It’s hot. H-O-T. 103 degrees of wet, slimy, nasty hotness. The subway is not even a regular oven, it’s one of those pizza ovens and I’m the mozzarella. Makeup is a farce, doing anything other than putting my sopping wet hair into a bun is futile. So yeah. It’s hot. Fortunately, before this latest episode [...]

Yeah, so if I was going to write a post about my week, the headline pretty much says it all. However, I managed to bookend my snarfing with a good deal of fun, so I suppose I’ll tell you about that instead. Aren’t you all lucky? As I mentioned, my dad and his wife, Patrice, [...]

It’s been pretty quiet since I returned from my Asia trip. That will end soon, so we’re relishing the little bit of relaxation time we’ve been given.

For those of you not on the east coast, it was a [...]

So we survived our first big wedding planning weekend. Let’s hope the magical wedding fairies take over and handle everything from here. Otherwise, you’ll find us both on the fast train to Vegas for a date with Father Elvis. We locked down our reception menu, our welcome dinner venue, and our day-after brunch location. I [...]

I keed, I keed. No Filet ‘o Fish electronica here. I’ll keep that nasty demon on the hamster wheel in my head so as not to inflict it on you. The rest of our weekend was relaxing and lovely. We didn’t do much on Saturday til the evening. Mike’s a big Syracuse fan (and I’m [...]

So, it snowed again. Anyone surprised? My office is technically open today, but I walked out the front door this morning and walked right back in again. Hell no I’m not going to work in that. While Manhattan may be sparkly and clean (well, for Manhattan), Brooklyn’s still covered in snow — I’ve yet to [...]

Ok, I’ll say it now. I’ll be wearing a white Snuggie as my wedding gown. This city is killing me with its deliciousness. We had a fantastic weekend. On Saturday we met up with our good friend Can from grad school. He was in town to visit his friend Amy and so swung by to [...]
