the final day...

Well, this morning it was hard going to into work. Staying out til 3:30 am makes it hard to wake up in the morning. Oh well! we were all there with smiling faces at 9am!

I cannot believe today was my last day at work. I feel as if I was just walking to my first day. Today was spent tying up loose ends, finishing my rug sales (woohoo), making one last sales board (wouldn't be a last day without doing this), and having lunch with Cheryl, Carter, Andrew, and Audrey at 'witchcraft.

Around 4pm, Cheryl, Audrey, Carter and I left the offices to go to Mindi's apartment in Hoboken. She invited us over for a thank you/goodbye party. She has such a nice apartment. She actually had a backyard garden! GRASS!! FLOWERS!! BUGS!! Wooho!

It was nice to see each other outside of work. I am going to miss these ladies. They truly made my summer special. I wish I would have stayed longer, but I felt bad if Carter had to find the ferry by herself. I didn't have that hard of a time saying goodbye, because I am going to the offices on Thursday to give my mom and Aunt Jeannie a tour. This is when it will be hard and I will realize it is all ending.

After getting back into the city, I met with with Kathryn for a drink at Me Bar. It was nice to see her, I enjoy chatting with her about everything. She is such a great listener and always has great advice. I am going to miss her so much!

After leaving Kathryn, I met up with Andrew from work in the Union Square area. We sat around and reflected on our time at Martha. He was extended for another week, i think he is really bummed I'm not going to be sitting next to him. Boy he is going to be bored!

While we were reflecting, he told me how crazy he thinks i am. He didn't mean it in a negative way, he meant it as he couldn't believe i left everything, moved to NYC by myself and worked for MSLO. I guess I really never thought of it that way. I guess it was kind of random. I really don't think it has all hit me yet. I think i am going to have to remove myself from the situation to realize i what I all did this summer. I can see it now, I'm going to be laying in the pool and I will just be like oh my goodness, i just living in NYC for the summer, work for martha stewart, and did so many amazing things. I can't even remember what i've all done currently. It is going to take awhile.

I can't believe it is over. Only two more weeks...
