Bad karma coming my way
One thing you need to know about me: I am terrified of bugs. Really, really scared of them. That said, I was walking down 17th Street in NYC yesterday when I saw the biggest bug I think I’ve ever seen. In my life. The bad part? It was on the back of a woman’s shirt.…

NYC subway, a cappuchino, and my iPhone
I got my iPhone 3G in July. Since then, I have had no stress. None. I am serious. Since I work for myself, I am always working. (I’m not complaining one bit – I can also take a nap in the middle of the day if I choose!). This means if I am away from my…

Overheard on street
At Coffee Shop Bar, Union Square West, New York City Two girls are discussing a guy that Girl A is dating. Girl A is upset because Guy has not been contacting her as frequently as she thinks he should. So last week, she tells Girl B, he sent her a text message. “A text message! So I called…

Laughing at the 15-year-old me (and my friends)
I may have mentioned that I’m slightly addicted to organizing. When the baseboards have been cleaned and the tile grout scrubbed and the light fixtures dusted (yes, I’m serious), then I move on to see how I can further organize something – anything. Recently I came to realize that I have no organization when it…

Healthy eating, and keeping proof
Until recently I knew nothing about healthy eating. Seems like a silly thing to say, but I really didn’t understand how to keep it all straight. I mentioned this to my mom one day, and she told me about a website that you can track your meals through. I tried it out and loved it!…

Weird paintings and exgirlfriends
Do you like this painting? Alexander Calder lithograph This is an Alexander Calder lithograph that used to belong to Jeff’s stepfather. It was given to Gray (Jeff’s stepfather) by a former girlfriend – and Jeff’s mom always hated it. They “pawned” it off on him, which made him happy – he loves it! In fact,…

Can a person have too many friends?
My friend Ronnie has told me lately that he’s had a slew of friend requests on Facebook. All are people that he knows – but many are people he has not spoken with in years – since high school (he’s 31). He mentions this to me as he ponders why, exactly, these people are getting…

My favorite healthy choices
I’ve started to rely heavily on certain items when I want to make easy healthy choices. Jeff laughs because he can guess every time we go to the grocery store what I am going to buy – I tend to get the same staples over and over again. Here are a few of my favorites:…
