  • Monday, Monday

    Maybe it’s because I haven’t had one in a while due to vacation, holidays, etc., but today is a very Monday-ish feeling Monday — I swear there was some magical force drawing me deeper and deeper under my covers as soon as my alarm went off.  Sigh.  Off we go.

  • The Therapist is In

    Last night in the blustery cold I was lucky enough to be sharing some wine and cheese with Carolyn, Vivian, and Katie when my phone rang.  It was Travis, my mortgage consultant at Citibank (we’re still working on some details).  He sounded like hell — like he had caught a dose of the plague I

  • Take Action

    I’ve thought some more about my resolutions, and they can pretty much be summed up with one phrase:  take action.  I have some life goals, benchmarks I want to reach, behavior I’d like to change — it can all be done by taking action — taking concrete steps to get where I want to be.

  • In the Blink of an Eye

    Another year has gone by.  Today’s my birthday — I can hardly believe it!  I know it’s been dreadfully quiet around here lately, and I apologize.  I was sick as a dog and trying desperately to work through it since I have this week off.  At the same time I’ve been running around trying to

    Got the damn plague again.  Am trying to struggle through because I have an inordinate amount of crap to do, both work and personal, before the holidays.  Not a happy camper.  Sniffle.

  • Resolutions, or Lack Thereof

    I must say, I was incredibly impressed with both Derek’s resolutions and with his promise to update his readers regularly on his progress.  I still am not sure about my resolutions this year, although there’s one from last year that needs to be on the list again.  At John‘s suggestion, I had resolved to spend

  • The Word of the Week

    is boxing.  In addition to my regular classes this week (Monday and Wednesday), I’ve got my one-on-one training session tonight.  Between that and a session with my trainer yesterday, I’m already pretty damn sore — should be interesting.  Also this week was the Gothamist holiday party, and dinner last night with Joe at Kasadela (he’s

  • Catching Up

    Let me just start out by saying that buying an apartment in a tight time frame is not something I would recommend if you can avoid it.  This week has been a bit over the top — in between working, Gothamist, boxing, and everything else I do, I’ve had to find and hire a lawyer,

  • Crickets

    Sorry for the silence around here — it’s been a helluva week.  Update to come.

  • Guess Who Is Slowly Becoming a Grownup?

    That would be me.  Looks like I will be a homeowner before 2008 — I’ll be buying my apartment!  Brooklyn will have to wait until I have a family — for now, I get to stay in my beloved Greenwich Village.  Now, who wants to help me paint?  And Apartment Therapy is back on!
