Category: Life in New York

A couple of weeks ago Salina and her friend Brant were visiting New York so we just had to catch up! Sal and I grew up across the road from each other and it was her sister Fiona who I traveled with, lived with and worked with in London in 1999. We’ve known each other…

Next Thursday is the American Heart Association’s 2010 Start! Wall Street Run and Heart Walk. Bill is a great supporter of this cause and this will be his third year both as a participant and major fundraiser – he has raised over $11,000 for the AHA over this time. I have the honor of being…

I have had a fantastic night! You know why? Cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom. Threw out old paperwork. Binned all the excess junk that we didn’t need after the re-organization of the main closet. Paid bills. Reworked our budget. Finished packing for Albany. Bill made an amazing quick pasta sauce that we had…

I am super tired tonight – having Collingwood play on a work night here is a bad idea. I drifted off halfway near the end of the 2nd quarter and a buzzing mozzie woke me up with 10 minutes to go in the game. Not the best way to start a Monday! We’re up for…

Obviously I have some confusing alliances when it comes to following sports with national representation. Now that the World Cup is here, I deal with this in much the same way as I did with the Olympics and Winter Olympics. If it is USA Vs anyone – I am Team USA. If it is Australia…

It has been a busy busy Friday so to make sure I get my blog post in I just wanted to share with you a night out where Bill and I went to Katz’s Deli on a chilly night back in December. You can read all about how it is such a famous restaurant here….

No… this is not what you are thinking. For this post, a very New York evening does not mean a gorgeous restaurant, stroll through Madison Square Park or finding a vintage book for a great price. For this post we are talking – air conditioning. After the stifling humidity last weekend, I could not stand…

Just about everyone knows about my obsession with LL Bean products. Mix that with my love of handbags and things get a little bit dangerous. One of my latest LL Bean purchases does not disappoint one bit. When we moved, one major downside (about the only one!) is that I’d be standing for my commute…
