February 2011
We're supposed to get some sort of crazy ice storm...
My car is parked in a tiny snow covered spot on a hill. I’m nervous for the AM.
That’s enough, winter.

Toilet is unclogged

Branzino was DELICIOUS
JAMES FRANCO ON JON STEWART
Restaurant Weeeeeek
Tonight we’re going to Branzino. I’m very excited. It’s BYO so we’re picking up a bottle of red wine on the way over to kick start our new years resolution (learn to love red wine). I am excited for a lovely little salad, a lot of pasta (reallllly want to try the squid ink pasta but I know I’ll chicken out, has anyone ever tried it??), and spending some time with my...

Toilet is clogged.
Just peed in the tub. Strange and refreshing.
The good:
Vegas is booked!!
The bad:
I haven’t warmed up from the walk to the building from my car 4 hours ago.
Trying to find flights to Vegas over Easter for...
Seems impossible. These travel websites are awful! Found one last night for $390 and now it’s gone and the cheapest combo I can find now is over $450. Boo.
Just drank a night time Theraflu and now I'm going...
Hoping for some crazy dreams. Night.

It's 'peanut butter on a spoon dipped in granola'...
Join me, won’t you?
Woke up feeling sick.
I keep feeling sick for like a day and then it goes away before I get to a doctor. But this is like the 3rd time this winter I’ve been sick. On a strict diet of tea (pomegranate green tea, lemon lift, and currently, licorice mint which I’m convinced is made especially for me since I have yet to find another person who finds that flavor combo appealing) and dayquil.
Still here!
So. Miami was great. Zero delays or problems at the airport, which really makes the whole trip that much better. Got to Miami, navigated my way through the airport, and got a cab to our hotel all by myself like a real grownup. On Saturday night, we had a delicious dinner at Philippe at the Gansevoort hotel. Sooooo tasty (prawns and fried rice and chicken stir fry and dumplings) but super expensive...
At the airport.
Adios Miami.

Perfect timing
Our Vegas plans are finally coming together the day before I leave for Miami. I finally found flights under $400 ($390 thankyouverymuch) and 7 out of the 8 girls are still in. Hopefully we will book it all next week! So much for saving any money this month!
24 hours til I'm on the plane!
So excited I am not flying out tonight. I need one more good theraflu induced sleep before I completely destroy my body with alcohol and uncomfortable shoes.

FINALLY.
Finally, Top Chef, finally. Now I can watch you and not be constantly annoyed.
Gave myself a snow delay.
Our office never closes or opens late but today I just slept in until 10 and headed into work like 3 hours late. It was delightful.
Theraflu & bed (ok, really it's Theraflu, Pretty...
I feel sick-ish. Maybe I’ll a doctor appointment tomorrow. I WILL NOT BE SICK EN MIAMI!!!
I hope the snow holds off long enough for me to get to my hair appointment (I WILL NOT HAVE GREY HAIR EN MIAMI), and home to Manayunk safely, so if we do get snowed in I’ll be here and not at my parents…
Goodnight.
Cabin Fever.
I went back to my parents last night to go to dinner with my mom & sister. I was planning to drive back to my apartment after dins to avoid the snow, but I got a cal from my roomate that our heat was broken. So I stayed at my parents last night and I’m still here now. There is someone coming to the house to fix it today but I haven’t heard back from my roommate. Ahhh. I...
Does shoveling snow count as cross training!?
I’m going with Yes!
All bundled up and headed out to start shoveling!
Friday!!
I was supposed to go up to our family mountain house with my dad and uncles to help them do some work and paint the walls. They just called and basically told me to stay home. Kind of bummed cause I wanted to help out and earn my right to bring all my friends up, but they seem to think they don’t need me (which they definitely don’t but I mean I could have helped a little) and they...
I have a yellow and orange pepper that need to be...
cause I don’t like raw peppers. Any ideas for what I should make?
Eating an expired chobani yogurt for lunch.
(only by 2 days….)
Wish me luck.
Finally got a 2011 planner!!!
Ahh I was going crazy! Can I pencil anyone in for anything!?
Coverletter written.
Resume updated.
I sent them to a few smart people to check over and give me tips, ideas, suggestions. Hopefully they will be in the hands of a potential employee by the end of next week?
HEY 2011 HERE I COME.

No work to do.
Drinking tea. Legs are restless. Searching for restaurants to eat out in South Beach (10 days!). Looking at open jobs at Free People. Gonna go to the bathroom just to take a walk. Ready to go home.
Trying to stay motivated.
Need to do 6 miles at the gym tonight. Currently carb loading with leftover pasta. Might make myself another coffee….

Decisions, Decisions
I have to do a 3 mile and a 6 mile run between tonight and Friday night. I need to cook some chicken I bought tonight. I also want to hit up a bookstore to finally get a 2011 planner (I’ve been going nuts!!). I think I’m going to skip the gym and bookstore tonight and just focus on getting home and unpacking all the shit from my car. And cooking pesto chicken with pasta and peppers for...
