My story aired!!!! My story aired!!!!! I've done several stories with NYC-TV but this one is by far my favorite. I'm not allowed to embed so check it out HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE.

The black hole that I've been living in to get this done was definitely worth it!

Reasons I love New York #7

Amazing street chalk art

Fell in love with this random graffiti- I want it on a shirt.

Random pickle stand? Why not!

All the bodegas have the most beautiful colors of roses right now. I just can't help always stopping to smell them.

Back it up, back it up

Editors note: I'm so sick right now and it's taking me forever to blog- I keep catching crazy typos (I'm straight up not speaking coherently) so fair warning I forfeit responsibility for the literary integrity of the next few posts.

Before I get started on my glorious weekend's worth of posting- I should probably back it up and recap last weekend first. My week in a black hole has left me with a pile up of material to post and it's really starting to stress me out. It's looking like my next couple of weeks are going to be intense at work as well...so bear with me people! I love you, I promise!

While I've been drowning at work, my past few weekends have been absolutely lovely!!

"Whoooo CARES?"

Robbie and his mom came to visit!! Thursday night dinner at Westville East, Friday night dinner at Lupa YUM! Saturday- bagels and street festivals and St. Mark's shopping.

Saturday night tickets to the Tribeca screening of Every Day starring Helen Hunt and Liev Schriever (to lazy to look up the spelling). Worst. Movie. Ever. I would write a full scathing review right now, but my energy could be better spent blowing my nose. It was cool seeing the stars on the red carpet and the film was followed by a cast/director Q&A session that was also pretty cool. Too bad the movie sucked.

Jackie, Liz and Robbie. Not pictured, the lovely rad-tastic Rada.

The fun continued at Lombardi's where we had the most ah-mazing pizza. The white pizza

Robbie ordered (in the background) definitely dominated the meatball, onion, mushroom, red pepper combination we had going but still excellent. Liz and Jackie's favorite part of the whole meal was the pitchers of RC Cola. It's the simple pleasures in life really.

The night continued at the Tribecca Grand Hotel- fun DJ, fun dancing..fun fun times had by all! Sunday- Ess-a and Friend of a Farmer with Robbie and his mom. Perfect, perfect end to a perfect weekend!

Amazeballs

I mean....phenomenal.

NOTE: Fox took the youtube of this down earlier but no worry! Hulu was here to the rescue- enjoy!!

Biding my time

Yes its true, I love many things in life- puppies and glitter and flowers and food (not necessarily in that order). But one of the true loves of my life is the New York weekend. Ahh the glorious weekend (cue gentle harp music and parting clouds)- the single greatest thing about being out of school and definitely one of the best parts of living in New York. I'm perfectly happy with my work weeks, in fact, I generally enjoy them but ahh the weekend. Those 48 hours of open reign when anything can happen. And when the weather is nice? Forget about it.

Random amazing band in the park.

Living in New York on a nice sunny weekend means endless possibilities. Laying out in parks, drinking on roofs, bagels from Ess-a. There are the boozy brunches and sober brunches and the after a boozy night brunches. Aimlessly walking with friends, sleeping in, day time yoga. Dancing, dancing, dancing. 24-hr diners, rollerblading, and all of those street fairs. Living in the anticipation of the weekend? Yes I am...bring it on.

Oops, my bad

I should probably warn you next time I'm approaching a deadline week. My life turns into a black hole of working, eating and sleeping- leaving no room for the truly important things in life like Breaking Bad, Glee, and Modern Family...and Glitter Me This. Maybe tonight I'll eat something other than the Trader Joe's microwavable classic: Just...grilled chicken. (Seriously, look this shit up.) Good news: my show airs tonight!!!!! So I'm out from my black hole....just in time for 86 degrees and sunny.

Omg I just found a video review of Just...Grilled Chicken. Best line: "And I've even found myself even like, you know, just heating it up and having it with some ketchup for dinner, a little plain, I know.

Spring fling

City Hall Park is in full bloom

It's not quite May and it's not quite June

Boots are still worn but the coats feel confused

They're ready to shake those winter time blues

Strolling through the park and smiling with glee,

such a green walk home makes me as happy as can be.
