- Taking a weekly hip hop class with my friend J (www.lifebooker.com- check out new daily loot- I scored these for around 12 dollars a class).
- Trying out pilates (6.50 a class!), circus class, and silk trapezing with my friend G (Got these through lifebooker and groupon).
- Partaking in a variety of activities through a gym membership at the 92Y (I think this was a groupon- 20 for a month membership).
- Treating my body to some mani/pedi time and a massage (25tuesdays.com- $25 dollars- hooray!)
I'm approaching finding this fantastic fellow with an open mind: whether it be online, at a bar, in a class, through a friend, or dare I say... through a matchmaker. Yes, I said matchmaker- in keeping true with the NY experience, I've scheduled an interview with one I read about in Time Out New York- VIP. I'm drawn to the idea of a personal customized match but am hoping this doesn't turn out to be a breeding ground for guys who want a gold digger or trophey. This might just be my biggest adventure (or disaster) yet.
Ritzy - I wish I could take that hip-hop class with you. So jealous! I've been taking advantage of ME stuff on Chicago's Groupon, YouSwoop, HotTix, etc. Last week I bought two - (2!!!) - hour and a half long massages for $38 each. What a deal! I also bought an hour facial, a month of personal training, a personal photography session with 25 finished images (hilarious!) and some show tickets - and all in for about $100! I'm so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteLast week I took advantage of one of my favorite deals - free Thursday nights at the Art Institute. I spent an hour at the World's Fair photo exhibit and then had sushi at my favorite spot on Michigan avenue. It was one of those perfect ME nights (that I shared with a good friend).
I'm scheduling one of my massages for next Friday since I know this coming week is going to be a doozy full of many late nights as I prepare all my files and emails for archiving at the Art Institute. (All of the Burnham Plan Centennial materials are going to be archived with the rest of Burnham's things at the Art Institute...pretty cool!) Yes, I have to read through ALL my files and ALL my emails, which is daunting and cathartic at the same time. My colleagues are doing the same but I have to be a bit more discerning with my files and emails since I deal with donors and some of that information will have restrictions. Its a tedious task but it's actually helping me come to terms with the end of this amazing project that I had the honor to work on the past two years. And, now I can look forward to a massage to top it all off! Is it Friday yet??? :)
A matchmaker! how adventurous of you - I have cute images of an old jewish woman who looks you deep in the eye and pinch your cheeks before patting you on the nose and telling you she has just the right fella for you... Can't wait to hear how this works out!
