I will NOT be cold this winter. I look forward to this time too much. A few months ago, the Accuweather long range forecast was for a snowy and brutal winter. Yipppppeeeee! So while I have spent all day in bed, sniffling and keeping warm from the harsh weather outside (seriously… a month ago I…

Post Fall Foliage 2009
Our Fall Foliage trip has come and gone. It was a busy three days but it was everything I imagined and more! Saying that, photos and videos DO NOT give justice to how beautiful the foliage looks and how beautiful the scenery is. We got our car in New Jersey and along the way we…
Sniffles and a smile…
I am home sick today. For the past week and a bit I haven’t been feeling quite right. Everyone at work has been sick and with the sudden change in the weather, it is understandable. I got home last night and my throat was dry and by bedtime I couldn’t swallow. Ugh! Hopefully this will…
Kylie does NY
After a stellar weekend (photos and video to come) and a horrendous trip home which involved ridiculous amounts of time sitting in standstill traffic, by 7pm I was at the Hammerstein Ballroom on 34th Street to see Kylie perform. From what I know, Bill stayed at home playing I should be so lucky on repeat….
Leaf Peeping 2009!
For ten years I was living in Melbourne and also – a loyal subscriber to Yankee Magazine. I fell in love with New England on my first visit back in 1999. Every year after that, one issue of Yankee Magazine would send me bananas. The annual fall foliage issue. I would look at the pictures…
If you thought the last post was crazy…
The two weeks after that were even crazier. It has been frantic… but since the Collingwood loss on Saturday things are settling down. Thank goodness! (For settling down.. not the loss!) I hope to get the whole post out tomorrow during my lunch break. 🙂 Let’s just say the two weeks were so crazy I…
A summer afternoon at 3pm
Feels like 6pm in winter… this doesn’t include the thunder/lightning or blowing rain! So exciting!
Rediscovering my iPod/iTunes and live music
With the onslaught of 24/7 entertainment on cable TV here, (I discovered the Jewelry TV channel here the other night… it is bad) I only recently realized that I have been letting my musical interests slide. I tend to listen to news/talk/more news/more talk and the musical radio stations here are average (no country station!)…
Sweaty in the City
Last weekend I experienced one of the most heavy thunderstorms I have ever seen/heard in my life. The rain was so heavy and the thunder was earsplitting. Summer here is strange compared to what I am used to. The rain I have experienced is like nothing I have experienced before. These are those once in…
Happy 4th of July!
My first Independence Day celebration has come and gone and what a great day it was! We spent all day Friday cooking and prepping for our picnic lunch and dinner to watch the fireworks over the Hudson River. The plan was we would leave here at about 11.30, get a good spot near where the…
