  2. Hmm number 3 and 43?

    I really did cry while eating in Spain, according to my friends I kept exploding into little fits of “HOW DO THEY DO IT?!”

    COME WITH ME TO LONDON 2012 FOR THE OPENING CEREMONIES!! I’m staying with at my friend’s house literally two blocks away from Mile End!!

    my dreams?
    Get a job that offers financial stability
    Own a dog
    Pastry school
    Planning on moving to New York by 2013
    TRAVEL MORE!!
    Give my parents an all-expenses paid trip anywhere they want
    Start a family (yikes) in close proximity to my sister Rosalyn
    Live in France for at least 2 years
    Buy a house
    Have just one more family vacation with EVERYONE, cousins, aunts, uncles included… I miss those…

  3. PS – Why not eat at Delancey next month? I’m guessing you can get a reservation this far in advance… especially if you mention your list on Twitter. :)

  4. Oh I like number 51! I’m going to fulfill this when I finally get a job as an RN. You can come along…I’m deciding between an obscenely expensive handbag or dress or the complete box set of Sex and the City. The last one I may be just because so maybe you can help pick out the handbag or dress!
