summer

don't get me wrong. i LOVE living in nyc. there is no place i'd rather be. but there are times that make me miss buffalo. because i went to hawaii this month (when's the next trip? sign me up!), i decided not to go home for memorial day weekend. so while everyone is having bbq's and beers on the patio, i have boiled hot dogs and beer on the couch. again, nothing really wrong with that... but i do miss suburbia at times. you can take the girl out of the suburbs, but you can't take the suburbs out of the girl. eh, c'est la vie.

in other news, it's almost june... holy shit! 2009 is just breezin by. summer in nyc is absolutely my favorite (it makes me forget longing for porch bbq's and riding miss pink with the top down). buffalo has fall beat for sure, but nyc becomes a different place in the summer. brunch outside, drinks at the boathouse, long walks, summer friday's (YIPPEE!!!). seriously excited. i am just always sad when september rolls around and it all ends. but we will cross that bridge when i get to it...

summer also brings visitors and trips. i must be out of my mind because i will be home to buffalo twice in one week. that's right-- i am going home for a wedding at the end of june. home thursday- sunday. come back to nyc monday- wednesday, then fly BACK to buffalo wednesday night- sunday. crazy girl. i don't know what i was thinking. but it had to be done. and the one flight only cost me $10 (because of a credit i had). woot! regardless, i am excited to go home for a little bit. need to visit some kids that i haven't seen in awhile.

that's it for me. time for some gym, grocery's, and loehmann's. happy memorial day, everybody.

hello may

the only update other than the fact that i have eaten like a fool this week and only visited the gym on monday is that i leave for hawaii in 5 days.

aloha,

quick update

blog-- is that you?

let's see... i can summarize my life in a couple sentences:
-i work between 12 and 16 hours a day (more than likely on the 16 hour side)
-i have been trying to diet because i am going to hawaii in may. thus far it has been a freaking roller coaster (which probably not aided by my nachos, potato skins, and beer i had last night)
-today is my father's birthday. i made him a powerpoint as a gift. this isn't a joke-- it's my life
-i may or may not be going to arkansas this week. yee-haw!
-my parents come for easter next weekend (meaders-- i want to go to smith and wollensky's again, but minus the whole puncture wound/bleeding leg thing)

and there you have it. i wish i could have fun things to update, but unless you care about how dora is doing at the biggest retailer on the planet, i am not very exciting. until next time my faithful followers.

annalisa out.

stressed to the max

i can't even begin to describe the stress in my life. i mean, working 14 hour days? working the entire weekend????
if i make it though to march, it will be an amazing miracle....


sigh. -annalisa

RETRACTION

i would like to retract two of my top 10's. yes, i did say two. why? because one thing changes both lists. how could i ever possibly forget dr. horrible's sing along blog (www.drhorrible.com)? i mean, BEST THING EVER. so please add dr. horrible as number 6 in music (bumping out katy perry. c'est la vie) and number 4 in movies (wow, now i have a top 6!).

ok, i'm going to go now...
