  • Getting my culture on

    Getting my culture on

    OOF – Edward Ruscha My thoughts exactly.  OOF. In an effort to get out and experience more culture in NYC, I went to the MOMA one night after work. I am not a museum person at all. I quite literally ran through the Louvre in Paris and waited in the lobby of the National Gallery…

    Nightly Ritual

    I like reliable. I like consistent. No real secrets here. There are many great things about “living” in the Hilton, but one of them is consistency. Every night around 6pm, a lady comes around to each room and turns down the bed. Best part of this? She leaves two little chocolates on the pillow.  I…

  • Crazy Social….

    Crazy Social….

    Normally during a work week, I’m “social” one night a week. The rest of the week I grab takeout and eat it on my giant king-size bed. I’m not complaining, I love eating a bacon cheeseburger in bed. Its sneaky luxury that I would never do in my own bed. This past week was a…

  • Mayor Battle

    Mayor Battle

     I’ve been on Foursquare since last June just before I went to Ireland. I blogged about the life of a suburban Foursquare user during the summer. At that point I was the mayor of 16 locations that included some of my daily “hotspots” like the gym, the porch, the beach, etc. (Can you see that…

  • Ladies Night!

    Ladies Night!

    I love an excellent ladies night but even more than that… I love an unexpected one! I ended up staying in NYC this Thursday night and got a spontaneous dinner with one of my friends (and one of her old co-workers). Despite the icky Manhattan weather, we ventured out to Wine:30 in the Murray Hill…

  • I'm a good date

    I'm a good date

    I’m long overdue on a few blog posts, one of which is the post about ice skating in Rockefeller Center. Back in November / December, I took myself on a date after work. It was the best kind of date in that it was a total surprise and I had a great time, even though……

  • Its Christmas

    Its Christmas

    so get ready. I f-ing love Christmas. At some point, I’ll write a post with perhaps a top ten list of my reasons but until then you’ll just have to trust me. My family is very laid back when it comes to holidays for the most part – except for Christmas. We love to decorate…

  • So I've been busy

    So I've been busy

    One of the benefits of my blog is that I consider it almost like a repository of the things that I’ve done / seen / read / found …. so I feel a little guilty when I’m not on top of posting. Work has gotten busy recently and so the idea of posting 5 times…
