Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I love you and all the things you do. I am grateful to have such a tough cookie as a pop, who loves me and supports me and my crazy dreams, and even helps me check off bucket list items like traveling to Maine. 
You will be getting this card in the mail about two weeks too late. But hey, the cuteness is worth it.
Loves,
Peanut
Today I took the crosstown M86 bus to the west side and met Lauren for our adventure into the beautiful NY city/town of Riverdale. The subway went above ground towards the last few stops – and it was SO pretty to see out. We went and met up with Masha to go swimming at her pool! First off, look at this beautiful view from her house:
RIGHT?
Anyways, I haven’t been swimming for such a long time – I was SO excited.
Look at all those rays.
After spending some time working on our freckle collections, we headed back into the city for a delicious dinner at Dafni. Their food is so good! If you’re ever in the area, I recommend trying their gyro with rice. Also, their greek fries with feta – to.DIE.for. Would recommend their gigantes too – light and fresh. Yum! Drooling on my computer just remembering.
After dinner we rushed over (slowly though cause we really packed in those greek fries) to see Aladdin on broadway. My favorite Disney movie of all time! AHHHHH. Sadly the night we chose to attend, the Tony winning Genie was off (RUDE). I am more of a Robin Williams Genie fan.
Intermission selfie! 
The magic carpet was my favorite:
What a fun night!

Things were definitely off..like for instance..
Feeling superstitious this 13th cause the full elevator I was in this am went straight to my floor without stopping. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED

Trends seemed weird too
I mean, who else thought it was weird that they let Litchfield inmates serve free pies via a decked out Crazy Pies food truck?
And who let all these bitches out to tour around New York?
Strange day indeed. I hope you all stayed inside and held your seances or whatever you hipsters are doing these days in peace.

View of the sky from the roof showed a serious gloom spell had taken over the city
Good thing I had my trusty book to keep my spirits high (seriously, this book is really SASSY and hilarious)
What are you reading?

I will be the first person to admit that when I read all the Buzzfeed lists and numerous other stories about crying in Fault in our Stars I didn’t really fall for it. I mean, yes, I figured there would be tears (I cry at practically any/everything).
oh boy.
I attended the 7:20 showing at a Loew’s AMC on 19th and Broadway. A few co-workers and I sauntered over after a Tuesday in the office and hunkered down together in the theatre. Since I have had a recent fascination with Shailene Woodley (seriously, I watched the Spectacular Now every night last week) I was immediately enthralled into the storyline. As the movie progressed and got further to the twist and turns of teen romance, I found myself wanting to audibly break down and sob. I willed myself to refrain – but it was not easy. I only wish I had taken a before pic/video:
Go and see it and just Let it ALL out (and not on the uptown 6 train like I did)
