I like to start my day at the office by browsing the news while I finish my first cup of coffee for the day. Yesterday I came across this little gem in the New York Times: Let’s Face It, This Isn’t a Job for Supernanny” The article is all about a woman who wrote a [...]

Yesterday I had one of those moments that make me so happy I moved here. My coworkers went during their lunch break to Dylan’s Candy Bar – a fabulous candy shop just a block and a half from my office building. This is one of the places I have always always always wanted to go [...]

So I’m innocently watching the DNC today, as my roommate insists we not miss one second of crucial footage (read: eye-rolling gag worthy moments of roll call) when Sen. Clinton appears on the convention floor. Immediately prior to her appearance, we’d been treated to a round of annoying remarks from various party leaders from states [...]

And then suddenly it was like I had stepped into an episode of Weeds. My roommates and I were sitting, waiting outside the most innocuous looking pastel-painted bakery pretending to simply enjoy the night air and the largest piece of red velvet cake I have ever seen. In reality, we were waiting for a delivery.  So while [...]

The weather here has been so mild for the past week that when the weekend came and brought the heat back it was utterly miserable. And we’re talking 83-85 degrees, nothing even excessive.  Nonetheless, if you went out for the night in anything but a sundress for the past two nights you were seriously remiss [...]

Ever since I had Latte groomed for the first time two weeks ago I’ve been seriously stressed about how to handle his upkeep.  I absolutely detest the poodle clip. He’s a beautiful dog, and he totally rocks it, but I’m just not a fan of the way his face looks. It’s too prissy, and he’s [...]

So I did a quick facebook search today in order to figure out that exactly 13 of my friends are engaged. These 13 are both legitimately my friends (as in, not just facebook friends but people I hang out with or used to hang out with), and legitimately engaged (as in, not to this piece [...]

So, I’m in a tricky place because I like to write stylistically and include the bolding and italics in my post, but I’m told that many people don’t read my blog as it is, they use a reader which means they get none of my artistic guidance – which makes the post a big list [...]

So I’ve been in the city for a week now.  I’m sure that most people would have been out every singe day, exploring every nook and cranny of their neighborhoods. Of course, I am not most people. At first I was busy trying to get unpacked so I could move all of the boxes from [...]

4 days later I’m still not unpacked. But I’m here, I’m in the city. My apartment is fabulous, especially the kitchen. I can see Broadway from my window and I have a great view of the rest of the city from my rooftop. Of course my camera is still being fixed, so there’s no hope [...]
