Don't you just love it when...

Yesterday was a day of babysitting. I babysat from 8:30am-6:30pm. At noon we went for a walk to Riverside Park and played on the playground. It was just a gorgeous, perfect day. I had a huge issue this summer living in this city with the muggy heat, but yesterday made up for all of it. The air felt clean, there was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. We then went to get pizza followed by Pinkberry. Pinkberry has become a huge fad that I believe started over in LA and is now in NYC. It is frozen yogurt and you can choose your own toppings. I love getting strawberries with either granola or something chocolatey. Yesterday I chose the original flavor yogurt (always my go to) with strawberries and oreo pieces. YUM! I know there are so many frozen yogurt places around but there is just something about Pinkberry! I'm obsessed. Writing this makes me want to grab some more before I go babysit today!

So while babysitting of course, the fuse blew in the apartment so we all had to trek down to the basement...baby in carriage and all! And find the fuse box. It was lovely. Right as I was trying to make dinner. Anyways...I finally finished with babysitting and came home when the thunderstorms started. I'm not a huge fan of thunder and lightning. I used to be the biggest baby about them. Now I can deal, but last night's were intense. They were right above us and so loud. They were setting off car alarms! All I wanted to do was curl up in a ball under my covers...And I did that while skyping with Matt. He thought I was being a baby but I don't care...lightning is dangerous and I know people who have died from getting struck and people who have been struck by simply being at their window. Well it passed and Hanna and I decided to go out to meet one of my college friends for drinks. We are trying at the moment to pack up the apartment and Hanna had the great idea to try to get rid of the little alcohol we had left in the house. We had enough to make one drink each with some concentrated juice and ice in my blender. This was the delicious drink we came up with:

It turned out to be a pretty good night and we didn't even get home super late. However the part of the night that sucked was finding the signs of possibly having a third roommate in the apartment that we didn't know we had. First Hanna found a nibbled hole in her english muffins package and a little nibbled out of the english muffin. Then later that evening I found my bread bag with the top piece nibbled and shredded. There was a decent size hole in it as well. Great! So we have a week and a half left and this happens to us now!? What gives? We had a mouse this winter that we kept seeing. Finally we found out where he was coming from and blocked the hole. We were mouse free after that. Then in the beginning of the summer we had a bit of a cockroach problem. We brought in the exterminators and they took care of it. Pretty much roach free (I mean its NYC...it sucks). Now we have this!?!?  I can't deal with rodents and if I see that little bugger I might have a breakdown. NYC living is one of the huge reasons I am moving to London and into a brand new building complex. I am so over it! Even though its pretty hilarious to think about...roughing it as some of my family and friends have described it!
