If you’re a New Yorker, I highly recommend a weekend trip to Philly. I went this past weekend as a belated anniversary/valentines celebration with Albert who planned the whole thing as a surprise.

I hope everyone is loving 2014 so far. This is my first full week back in the office in quite a while so I’m still getting my bearings. Without any holidays to look forward to for a while, the winter no longer means fun; it means cold. I’m keeping myself mentally warm by remembering all…

As you can tell by the lack of posts, I took a nice lil break over the holidays. My office was closed starting 12/24 and I decided to totally check out. My much needed break started with a family ski trip (the background of today’s post is the plane ride from Colorado) and ended with…
