today my good girlfriend sam and i are off to see these guys.
and have vegan pizza beforehand. (sam knows all the coolest places in nyc).
before any of that happens i'm treating myself: making my bed. big latte. perhaps a manicure? and wandering around a new york city inundated with cool, fresh air.
sometimes i have to remind myself that when i get a day off, it's not just a day off, it's a day off in a city that people from all over the world come to see. so...day-stay-vacay. or something.

What a perfect stay-vacation! Sometimes my fiance and I pretend we are tourists in DC without a care in the world. It's the best. Soak it in. Enjoy the changing of the seasons!
Lovely thoughts--and good for you for treating yourself.
It's a good reminder, really. I'm living in the city I always wanted to live in, and people are here vacationing all the time. I have the mountains less than an hour away for Pete's sake. I need to do a better job of appreciating this every day.
I'll be seeing The Lumineers in LA in a couple weeks! They were great the last time I saw them (I think I even heard of them through your blog. :)).
Have a great day!
Enjoy your day!! :)
that is such a lovely reminder! i feel like that with boston all the time. this week alone has basically made me believe that i merit a day like that as well. i think an egg sandwich, a hot milky tea, and a stroll through the common are extremely needed :)
That sounds like a perfect day to me. And yes, I would love to visit New York. So today I'll live vicariously through you and enjoy wandering those streets with my big latte. Thanks!
Sporadic manicures are key! I treated myself today, too. I was walking to get an ice cream (I finally checked into a hotel, instead of a dorm so thought I'd celebrate by eating icecream in bed with no one to judge me) and saw a food massage place on the way. Decided, why not? And sat down and enjoyed the best hour $5 has ever bought. Life is to be enjoyed, let's indulge xx
foot massage* jesus you know where my brain's at tonight haha
enjoy it - i live for days like that!
I love the Lumineers!
Your day sounds awesome! I always forget how cool Seattle is until I have friends who come and get excited about doing the tourist stuff I walk by and ignore everyday.
Enjoy your stay-cation!
day-stay-vacay, I like it!
Have fun.
sounds like a perfect day off. every time i take a vacation day, it's either to travel somewhere or filled up with appointments and must-dos. before this baby comes, i'm taking a vacation day for myself. you have inspired me!!
I have a day off today, but it's going to filled up with errands and boring but necessary things I need to get done. I'll live vicariously through you for today. Sigh. It will be my turn soon, i hope.
Have an awesome day-stay-vacay!!! :o) it sounds like it'll be awesome! I've been listening to Elouise on repeat for some reason lately.
Have fuuuun! :o)
that's how I felt whenever I got a day off in the city this summer...it was incredible.
Enjoy! Would love to hear about the vegan pizza place, I've just moved to NY and am trying figuring out all the best vegan spots!
Have a great day!
oh my goodness, that sounds like such a good day. i'm only 2 days into my last semester at school and i'm already so overwhelmed. and tired. gosh. hope you had a wonderfully relaxing and fulfilling day.
Sounds like you're in for a fabulous day off!

ahhhh so so so true. never ever take where you live for granted. i am so jealous of your view of the hudson, the charming neighborhood you mention and your proximity to the city that i would love to walk around for hours with an extra large coffee :)
Nice on. I had what I call a "daycation" in London on the weekend which is home for a few years. It's such a fantastic city and sometimes I need to step back and remember this.
