The weekend recap.

GO GIANTS!! I had to get that out there first.  I'm so proud to be a new New Yorker :) I spent the game party hopping- great to see a lot of friends, eat SO much food.. ( I wore my stretchy pants), and watch a fantastic win.  I made my favorite Peanut Butter Corn Flake cookies.. yummm.

Aside from the game, my friends and I went to see 'How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying', got manicures (and I got my first eye brow waxing..!), ate at Southern Hospitality (Justin Timberlake's restaurant), went dancing, listened to amazing bands at Rockwood Music Hall ... it was wonderful.

So grateful for the wonderful people in my life.  You make my dreams come true (ooh ooh)- Hall and Oats, anyone??

That GAME and its parade!

So, the GIANTS wont the Super Bowl this weekend. KIND of a big deal around these parts.. today was the celebratory parade and it was NUTS! Lucky for me, my office is around the corner from the start of the parade so my friend, Melissa, and I were able to sneakily get front and center spots!

You could say that people were pretty excited..

Adorable Melissa.

Ticker tape EVERYWHERE.

The trophy!!

Moments like these make me SO proud to be a New Yorker.  Go Giants!

He's home :)

I love this boy so much!  You were as incredible a missionary as you are a brother.

The Museum of Modern Awesomeness.

It took me 15 months, but I finally made it to the MoMA!  I spent the afternoon with some of my good pals, Monet, Warhol, Klimt, Van Gogh.. just hanging around [get it?? get it??] :) I'm a museum geek- have gone to the Met more times than I can remember, so I was excited to get to see new pieces and new styles!  Here are a few of my favorites.. 

A few pieces in there had me thinking.. "really??".  There was a blank white canvas by some guy.. really?? And a pile of bricks in another room... hmm.  That's a stumper, right there.  I guess the age-old question remains, "What is art?".

On the whole though, I walked out today entirely inspired.  Who know's, maybe I'll grab some paint brushes, and stick them in a plastic case, too :)

Roommate Christmas.

I already miss Christmas so I'm posting some picts of my roommates' and my gift-giving night.. love these girls, and the presents :) Nerf guns (how awesome is that..), peppermint bark (my favorite candy in the worrrrrrld), egg nog baking mix (yes, for crepes, cookies.. ), and cute stockings and earrings.  Pretty good loot, hmm?

 

 

T minus 11 months! ps, how cute was our little tree??

 

Elephant on my mind.

Another cold day, another art project! I'll take full advantage of a night in if I can get creative...

I saw this cute poster at Urban Outfitters but didn't like the price... SO, I decided to replicate :)

   

Next up, a giraffe.  Then a lion?  Happy creating!

Finally it snowed!

Winter is officially here! For the first time this unseasonably warm winter, it snowed yesterday.  Pretty, white, fluffy snow.  I've been under the weather but decided that the occasion constituted a walk through Central Park where I was able to document.  The weather is expected to warm up a bit so the snow won't last long.. need to get pictures while I can!

I'm still learning to appreciate cold weather.. but I do like snow, at least before it gets slushy and dirty, so I hope to enjoy it as long as I can.  Tonight though, I'm cuddling up on the couch, hot cocoa in hand.. I can enjoy the snow again tomorrow :)

Here's to staying warm!
