Here and there...

Brooklyn Heights:

On my way into Brooklyn:

My lovely and very helpful hosts: Peter and Jody

Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Last week's trip to Brooklyn, NY was a success! After seeing 15 apartments in two days, without the help of a broker - welcome to NY...figure it out - I settled on a 1 bedroom on Sackett Street. I couldn't be happier about the neighborhood and the apartment. And LOOK, there are trees! I'm very close (3-4 blocks) from Prospect Park, steps from the subway and 1/2 block from 5th Ave which I'm told has lots of great restaurants, shops and a farmer's market in spring/summer. Hallelujah! And the drum roll...there is laundry in my apartment! Small victories.

The blogging break is over!

Just needed a little time to reflect and refresh. I think it's time to get back to blogging...My first order of business is to let you know that I'm moving to New York City! Wahoooo!

I'll be working as an Art Producer at an agency in Manhattan located on West 26th Street (Midtown/Chelsea area).

Now, to find an apartment. Some NY'ers tell me this is no small task. Having already lost two apartments overnight while sleeping, I sort of believe them. I'll be flying down to NYC next weekend to start and (hopefully) end my search. Wish me luck.

I'm sure this is the first of many NYC updates. Can't wait to share my new adventures with all of you! xoxo

300th post.

Should I stop? Keep going? Take a right...or maybe a left? Aren't those the questions we're always asking ourselves?

...and to top it off, Superbowl with The Spiekermann's.

Where does the time go? Wasn't I just easing into the weekend? While in the shower at 7:45am this morning, I remembered that I had an 8am meeting. Awesome. I rushed to work with wet hair. I don't think my feet touched the ground more than once. No coffee stop for me. Ahh...Monday.

It was a full weekend. I was lucky to have some QT with The Routhiers on Friday night during Citizen Cider's debut at The Farmhouse. I spent most of Saturday painting the kitchen cabinets at the Horikawa's. Jay, Maegen, John and I joined Nelia and Marin for an epic painting session. Their place is looking great and slowly but, surely they are preparing for the arrival of the newest Horikawa--due this Friday!

Sunday was filled with all of the errands I didn't do on Saturday night, (I was useless post-painting). Finally, the main event. The SUPERBOWL with Max and AB. Good times. We started with a special duck confit, moved on to gold glitter manicures and later graduated to a super sized portion of nachos. The game was fun but, the highlight for AB and I was Madonna. Madge is still blazing the trail at 53. Some people were critical of her performance for one reason or another but, for a 12 minute show-she delivered!

NYC, in pictures.

I've skipped sharing the work part of the trip because that's not as pretty.

Everyone has limits.

I'm discovering mine.
