Holy home decor - I'm going nuts
Never in my life has a bath mat caused me such excitement — until now. Thanks to many of your suggestions, I found one at Home Goods that is utter perfection! I have a running list of all the things I have to buy and was excited to check Bath mat, white and fluffy off the list.
In the midst of home decorating mania, I’m focusing on my living/dining area first. I am in love with the...

Great interior design tips!
— Always try to place a mirror on the opposite wall from a window. It will trick the eye into widening the room and you’ll be reflecting something attractive.
— Ottomans are your friend: used for storage, extra seating, foot-rest, or a coffee table (just place a few removable trays on top). Not to mention the fact that they can come in any material or pattern.
— First and...

To Homegoods I go...
Thanks for everyone’s feedback on where to go for bathroom decorating essentials! I’m headed to Homegoods on my way home from work today and will probably check out overstock.com and Amazon later tonight.
Also on the agenda for tonight: Dinner with co-worker after Homegoods, seeing co-worker’s new home after dinner, and birthday drinks with Renee, Manfriend and more friends...

Goodnight, sleep tight - or so I thought
After some serious celebrating Friday night about my new apartment, Brad and I left our friends, came home and went to sleep.
Around 4 a.m., I woke up to crashes, things falling to the ground and loud booming noises — and Brad was nowhere to be found. I realized the racket was coming from my laundry room, on the other side of my bedroom. It sounded like he was pulling things off the...

Empire State of Mind
I surprised Brad with tickets to the Empire State Building observatory while we were in New York!
We made the cold trek from our hotel to the ESB and waited for our turn to squish in the elevator and ride up to the 86th floor. Lines were long, but we were determined.
Despite the freezing temperatures and knock-me-over winds that day, we headed outside and threw some bows to get near the glass...

And then we walked into a gay bar...
At first we didn’t know it, but then we didn’t care!
We high-fived strangers on the street as we walked away from the dispersing crowds, and suddenly we were standing in front of Bamboo 52, a lounge and sushi restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen.
They were still seating people for sushi after midnight, so we grabbed a table, ordered a few rolls, asked for two glasses of champagne but...

New Year's in New York
It’s about time I got around to blogging about the weekend trip I took with Manfriend to ring in 2010.
Brad and I touched down in NYC around 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve after a pre-flight beer, a few take-off tears and an on-flight vodka cranberry (all me, of course).
We grabbed a cab and headed into the city, and since our hotel was in the heart of the Theater District, the cab dropped...

seventyxseven-deactivated201006 asked: I'm a writer as well so I appreciate talent when I see it. I read the article you wrote that you won an award for. It nearly moved me to tears. I wish you all the best on your book; it sounds like a Carrie Bradshaw-esque sorta thing which is lovely! I'd buy it...and then say, "Hey, I remember when she first talked about that on Tumblr." Haha! :)
