Today was a guy in my office's last day with the company, so we had a going away party for him. So drunk! I love bar tabs! Where is my metro card?

Tried a Mexican place near the office for lunch. It was alright, but it really made me miss California-style Mexican!

When I was walking around the other day I passed a place that I thought looked really cute, Lili's Noodle Shop. I didn't have time before my movie to try it, so I grabbed a take-out menu. I ordered from there tonight...I will not order from them again. Blech.

I talked to my brother yesterday, and he told me all about his fun thrift shop finds. I got jealous, so after I did a load of laundry I headed down to So Ho for some shopping. I didn't find anything, but it was to fun explore a new area. Since I was so close, I decided to walk to China Town to see the New Year's parade...I lasted about 5 minutes. It was totally packed, and SO cold. On my way back to the subway, however, I passed a Dean and Deluca, so I rewarded myself with some chocolate covered coconut macaroons. SO GOOD!
