February 11, 2008


I was out shopping and saw this chocolate set that my brother-in-law would love. Maybe I'll come back after Valentine's Day and buy it for him -- when it's on sale. hehe

I wore this dress to a housewarming party last night (but since I didn't get home till after midnight, it still counts for today). The dress code was cocktail attire. And, yes, this is the dress I just bought at Macy's.

What a big surprise at our front door this evening. Two cops came by because they thought our house was on fire. It was just the dryer steam! But, still, they sent FOUR fire engines, an ambulance and another cop car. Seriously folks, we're OK.

I went into Brooklyn today to buy a dress at Macy's. I guess they don't want anyone to have to guess what city they are in. ;)

The new roomies and I have decided to take turns making dinner once/week. Today was Kristin's turn, and she made stuffed peppers that were very yummy. For dessert, I made brownies.

It's Ash Wednesday so I checked out another new church (Holy Trinity on the Upper West Side). It was very Catholic-esque.

Yes, I took this picture with my camera phone -- before the service started.

And, I got a new dress in the mail. Also on sale. Pretty, no?

My new coat came in the mail. I saved 67% off the original price. yippee!

My roommate's cat Mia is so little and so cute.

Two of my roommates and I went to IKEA today and bought some of these things (and lots more) for the house. I was there for an ungodly 6+ hours, ending with a fight over a spot in line with a crazy lady. I never want to go back.

I played "restaurant roulette" with a friend of mine. We got on the PATH in Hoboken, got off at a random stop in the city and walked around until we found a restaurant that we both agreed on (which isn't an easy task with me). We settled on Jekyll and Hyde in the Village. I'm not a fan.

Here is an out-of-focus picture of a pretty candle my mom got for me some years back. It sits atop my my chest of drawers.

I tried to take a shot of the sun rising, as seen from my dining room. It was so bright!

My boss (the lovely Maria, Queen of Spain) surprised us today with thank you cards and iTunes gift cards. How cool is that? :)

A different view of my yet-to-be unpacked room.

My new room -- with my new mess :)

After my "borrowed" friends helped me move today, we took a trip to Costco. Gotta love getting 24 Propels for $10 :)

Three of the most beautiful ladies I know share the same birthday: Liza, Shelby and Marabeth. Happy birthday!


(and, no, I didn't actually take any of these pictures :)

Don't get me started, don't even get me started! I put this note on the fridge after some stupid person at work decided to sell their integrity for 24 cents.

I got this switchplate cover at a street fair in Michigan. I like it because it's Italian, like me :)


January 22, 2008


I mailed some cookies from Little Italy to my aunt back in Michigan. She really likes the almond biscotti that this bakery makes.

While at Target, I noticed that all of the signs are bilingual. This is definitely not something you would see in Detroit...and if you did, it would be in an Arabic language, not Spanish.

Today was the first day I used the Holland Tunnel. I'm surprised I didn't get into an accident while taking this picture. :)

I have way too many hangers. Anyone need some? lol
