ok so apparently
i have been slacking, 
i've had like 6 people this week ask me
how i'm doing, because i haven't updated my blog in a few weeks.
i had no idea so many people were following me.
haha.
this is going to be a LONG post,
but now i'll catch you guys up...
work is still going great. we have seriously been so insanely busy, it gets busier and busier each day. i've had to step it up a few notches. but its been great because i have gotten to get my hands into so much more. i think i've been involved of just about every detail and aspect of design. before coming here i had no idea just how much goes into the design process and how important it is to stay on top of things and be organized.
i absolutely love the relationships i have gained from my internship. the ladies i work with are a hoot. i seriously consider them my friends and am sad when i think about leaving them in two weeks. we are constantly giggling or telling each other stories.
we even share brainwaves.
sometimes we show up wearing similar outfits. we crave the same things: ice cream sandwiches, diet coke, and chocolate covered almonds.
i love our office vibe.
last week the street in front of our office was closed to traffic because they were filming a tv series. it was just me and olga in the office for the afternoon so we decided we'd run downstairs and scope out the celebrities. as we were reading through the casting list, we immediately found a name that was familiar to us, and we INSTANTLY got the giggles.
our conversation went a little like this.
o: "he is so 'dum' cute!"
me: "oh my heck i know!"
o: "no seriously, he is so 'dum' cute!"
me: "his eyes.."
o:" OH HIS EYES. SO 'DUM' CUTE!"
we run back up to the office and started googling pictures of him. before we know it, 3 others from the other office had wandered in and were enjoying the eye candy as well. me and olga still laugh about our celebrity crush and sometimes we send each other emails of pictures of him or funny things during the day and patiently wait for each other to open the email and we both just bust up laughing from across the room.
truth is, i love this woman. her accent, her personality, and her laugh. i love hearing her laugh.
the sr. designer, susan, asked me the other day who my favorite designers were...
i start naming a few..
and then i finish off the list with her name.
she went silent.
i look over at her
she was like seriously dying with laughter.
so then i got the giggles.
the office was looking at us like "what the heck are these girls laughing about?"
she could all but try to explain to them what was so funny.
"she.. lisha..she said i was one of her favorite designers...."
as she continued laughing.
all day she just kept saying,
"lisha, i had no idea you were this funny."
it is one of the most satisfying feelings when you are able to make someone laugh.
amongst all the laughter, we still manage to get the job done.
i seriously am so grateful for my office environment, especially hearing the horror stories from the other girls' situations this summer.
this past week i had the pleasure (sarcasm) of cataloging all the bolts of fabric from left over projects. it took me a good 3 days, haha.
i only go to work 8 more days. how crazy is that? i'm looking forward to a client meeting wednesday, and preparing for our install the following wednesday and my farewell luncheon the day i leave. these next two weeks are going to ZIP right past me.
it's a bittersweet feeling.
this past week, kade, my son,
(haha that's what me and alex call him. we constantly refer to kade & gelyn as our children)
came for a visit.
he's been like a brother to me this past year as i have gotten to know him better.
it's been so good to see another familiar face from home. i'm glad he got to visit. kade, janna, and i have had a jam packed week. trying to cram as many events as possible into 5 days, has all but worn me out.
its been funny to see his reaction to things here in new york, it seriously is a whole other world over here.
here's what we did this week:
sprinkles cupcake shop. oh my gosh. SO GOOD.
i had a banana cupcake.
hands down, best cupcake i have EVER HAD.
the highline.
went to the top of the rockefeller center.
SO MANY PRETTY LIGHTS.
if you ever get the chance, GO!
FAO Schwartz. BIGGEST TOY STORE!
we found a random bike taken over by the "knitting society." these people are hilarious. they go around knitting around random things, light poles, benches, and sometimes even people...
grimaldi's pizza & walking the brooklyn bridge. :)
all in all, a great week. hope he's had fun! the closer i get to going home, the more and more antsy i become.
i can't wait to enjoy the last few weeks of summer in burley.
with family and friends.
haha i seriously am SO giddy.
regan text me this week and said,
"don't be surprised if i attack you when i see you."
totally made my day.
i'll probably be in culture shock for the first little bit.
being able to look completely around me and see
MOUNTAINS AND LAND,
not BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE.
i can't wait for bonfires, sun valley, MY MOM'S COOKING, harman family parties, the cassia county fair, DRIVING, nice people, catching up with friends and family.
things i have missed so so so much.
bahhhhh....
i'm a little excited if you couldn't tell.
this has definitely been such a learning experience for me and i wouldn't trade it for anything.
i feel like a whole new person. i have learned to appreciate so much.
my good friend alex said to me the other day,
"lish, you are so strong now, i'm just glad you're on my side. people better watch out!"
haha it's true, new york has given me a backbone.
let's hope i can find a happy medium..
don't want to scare off too many people. haha.
and am so ready to start school again and enter the next phase..
the week i leave, aspen is coming to spend a few days with me.
i cannot wait to have some time with her, before we both get home, and she gets married.
14 days left in the city.
8 days of work.
but who's counting?
see ya'll soon :)
