  • Giggles = Needed

    Giggles = Needed

    In the event you are in need of a giggle this hump day, I stumbled upon this video of a baby penguin… being …. tickled. And yes, it is as cute as you would expect it to be. Quick update? I had a really great weekend in NYC with my friend Ria and other new…

  • Just glorious

    My fitbit tells me that I walked 9.14 miles before sitting here. Just kicking it on the High Line park doing all of the following: Reading a book Kicking my feet up Eating a snickerdoodle cookie …. and …. Soaking in some sun. Just glorious

    3 Things I Can't Live Without … during a work day.

    The Away Game

    I’m not at all going to pretend that my career is similar to that of a long-haul trucker. Not for one bit. Beyond the solitary nature of their work, there are the strains of driving for hours and hours at a time. I don’t mind driving – in fact I prefer it to being a…

    (Even More) Spring

     Are you tired of my spring posts yet? I hope not. The office that I’m currently working out of is located on 42nd Street in Manhattan. I would not have expected there to be flowers on the street in the middle of NYC but there are …. and its glorious. I love walking to my…

  • Thanks Spring.

    Thanks Spring.

    Dear Spring, Thanks so much for coming to visit NYC today. I truly appreciate it. In your honor, I had two iced drinks and they were both fabulous. If you could please stick around for a bit that’d be great, especially this weekend because I’m going to stay in NYC. I’d would like to be…

This weekend, I took it a step further. Its porch season baby. Living in suburbia has its challenges for sure, but there are things that…

  • Mac&Cheese + Twitter

    Mac&Cheese + Twitter

    Why yes…. I am quite lucky. I’ve blogged about Mac and Cheese several times before and how happy it makes me. Other things that make me happy? Fleece, coffee, sweatpants …. and winning prizes. A few weeks ago, I read an article on Mashable describing a recent promotion that Kraft was running for tweeting about…

    So, you wanna link?

     LinkedIn recently just passed the 100 million members mark. Congrats CEO. This is a product that I really believe in. Its a great way to network and see who is in my circle. But, just like any social networking tool there is the inherent issue of two things in my mind: people who want to…
