Project 365: Days 61-69

61/365: I impulse-bought tickets for Trent and me to see a charity event when I heard Meryl Streep would be a guest—along with George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Danny DeVito, David Letterman, Carole King, Aloe Blaac and Natalie Cole— and it turned out to be a really wonderful, only-in-New-York kind of evening.

62/365: A group of us went to Red Rooster in Harlem for dinner where I had the best meatballs ever and admired the tile on the bathroom floor.

63/365: I met Jim and Katie for dinner in Astoria and I was early so I walked around a bit. I stumbled upon a fantastic antique/junk shop and found this Boston Terrier print for $5 (the adorable shop owner gave me a dollar off without me even asking). I definitely need to go back and do some serious treasure-hunting there.

64/365: I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately so I picked something off my shelf that I knew I'd love—The Devil in the White City, about a World's Fair and a serial killer—and I can't stop reading it. I always feel much better when I'm really involved in a great book.

65/365: I've had a rough few weeks, health-wise, so I decided to reward myself for positive test results with this spine necklace I've had my eye on for a while.

66/365: I tried once again to explore Woodlawn Cemetery in the snow, only to be told—again—that they weren't allowing any walk-ins due to "hazardous conditions." Get your shit together, Woodlawn.

67/365: I finally saw all of Grey Gardens from start to finish—and on the big screen—and loved every minute of it.

68/365: It was absolute hell trying to get out of bed on Monday morning after we lost an hour to daylight savings time, but finally getting to walk home through the park—in the sunshine!—made it all worth it.

69/365: My uncle was in town for a few days and I met him for lunch at a great French restaurant near where I work on the UES—and found out that it was stinky cheese week.
