I Heart Autumn in New York

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I’m back from three lovely days in New York. I could write and write about all of it…how I surprised myself by accepting another glass of wine from a stranger at the Met, then invited him to go skating at Rockefeller until midnight. Or how glorious it is to get fancy party shoes on sale [...]

Household Appliances Unite in Protest Against Local Bachelorette

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Apparently, I’ve over-stayed my welcome in my single gal apartment. My small appliances have been staging a slow but steady protest, nay revolt, against me over the past seven or eight months and it’s reaching fever pitch. Without much fanfare, it began one nondescript day when the blender up and refused to blend. It simply [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #12: Pregnant Smoke Breaks

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Uh, I can’t believe I’m even about to say this, but apparently some people still smoke while they’re pregnant. Yeah, I know. I witnessed this firsthand on my way to the train station after work yesterday. Thankfully my commute has been Commuter free for the last three days, but I’d have rather not seen this [...]

Breathing Out

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

It’s fall again. And things are slowing down at last. I’m getting back to life as usual. The Saturday morning farmer’s market in the twilight of its season.

A Still Life

Friday, October 10th, 2008

I saw The Cagey One last night. He is still cagey. Still an amazing kisser. And still a complete gentleman to me, despite all evidence to the contrary. For my part, I’m still incredibly intrigued by him. Still wanting more. And still protective of a very patched up, limping heart.I’ve pulled way back on this [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #11: Alcoholic Voters

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Which candidate would you rather have a beer with? For serious. This is the question that some voters, swing voters it is said, consider a legitimate means to picking their candidate. Now, before I go all CAPS LOCK on your ass, I’d like to at least say: Hooray for voting! Vote, vote, vote! That said, [...]

The Commuter

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Remember when I made a passing reference to the dude I think has been hitting on me during my commute? The one who got all handsy that time? Well, since then he’s become a fixture on my way to and from work. He’s overly friendly and chatty and STILL handsy- what the heck is that [...]
