Happy Turkey Day, bloggies! I am thankful for so much; even my daily subway ride makes me smile. This week’s background is the heavy door to Quality Meats restaurant. This guy was just DJ’ing away in the middle of the Times Square subway station. Street performers make the commute far more entertaining. I’ve been attempting…

I am so far behind my NaNoWriMo goal it scares me. Thankfully, I have a relatively low-key weekend planned so I intend to hole myself up in the coffee house and crank out some serious writing. While most people get bored of the heat and welcome the crisp Fall air, I would be happy to…

I’m glad I had two relaxing nights at the beginning of the week because I have been busy since last night. With the rest of the week/weekend being filled by dinners, volunteering, and a visit from Liz, I’m busy but happy. My friend Marilyn is lucky enough to have a balcony off her room with…

Happy Halloween, bloggies! This week has been very busy so I am glad it’s more than halfway over. I’m looking forward to some QT with a bottle of wine tomorrow. This week’s background is a shot of the old escalators in Macy’s Herald Square. Even after a major renovation, these remain and I love them…

I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple short weeks in a row. It feels a bit strange to now have a full, 5-day work week. On top of that, the cool weather has hit New York and is finding its groove. I’m sure I’ll be very sick of it soon; but now, with the…

A trip home is always wonderful, but when it’s unexpected it’s an extra special treat. I am leaving tonight for a wedding in Charleston and taking a slight detour through Savannah. My brother and sister in law are also going to the wedding so we’re able to hop in their backseat for the two hour…

I’m so happy to have finally gotten back into a [more] normal routine. I am back to cooking regularly, and I am working my way back into a regular gym routine (baby steps). It feels good to behave like a normal person…though all that routine is going to go out the door when I leave…

Thanks to a bye week for football, it looks like this weekend will be pretty calm. It sounds cheesy, but I plan to use the free time to reflect and enjoy the fleeting moments found between the seasons. This week’s background pic is a shot from Central Park, which just happens to be a great…
