So This . . .
is what 34 feels like. So far, so good (yes, it’s my birthday today)! The best part about being in my 30’s? Being comfortable enough with myself to act like a moron and laugh about it (loudly), knowing more and more clearly what I want out of life, and having made enough mistakes in life

Nifty Gifts
Frantically pulling together some gifts. Made another batch of toffee (last one was for work people — this one’s for my stepfather and wine club folks, if I can find them) and a really cool photo calendar. Don’t want to spoil it for the recipient (and I’ll be making another for someone else as well),

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted . . .*
Today is my first official day of a two-week vacation. "Where are you going?" you might ask. "Nowhere," I’ll reply. It’s two weeks in NYC — time to do all those things I threaten to do all the time but never quite get around to as much as I’d like: go to museums, movies, possibly

Back in the Game
The plague seems to have passed once again, hopefully for good this time. Made it to work yesterday, and even to our work holiday dinner. One more day and then I’m off for two weeks for a vacation right here in sunny NYC. But tonight, it’s Slice on Ice — the Slice Pizza Club trip

The Plague, Part Deux
So it’s back to the flannel pj’s for me. Even though I was just sick last week, apparently I didn’t kick the bug all the way. After spending most of yesterday afternoon blowing my nose (thank God for those lotion-y tissues, or my red nose would be in even worse shape than it currently is),

It’s 4:30 pm — Time to Get off the Couch
I’m actually wrapping up this weekend before the weekend’s over, for a change. After a somewhat draining week at work, I stayed in Friday night, stopping briefly at Von Singh’s for dinner on the way home, then flopping on the couch watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and knitting presents

ABC’s of my Weekend: Art, Burgers, and Crudo
I love how I’ve gotten into this ridiculous habit of "catching up" on my weekend activities sometime mid-week. I’ll throw in some of this week too, just as an extra added bonus. After recovering from my cold among other things, I was ready for a fairly mellow weekend, so I started off with a visit

Flannel PJ’s and Chicken Soup
First of all, gotta love it when you look at your referral stats and see that someone from the Pentagon’s been looking at your blog. And on a totally unrelated note . . . earlier this week, as I was sitting on my couch in my red flannel pajamas with a box of tissues, blowing

‘Tis the Season
Well, I made it through the double-header Thanksgiving, and I suddenly feel like the holiday season is upon me with a vengance. Holiday parties and events, shopping, making gifts (of both the knitted and chocolate varieties), putting together all the holiday tips for the doormen, and just my general busy social life — it’s a
