Happy Monday everyone! I had quite a crappy weekend and it starts with the above photo. I never mentioned it on here because I wanted to surprise you with a blog post like, 'Hello from Vegas!' as I was supposed to fly out on Saturday morning and meet Marco down there (he was traveling for work). Sadly, some craziness went down health-wise causing me to cancel my flight three hours prior to my departure.

Today I'm sharing the very mini haul of items I purchased during our trip to New York City. I love to shop while on vacation but my first priority for this trip was to spend time and money towards experiences versus tangible items (a first for me!).
That said, I couldn't come home complete empty handed, so here is a look at the few things I picked up...
Michael Kors sunglasses (from Century 21; similar).
Branch necklace (from Forever 21; similar)
Initial necklace (from H&M; similar)
Cross-body bag, perfect for traveling (from Forever 21; similar with real leather)
During our three-day (anniversary) trip to New York City, I knew Hudson Clearwater was a place I wanted to try. Joanna raved about it on her blog years ago, and I kept it in my back pocket for the future which happened to be the weekend before last.

The weekend was pre-kicked off to a great start by meeting Sarah for lunch on Friday. We met at Montana's and got the usual: Lunch trio (soup, half sandwich and salad).
I stayed at my parent's place on Friday night while they were out of town to look after Peanut.
I took advantage of being at their place to detail my car (sorry no video on this, someone requested it, but it was getting dark real quick and I didn't bring my camera since it was so impromptu).

It's not (Let's Chat) Wednesday but this is something that's been on my mind for a while and wanted to get your guys input / thoughts on.
Making new friends is not easy, as we get older, it's harder to meet and connect with someone to truly call them a friend. Most people's circles are established, but, I am definitely a believer in never having too many friends. That said, people can be flaky and after watching this short, funny video on how cell phones have made people flakier, I started to wonder: can you ever rely on anyone?
Now, I know there are people in your life (and mine) that can be relied on, but when making new friends, how many chances do you give them before writing them off? My biggest complaint is when you make plans with a new friend and they cancel... and cancel again. How many chances do you give someone to become a friend?
As far as current friends, I think it's fair to be a bit more flexible, if you can; things come up, plans can change and if you really know someone, they likely aren't doing it on purpose to because they don't care.
I think two chances is fair game when it comes to a new friend. If we make plans twice, and both times you cancel on me, I'm not going out of my way to set aside time when there is plenty I could be doing with my time instead. Your thoughts? How many times do you give someone a second chance?
