Tell me why
Why do cab drivers find it necessary to put the car in park at every red light? Please just hold your foot on the brake pedal for 60 seconds, max. Thanks!
Roadtrip Reflection
On this 5 hour roadtrip from NYC to Killington, VT I’ve decided the skproject is back.
First order of action… some research on car ride games. An hour to go and these 12 bottles of wine are anxious to be corked

a chili winter night
We’re no Julie/Julia but when roomie and I put our heads (and ingredients) together in the kitchen, the end result is always delicious
Tonights collaboration? Some hearty turkey chili
There are countless ways to dumb down the recipe to the basics but we love the act of adding ingredients so here’s what we’re working with
diced jalepeno (the heat is in the seeds so remove seeds to...

happy jetting!
After 2 weeks of Miami bliss, I’m back in NY thanks to my new favorite airline, jetBlue
Although we were delayed, my pleasant experience outweighed the negatives of the late arrival. legroom! free snacks! direct tv! no charge to check a bag?! jetBlue is where it’s at.
Also found myself a travel buddy who dressed me in diamonds and provided great company over some quality airport food...

miami ink
On her 70th birthday, my grandmother, Max, wanted to do something “totally outrageous”.
In a very un-grandmother-like fashion, she got a tatoo on her wrist. And not just any ink, but a big M with a bloody axe running through it, for Max.
Pretty edgy granny I have
My parents don’t approve but seniority rules

this little piggy... is for dinner
A recent Christmas Eve tradition of ours is a holiday dinner at Isela’s house
The traditional cuban feast is complete with all the fixins - beans, rice, plaintains, flan… oh, and a whole pig roasting on hot coals in the caja china
Nochebuena.
It’s a pig roast, people!

Small and Bitchy
That was the theme of this mornings pilates class.
Small and bitchy leg raises, small and bitchy circular movements, small and bitchy pulses.
All demands coming from our small and bitchy pilates teacher because as she says, who would ever want to be big and nice?

Says who? Calvin Klein
so im not supposed to shop.
for others? yea, that’s ok.
for myself? nope. dont do it. not allowed.
lets say, hypothetically, i did buy something(s) for me today
In this make believe scenario I just created, I would have purchased some really great “gotta have them” pieces - like a(some) little black dress(es).

bluff you
Check out what one of my favorite blogs, dtangled, has to say about shoelery. She even features an interview with my girls over at Bluff NY!
As you know, I am a huge fan of Bluff - I am wearing Bad Things above and you may recognize Achilles from an earlier post seen here
I can’t wait to see the new pieces at the holiday sample sale!
Stop by the sale tomorrow between 7-10pm at...

start over
I have a new found appreciation for Time Warner that I’d like to shout from the rooftops. It’s full of glorious surprises and really proving to be a reliable friend during this cold and rainy winter
first of all, we discovered that prime-time On Demand exists - who knew?! This means, at our leisure, we can watch the shows we always say we’ll DVR and never do.
and… even...

me I want a hu-la hooop
If you’re hosting a holiday party, and you are in need of some festive tunes, there is a free holiday sampler playlist available on itunes right now.
I wont be incorporating all of the songs into my masterful playlist, but there are a few that will help me hit the holiday:pop ratio.
Some other songs in queue on tonight’s party playlist:
All I Want For Christmas (Is You) – Mariah Carey - duh and...

do you like to do it yourself?
I could have just opted for store-bought chocolate covered pretzels, but where is the fun in that?
I threw some chocolate in a pot, dipped some pretzels in, covered them with sprinkles, and viola!
I made a huge mess in the kitchen but the end product looks festive and fabulous.

i like big books (and i cannot lie)
Our book club meeting tonight was simply lovely.
We went from educated discussion of The Glass Castle to generating our Jersey shore nicknames on the Internet.
Georgie joined in on some of the fun
And Mike earned himself honorable mention when he sent a delivery of 3 tubs of banana split ice cream to us as a surprise
And yay for me for finishing book #2!!

The mercury has dropped and winter is in full force.
What better to come home to than quality couch time and a mug full of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows?
and yes, our mugs are decorated with pictures of us
