tunnel vision

This morning on the dreaded L train, the man in my face had dragon's breath and I watched a woman blow her nose into the scarf tied around her neck. Why, lady.

Instead of the tunnel I was trapped in under the city, I wish I was in any one of these.

This weekend instead of drinking Bloody's outside all day, I opted for a tour into the cheese caves of the infamous Murray's Cheese Shop. It's called becoming cultured.

The class was $15 and totally worth it. First, I was greeted with a glass of proseco and 6 'spensive cheeses to eat. Money back.

Then, I traveled underneath the shop to the aging caves to observe where the cheeses moldy exterior or wash rinds finished processing.

My favorite was the wash-rind cheese cave. The cheeses give off a very distinct ammonia smell. It stank as if MK had given me dutch oven of his feet after running a half-marathon.

If you live in the area, I highly, highly recommend signing up and checking it out for yo' self!


comes with one side. you want greenbeans or slaw?

MY MIND IS MELTING

Happy Friday! and a very happy Friday for me...I just found that I am the proud owner of the newest iPhone, courtesy of my employment (thanks corporate america!)

Now for fun cases that are completely unnecessary but totally needed:

Kate Spade polka-cutie.

Duh, winner. See by Chloé

oh, just a little cat scratch fevahhh

This was my old phone. I know what you're thinking; MY EYES!!!!!! So, don't hate. I'm entitled to be giddy.

One thing is certain, I will never play Angry Birds. OVER MY DEAD BODY.

Have a sweet, sweet weekend!

camp city!

Do I have to go into work on Monday? NO.

Am I going to take this opportunity to go camping? YES.

Did I have to google Columbus Day as to why he's still in the holiday mix? YOU BETCHA (it's because he exploited and enslaved his way to the top)

A little aggressive, but I think I'll still enjoy my Monday off. Along with my Camping Essentials:

soft flannel shirts out of mk's closet

American cold ones

My cold weather staple - LL Bean Maine Hunting Boots

a Stanely thermos to keep coffee warm forever

the only blanket, a Pendleton blanket

desert boots for heading into town to antique shop

my fireside friend, the brown stuff

Have a relaxing Columbus Day Weekend!! And welcome home, MK.
5 days apart is 5 days too long.

Sometimes I feel bad for commuters who bury themselves in a Kindle or, even worse, Angry Birds. Not because I care that they're further disassociating themselves from members of society, but because they're missing out on all the babes. NY is notoriously packed with major babes of both sexes.

I like to use my commute time wisely; to stare at good looking people.

That's why I did not hate it when I read HotGuysOnTheTrain, a blog dedicated to babespotting on the NY mass transit system.

Hello! Bonjour! Guttentag! Do you know that you're not ugly?

btdubs, all the single ladies, get yourself a pillow and camp out on the M train!

I didn't even know we had an M train, but all the male models do.

Guess what?!? ...

I'm no where near being engaged! However, I am smitten like a kitten over these incredible antique engagement rings. Am I right?

When I showed MK this website. He promptly showed me three ring options he was looking at instead.

Notice the obtrusive "friend" theme occuring? This last one is by far the most offensive. At least I know I'll never stop laughing if I'm with him.

Have a lovely autumnal weekend! I am celebrating my nephews 2nd birthday and heading to Bring to Light, an all-night public light installation. You?
