What is up, party people?! I’m back!!! Sylvie here, ready to help you get your week started with some epic events to check out. But, before I do, can I just say: my building opened the pool on our deck the other day, and since then, my life has been exponentially better. I haven’t actually taken a dip yet, but knowing I can, and the weather is finally warm enough to swim, is making me very happy.

Something else I haven’t done? See The Notebook - I know, I’m crazy. But now I finally can, and so can you…
