  • Bleh

    Well, I guess it has been a while since I've had a full-on cold, so can't complain too much, I suppose.  That said, I'm such a baby when I get sick.  Had to leave the house this morning to get chicken soup and more Puffs with lotion.  Nose is still bright red.  I've been drinking

  • Scenes from a Blizzardy Birthday

    I was looking forward to this all year! The seafood tower at Blue Ribbon, complete with lobster, scallops, oysters, clams, crab, shrimp, caviar, and two shots of Stoli. And the view of my backyard on the way home.  Many many thanks to Noel, Sarah, Arlan, Rachel, Kim and Katie for trekking across states and boroughs

  • Call Me!*

    Something odd has happened over the past year and a half or so:  I've noticed that I talk on the phone significantly less than I used to.  I'd wager that you might say the same thing.  I find that the majority of my interaction with friends, even the ones I used to call regularly, is now

  • Contradictions

     Normally I am not a little dog person, but I totally fell in love with Barley, my friends Rachel & Najib's dog this weekend. I think he fell in love with me a little too.  Just sayin'.  I really couldn't have asked for a better weekend — catching up with Lauren, Caroline & Tara at Highlands and

  • Pacific Time

    I returned to NYC from LA on Thursday night but still feel somewhat like I'm running on Pacific time — I slept until 11 both days this weekend (which doesn't happen that often).  It could be that I'm just recovering from the trip generally, as it was jam-packed. I drove straight from the airport to

  • The Long Walk

    Yesterday I walked from my apartment down to the Lower East Side, wandered around there and Chinatown for a bit, then walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to Carroll Gardens.  From Canal St to my final destination was approximately 3.5 miles, and I'd imagine that I walked at the very least two more beyond that.  Moral
