I walked by these pretty flowers in front of a brownstone on my way home from work. It’s hard to believe it is November here. It’s still so nice out!

Chinese Take out!

I felt pretty down today. Sad that it is taking longer than planned to find a good job, missing my friends and family. So Travis and I walked to the West Side via Central Park. The fall colors and fresh air did me a lot of good.

Colds are the worst!

I walk by this on my way to work. What’s even better is when I leave work it’s all lit up, all up and down Broadway are large, electric snowflakes. But, it’s not even THANKSGIVING! I love Christmas, but we have to do something people. It’s taking over more and more of our year.

I went to what I thought was a job interview in the Columbus Circle area. It was actually a staffing agency. They seem nice, but the only job they could find me was doing data entry into Excel spreadsheets in the far reaches of Brooklyn for low pay. Yeesh. I’ll pass.

These are my legs, and I love them. I am not a super-confident person, but I am willing to say that my legs are amazing and beautiful. They have taken me all over the world. Thank you legs!

I know this picture has possible the worst quality ever. It was taken through my New York City window that is nearly black with dirt. But, hopefully, you can figure out the gist of it. It’s a bulldozer scooping pavement into a dump truck. This happened right outside our window from 11p.m. until 4a.m. Travis had to sleep in the living room, because it kept him up. Now, we live in fear. The street outside our apartment is all torn up, and we are just waiting for the overnight construction to return.

A story about why I have an amazing boyfriend. I woke up this Sunday morning with a craving for blueberry pancakes. I told Travis this, figuring we would go to a nearby diner. Travis is a big pancake guy, but he likes chocolate chip pancakes without syrup. So that is all we ever have ingredients for in our pantry. He wanted to stay in that morning. I told him I was fine then with chocolate chip. They are still delicious. As I was lounging around, I saw him put on his coat and head to the store to get some ingredients. I’m sure the rest is predictable. He came home with blueberries and pancake syrup. I’m a lucky girl.
