Hey y’all- long time no type. Truthfully- life has taken a mind of its own. Good news- I see the light maybe like two weeks away? Maybe. I think so. But in the mean time I just wanted to share something that has helped me keep my sanity. Massages. Lauren’s back has decided to also … Continue reading »
So we’ve got cabin fever up here in Harlem but with all the damage that Sandy has caused, we are incredibly lucky. We still have power and very little damage. The photos of the devastation in the city are amazing and I can’t believe they are real. The trains are pretty messed up and we … Continue reading »
Well, today was the day!! I started the new job! And like the first time around, it was just a lot of paperwork and setting things up. But so far do good!! And I’m not gonna lie, I got right off the train (no transfer needed!) walked to my new office, and just smiled and … Continue reading »
So this is my third time around with the Broadway posts, and since my last Broadway review, I’ve seen 3 more shows, 2 in the last week!. Again, none of which I paid for at full price! It is the only way to go! As an update, out of the 3 shows I reviewed last … Continue reading »

Well hoorah for my 100th post! I think that is pretty good since this blog is only 7 months old! In honor of my 100th post, I will eat 100 jelly beans, take 100 steps, and tape 100 pennies to a sheet of paper. (I miss 1st grade). To celebrate the 100th post, I will … Continue reading »
So since my last Broadway review, I’ve seen 3 more shows. None of which I paid for at full price again! It is the only way to go! As an update, out of the 3 shows I reviewed last time, only 1 is still running (War Horse). Follies ended it’s limited engagement and Bonnie and Clyde … Continue reading »
I thought about heading out for my long MLK weekend, traveling to a city or visiting friends but then I realized- I haven’t seen so much of my own city! And I didn’t want to deal with traffic. And my wallet was pretty tight after the holidays… So I jam-packed my MLK Weekend full of … Continue reading »
As I’ve already discussed, the holidays have very much begun in New York City! This evening was the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting and I wanted to attend. Say I did it and then never have to do it again. But I couldn’t find any helpful tips on how to manage the madness! None of my … Continue reading »
This weekend marked two very special moments- the start of the holiday season and the first visit from my bestie- Kaylee Dueber!! Along with a bunch of other super fun activities, including dancing with this looker: Dueber, Mary Grace and I went to the Bryan Park Holiday Shops. It was SO great. There were little … Continue reading »
So obviously now being in New York allows me access to Broadway shows all the time… technically. They are also kind of expensive and hard to go to frequently when you have a job that consumes life. But I have been able to fit in a few! Since I know so many of you want … Continue reading »
Right now I am writing this while doing my laundry and trick-or-treaters are coming in and out of the store. From this sentence you can tell two things: 1. Trick or treating is very different in New York. A bit sad in my opinion, but also adorable cause there are little kids everywhere! 2. Yes- … Continue reading »
As I walked down the street with laundry over the shoulder and coffee in hand, a group of men shouted at me “You live in Harlem Boo-Boo.” I still pinch myself. Am I really here? Four years ago living in Knoxville, heck ONE year ago, studying in Bloomington, I would have never in my wildest … Continue reading »
So this weekend I got to party hard with two super cool people… my grandparents. Yeah… be jealous. They came to New York at the end of a Northeast bus tour (coincidentally, they had already planned the trip before I knew I was moving to New York!) So with Grandpa Steve having never been to … Continue reading »
Ahhh… with a grilled cheese and sweet potato bisque soup next to me (thanks Trader Joe’s) and a full weekend behind me, nothing is better than a little Sunday night blogging. And I’ve got a lot to blog about. I did some great things this weekend, but first, let’s talk about Friday night… Thanks to … Continue reading »
Just a real quick video from an organization I love! This one was done last week in Union Square. One of my NY goals- be involved in an Improv Everywhere event. Don’t worry, I’m already on the mailing list. Today is a beautiful day and I love you all!
Well- I’ve completed my first week of work! That means, first week of figuring it all out, first week of meeting all new people, and first week of business attire everyday! I think it went pretty well! Truthfully, what happened in the office was a lot easier and less exhausting than what happened outside of … Continue reading »
Harumph. It actually took me longer than I expected, but I’m having my first major moment of frustration while in New York. It is due to the fact that apartment search is a bitch. Especially when you don’t know the different areas at all. Especially when you have roommates that have to be considered too. … Continue reading »
The worst is over!! I had my first day today!! I think it will be a good match. It is hard to tell though as I had a hard time processing anything more than “holy shit, I have so much to learn!”. It was quite overwhelming. There is so much. And as I mention prior, … Continue reading »
