Last night was the best kind of night. I got dressed up, put my heels on and headed out. I left all my anxiety about organized birthday parties at the door. I had dinner at my favorite restaurant with my 3 best friends and their significant others. I walked 3 blocks to find 25 of my favorite people and spent the night celebrating, singing and dancing my heart out with them. I received two of the...

Favorite Things
On your birthday at my company, someone sends an email out saying Today is… Susie Smith’s birthday and then includes pictures of your favorite things. You never know who “advises” the sender on your “favorite things” and you have no idea what they’ll be. I’ve been having anxiety for the past week that mine would be Chipotle, wine and Diet Coke. Which...

Sometimes my company lets me write on their public forums. Today, they are letting me giveaway a box of free stuff like towels, cups, whisks and more. Check it out if you have a minute.
Birthday Poll
I have roughly $300 left to spend in birthday money and my birthday is on Monday. I already have a KitchenAid and the J.Crew bauble necklace.
I need help! Any great ideas? Anything you are dying to have?

Gratitude
My life is a constant drum of anxiety but today I am grateful for parents who continue to believe in their kids long past the point of realistic hope, new friends who invite you to dinner parties on a whim, football on a gorgeous afternoon with one of my NYC favorites, and Sunday movie and dinner with college friends who feel more like family in this city so far from our actual families.
There...

Confession Wednesday
I am TERRIBLE at money managing. I am TERRIBLE at budgeting. I am currently in a heaping lot of debt because of these two facts.
2012 started off so well. Then I had a 4 day weekend and now I have $90 to last me through 2 weekends that include the following:
Work outing
Birthday Broadway outing
Friend’s birthday outing
NFL playoffs
Groceries
The worst part is that I never end...

Things that are bullshit:
neffsays:
Buying the members of a couple individual gifts (because, you know, they are separate entities and I treat them as such), and they, in return, give gifts as a couple.
This is whiny and comes off as gift-grabby, I get it, but it frustrates me around Christmas.
Seconded
$1 Gift Cards on Restaurant.com →
With PROMO CODE: JOY. I got 4 $25 gift cards for $4. Amazeballs.
Ya’ll - my brother called me this morning (he works there!) and I’ve been dying to share all day but the site was running slow. Do it now. There are tons of restaurants in all major cities. Usually $10 for $25 credit, today it is only $1-$3. You can also get $25 Restaurant.com gift cards for $1.50. LOVE.

JCrew glitter iPhone 4 case in gold.
Cashmere EchoTouch glove in black. It gets cold in New York and what will I do when I’m walking down the street and I need to skip the creepy John Wayne Gacy song on Come on Feel The Illinoise? TAKE OFF MY GLOVES?

Today I am Blissfully happy
I woke up this morning and all but skipped to work. After such a hard couple of years, I am grateful to be in a place where I can feel myself getting back to normal. As I walked to the subway station, I realized that I was just so, so happy.
During my sabbatical, I made sure to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what would make me happy. Once I figured it out, I was purposeful in trying to...

Unpopular Opinions
Things I discussed at Brooke’s Tumblr meetup last night:
How I hate nail polish
How I hate Harry Potter
How I hate Erin Condren planners
How I haven’t read the Hunger Games
How I think Ryan Gosling looks weird and skinny
How I would not fly across country for a nationwide Tumblr meetup (Sorry Kristin)
I’m clearly the BEST.PERSON.EVER. to invite to tumblr parties.
I Miss...
Lately I’ve had so many moments where missing someone overwhelms me to the point I have had to stop and take a deep breath. It’s in a Saturday morning brunch that I miss an old friend. In the middle of a football game or a family holiday that I miss my brother. In a night of Chipotle and How I Met Your Mother that I miss a former boyfriend. In a work dilemma that I miss several former...
