High Class

I've gone from big fancy beds, to tiny beds in a confining room with dirty sheets, to clean sheets and a floor. And I'm loving it all. Admittedly, the floor doesn't work too well with my body. I'm more of a firm bed person than a squishy one, but I'm definitely sore waking up on the floor lol. Oh well, it's a roof over my head and I'm not going to complain. The hotel is pretty spooky really with it's high ceilings, large empty room, and tiny bathroom. There is a kitchen, but I hardly notice it since it looks like it's in a walk in closet lol. And get this...

I ask if there's any way I can get in during the day when Josh is gone. Sure he says, just walk up to the front desk and ask for 324. Everyone leaves the key at the front desk when they go out each day. And apparently anyone can then go in and ask for it. They don't know who I am. I just walked in one day and said with confidence "324 please" to which the guy reached behind him and handed over the key. I imagined myself saying "oh yea, and 350 too please" or something of the sort. You can just get a key to any room here. Oh yea, I feel real safe now. There are some residences here as well from what I hear. And others pay their rent with art, which explains all the random artwork and photography lining the walls. The place is really old. And the stairs have indents in them from the wear of people walking up and down it for so long.

Anyways, today is a day of shopping...and getting my nails done. :) I hadn't really shopped all summer, so I felt that I could treat myself out. A waterproof coat, a nice suit coat, a warm fancy coat, four shoes (Asics, Merrel, Adidas, and Timberland), and a dress from Peru. All on sale for about $250. I'm rather impressed with myself lol. It was time to upgrade from all my hoodies back home anyways.

Tonight Josh's dad is visiting NYC and has offerred to take us both out. I felt a little odd, but sure I'd love to come out. I had no idea what to expect really. I dressed up nice because it's what I like to do anyways, and wow it's a good thing I did. An Italian restaurant 8(?) floors up near Times Square where I've never seen service like that in my life...not even eating out with Aunt Judy and her husband (they would love it here btw lol). Everything was so classy and expensive I didn't feel like I deserved more than a glass of water...maybe a piece of bread. The place was small and men were dressed up in fine suites and women in classic dresses of elegance. It was like I was getting a peek into the life of the rich and famous. Okay, perhaps I'm taking it a bit far, but it was actually really exciting to me. A whole new way that people live...a different culture I never noticed right under my nose. He travels all over the world weekly...for fun! Yea I can't wait to be doing that...in my dreams. Anyways, the food was great and we finished up to catch a comedy show in Times Square. This was also great with our front row seating and drinks. Then when I thought it couldn't get any better, we went to the W for drinks at the bar. Oh my goodness. I know that I sound like a puppy that experienced life outside the house for the first time, but really was kind of what I was. Lol. And as always, I loved it all.

At the end of the night, his dad went back to his place in Trump Tower. And I went back that night and happily curled up in my sheets on the floor. :)
