Dear NYC,

How are you? I hope you're doing well and recovering from all of the holiday celebrations. I'm sure you're getting ready for New Years Eve and the big night and I'm sorry I won't be there to see it. Because, I'm back in Texas. Yep.

I had a great time in my last month there and I made sure to squeeze in a few more shows and do lots of window shopping. Or mostly just looking at all the window displays done up for Christmas. In October, I was so ready to get out of the city but now that I'm home, I'm really starting to miss it.

In fact, here are some of the things I will miss about you, NYC:

• French toast from Elephant & Castle
• Walking everywhere
• the Wafels and Dinges Truck
• H&M
• speaking Spanish with all the people in my building
• wearing boots, a scarf, a hat and gloves to go outside
• Broadway shows
• all the crazy, I mean, interesting people you see everyday
• good restaurants
• Central Park
• my neighborhood (Yay the Village!)
  

But, in order to be fair, here are some things I will not miss:

• riding the subway
• working at night
• wearing boots, a scarf, a hat and gloves to go outside
• the cost of living
• the crazies

All in all, it was a terrific experience. So thanks! And I hope to visit you soon. Real soon.

Love,
Lisa
