Don't get me wrong--I'm very glad to be back in Kentucky. Closer to family, closer to some friends, etc. But some times, there are things I miss about "my old life" in Connecticut. Because I'm feeling a little nostalgic, here they are, in no particular order...
1. My friends--Priya, Lauren, Dana, Michelle, Elizabeth, Alicia, etc etc etc.
2. Paul's Pasta--This was one of my favorite restaurants in Connecticut. All the ingredients were made from scratch daily. We would get take out a lot because it was really close to my house. We would eat there, in the restaurant, sometimes...but as my co-workers and I found...the waitresses really weren't that nice! They always seemed like they were "doing us a favor" or something, which really put me off. Oh well. I still miss the delicious food.
3. Rob Rivers Salon & Spa--You want the best eyebrow wax ever? You go here, to Rob Rivers Salon & Spa in Mystic, Connecticut, and you get the hook up with Danielle or Katie. I have yet to have a comparable eyebrow wax. Talk about spoiling me. I might have left there with two red stripes across my face, but there was nary a stray eyebrow. Here? I've yet to receive the same level of service, but perhaps I've yet to find my Danielle or Katie.
4. Valentino's Restaurant in Ledyard, CT--The best pizza, hands down. My co-workers and I went here ALL the time because it was just 5 minutes from our office. They knew my order like they knew their own name. I took my family here once and they LOVED it. In fact, they still talk about it. Mmm, I could go for a slice of Valentino's right about now!
5. A 35-hour work week and a supervisor who really didn't care if I left early on Friday. Need I say more?
Okay that's about it for now. I've got to finish up some schoolwork and call it a night.
now i know why you were hunting for pics!!! ;)
that one is SO OLD and i really do think it is the only one in existence!! :(
i miss you, too, jb!!

Funny how we find parts of our life missing when we move on, isn't it? I'm glad you're enjoying KY, but am thankful you have good memories of CT. :)
