Happy anniversary!
One year ago today, I moved to New York City. I would have arrived on my best friend’s (now fiance!) birthday. Instead, my flight was delayed five hours due to a storm nowhere near Pittsburgh, nor New York.

It has been sort of a disappointing weekend. Didn't see fireworks on the 4th.... it was raining on and off all night and we weren't really sure if they were even going to go off ( Read more... ) -

Okay, so I honestly don't much care for air conditioning. I still maintain that. However, this heat wave has made our first floor apartment digustingly warm.

Michael packed us a spectacular picnic lunch: celery with peanut butter, green pepper and carrot with Italian dressing, Goldfish crackers, animal crackers, ( Read more... ) -

Went to the Queens Botanical Garden yesterday. It was a lovely adventure, made even better by the fact that I passed a wedding shop and met this fabulous lady who makes gowns. She had all sorts of colors in the window so I stopped in, and she was wonderful. She showed me pages from magazines and sketches other girls had, and what they wanted ( Read more... ) -

I went to Staten Island today. Really, I just wanted to ride the ferry- it was every bit as cool as I thought it would be. I did some research last night and found that the Botanical Gardens are situated in this cultural center complex, so I figured I'd check it out. It was a lovely day for wandering around. Some of the gardens were well kept but ( Read more... ) -

I decided I want to be a photographer when I grow up. It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as dancing. (Not that I plan on stopping that- I would like to be a dancing photographer ( Read more... )
