piles and piles.
I am packing up my winter stuff and bringing out my summer/spring stuff from last year in hopes that this single act will keep the weather warm here. I am now lying on a pile of clothes that I do NOT want to put away. Life would be so much easier with a walk-in closet.
day 340 :: errands and more errands
Yawn. I am groggy today. I need to go for a run. Last night I was hoping to stay home and relax but then my friend Justin came back into town from Georgetown (where he is getting his MBA, did I mention this already? See I’m so out of it, I can’t even remember what I wrote). So anyways, we ended up out in the West Village—-Extra Virgin (who knew they had such great mojitos, good...

tudors to tequila.
What a regression I am having this evening. I was hoping to have a lovely evening full of watching a marathon of The Tudors. I hadn’t yet dove into this season full force and now I’ve already watched the first three episodes (go Brandon! go Catherine! I can’t wait for Anne to go down in a blaze of glory).

day 341: highs and lows.
Today started fabulously well…I slept in and got more sleep than I needed which is helping to heal my allergies that are currently attacking my immune system and making it hard for me to breathe and giving me the sniffles. I stepped outside to take Elle on a long walk in sunny but semi-cold weather and got a call from Carlos who was at the airport in Honolulu, flying to New Orleans after a...

day 342.
I’m all sniffles today and I just got an alert from weather.com “there is a high pollen alert in your area” ya think? why couldn’t you have told me that like a week ago so I could have stock piled the zyrtec and avoided this sniffle shindig? sigh. so last night was utter maddness and whatever i wrote on here, forgive me, i was intoxicated and i’m sure it didn’t...
