My cell and blackberry are blowin’ up.

Everyone is hyped for Memorial weekend.  Everyone wants me, the “in the know” beach blogger, to coordinate plans.  Everyone has forgotten that I’m the notorious flake who forgets to show up for first dates and dinner parties with the President.

Whatever.  I can pretend to be organized.  At least for like, 2 days.  Here’s what I’ve cooked up so far:

1. Take everyone to Bamboo on Thursday night for free sushi and saketinis.  It will probably be crazy crowded but most of my girlfriends are crazy skinny.  Everyone adores this place — it’s first on the list by popular demand.

2.  Spend Friday morning eating ** new food addiction alert ** sunflower-seed bagels from Schmidt’s in Southampton.  I like mine with melted Swiss. Hit up Calypso, Cynthia Rowley and, sigh, Saks, for some dangerously short, 60’s inspired mini-dresses.  Love me or leave me, honey.

3.  Friday night is dinner at Almond. Awesome — because someone else made the reservation.  And for some reason,  I fall in love with a new banker-turned-beach-bum each time I’m there.  Cheers to that!

4. Saturday is all about easy, breezy Montauk.  Drinks at our friend’s dream-house. Dinner at Harvest. After-party on the beach.  And whatever else the East end air has in mind.

5. Sunday is Sister Day.  My 27-year old sis, Rachel,  will be kicking around all weekend, rotating between me and her new handsome beau in Amaganssett.  We’ll ride bikes, make picnics, take naps and clear our minds.  Nothing like sisterly bonding in the countryside.

That’s all I got for now.  A busy but effortless schedule. Not too shabby for a commitment-phoebe!
