It’s just one of those days

Sometimes you just have those days I leave work promptly at 7:00 to meet a friend at 7:30 with a normal 30 minute train. Just kidding- next train isn’t for 10 minutes. I give my friend the heads up- I’ll be a little late. 8 minute pass. A train goes by without stopping. 10 minutes … Continue reading →

When the smell of gas scares you

Today as I turned on my stove this morning to make my breakfast I became shaken and I took an audible gasp . As many of you heard, yesterday morning a building exploded in East Harlem- killing 7 and injuring many. Thank you to all that were concerned about my safety- at the time I … Continue reading →

Costa Rica! Pura Vida and H54F

Hola amigos! I’ve just returned from Costa Rica and it was an amazing trip. Especially mid this crazy winter, it was an extraordinary adventure and the perfect refresher. I’m connecting with High Five for Friday today, so here are my top five Costa Rica highlights from the last week (in no particular order). PUERTO VIEJOPuerto Viejo … Continue reading →

The 3rd First Day

First days on the job are always weird. You don’t have anything really to do… but you have SO much to do. But you don’t know how to do anything… but you want to do EVERYTHING. You don’t know where the coffee is… but you REALLY want a cup of coffee. And today, was another … Continue reading →

My Last Performance

Tonight as I left work, I stood in the wings and watched my last Nutcracker. Not only because this is the last weekend of the season, but also because I’m leaving my job. At the end of next week,  I’m not going to be in fundraising anymore (sad), I’m not going to experience all of … Continue reading →

New Year, New Resolutions

Happy 2014 y’all!! I’m super pumped for 2014. It’s going to be a gold star year. I really think so. There are SO many things I’m already looking forward to. Yay yay yay. I’m taking this first day of twenty fourteen to watch Portlandia, eat pizza, and make some resolutions. Cause January 2 is when … Continue reading →

Home & Hair

Well Happy post-Thanksgiving everyone. I hope everyone’s bellies are protruding as much as mine (mostly just so I don’t feel so self conscious). I’m currently sitting in the O’Hare airport (ie: worst airport of all time) so I figured now is a great time to share my Thanksgiving with you. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a … Continue reading →

Spain & Onward!

Today was a big day on the fifth floor, I booked my next global adventure… Costa Rica! I literally could not be more pumped. What a good day it was indeed. While booking a trip is always a thrill, this one especially is big for me. Let me take you back a step…. August of … Continue reading →

Donut Samaritans

As the cold winds move in, I think fondly of warmer days- my days that would start with a Dunkin Donuts unsweet iced tea… No lemon. Yes, I know, this is crazy. First I write about a plant and now I’m writing about tea? Way to take a steep decline… But it’s not just the … Continue reading →

Guys, I bought a plant

She’s a little baby thing and I found her at The Plant Shed, this little magical indoor garden on the Upper West Side. All the plants are indoor plants. perfect for New York apartments. Brilliant store. Who da thunk it. I haven’t had much luck with plants in the past, but since I’m approaching my … Continue reading →

Refresh.

This weekend my goal was to refresh. I did a pretty good job at it. Candles, knitting, pulling out the fall sweaters, a play, a bit of indulgence and a very lucky escape out of the city. It was indeed a very refreshing weekend. And then we continue breathing…

Oh hey blog (and my feelings on New York).

I know. It’s been forever. I’m not going to even justify my absence because truthfully, I don’t have to.  But this summer has been an amazing time of growth and joy in my life and I’m really glad I just hunkered down and enjoyed it. But I think I’m back for a little bit more. … Continue reading →

Go Knicks!

So I know this really awesome guy that gets me to do things I wouldn’t normally do…like go to a professional basketball game. Lord knows I’m a college basketball girl through and through but I’ve never been to a professional game. So being at Madison Square Garden for my first Knicks Game was kind of … Continue reading →

The best day of the year…

is today. Why? Cause the legs are back out people. The coats are being shed. The sunglasses are abounding. Snow be gone, it seems the entire city has a spring in its step. The fountain is on and I had an ICED tea this morning. It’s worth repeating… ICED. That’s right- it’s April and its … Continue reading →
