Everyone around here is anxious to kick off their 4th of July weekends a bit early, and I am no exception. I can’t wait to leave work and finish up a few last minute errands before a little date night. Then tomorrow it’s party time! Now that the fireworks are back on the East River,…

I’m in a stupendous mood today! Why, you ask? Because my Mom is coming tonight, that’s why! When she found a super cheap flight a year ago, she booked a solo trip on a whim (much to my Daddy’s chagrin who was feeling very left out). We had so much fun last time that she…

I’m off to Savannah today! The main even is a friend’s wedding, but I intend to schedule plenty of time to relax by the pool/river. Background: Albert’s subway stop is Astoria Blvd. I mistakenly thought it was Queens Blvd and spoke like I was a character in Entourage all weekend (where Queens Blvd plays an…

And the busy weeks just keep coming. My crazy work schedule has seriously cut into my gym sessions, but as of today, busy work life should be transitioning to busy social life – far more preferable. Background: An ad campaign I worked on was up for an award last week and this is a shot…

It happened: my first real weekend work day. I was stuck in the office on Sunday longer than some people spend at work on a weekday. It was a shame to have a 1-day weekend, but at least the work I was doing was interesting. There’s also been some other fun stuff going on: Throughout…
