Autumn in New York....

....Why does it seem so inviting?

Its no secret that fall is my favorite season. The air is crisp, trees are changing, farmers are bringing their amazing ciders to out door markets, and the list could go on.

Today is one of those perfect New York days. The sky is gray, the air is chill and crisp and the leaves on the trees in Union Square park are a bright, golden yellow.

I went to the farmers market over in Union Square and bought fresh apple cider. The man selling it almost had me sold on pear cider, but I decided to stick to what I knew and went with apple.

Tonight I'm going to be lame and do laundry (which is beginning to take over my apartment), and make Irish Stew with lamb. I'll keep those of you who read this posted on how it turns out...

Tuesday, Tuesday....

I feel the need to rant a little on this Tuesday morning. Somedays the MTA simply pisses me off.

This morning I get on a packed train only to find that everyone has congregated by the door because they are either a)too lazy to move to the center, or b) too stupid to move to the center where more people can board the train. I'm going with option B.

Then, when a seat finally opens up, I have to squeeze in because two rather obese people have decided to create a Ginny sandwhich. The best part is they both look at me as though they are annoyed...

My morning commute makes me miss driving!!

I then realized that I had left the very visible tag on my new toothpick cords I bought at J.Crew yesterday. Now, that's not super embarrassing as it would have been in college. I've managed to widdle myself down to a size 4 as opposed to the MUCH larger size I was back then...I'll omit the former size in order to keep some shred of dignity.

I'm now currently at work and have managed to calm myself down with two cups of coffee and Bob Dylan...Tuesday is looking better already.

SUCCESS!

Yes! I now know I can update from my backberry! Yayy!

However, this means I have no excuse for not updating.

Gotta love the way technology traps you....

Crossing My Fingers

Ok...so, I know its been a really loooong time since I've blogged, but I have several valid excuses.

First, my computer crashed. In June. Can't get it fixed. Saving for a Mac and never buying a PC EVER AGAIN!

Second reason is that I moved...again. I'm back in Brooklyn. The Manhattan apartment was a bust. Needless to say, I was dying to go back to Brooklyn. So I did. I'm in a great two bedroom with a fabulous roomate who is from Nashville...who would have thought?! We are in Williamsburg, which is a very artisitc/hipster kind of neighborhood. Not exactly J.Crew, but its great.

I'm updating from my blackberry...let's cross our fingers that this is actual going to work and does not result in my screaming and cursing and throwing the damn thing across the room.
