I can't believe it's been over a year since my last post! A lot has happened since then, and when I looked back at previous posts, I realized the past year was a tough one! Sheesh! So, I've decided to brighten up my blog a bit - I think I have to learn how to personalize it some more so that I don't use the Blogger templates. So not creative! (Shame on me!)
Right now it's cold in New York, and I have to say that it's about time. I don't know about you, but it needs to be Fall already! We're supposed to have a pretty rough winter (when don't we??), so I am determined to enjoy what's left of jacket weather before it becomes jacket-scarf-hat-gloves-boot-bust-your-you-know-what-on-the-ice weather, believe me.
This past summer I was on a smoothie KICK...avocado/banana is my absolute fave! I want to get back on the smoothie train again, but the pending wintry weather definitely does not strike my smoothie fancy at all. I think I'm going to give it a cold weather try - I hear that pumpkin smoothies are rather delish, although it sounds kind of disgusting at the same time. I'm dying to purchase the VitaMix - it's supposed to be the king of blenders! Blades are so sharp and fast that you can even make hot soup - right in the blender! Crazy! The price is just as crazy...almost $500! What the...
I've also (slowly) gotten back to reading! Yay! Grown-up books! Double the yay! Currently I'm re-reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, who is by far, one of my favorite authors. I think he's an absolutely amazing and funny writer. I've also read Bossy Pants by Tina Fey and it's also pretty hilarious. Speaking of which, I'm still getting used to my BNN Nook that my bro got me last Christmas. It's as convenient as they say, folks. I don't even have to lug my laptop around if I just want to browse web when I have it. AND it fits in my purse without giving me a back/shoulder ache. The only thing is, I can't part from actual, tangible, able-to-write-in books. There's something about opening a book, feeling the pages, writing/highlighting on paper that I just can't give up! If BNN closes, I'm not sure what I'd do...
I don't know if it's settling into my 30's or what, but I'm REALLY into cardigans these days. I've been pairing them with everything! My current fave is actually from :gasp!: New York and Company in a very bright royal blue that I want to wear everyday. Seriously. It's just so warm and comfy! Its nemesis is a longer version in gray that goes with just about everything I own. On a side note, my goal this winter is to wear as many bright, obnoxiously summery colors as possible. I think I'm getting over the neutral/gray/black tones. Join me in this revolution!
In any case, we are into the wee hours of Friday and I couldn't be happier! This week was the s...l...o...w...e...s...t... ever!!!
Hellooooo, weekend! =)
