SNAPSHOTS

This is how I spent my week away from the city and away from Hurricane Sandy. Lots of country roads and good cooking. I was relieved, however, to finally make it back into my apartment and get back to the routine of things. 

Everyone who has been affected by the hurricane are still in my prayers. The storm caused a lot of devastation in the city and outside the city. My heart goes out to those who are still dealing with the aftermath.

It's Friday. Woo hoo! My parents will be arriving shortly, and I cannot wait to see them. Having them visit me in my very own apartment makes me feel so grown up. When did this happen?! Ah. They are bringing a few finishing touches for my place, so I am really happy about that. Here's to a fun, relaxing weekend!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

SATURDAY IN THE CITY

I finally got to enjoy a little bit of my home this past weekend. Zachary came to visit the city for the very first time (ever!), and I acted as a little tour guide for him. The 100 degree weather was not the best to be out in. Actually, it was pretty awful. Can I please just say that I am so ready for the fall? This heat is not my friend. We started the day off near Washington Square Park, a place I spend a lot of time since I work right near Union Square. During the afternoon, we escaped the nasty weather for awhile and visited the MET. I was super excited to see the Prada and Schiaparelli exhibit, Impossible Conversations. You must go check it out! We ventured on to Central Park and Battery Park. To end the night, we enjoyed pizza at one of my favorite spots near Times Square. Yeah, we actually entered that horrible tourist trap. It was a well spent Saturday, despite the nasty heat. There is more to come about the rest of my weekend!

Now, here's to another work week. I think we can all agree that Mondays are never fun.
