeans, for the record.)
12:40 I run into a dear friend while in line for lunch. We catch up while waiting for our salads.
12:53 Settle back at my desk with my Teddi Salad. (Which, by the way, if you're wondering, is: organic greens, carrots, corn, garbanzo beans, parmigiano, and grilled shrimp with honey balsamic dressing.) Can't eat out today because I want to leave work on time.
1:05 I find out that Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche on The Golden Girls, has passed away. Heartbroken.

4:39 Snacktime! Cottage cheese.
6:13 Hop on the subway.
6:22 Meet a girlfriend at the Theory sample sale.
6:30 I find an amazing pair of leather shorts. I am under the impression that they are $70 and prepare to purchase.
6:31 I discover that they are in fact $200 and boo. Loudly.
6:35 We decide it's overpriced, as most Clothingline sample sales are and leave in search of food and alcohol.

9:03 Bubble bath!
9:17 Paint my nails with Essie Sugar Daddy.

10:02 Smile big when I see that Ramona is renewing her vows at The Pierre. That's where my parents got married!
