Where in the World Wednesday - Arizona!
I'm participating in Classy in Philadelphia's Where In The World Wednesday!The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you in someplace in the world...it doesn't have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just a picture of you somewhere that you conside...

Im talkin desserts!!! Since we had two Thanksgivings (one at my parents, and a "Postgiving" at our friends), I was up to my elbows in dessert!! And I need to share these recipes with you, because they are THAT GOOD.Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes. Oh ye...
“So much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.”
These last few days since Thanksgiving have been SO busy. And I've been on my feet for literally 40 of the last 48 hours, so my feet are aching, and I am running on fumes right now. I have a lot of things to catch you up on (like my car situation), r...
I'm lucky to have these memories...
This weekend I randomly thought of a conversation I had with my cousin Tyler, when I was visiting her in Arizona back in June. We were talking about family, and how lucky we are in regards to how close our family is, which I think is a major attribut...
"You were just hanging 400 feet in the air and you can't walk down a spiral staircase??"
Before I go into detail about us ziplining over the Costa Rican mountains, I just wanted to let you all know that my GAP party was awesome, and I have a KICK ASS giveaway for you!! Stay tuned!!The first full day that we were in La Fortuna, we were sc...
Curitas, rafting, erupción volcánica, y una enorme polilla.
(I used an English to Spanish translator to get that sentence, so if it's incorrect, not my fault. And apparently there is no Spanish word for "rafting".)I was trying to figure out how to recap Costa Rica without boring everyone to tears. I know myse...
From Coney Island to Costa Rica!
Tomorrow Dave and I are off to Costa Rica for 8 days! I cannot wait! We're doing all sorts of awesome stuff like white water rafting, kayakin and ziplining through the jungle tree tops. (I am terrified of 2 out of 3 of these activities, FYI. But I'm ...
Corona, Chelsea and some Meatpacking too
I love that I can name three areas of Manhattan/Queens and people from outside of NYC will have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, in these three areas of NY we got through three things on our NYC-to-See list!!When I was at my parent's house in ...
Happiness comes in a box (from the GAP!)
Yesterday I was FLIPPING OUT when bloggers were twittering about getting welcome boxes from Brand About Town and the GAP. Where was mine? OMG was I not chosen? How could I not be chosen? I'm pretty freaking awesome! What was going on?? I asked Dave i...
Now you Know my Nose
Since my tweets and facebook update this past Sunday that I pierced my nose, you people, (Yes, YOU people) have been clamoring to see it. I'll be honest, at first I wasn't sure if I liked it, and I keep thinking that it's way bigger than it really is...
From LA to AZ
I feel like I blinked and then realized it's been a week since I last blogged. Wow. This week was just crazy with being in LA for work, and then flying down to Arizona to see family. Unfortunately my uncle's mom passed away right when I got down ther...
A little bit of NYC for you and me
I realized today that I've done some pretty cool stuff in the city recently, and haven't blogged about any of it yet! I want to make sure that I share these things with you guys, so...Atlantic Avenue Tunnel Tour - this is the world's oldest subway tu...
Happy Birthday Dave!
Happy 30th Birthday Dave!!!!I hope you enjoyed jumping out of a plane for your 30th birthday as much as this picture shows...I love you!! (and the fact that you threw "the rocker" while falling from 6,000 feet!)...
A San Francisco Treat!
Just landed in San Fran today for an event. I'm bone tired (what does that even mean?) and although it's only 6:45pm West Coast time, I would not be upset at the prospect of going to bed soon.Random note - what is it with people on the plane who insi...
CHRISMAPOCALYPSE!!
When I moved from my town in Queens to the Boogie Down Bronx, I wasn't aware of how much people liked to decorate for the holidays here. Even Halloween is a huge holiday. And as I've learned, decorating in the Bronx means one thing... inflatable lawn...
Weekend in Pictures
Friday night:Saturday night:Sunday night:...
Nightmare Before Christmas
I feel like every town has a "Christmas House". Usually these houses have a huge amount of lights, a Santa or two, lots of crazy blow up things, (we currently have a huge penguin in front of our house due to our landlords... I am not a fan), etc. The...
More proof that I am bad Jew
Like you needed more proof???And obviously the best place for our stockings is hanging off of our bar. Instead of cookies, Santa will have a cornucopia of booze.Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!...
Day as a tourist...
I had friends in from Savannah, Georgia today, so Dave and I spent the day running around NYC as tourists, showing them around. (One of them had never been to NYC.) It's now 11:40pm, I'm exhausted and there's 20 minutes left in the day to post. With ...
Israel - the Land of Milk, Honey, and Lost Luggage
When I saw that this month's Blog Carnival was about travel, I got really excited, because, well, I never really posted about my trip to Israel. Only yesterday I uploaded all the pictures (and there are a lot) to Flickr. But then I had to think - wha...
Snickers Cookies - Photo Essay Style!
I haven't photo essayed (that's so not a verb) a recipe in awhile, and figured that Snickers Cookies would be a perfect recipe for it!I made these for my boss' birthday today, and EVERYONE is raving about them. It's a little labor intensive having t...
Let Freedom RING
Like many, I was thrilled when Barack Obama became our 44th President. (Well, President-Elect until Jan 20, but whatever.) But I was also extremely disappointed that Prop 8 passed in California. For such a great step forward, this sure was one big st...
"I am the Carrot from HELL!!!" - and other Halloween tales
Take 1 drunk friend + a homemade carrot costume, and that's what he will yell up and down the streets of NYC on Halloween night.Carrot from HellThat was definitely one of the highlights of the night. The bar crawl that we went on wound up being kind ...
NaBloPoMo peer pressure. :)
I went back and forth for awhile about doing NaBloPoMo again this year, and then saw that a bunch of you were doing it again, or for the first time. So, as you can see it's now 11:20pm EDT, and this is my post. Yeah, yeah, I decided I'm going for it....
The Fourth-Fourth
I spotted a new meme (ughh that word!) on Jen on the Edge's blog, called the Fourth-Fourth meme. On this one, you open up the picture files on your computer, choose the 4th folder, and then the 4th picture in that folder.The picture that came up? Tha...
An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away...
Or, An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away and Takes Up Entirely Too Much Room in My Fridge.Dave and I went apple picking today at Applewood Orchards, and of course, picked far too many apples. One bag went to our friend Maria, who is going to make Dav...
Leeaaaaviiiiiiiing on a Jet Plaaaane! (Again!)
So I'm off to Chicago again! As you're reading this, I'm most likely on the plane (yes, I auto-blogged this, leave me alone), and heading off to do another event in the Windy City. With that, I will leave you with a few things:Packing sucks!! I'm rea...
Rain, Rain, Go Away...
Back from Chicago, with nothing much to report besides my event being pretty good, minus some small glitches like tons of sessions ending 15 MINUTES early (NOT a good thing), and it raining all day. However, it did end on a good note with a bunch of ...
