Here and There

I have successfully disappeared completely from my own blog! The last few months have been busy (that 9-to-5 life is something, huh!) but mostly in a good way. During that time, I have:
* Bought my first car, a Ford Fiesta ♥
* Been to NYC 3 times to see 3 old friends from different times of my life
* Went to Jones Beach for a weekend of beach fun and Kesha/Pitbull concert
* Been reunited with old addictions: Daft Punk, Arrested Development... and lots more to come this summer!
* Finally started watching Mad Men ;)


I'm going on a little getaway to Vermont this weekend, I can't wait!

Christmas Cheer

Let me stretch my fingers and dust out this place a little, ahem...
I took a quick trip to NYC last Sunday to check out some Christmas decorations (christmas trees, store windows, all that!). Unfortunately we didn't see anything too amazing... maybe they're putting them up late? maybe everyone decided to tone it down? who knows.

But we made a stop at Dylan's Candy Bar and filled up on all kinds of chocolate
(NOT the bacon flavored one though)!

Rockefeller Center delivered as always.
And we even caught the little light show on the facade of Sack's Fifth Avenue!



Alright, off to my chocolate bars now -- Caramel, Red Velvet, Dark Chocolate & Raspberry, and S'Mores!

NYC

While I'm waiting for my DIY supplies to arrive, here are a few pictures from my week spent in New York! It was so strange to visit the city with the boy like a real tourist: the Empire State Building, Central Park, Statue of Liberty, lunch at Katz's, Brooklyn Bridge,... we did it all! It was the first time I visited all these attractions in one go; it was exhausting and chilly, but great :)

For part of the trip, we stayed at the New York Loft Hostel in Brooklyn and it was great! Pretty good location (although we were unlucky enough that the L train was not working during the weekend due to renovations), warm and clean bedrooms, and free breakfast every morning! What else do you need?



Have a great weekend!
