Day #3--First Celeb sighting and I am employed!

So it's way later than I'd like to be up, but a lot of great things happened today so I had to share (even though I'm under the impression I am the only one who checks this site. Whatevs.). Early this morning (again, read:11) I walked around Central Park, got a bit lost, but ended up back on identifiable streets. While strolling along, I saw trailers for Curb Your Enthusiasm, which they most certainly did. I was tempted to stalk outside, waiting for Larry David or Vivica Fox to make a debut, but alas, I'm only that creepy online. So, on my way home I saw a big fuss around a few tables in the outside area of a restaurant, and who do I see but Larry David filming the show! Snapped a pic on my phone's mediocre camera and am saving it for life. Dad says he's not famous, but he created Seinfeld so he clearly is worth freaking out about.

Next big news: Got a job! All those random applications from yesterday paid off very quickly, and I interviewed for a baby-sitting gig at 2. We met in a local bakery (Buttercup Bake Shop--how cute, right?), which cued me in on the bliss that was about to take place. The woman was nice and she and her husband are from Dublin, Ohio! She went to Miami and knows OU and lives 1/3 of a mile from me now! Seriously, I'm in a place devoted to sugar, with someone from Ohio, who wants to pay me to watch her kids when I have nothing better to do most of the week anyway. Amazing.

She asked me to babysit tonight as a trial and the kids are unbelievably adorable. They are so funny and sweet, I love them. The older of the two, a girl, who is 4 and 3/4, was upset with me when I put her to bed because, obviously, she didn't want to go to bed. So sweet talked me into fifteen more minutes, but otherwise I think it was great and as long as she gives her dad glowing reviews I'll have a consistent gig. Before I left, he paid me and said "We midwesterners have to stick together," and then the heavens parted and God yelled down, "You're welcome." It was a crazy. moment really, haha. Forreal though, I'm pumped about it and so are they, so maybe I won't be starving in this town after all!

LOVE

  1. Too funny! I was in NY when I read this earlier this morning, though upstate and not in the infinitely cool City. Alas, I went to Miami and currently live a mile from Dublin, so naturally your blog caught my eye. Needless to say, I am a former journalist, now PR maven and mother of 4 who has a daughter that just showed off my shoe collection to her gals pals. I just may follow your blog!

  2. Well I'm glad you're reading! And I wonder if you two know each other, considering everything. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised!
