Day 1 in New York City

today I headed to New York. My flight actually arrived 30 minutes early! I was impressed with myself for making to my sister's apartment with no trouble (air train, long island rail, several transfers on the subway...). When I arrived at my sister's we went and got my hair cut and then dyed it. I know- I don't know what my deal is with wanting to experiment with my hair recently : ) Anyway Melissa made a really great dinner of wheat soba noodles with orange chicken. It was really good. Later that evening my best friend from elementary school arrived! It was so exciting to see her after 9 years. We had so many good laughs and stayed up really late saying "remember when..." followed by lots of laughs.
