So it’s Tuesday, right? I’m going through that whole I don’t know what day it actually is thing that comes along with this job. All I know is that it’s sunny outside, I have the day off and I’m currently feeling guilty for not only eating Ben & Jerry’s Mud Pie that I picked up [...]
It’s time for everyone’s weekend but today is my “Monday” and I’m heading into this weekend with a nasty little head cold that doesn’t make standing 8 hours on my feet seem very enjoyable. Since I leave for work in like, ten minutes, I thought I’d jot down a little bullet point list of things [...]
One of my favorite things about this transition into fall, besides the boots, the scarfs, the cute sweaters and the expansion into my fall wardrobe, is the food.

In December I made the first trip to Ground Zero, standing on a [...]

It’s hard to believe but two years ago I left New York for good. It feels like it was just yesterday that I boarded that plane for Germany and said goodbye, through tears, to the city that had held my heart for six wonderful (and sometimes pretty tumultuous) years. In just under 24 hours I [...]
