The Sky’s the Limit

I have big news!  I know I was a bit of a tease with my previous posts (alluding to a surprise and then holding out on you is not my style, so I apologize), but you don’t have to wait a second longer for the big reveal…DRUMROLL PLEASE… I am now a shopkeeper with OpenSky, a site devoted to helping passionate people share their favorite products with the rest of the internet using world.  I have been working a long time on getting my shop perfect for it’s grand opening, and although I still have… Read more >

Lazy foodie

I was too lazy to make coffee this morning, so I headed to Starbucks to get my java fix…plus I’m way more productive without Bravo in the background.  Although I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, I am enjoying the heart cups.  I busted out an apple after my soy misto. Around noon I headed home for lunch.   Mostly I wanted avocado, so I made sure my meal revolved around that.  BBQ sauce/nooch covered one half of the WF sandwich thin, with avocado lathered on the opposite half. I had a bowl of sweet… Read more >

Red Flags

The storm warnings on every media outlet… The closing of all NYC public schools… Yes, there were several red flags that should have clued me into the fact that this Wednesday would be far worse than the average hump day.  But I’m never one to heed warning signs (that or I’m too dense optimistic to let them get to me…).

Pearly whites & snowy nights

After my sophisticated breakfast of an apple and frothy cup of coffee, I headed to the dentist’s office for a routine cleaning.  Since I was in midtown, I met up with Kyle after my appointment to show off my sparkling new pearly whites.  I owe my cavity free chompers to these babies.  Kyle and I went for a little stroll before he returned to work. Entering through Artisan’s Gate (Central Park South and 7th Ave)… A crossroads in The Park (if there’s ever a park to be capitalized and deemed “THE” park, it should be… Read more >

Food prep (aka AAAA part 3)

Work dayyyy… Big salad, small salad, Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna bar, Honey Graham Z bar, Tazo chai tea, and 2 apples (gala and pinata) So yeah.  Moving on to the last of the AAAA (refer back to part 1 & part 2 if you missed it)… 3.  The last issue I want to tackle relates to my days off.  I cut myself MAJOR slack on work days (probably more than I should).  But let’s face it, completing a 12 hour shift shouldn’t equate to a get-out-of-jail-free card.  It’s not brain surgery (it’s heart surgery –… Read more >
