I'm headed to Atlantic City this morning.
Well more specifically...
...my sister and I are getting Dunkin' Donuts breakfast,
picking up my friend Jamina,
then following the GPS south 2 and a half hours to AC,
where we're meeting up with my friend Danielle and two of her friends
to celebrate her 29th BIRTHDAY!
I plan to chill by the pool,
put on fake tattoos,
take too many videos,
maybe gamble,
eat Cuban food,
order a mojito,
shake what my mama gave me,
and stay up late!
Last night I watched "Luck be an Old Lady" -- the Sex and the City episode where the girls go to Atlantic City. That was such a good episode, and the title of this post -- what Carrie says right before betting her $1000 chip on '36' -- hit me.
I am the worst decision maker on the planet. I mean I make decisions, but lose sleep over each one for weeks. I decided to not be with Tomas (sorta). I decided to not teach next year. I decided to go to design school starting in September. MAJOR MAJOR life decisions that I don't know will work out for me or not, yet I made them. ...and you have to. Like Carrie said, "To hit the jackpot...THE JACKPOT, for Christ's Sake!...you have to bet on the hard decisions you have to make NOW -- the ones that leave you feeling unsure in the PRESENT.
I totally related (as usual, Miss Carrie B.)
...and this morning, that's ALLLL the deep thinking I'm alotting for my brain.
Now's the time to focus on FRIENDS, FOOD, and FUN!
Adios, New York!
...until tomorrow.
