I keep updating this because I have more to say.

  • My breakfast this morning: Chocolate cake - a Brooklyn Blackout piece of deliciousness, I might add. Mike did it, too. Don't judge. I love Two Little Red Hens. Even if it makes me chubby.
  • On a similar note- I don't remember the last time I wore a sports bra. This could be a problem. It's finally warming up, so Central Park might just become my friend again.
  • "The latest news on Britney Spears" is a phrase I never want to hear again on The Today show, or I'm boycotting it forever. Seriously. This is not Entertainment Tonight people.

  • I'm obsessed with English Muffins recently, but only because I can put a ridiculous amount of Sara Beth's Orange Apricot Marmalade on them. Mom, I'm sending you this for Mother's Day. You'll die of happiness.

  • I'm also infatuated with my new{ish} bag. I can't stop using it. It's the perfect size {think notebook, book{s}, iPod, Blackberry, water bottle, flip flops, etc. etc.} & I never have to think about what color shoes I'm wearing.
  • Speaking of iPods - My new one, after the death of my last one, is still silent & empty. I just haven't found the time to upload anything to it. Someone needs to invent a super cool company that fills your iPod with all of the perfect songs & creates all of the perfect play lists. Why has this not happened already?
  • I'm going to LA for work next week & can't wait to be in the sun, eat at In 'n Out & finally try Sprinkles Cupcakes. I also can't wait to take advantage of the cross-country trip to sneak up to San Francisco to see Haidyn {& her parents} for the weekend. Have I mentioned that I want to live in San Francisco so badly? Well, I do.
  • We've been apartment hunting for three weeks now. It has been stressful enough that we just might not move after all, & stressful enough that I haven't even wanted to write about it {if I don't talk about it, is it really true?}. We'll see. It needs to be said though - Only in Manhattan is it acceptable for a real estate broker to suggest that you put your bedroom dresser in your living room {because the bedroom is so small}.
  • I'm working to be more balanced. This involves learning how to say "no" to work & spending more time on things that matter. I think this should likely also involve not eating chocolate cake for breakfast, but everything in moderation, right? I eat bird seed {Kashi} every other day, promise. It also involves things like unsubscribing from all of the junk emails I get, cleaning out my closet, & recommitting myself to goals that are important.
  • Yesterday was 75 degrees with 32% humidity. Absolutely flawless.
  • Oh- & finding out that the new assistant to the head of our firm is a recent Mormon convert... it was fun. We've had some good talks since we discovered each other. It's fun to have that in common with someone at work.

  • I love the bell sleeves on this white shirt from GAP's Design Edition.
  • I hate, hate, hate public restrooms. Especially at work. Especially when you run into someone you know, & they proceed to talk to you while you are busy.
  • Sometimes I think my blog is really stupid & that I should just keep a journal. Especially when I appear to be a bad person because of my honest thoughts regarding my hesitation to say Bless You when strangers sneeze. I mean, I really just don't think that a person needs to be blessed because they had to rid their nose of dust or pollen, or maybe because the woman next to them is wearing extra-strong perfume, so I think that maybe I'm okay just not saying it. Because really, I don't like things that are done purely out of social obligation {& I always think that when I do say Bless You}, but that doesn't mean that I'm a bad person.

i love your girly posts and I HATE that the news announces stories about jamie lynn spears breaking up with her high school boyfriend. WHO CARES!!! as far as I am concerned, most celebs are insane and the fact that we are so intrigued by them is sick.

Can I second that public bathroom thing a million times over? Oh how I hate them.

I like your blog and this post is just one of the many reasons why!

public restrooms - yuck! V cute GAP shirt. We have a favorite apricot jam over here too. So good. And I would never judge about the chocolate cake for breakfast. Totally acceptable.

Oh and the article about mormons and reality tv was a fun read.

I love that purse. It must come in so handy. I also love your blog so don't stop blogging.

I'm so jealous that you will be in CA for a week. Is it for work? When do you leave? We'll miss you.

- Cute Bag

That article was so interesting. I totally remember the Julie girl from Real World.

The coworkers talking during the business -- I totally get that. It is so strange. Don't you wonder how those people don't think so too?

Where is the bag from?
