taking the long way around

i haven't blogged in awhile. i have a lot on my mind. 2 minor set backs today really caused a lot of emotions on my part. and we are talking minor. but it was enough to make me very frustrated and sad. but i am not going to think about it for now, and concentrate on work. just keep swimming.

in other news, my parents were here for easter weekend. we had a lovely time building ikea furniture (except... not), and i ate so much that i was ill. nice job, go me. since then, i haven't had much of an appetite (which also could be partially due to a multitude of different things going on in my life). oh well, could be a good thing, right? haha

there is a movie filming one block over. i walk by, but i can't see much of what is going on because they block half the street. guess i will just have to see it in the movies. i did, however, see the trailers for the stars. tried to peek in the windows, but didn't have much success.

um, i wish i had more to say. but i dont. i think it's bedtime for me now.

eating... and eating...

i had written another blog this weekend, and i deleted it because i thought it was ridiculous. so here is another blog instead.

this weekend i ate. and ate. and ate. like to the point of sickness. it was quite repulsive. but so worth it. the photo on here is mac and cheese i had at s'mac today. um, i ate like 1/4 of it because i thought i was going to die. then i had a peanut butter cupcake at crumbs. and for dinner i had 3/4 of a dominos pizza. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. this is the time that someone would plan an intervention. hot damn. have no fear, i have things under control... starting next week.

so... adele concert tomorrow? and i'm going by myself? typical. but i am not going to miss it because i feel sorry for myself. just typical of my life. but i promised myself that i was going to have a good time. and st patrick's day? i will have a beer at the concert and call it a day.

my parents arrive on thursday for easter. we have SO much to doooooo when they are here. i go back to the b-lo for my dad's birthday the weekend of the 4th and philadelphia the weekend of the 18th. which will bring me almost to may and that is just INSANE. time is flying so fast. and i need to get my ass in gear. mmmmmmmhmm.

welcome to goodburger home of the goodburger can i take your order?

today was just another day in nyc.

when i got off the subway this morning, i was greeted by the oscar meyer wienermobile and the mini weeniemobile. i was rather excited about that. then i had back to back to back meetings, one of which involved a meet and greet with miranda cosgrove from iCarly (also known as summer from 'school of rock'. 50 GOLD STARS). she was cute. really tall and super skinny. typical. but she was really sweet. after work i went for happy hour with a bunch of coworkers and even more friends of coworkers at the w hotel in midtown east. so i am enjoying my cocktail, and i see snoop dogg and his posse checking into the hotel. we all watched, and went about our business. i left early, and walked to goodburger (home of the goodburger) for take out, and ventured home in time to watch top chef. did i mention my boss' friend is on this season?

did i also mention that i saw jack osbourne get off the elevator at work last week? yup, welcome to living in nyc. if only i could combine my three worlds together, my life would be quite ideal. sigh, i guess you can't have everything...

seriously, 12 cupcakes??

lets recap this week, shall we?

firstly... i wake up on thursday morning to find out there was a BOMB in times square... literally in front of my office. so i walked by bajillions of news cameras on my way to work. of course. why not?

on friday i ventured to westchester with work to do store checks. had a great time, built a robot, you know... the usual. then after driving TWO HOURS from the les to the uws, i went to pick up mel from penn station. it was POURING so we stayed in (delivery is a grace from god) and i totally passed out from being up so early.

saturday, mel and i got h&h bagels and were going to walk around but it was POURING again. so... we went to crumbs, bought a 12 pack of mini cupcakes... and ate them... all.. in like 30 mins. we ordered delivery again (HALLELUJAH!) and left to go to the sia concert. she was FUCKING amazing. seriously, one of the best performers i have ever seen. we had such a great time. and we ended the night with pinkberry. how appropriate.

today, we went to sarabeth's for brunch where i ate like a porker (ummmm, diet and gym resumes tomorrow?). mel had to go back home, and i returned home to clean my apartment for the arrival of my godmother tomorrow. i ordered delivery (this is getting sick), watched dvds, and cleaned. which brings me to now... i plan on watching a little hannah montana, cleaning my room, and going to bed. oh what a life i lead.

TEAM FIERCE

oh hi!

so another (semi) celeb sighting. i was in the caf at work today (which they call the lodge) and i was waiting in line for my turkey cheeseburger, and literally in front of me walks sway, who you may have see doing the news on trl. i work in a RIDICULOUS place.

i went out for drinks with my department in honor of one of my coworkers birthday's. i was dreading it because i wasn't feeling well and was so tired. but i am SOSO glad i went. i had a great time. and yeh, we were all a little tipsy, but it made it all the better. i am so glad i am on the team that i am on. they honestly are looking out for me.

that's all from me. i have to go to bed bc i have a million meetings tomorrow. ahhh.
also YAY christian for willing project runway! he was my fav from the beginning. go team fierce!!

And I want, I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way?
