I went to Southeast Asia last August, and I just realized I never posted about it. Oops! I only took like 4000 photos…so I should share something.
Part 1 – Getting There
My first flight was from Newark to Hong Kong on Continental. I was in coach but had snared a pretty good seat. This was a [...]

I have been keeping an eye out for silver shoes for a wedding I’m in. I really don’t want the typical strappy sandals you usually see. I also don’t want 4″ heels. I can walk in them but they aren’t something I want to wear for 8hrs. I’d really like a nice 3″ heel.

I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I’d go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into work at 8:45, the same [...]

I am heading off to South East Asia on Friday afternoon. I get there late Saturday night. In the meantime I’ve been moderately successful in checking things off my list.

Typical Northeast summer has finally arrived – it’s hot and humid. Oh yay! Well, not really.
Yesterday evening my friend and I rode almost 10 miles through Lake Hiawatha and Montville. It was much easier than I expected and my ass doesn’t hurt from the seat like I expected it to. I was drenched when [...]

Tonight was one of the first hot, sticky nights we’ve had this summer. So it was so nice to have a refreshing Italian Ice after dinner.
I was trying to replicate the flavor of the ices they sell at the Hackensack Pastry Shop. My mom grew up in Hackensack and whenever we’re in the vicinity we [...]
