I always, every single time, have the same feeling of happy happy joy joy upon arriving in NY/NJ. Every time! I love the northeast! Down 95 we go, heading to Tinton Falls and Monmouth Beach for the nuptials of Dave and Maureen.
Heading to New Jersey tomorrow for a wedding weekend. Tinton Falls? Not sure where that is other than an hour or so from the Newark airport. Matt’s best friend from high school is getting married. He was in our wedding, Matt is in his. I am wearing a spectacularly loud Ali Ro party dress. It is short, multicolored, and tight on my “I’ve gained weight since my wedding 6...
Eeeeeegads....
The people on Hoarders both fascinate me and make me sad. Oh, and thirdly, I see a bit of certain family members in them. The sentimentality part, that is. Which might be the reason why I am able to now love something and then part with it: because I have grown up with lots and lots of stuff!! Although - I liked it at the time because my mom would deal with it - put it in boxes in the...
Short week, yippie!
I am taking Friday off to fly up to NJ where Matthew’s best friend from high school will be wed. I love weddings, I love the East coast, and I love these people - so I am expecting a really good time to be had by all!
My husband just said, “Where’s the 20 deep valet?” Oh honey, that’s only downtown where the youngins live…
Christ, going out in suburbia is boooooring. We tried to go to Mi Cocina (beloved Mia’s parent restaurant) at Forest Lane and it was simply depressing. No one was without child and it was very quiet. So we went down south a few exits to Mia’s, my abfab texmex place, and could only have one margarita due to the drive back. Fabulous dinner otherwise. So we stopped at a texmex place by our new...
I like Bethenney
a bizarre amount. I want to bump into her in NY and be friends. Her husband (fiance in this episode) seems like a sweet pea too.
I am a home owner!
We have had electricians, vent people, gutter people, landscapers, alarm system people, plumbers, and….I think (hope) that’s it at our house every day for 2 weeks. Owning a home is expensive and slightly exasperating, like, how did the previous owners LIVE HERE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS PLACE? But I love it anyway :) I can’t wait until our townhome sells so that we...
I just finished taking the most dumbed down driver’s ed course for my company car…on backing up…for the second time…because the first time didn’t work and I backed into something AGAIN.
Can’t wait to get home to clean tonight. I never thought I would ever say that. Dogs + yard + hardwood floors = I bought a Swiffer wet mop for every room. I have them just leaning in the corners of each room for quick access. It’s nuts. I would also like to note that a white duvet cover was a BAD idea.
Watching a documentary on the history of Sears on CNBC. I’m a total history nerd, so I love this. We just bought a new washer & dryer at Sears yesterday and the experience reminded me of my childhood, coming with my parents for appliance purchases…ahh nostalgia :)
The best part of today was when we picked up the pups at daycare. I asked Sarah how they did today. She said, “Good, we had Gigi in with all the rest of the dogs but she was getting picked on, so we moved her to a smaller pen.” I said, “Picked on how?”
All of a sudden, I hear someone talking like hemeehemwarywarychubachubakakykaky…it was a small brown and white Boston Terrier. Making that...
The Whole Foods store by our new home is AMAZING. It is 2 levels, with a spa on the second level. You can book a massage and have them do your shopping for you. Just give them a list and after your massage you pack up your groceries and go home. Plus, there are more sections, like the handmade candy apple counter, the smoked meats counter, and a bajillion different little soup stations...
Just looked at some of our wedding photos... →
