Oh, hey! Didn't see you there!

Where have I even been?!

First of all, I have a book blog that I blog on every single possible day ever. I've been reading a crapload more than I have in centuries (yes, centuries. I am immortal) and I haven't been doing too much else.

For this reason and this reason alone, I don't have much to say on this page! But fear not faithful reader (I would think that there's only one of you reading my blog faithfully), I will blog on this page the way I used to in the olden days when I took small events that would happen to me and make them impossibly epic. Like I do.

Thanks for reading,

Slushpocalypse: PART FÜNF!!!

Captain's log: alright, let me not even try to pretend that I know what that means or that I watched Star...Trek? to know what he'd say next.
Point is, now that the snow has started to melt at rapid speeds, it's ridiculously slush-tastic outside. I have a temp gig around 5th ave and I think that Slush + Tourists rivals that of Umbrellas + Tourists...or, dare I say it, 42nd Street + TOURISTS!!!! Get me outta here!

PS: That bus I took a picture of was still stuck in the snow when I got home that night.

Snowpocalypse 2010

Unless you live in the Center of the Earth you've heard about Snowmaggedon in NYC, and I suppose other parts of the east coast. The problem with snow storms and mass transit is that now matter how many inches of snow fall, the trains are gonna be all messed up. And when the trains get all messed up, people can't get to work. And when NYers can't get to work...all hell breaks loose.
People get all stupid and try to drive in the snow. We don't know how to drive defensively in the not-snow let alone the highly HIGHLY cautious type of driving you've gotta do IN the snow.
The picture above is of the bus that got stuck on the street as I was on my way to work. Poor guy. Where the hell are the plow trucks?

2011 Resolution Challenge!!

I stumbled across an amazing 2011 challenge!Marie @ Just a Mom is hosting the 2011 Resolution Challenge. Here are some deets lifted directly from her page:

"I decided to look at the areas I want to improve (or make more time for) and they are:

Organization
Health
Kids
Money/Finances
Spiritual
Food

Every Saturday (starting with Jan 1st) I will post a challenge in each of these areas. Each month there will be a room that we are working in for the organization aspect. So on Jan. 1st you will see a post that looks like this:

Organization weekly challenge: set a timer for 20 minutes and clean out your messiest drawer/cabinet. On Saturday start with your messiest, Sunday the next messiest and so on.

Health Weekly Challenge: drink 6-8 glasses of water. Water. Crystal light, diet soda etc do not count. You can have as much as you want of the others, but you have to drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.

Now that you have seen what it will look like, I will also post a daily challenge. This will be put up every day and not listed in the weekly post. For example you will see, " clear off the fridge of all magnets, art work etc. Wash front. Put back only what is needed."

I've been telling myself that time is slipping away and I most certainly need to organize my life! Check out her page if you'd like to join!

Meet me on Monday #2

 Meet me on Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Java at nevergrowingold.blogspot.com

Questions:
1.  What are your New Year's Eve plans?

I really wanted to throw a party at my place but will probably end up watching the fireworks at Prospect Park if they have them this year! 

2.  How tall are you?

I am an astonishing 5'3 1/2!

 
3.  What is your favorite pudding flavor?

I guess Vanilla! I'm a plain jane kinda girl in the flavor department!

4.  What room of the house do you blog the most in?

I try not to blog right before bed, but I always do. So I'd say in my bedroom, even though I'm blogging from the study right now!

5.  What is your best physical feature?

I personally think my eyes are amazing. I've heard it said many a time. But I can guarantee that if I took a poll I'd get a much naughtier answer than that. HA! 

Thanks for reading. And head back to Java's page to see all the other Meet Me on Monday participants!

Baby dresses for friends

I have 2 friends in my immediate life that have (is about to have) a daughter. The other day, I ended up in the dress section of a kiddie clothing store. I like shopping for dresses, probably more than average. It's almost essentially the reason I became an opera singer...so I can have an excuse to wear dresses.

Anyway, I just wanna buy all the dresses for the little girls! I picked out like 5 before I realized that neither Angie's baby, Amelia nor Rachel's baby, Rachel-La Toya, will need an 18 month size dress for like, a long time. But when they do, Auntie Toya is getting them dresses!

Extreme deliciousness ahead

My fav Thai place "Mango", completely changed their menu & seating arrangements. It's actually called Remixed(?) now.
But that's not what I wanted to blog about! I wanted to mention that I may have to go on a friggin diet....not may...I must. The doctor is putting me on it. Once that happens, you know it's serious.

The convo went something like this:
Doctor: I need to ask you a few questions
Me: UMMMM, okay...?
Doctor: So, beside being extremely overweight, are there any new health issues that you might have??
Me: -------

She proceeded to schedule me for an entire physical complete with a Metabolism test & Cholesterol and blood pressure..test? Long story short my friends, my Mango Thai, Remixed days are over.
More news on the impending doctor prescribed diet tonight at 10.
