On Suburbia.
Meg just called me out on my love of suburban malls (I begged her to take me to one yesterday while I was visiting her in CT), I was so excited to have all these stores in one place AND a Starbucks.  True story - when I was growing up the closest mall to my town was about 45 minutes away (even now we only have an outlet mall and that’s still a 25 minute drive) so it was a big deal to go and...

The Initials and I have known each other for just over 3 years. Our love has ebbed and flowed like I always imagined love would. We have been though huge ups, and huge downs and many in betweens. We have loved each other deeply, and challenged each other each day.  But how we feel each other today is different than this time last year.  And we have decided that is ok.  It isn’t...

My evening.
I decided to go to the gym.  I got dressed.  I started walking.  I walked in a puddle.  My foot got soaked.  I walked home.  I poured wine.  The end.

My little corner of the world is changing.  Some of the changes are good, some really awful - but needed.  Life as I know it is now different - there are new adventures,  new experiences, new everythings.  but tonight, tonight I will drink champagne,  I will have dinner with my best friend I will be present in this moment and leave tomorrow to tomorrow.

Yay! ...
My buddy is amazing! The day before I left for Vegas a bee-you-tee-ful package arrived on my doorstep! Inside I found the most adorable story and a bunch of fabulous gifts just for me! My bud really gets me. Included in my story/package: ‘She grabs her awesome POLKA DOT SOCKS and pulls on her Hunter rain boots as Montauk tugs at her leash. She swipes some BURTS BEES CHAPSTICK on and runs...

messily asked: I've had a similar mail situation — when I lived in LA, I would sometimes get magazines meant for the man who lived in my apartment number, but in the next building over. I would always go over and leave them in his lobby. One year we were watching the Oscars and the winner of best short film had an oddly familiar name — then I realized it was because I'd seen it on all...

Thank you!
For all the shoe ideas! You guys are amazing! I still haven’t settled on a pair as you gave me too many options but I am hoping once I return from Vegas I can buy all of them with my winnings.

Mail Fail.
Remember when I posted about the lovely package just waiting for it’s owners in the lobby of our building? If not you can catch up here. Well that was actually the 2nd time I decided to play mail fairy. The first time I just marched over to the correct apartment, rang the doorbell and dropped off their package - the 2nd time I facebook messaged them.  Well it happened again! A GIGANTIC...

Flats!
Team! I need your help! I am in the market for a cute pair of comfortable black flats for work - I have to walk around A LOT for the new job and need a pair of fabulous shoes to get the job done.  I would prefer if they were black but they can have accent colors (bonus points for bows) - I have searched and searched and just can’t find anything I love.  Any ideas?

Oh no.
I woke up sick sick sick this morning, not due to champers but due to my slight cold that decided to go rogue in the middle of the night.  The Initials took Montauk to stock up on supplies for my sick day and when he comes back it will be like Santa walked in the room.  Tissues! for ME! AND ginger ale? You shouldn’t have.
