{ christmas oh ten }

two thousand and ten truly was another amazing year

merry merry christmas everyone!  

{ dyker lights }

dyker heights, um, I mean dyker lights! 

it was a last minute trip and there were too many of us but we packed

ourselves in nice and cozy into Dozier's Soob and made our way to the lights!

It was freezing but well worth the trek because it felt like Christmas there...

{ resolutions oh ten }

every year my new years resolutions go something like this

eat better, workout more, spend less, save more

blah, blah, blah... 

it's a constant battle 

so this year, I decided those items are getting checked off my list forever. 

because they are things I should be doing on a daily basis, all year long anyways

so this year my resolutions are going to be different...

I'm putting people on my new years resolutions
I want to see you all more and not just for 5 minutes at a party or on Facebook...

we all get so busy but I'm going to try and call more and text less 

(although if you have heytell, you'll be getting heytells because heytell is by far my favorite app of 2010)

I'd much rather hear your sweet voices
and it's way more fun than trying to text and walk at the same time, which I do all too frequently.
Multitasking is my thing but I don't think I'll ever master texting and walking at the same time
it's tricky...I maybe walked into something in the lobby of a hotel the other morning
while trying to master both simultaneously...haha.

{ bergdorf oh ten }

bergdorf never ever fails to impress...

{ hudson skate party }

I was proud of myself tonight...

i pulled the mormon card, almost literally

and got my friend into a club 

even though she didn't have her id

the hudson hotel opened it's basement 

to a slew of roller skaters

and we were some of them

so random, but a fun night out

and yes, we walked to 7-11 in times square for slurpees afterwards

who does that?!? apparently we do. 

{ wedding stache }

mustaches look good on us! 

happy wedding day abby & travis!

{ twenty nine degrees }

my phone says it's 29 degrees right now 

but it feels like ten

it's freeeeeeeeeezing 

I'm getting wimpy again 

the cold was fun for awhile but I'm over it

please take me anywhere where I don't have to wear my big, puffy

down filled sleeping bag that some call a jacket

{ still looking for rad }

my colleagues constantly tease me about the guys I date...

they're convinced I'm going to marry a guy named Rad from California. 

mostly because for one reason or another, I don't often date guys in NYC. 

It's not that I don't like NYers...

I just always find great guys in California or somewhere out west

( The left coast will always have a part of my heart I guess ) 

and they think that I only date guys with not so normal names...

I love the Johns and Bens and Mikes of the world 

but I guess I'm still looking for Rad. 

If you know him, feel free to introduce us.

{ all my friends are blonde... }

not true but I had a funny conversation with my roommate about that on the subway
this morning. She ran into some friends of mine the day before and met another
friend of mine who she figured was my friend because she was cute & blonde. 

{ a walk in cpk }

sometimes I feel like I'm living in the perfect movie 

an early morning meeting for a run turned into 

a fall walk in central park...because it was too beautiful to run

it wasn't a day to miss the details:

fall leaves and sunshine and blue skies and music on the mall

and being so happy we did cartwheels in the leaves

just like we did when we were kids

we can run any day...today was a day for walking
