More of Manhattan

After day one of our return trip (slash semi-vacation) in New York, I already felt like I was back in the swing of things, living the Big Apple life.  I had Healthy Korner lunches on the go… Lemonade flavored VitaminWater Zero, PowerFu salad sandwich, apple. Then I squeezed in a few million bridesmaid-related errands…the most important being a haircut 🙂 It had been a while, and I finally sucked it up and made the plunge. Here I am at the rehearsal dinner after-party with my parents and short(er) hair.  Yes, my parents made the trip… Read more >

NY sizzle

Well, it’s safe to say my feelings about New York haven’t changed much.  Humidity is not my friend.  Aretha Franklin?  Nope, that fro is ALL mine.  God bless the inventor of the flat iron.  Our red-eye flight was as delightful as you’d expect any red-eye flight to be.  Luckily the only thing on the agenda for the day was a bridal shower for Jess.  In other words, I was in store for a day’s worth of boozing…which hardly helped the delirium that I was battling after 3 hours of interrupted shut eye. We couldn’t check… Read more >

Taco send-off

Oh hey, I know I said my blogging schedule would be jacked up with this NYC trip, but I guess I lied.  Thanks to Virgin’s power outlets I was able to use my computer for longer than 35 minutes (no lie, that’s seriously how long my laptop lasts sans power cord).  Anyways, you can thank Richard Branson for this (semi) timely post. Wednesday started with an anxiety ridden soccer game, followed by a fruity celebration. ‘Twas nearly patriotic.  Red, white yellow and blue.  Sorry Landon Donovan, next game day I’ll get my act together. The… Read more >

Getting back

Today was a full day.  A wedding prep extravaganza kind of a day.  Items now crossed off the to-do list: meeting with our pastor (for pre-marriage classes) invitation finalizing & printing (more) ring shopping (we finally got our wedding bands!) hair appointment-ing (no clue what I’m going to do with the mop I am rocking right now, but hopefully she’s got some ideas) closing my solo bank account (joint bank accounts, what, WHAT!) laundry gym time re-packing for yet another trip (back to New York this time!) That was thrilling for you to read about,… Read more >

Celebrating my pop-sicle

Sunday was an absolutely GORGEOUS day in the Bay.  I actually took this picture Saturday night when Kyle and I decided to take a stroll down memory lane (through Crissy Field).  For new readers, it’s where Kyle proposed to me a year ago.  It’s now two months until our wedding and I still feel as giddy as I did the day he popped the question.  Anyways, back to Sunday morning… Kyle and I woke up bright and early, said goodbye to the Marina, and headed to the East Bay to spend Father’s Day with my… Read more >
