ups & downs of the thermometer...

in nyc it was roughly 7 degrees yesterday & is expected to reach 59 degrees (F) tomorrow.

along with the temperature outside...mine has been fluctuating as well...

...fighting off a cold.

i am a believer in superstitions & that all things are linked. when one is stressed/'life transitioning' ....then here comes the sickness. ...& bad skin. at least in my un-glam world.

work is still sorting out what to do with me. hey are being very supportive while trying to figure out how long i can be employed...as of now, december 19 is my very last day in the office...i will work from home until i fly out on january 13. i included a pic of kate & i...my coworker who has helped with every step of the transition across the ocean. :) the hkyplayer is finalizing his holiday plans..some team mates are off to barcelona while others are off to prague. the longer he waits the more expensive flights are. barcelona is an option because there is a great 'football' game he wants to see. prague- because everything would be so cheap. i sure hope he figures it out.... i do not want to have a broken heart on christmas morning.. thinking of my boy all alone on such a special day... hugs and cold medicine... kmn.

the goodbyes begin--

as i watch the tree lighting ceremony in rockefeller center..i thought it would be nice to jot a quick love note to the city..

what i will surely not miss-

1. subway transfers/cancellations

2. 50% of a paycheck going to rent..

3. not being always being able to wear the heels of my choice

4. the homeless that have dogs with them

5. 12 hour work days

6. being the only girl without a puppy/toddler/husband on the weekends

7. grocery shopping at convience stores

8. 12$ shots of jose cuervo

9. feeling extremly lonely amongst 17 million people

what i am sadly leaving behind-

1. my coworkers..the best ones a girl could ask for..minus dwight shrute

2. runs along the hudson

3. penn station

4. ny style pizza..ordered at 4am..

5. using the empire state building as a compass

6. fashion ave.

7. hooters off broadway (dont order clams)

8. any magazine i could ever want..weeklies, monthly-fashion/fitness/political...for free.

9. sephora on every corner

10. $1 drafts at green rock

11. celebrity spotting

Losing my Blogging Innocence-

here goes nothing . today is the big day. my first blog.
i recently read a blog that i could not get enough of... & thought. hear goes nothing.
i figured it should go along with the new year- '09-- here we come.
a new blog also goes along with a new chapter in life...
hears to the big switcharoo...'off broadway'- headed to the french countryside...

i figured what better to keep me busy than a blog. and a library card..

oh, & a gym membership to keep off the weight from the wine & cheese... more to come. plz stay tuned, i am a beginner & will get better in time. xx.
