Wild weeks at work mean lazy nights at home.  I did however do some quality wrapping while Jay was out at his basketball game last night!  Here are some things from around the city and home in the past couple days…

Christmas Mouse

It has been Christmas around my office for the past couple weeks, and now it seems to (finally) be Christmas all over the city!  Tress and decorations are everywhere!  Look at the beautiful trees above…they made my trip to buy a mouse trap a little bit better.   We are trying to pretend it’s a Christmas mouse and not freak out…but it isn’t working too well….I’m freaked out there is a mouse in our apt.

Otherwise we had a pretty calm weekend.  We did some quality lazing….

We went movies Saturday to see Life of Pi (which was great!).  We went downtown to our favorite secret theater.  Here are some pics from our stroll after the movie…

I did do one successful thing this weekend…got our Christmas cards done!  Woo!  December 3rd and they are already mailed out.  If I only had the same motivation to swiffer…

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

This has been one of, if not the, all time most stressful week at work…but thank heaven we have gone to print and this issue is over with!  Now I can get back to enjoying life…until we print again in 2 weeks ha!

With all the mania this week, there have been some things that have helped make it better…

(our tree is up and beautiful)

(candy cane kisses are back…and I think they are a suitable breakfast)

(obsession with brussel sprouts, 3 ft teddy my client sent me, my fav red dress perfect for holidays)

(our stockings! not exactly a fireplace but it’ll do!)

Lunch at the library

10 Comments

Anyone who knows me, knows that I can’t make it more than 2 hours without eating.  I might not always eat a lot, but I am constantly munching.  Right now the New York Public Library has a special exhibit on New Yorkers and Lunch!  My friend Erin (my best lunch partner) and I went to the exhibit the other day.  Here are some pictures and facts we learned from the visit…

In the 20’s lunch only cost 10 cents, that included a full meal, drink, and snack!

Wonder bread was the first sliced bread for sandwiches and made in NYC in 1921!  Before hand tradition was women and children would have thin slices and men larger crustier ones.   Wonder bread was the first time that everyone had the same serving size.

       

           

There was a Charles Dickens exhibit too…

          

A great way to enjoy our lunch break, in more ways than one!

In other news, the Rockefeller Christmas tree is up and ready to be decorated and lit…yay!  This tree also came from the town where my Dad works, so it’s kind of big news around home.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  We have a “friendsgiving” on Sunday which should be a lot of fun.  Any great recipe ideas for me?

First Snow

A hurricane last week and snow this week…NYC is having it’s share of weather mania!  Above is the view from our living room window yesterday afternoon…I still can’t believe there is snow on the ground!

Rondo went for his first walk in the snow yesterday and, well, he wasn’t crazy about it…


He cracks me up in his hoodie.  Here are some other pictures of the snow in Brooklyn…

At least the snow makes me feel better about listening to Christmas music already!
