So now that I've been back in NY for about a week I've tried to get the ball rolling on where my life is headed. I have applied to jobs online, emailed some people about apartments from Craigslist, but ultimately the best part of being home- despite the great feeling of finally being proactive about my future- is seeing my friends again. :)
There have been nights of attempting to go out "cheap" in Manhattan (this mostly includes a days worth of "happy hour's" research online only to be caught going wherever alcohol is served once you get out). Concerts in Central Park (Jack's Mannequin was awesome!!) and days spent relaxing in the A/C enjoying unemployment while I still can. I know soon I'll get restless and annoyed with nothing to do, for the time being it just feels bizarre- and bizarre I can live with.
Here's to hoping things pan out quickly and for the best!

Farewell
Thursday 4 August 2011
Back in New York.
It's both hard to believe I'm here, and yet feels like I never left.
A part of me still thinks I might wake up and be back in London :p
My last day in London I finally went on a walking tour of the city, and while I had already seen almost everything we went by I finally got to learn a lot more of the history and fun facts. Plus I got some extra photos.
Lucky for me my travel day was easy and went smoothly and before I knew it I was back "home".
Now for a whole new adventure- finding a home and a job :)

The End!
Sunday 31 July 2011
Had a great last weekend!
Started out Friday when I went out with my Australian friend Marnie and while the night was QUITE an adventure it was super fun- I love London.
Then Saturday went back up to Camden Market which is just amazing- though totally crowded. But the clothes are all so freaking cute and not uber expensive and while I didn't let myself buy anything, I wanted EVERYTHING- I love London.
Then today Marnie and I went to Buckingham Palace and got to walk through the State Rooms and see the wedding dress from the Royal Wedding which was spectacular! As were the rooms and the grounds- I love London.
Ultimately I can't believe I'm in the last 72 hours in London or in Europe for that matter!
And did I mention that I love London!

Animal Week Goes Out With A Bang!
Friday 29 July 2011
Today to finish off Animal Week we went to the Battersea Children's Zoo!! The kids- hesitant to go had a great time and we spent nearly all afternoon with the animals! I think the most amazing part was that as far as I can remember I had never seen a live donkey before! Hard to believe, but that all changed today!
Of course the monkeys were by far our favorite animals to watch (the meerkats were a close second)!

And of course we had to spend quite a bit of time at the playground in the zoo because what day would be complete without playground play?! ;)
Animal Week is complete. I can't believe I have to say good bye to the kids tonight! :'( I'm going to miss them so much!!

Animal Week? Not So Much
Wednesday & Thursday 27 & 28 July 2011
So Animal Week didn't really take off...
Instead we built a fort in the bedroom door- simulating a zoo cage perhaps??

Then we made water bombs- to simulate... jelly fish??
and then we found a new park... which I can't in any way make into something about animals
It's been a fun week, but not so much an animal week as we had planned!

AW- Day Two
26 July 2011
So Animal Week (AW) is off to a very lazy start... today we got ready to go to the children's zoo and instead wound up hanging out around the house, chatting and playing and the like.
We did have a great time though! and we ate more of the "animal" cupcakes!
I can't believe I'm leaving in less than a week :( I'm not sure I'm going to be ready!
I love London!!

Animal Week!- Day One
Monday 25 July 2011
Last week the kids and I decided that most of the activities we wanted to do this week were animal related (zoo, aquarium) so we deemed it "Animal Week." Today was the first day, so how did we spend it? At the park... :p but we caught TADPOLES and when we got home later we made ANIMAL decorated cupcakes.
So even though it was another park day, we brought the "animal" to it.
Stay tuned for more animal adventures!
