I’m not one to cry about, well, anything. But if Kelly Cutrone was my boss, I’d cry. She’s scares the bejesus out of me.

This is my co-worker: “the short-statured, the homely, the paunchy, the balding, and the sweater-clad”. Yes, ladies he’s a real catch. New York’s finest.

One of my biggest issues living in NYC is not having a car.  This means every outing is well planned, and exhaustive. My family and friends are always asking how exactly I get from place to place, so this is for them… to market we go.

Walk several blocks uphill to the bus stop. No more rain, please.

Wait at the bus stop. It runs sporadically. The schedule, it’s a lie. Be patient.

At least there is a park to look at? Brrrrr…

Ah, made it! On to perhaps the worse part of the whole journey… fighting the weekend crowds.

Time to haul the groceries. all. the. way. home.

That’s if the bus ever comes.

Last week I went ice skating at Central Park. I was genuinely happy because (1) it wasn’t mind numbingly cold and (2) i didn’t completely suck! In the middle of a park, who could ask for more beautiful scenery!

I had a lovely Holiday.

Made it to Manhattan to peruse Gifted, a holiday market.  If I hadn’t already finished my holiday shopping, it would have been the perfect place to pick up some vintage jewelry or screen printed bags for a special few. I did, however, buy an itsy cupcake from Kumquat Cupcakery. It was only a dollar! How could I not? P.B. Banana Honey. Mmmmm.

The tree at Rockefeller Center.  Not as epic as I had imagined.  I wanted to see baubles and bulbs and ribbons. I think the decorations on the tree in the lobby of my apartment complex are more impressive.  Rockefeller needs to hire me next year to amp it up.

Little hints of holiday cheer are popping up all over the City.

(Okay. I looked it up. It’s the NY Stock Exchange! I need to get smart about these things.)

(Pssst. Don’t judge. I may pass by this building twice a day.)
