life without blogging

It’s been nearly a week since I’ve done anything blog-related. I haven’t written anything on mine or read anybody else’s because I’ve been doing so much traveling and haven’t had any time to sit in front of a computer.
Last Thursday I went into NYC to see “Spring Awakening” and spent Friday taking photographs around my [...]

spring awakening

Do you enjoy musicals about puberty, masturbation, sex, abortions, suicide and rebellion? Then get yourself tickets to see “Spring Awakening” on Broadway before it closes on Sunday!

fresh snow

my dream house

I want my bedroom to look like this:

I love the color: yellow walls, the green chair, the white sheets, the black and white rug. I love how they used mismatching furniture for nightstands. I love how it’s kind of a girl’s room and kind of a guy’s room. I love how it looks [...]

fulfilling my bridesmaid duties

I’ve been incommunicado for the past week but for a good reason–J and I flew East for Jessica’s wedding! After an overnight at my parents’ home, we drove out to Long Island Saturday afternoon. We were surprised to learn that, by coincidence, our hotel room had a connecting door to the bride’s and [...]
