So after the two weeks of craziness it was time to get started on the wedding preparation. And the whole thing has basically been planned in a two week time frame… even though it is over 13 months away the next six months are going to be really busy with moving apartments and also the…
Home Economics on 7th Avenue
One thing about living in New York that is a constant challenge is the living costs. I have had to adjust to the fact that I am unable to save as I could in Melbourne and while some things are cheaper, life here is undoubtedly more expensive. For one room (not one bedroom, ONE ROOM)…
The crazy two weeks…
Not to be confusing but five weeks ago we finished what I think could nearly be the craziest two weeks ever! In a nutshell this is what happened… Friday – Travelled to Washington DC in the morning and I was engaged by the evening. The days in between that Friday and the following Wednesday were…
Winter Prep
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…
Chris Isaak.. in August
I am going to make a real effort to catch up on posts… now that summer is over (and it is snowing in New Jersey..!) I can concentrate on writing! Back in August I booked a ticket to see Chris Isaak – I got really good seats but what surprised me was the Beacon Theatre….
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…
