Weekend Recap
Spending a little quality time with the pup and husband
A giant glass of wine on Friday and then off to bed around 11pm
Saturday morning shopping found some cute trouser jeans, that hopefully I can get away with wearing to work on Fridays
Saturday night dinner out with friends from work, tried an amazing Tibetan restaurant in Jackson Heights, walked through an avenue with window displays full...
No Obligation Book Club →
My Mother’s a Librarian and recommended the no obligation book club through Real Simple. Finally found a book club that works with my schedule. Great idea if you can’t figure out what to read next.

Is it Friday yet??
I’m done with this week. Let’s just erase it, pretend it never happened and start over next week, okay? Darn, still have to make it through Friday somehow, someway. Then I plan on curling up under the covers, eating cheetos healthy food, and drinking all the wine while watching repeats of the League until I feel happy.

An embarrassing story - I'm a giant Klutz
Today, because I am so very graceful, I straight up tumbled down the stairs going into the 42nd street station. I’m not even talking like a little fall, I mean rolled down head over heels. All I know is I misplaced my footing, thought oh no I’m going down, and the next thing I knew people were telling me not to get up and asking if I needed them to call an ambulance. The moment people...

This is really gross, honestly forever unclean.

Just realized my dog sort of resembles a gremlin, but I’m okay with that.

Celebrated Valentines Day yesterday because we both have today off. Last night was one of those epic nights spent hopping from place to place in the city. We started off at Gyu Kaku and somehow ended up at a random late night comedy show where we were singled out for being “the married couple”. After the comedy show we finished our drinks upstairs listening to a band. It’s never...

Questions Game
Because I wasn't quiet in the tumblr mood today, I'm taking it back to the myspace days of random questions. So without further ado let's play 20 questions:
If you were a color what shade would you be?
Blue, blue all day everyday.
If you had to take an illegal drug, which one?
I'd rather just have the occasional cocktail or glass of wine. Okay, who am I kidding? Change that to 3 glasses of wine.
Favorite cartoon from the 1990's...
They're Pinky they're Pinky and the Brain, brain, brain, brain...
Favorite song from the 80's
The Cure -- Just Like Heaven
Do you own a iPhone?
Yes and I don't think I could live without it, can't even remember how I got things done without it. I mean how did I not get lost in the past? I must have really had to plan things out prior to leaving the house. Now I just leave with a vague idea of what it is I want to accomplish. For example eat all the pizza could be a potential thought in my head, and then that will turn into Iphone give me all the answers for the world's greatest pizza located within a two mile radius of me. Seriously, how did we live without this before? We must have actually had to try things without knowing reviews, that my friends is risky living.
Would you ever be a stripper?
Survey says.. no. It would be good to have a fallback career choice. Maybe I should invest in some pole dancing classes. Let's be honest, I am clumsy and awkward, the complete opposite of graceful. It is highly doubtful that any man would really pay to watch me gyrate. I dance from time to time in my living room, not really a stripper dance, but more in aimless circles and that is where the dancing will stay. Unless I've had 3 cocktails.
How would you want to die?
Wow, these random surveys are deep. I want to live forever or at least be reincarnated as a turtle. In other words I refuse to answer this question.
If you were a member of the opposite sex, what would your name be?
I need an Italian gangsta name like Tony, "hey Tony" (picture that with a NY/NJ accent) I think I've been watching Mob Wives a little too much.
Do you like to curse?
Not particularly, unless I really feel like the sentence or idea I'm explaining really need the added emphasis. Or I'm just in a foul mood, sometimes it slips. Usually I still end up apologizing for my language, even though I don't have to apologize, but that comes from the side of me that actually still has manners. Keeping with the theme of honesty, the manners are buried under layers of sarcasm and continual eye rolling. I still say please and thank you, even an occasional excuse me. Really, the excuse me part probably comes out rudely like, "excuuuse me!" I still try to say it though and that is what counts. I blame New York for the downfall of my manners.
What's the longest amount of time you have spent without any sleep?
Maybe a night or two, mama needs her sleep. I'm not a very nice person running on lack of sleep, just ask my husband.
Name 3 things you can't live without.
Literal things: food, water, sleep obviously
Other things, that may not kill me to live without, but I would be very, very sad: the husband who makes my me a happier, less cynical person. My car and yes I know I live in NY, it is totally unnecessary to own a car. I tried living without it for a year, I survived, but there is something deeply ingrained in me from my California upbringing that feels totally incomplete without having a car. I mean have you ever tried to carry all your groceries home in a cart? It doesn't sound that bad, but I'm talking giant cases of toilet paper and paper towels here, it's not fun. I mean even buying crap from Ikea turns into a complete puzzle because at the end of the trip you have to figure out how you are going to get it home on the subway. Nevermind, I don't need a bed frame after all I'll just sleep on the ground. Sorry I'm rambling where was I going with this?
Awe yes, numero 3: at this point in my life I want to say sweatpants, because when I get home from work there is no better feeling than putting on sweatpants. However, I know this is the wrong thing to say so I'm changing number 3 to family because it is the right thing to do. I'm still leaning pretty heavily towards sweatpants though, I mean really, let's just all admit it they are pretty great.

Random thoughts of the day
Restructuring is a fancy way of saying firing
People at the top of the food chain are not even safe from this so called “restructuring”
Change is not always good, and people can deliver the most unnerving news with a smile on their face, which disturbs me
Leopard print MC Hammer pants are really not attractive especially when tucked into knee length boots — as seen on while...
