And now so must I. (If you see a segment on the news tonight about someone water-skiing behind a Naval carrier . . . ;P)It's been a fabulous nine months, and while I could never live here permanently I'm glad I got to live here for this short duration. I remember my doubts before I took this assignment, how I didn't really like NYC and wasn't ( Read more... )

When I got to work this morning, the document review system wasn't functioning properly. They decided to shut the server down for maintenance at 12:30 pm and see if that would fix it. Meanwhile, it was only 11:15 am and what were we to do ( Read more... )

Is anyone else watching Top Design on Bravo? Someone please say yes because I really need Kelly Wearstler's sense of fashion explained to me!

Her outfits are getting more and more atrocious every week. Not to mention her hair, Louisa, her hair! Last week was bad enough with the pink prom dress and white t-shirt and jeans underneath. But ( Read more... )

It was Spring earlier this week. The perfect weather to be walking in outside. The sun was shining and it was warm enough to not need even a jacket, but cool enough that you didn't get overheated. It was perfectToday? It's snowing and sleeting out. Sweet. I guess Mother Nature's not ready to let go of winter just yet ( Read more... )

• I have heat again! And I'm feeling all sorts of smart for renewing my insurance this past summer. Even with the deductible that I paid yesterday, I still come in under $25 what I would've had to spend without the insurance and I got weekend service without extra charge. Of course, if nothing had broken down in my home, I would have been out the ( Read more... )

It's been a very BLAH sort of week. Very little has brought a smile to my face and I'm so glad it's Friday as this has felt like one of the longest weeks ever. I think it's a combination of things:

1. The cold weather makes it very difficult to go outside in the morning when all you want to do is cuddle in bed. Brrrrrrrrrr.
   
2. The same work day in ( Read more... )

I'm happy to report that the Pumpkin Bread/Cake was a hit at work today. I wasn't crazy about it when I had a small bit last night, but I tried some more today and liked it. I think it's one of those things where the flavor comes out more when it's cool rather than warm.

What I liked best about the bread was how easy it was to make! One of my ( Read more... )

A year ago today, I was getting sworn in.

What a year it's been!

Coconut Lime Bar

Think lemon bar, except it's lime, and with toasted coconut on the top.

Yum!

My co-worker and I were going to go to the annual Village Halloween Parade but she backed out this morning saying she didn't feel 100%. I can't say I minded. The idea sounded fun last week, but I really wasn't feeling in the mood to push through ( Read more... )

My boss and another attorney were in town today and we all went out to dinner. One of the paralegals has been raving about this Italian restaurant she and her family ate at several months ago, so when we were deciding where to eat my boss recalled her recommendation. Unfortunately, neither she nor I could remember the restaurant's name! So we ( Read more... )
