It's Bucket List Time!

Goodbye Summer! Hello October! Whoa..what happened to September. Seriously, where the heck did that month go? I don't even remember anything I did during the past month. Let's take a look at my Septemebr bucket list and my epic fails:

Make it to a live audience taping- There are hundreds of shows that film in NYC and I want to sit in their audiences.  I wish this happened, but everything tapes during the day and I have work. I almost made it to a taping of the Cake Boss, but it fell during an afternoon when I tutored. No Bueno. I will make this happen in the future. I have my fingers crossed for SNL or The Daily Show.


Eat from a food truck - Trying this out again.  One would think that after two months of having this on my bucket list, I would have made it happen. I really haven't eaten out very much since I have moved here and I haven't come across any food trucks during the times when I am looking for food.

Attend Fashion's Night Out - September means Fashion Week in NYC, but I am not invited to a fashion show, so I have to make do with the one night they open to the public :) This totally happened and I loved every second of it. I blogged about it over here  and I got to meet Tim Gunn! (Side Story: The picture to the right of Tim and I was my profile pic on Facebook for about a week or so and I received a phone call from my grandparents asking who the older gentleman in my picture was and they wanted to know if we were dating.)

Go to the Labor Day Parade - because nobody does parades better than NYC!   I had all intentions of going to this parade but then I got a little cold. So then I decided to to go to the Oktoberfest parade, but then I decided against that too. Basically, I just decided that parades are not that fun alone.

Spend an afternoon in Central Park - because I have not taken advantage of this awesome lush park in the middle of Manhattan and because the weather is cooling down, so I won't die from the heat. Yay! Another win! I got to take part in this afternoon while I was out and about completing my Thrift Store Pen Pal pictures. This afternoon was breezy, sunny, and I got to read :)

Go to a Museum or two - I may or may not have already cheated and accomplished this task, so I am adding in the hope to make it to another museum this month. Another great day spending time in New York! I got to go to The Met and I saw all kinds of fun art. I wrote about my visit here.

I may not have accomplished a lot of the items on my list, but I feel like I had a great month. This month was sprinkled with great book club meetings, visits from friends and family, and a beautiful change in weather. I have finally made a few friends, I am working full time, and I don't have to look up directions each and every time I leave my apartment. I am starting to really feel like I live in this crazy city and I love it more and more each day.

October's List!

Go Apple and Pumpkin picking! - I am totally doing this towards the end of the month. It's on my calendar.

 

Columbus Day Parade - This time I am going to suck it up and attend the parade. I hear it is a decent parade and the weather is going to be awesome :)

Check out the Fall foliage - Florida has two seasons: Summer and Pre-Summer. I am excited to live in a place where leaves change colors and I am going to take advantage of that. 

Do something Halloween related. - My tradition for the past few years was to go to a haunted corn maze with my super awesome friends, but now that we are all seperated I would like to find something Halloween related to attend. There are some crazy haunted houses in Manhattan and I might have to check one out.
