yes, in the fine words of carol king.

i feel like I've lost so many friends in the last year. people that i became incredibly close to, who just aren't really a part of my life anymore.

that sucks.

i guess its time to make some new friends. not easy to do.

we all need hot chocolate, a good book, and someone to snuggle with! mmm...blankies

it must not be driven in fear that it might blow up. here we go again. i hope i don't get scorched on the way to the shop!

started my laundry way too late

work early

think i need to eat less/no dairy.

p.s. i want the world to know how much i hate laundry!

I live for today!


in the words of reverend run, "[size=m]do your best and forget the rest[/size]. "

bathroom wall at welcome to the johnsons. a new york fav. $2 cans of prb. nice.



crappy viewof the stage at the bright eyes show in jersey city.


door of the historical museum libs. (e:paul) and i spent some time opening the door to buffalo's past.


did anyone else see this at the corner of elmwood/hertel a while back? did you also think, wtf?


me and baby holden. he's my nannu.


sleeping monstercutie!


man with mullet @ bright eyes show. go mullets!


my friends nicole and baby holden, the nannu. they gaze into eachothers eyes. aw.


some shrimp and pasta i made for (e:paul) a couple weeks back. he was hungry. i made him deliciousness.


some of the most expensive real estate in the world... a view from the recption area wondow at (e:hodown)'s office. if you aren't familiar, that is the famed Central Park, designed by Olmstead, who also designed Buffalo's park sytem.(im sure most of you know that, and if you didn't, you should)

harry connick jr is on today. he's sexy and funny. and he has a great voice. go figure. where can i find me a charming man like that?

i have to upload some pics, but im too lazy right now. also to lazy to clean my place. waking up for work at 6 doesn't help either.

i hope this weekend kicks ass, i miss my friends. but, we'll have quality time this weekend.

xmas time! who wants to come over and help me decorate and listen to chessy xmas music? funnnnnnnn!





ps. in six months, i plan to have long hair. long wavy hair. with lots of layers. i love long hair!!!!!!!! like anybody cares. but the short hair thing isn't doing it for me anymore.

pps. i want a puggle too.

at least i will be the most stylish (e:peep) when i do return, if they let me on the plane. i guess my story is that i was pickpoccketed, and had some money and my id taken.

i can't decide if ny is where i want to live. i do love it, but its so different. i guess my main concern would be ending up here and being lonely. i really don't like to be alone. so, all this comes down to, is getting a boyfriend or a little dog. maybe both. lol.

why do all of the women here look like models? thats intimidating.

i guess id just have to take my look to a whole new level, plus never eat. wait, the eating part, not happening. eh. oh well.

i completed my shopping extravaganza yesterday with some green cargos and a pair of boots. whoopee.

we also had the most delicious cuban food. they had this grilled corn with mayo and parm cheese and chili powder. it sounds gross, but it is seriously good.

i must go now and gargle salt water. the coughing has started again. it must be tradition for me to get sick on every trip, or most trips.

then pack, clean, eat? meet sista for lunch in the park. oh la la. :O)

oh, and for all the people who said bright eyes sucks in concert, the show was great. i really really liked one of the openers, "the magic numbers", and now own their cd. yay for music.

so, i made it to NY, minus the id, without any offers for a ride to the airport, and on little sleep. to all you, and you know who you are, who could've given me a ride, %&*@ you, i'll remember this later when you need a ride somewhere.

anywho. i got into JFK, had to wait in line for the ladies room, and made my way down to the lovely baggage carousel. waited for it to start moving. waited some more. waited. headed over to a worker, told me my bag should be in the jet blue baggage office. loOKed around, and found it. not it. someone elses bag, and im thinking, this bag sure does look like mine. not it.

some asshole ran off with my bag! wtf? so, they retrieve his info and call him to tell him he's got the wrong bag. he refuses to bring it back or give an address where it can be picked up. and about ten jet blue workers get on with "bag stealing crazy". finally, he gives his address. woo. the whole time, im thinking, "this trip is fucked". end of story, i get my bag delivered before we get home from the grocery store, and the delivery guy is nice enough to hide it so it doesn't get stolen(between two garbage cans, mind you.lol.).

apparently two sisters were injured by a float, and i believe i witnessed the ambulance heading away from the scene. the supershuttle driver headed us right into the parade. fun. however, i did get to see the wiener dog float and the tail end of the barney float. woo.

ok. now to the good stuff. today was fabulous. i boght some much needed winter gear. many great finds, only spent $120.

here's what i got:


1. white down coat. knee length. belted wait. detachable hood. ample pockets. the perfect coat. stylish, practical. so warm!

...fashion show anyone?

but for real, NY is so the place to shop. i found so many great things, and things i need either on sale for a great price, or secondhand and quality. i bought a cashmere sweater for $4!

watch out boys. it'll be cold outside, but i'll be heatin' up the streets!

p.s. we had the best lunch at a noodle place in union square. Republic. curried duck noodles. yummy! im off to nap and then pregame before we head off to park slope for a show. what will i wear?
