I could write about how horrible yesterday was, about the five hours I spent with the DMV and waiting in line at the emissions testing center and how the culmination of this entire day was my losing my drivers license. Top that off with a ridiculously bad headache and the reemergence of MRSA and I [...]
Sometimes you have good luck, sometimes you have bad. Over the past couple weeks I’ve had a batch of some bad luck, starting with my bout with MRSA (which isn’t over apparently), then moving on to poor sales at work and then finally culminated in last nights fiasco with my new sofa. I have been [...]
I started out my Thanksgiving by yelling at people in traffic. Actually, I was coming out of Target after an unsuccessful attempt at getting caramel (which, by the way, did you know is very rare?) and there was a lot of traffic. The guy in front of me was too scared to take a chance [...]
I am participating in Ten on Tuesdays from Roots and Rings for the second week in a row, talking about Holiday Traditions. I absolutely love the holidays! Feel free to answer the questions in the comments below 1. What are your plans for the holidays? Do you travel at Thanksgiving? If you celebrate Christmas, do [...]
This Thursday marks another Thanksgiving. I am getting ready for a friends-family Thanksgiving for which I am making Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, a garlic roasted kale and an apple pie. Did you know that I have never really made a pie before? I’ve made pumpkin pies (which, if you can’t make pumpkin [...]
I’ve had a hard time this week seeing the good things in life. For some reason I’ve been a bit down for the past couple weeks, a combination of missing New York, missing home and family and some personal frustrations. I honestly can’t even pinpoint the cause of all this sadness that I’m feeling, but [...]
I’m jumping on the bandwagon and doing Ten on Tuesdays because it’s been so much fun reading all of yours (who have been participating, anyway!) It’s my day off tomorrow and I’ve spent tonight working out, doing dishes, jamming out to new music and am about to make some Black Bean Chili. Enjoy my first [...]
For the first time in pretty much my entire life, I am not going home for the holidays. There will be no trimming of my parent’s christmas tree, no frigid walks with the dogs, my dad and other members of my family after dinner, no pomegranate and champagne drinks, no fire in the fireplace in [...]
I found myself in the bookstore today after having a mid-afternoon bellini with Miss Talks Smack (a brilliant idea). I love bookstores, especially ones that are not Borders or Barnes and Nobles. Little bookstores with used books sections, little cafes and well, you know, BOOKS. My favorite bookstore in NYC was Strand and they had [...]
A lot has been happening lately in my life, some of which I’ve touched on, other’s that I have not. One thing that I’ve mentioned briefly in passing is that last thursday I had minor surgery. I wasn’t expecting this surgery; I knew I had an abscess, something I’ve had a couple times before and [...]
