what's my deal?


i apologize for the delay... i've been busy and ridiculously unmotivated to blog, so here's a snippet of my life as of late.

  • my mom & my tony visited us. it was a fabulous long weekend with so much awesomeness crammed into a short yet long weekend... from delicious food (bogota, joe's, shake shack) to the botanic garden to coney island and a traumatizing ride on the cylcone (for mom & paul) to times square and the cherry on top - a live taping of david letterman. 
  • running... oh, how should i put this? hmmm. today is the day of the big 5k... and to put it mildly, i did not run the 5k; i didn't even go. i have so many excuses to throw at you to make myself feel better, but the two main reasons are weather and lots of work. don't be angry with me; i'm disappointed in myself (mainly b/c summer is just around the corner, and i jiggle like a bowl full of jelly). anyway, we did run today, just not exactly 3ish miles. paul is in way better shape than me, and he's so nice to go at my speed (ridiculously slow), so that we can run together... what a darling!
  • we're heading to paris in just a few days. on wednesday night, we'll be off to the land of baguettes and cheese... oh man, i'm ready for the deliciousness. oh, and i've realized that i've been lying to everyone; the flight to paris is 7.5 hours. i have no idea where i got that it was 5.5 or 6. i'm just not very smart - oops.
  • i lost my ipod. did i already tell you? i've been really hard on myself about it b/c it was less than a year old, and i lost it on a work trip somehow. my husband is so wonderful and is offering to get me a new one... i may take him up on it, but to make myself feel better, i want to get him an upgrade and take his old one.
  • i finally went to the eye doctor and spent far too much money on new glasses... but they're so cute, and i love them, and i've never had nicer lenses in my life, and i finally see why nice lenses matter.
hopefully i'll get back into the whole blogging thing b/c recently, i just cannot force myself to take the time to share all of my hilariousness with you... b/c i'm really funny, and you're really missing out.



(enjoy all the photos from our trip with the fam!)

Can't imagine how good your pictures are going to be and how insightful your world view with new, good lenses, when your pictures were already amazing and your world view informative and motivating.

Glad Mom & Tony had a great time with you guys in the Big Apple. Hope Tony was just stretching, not hurling after the combination of Nathan's and the Cyclone, and those three were mugging on the bus or subway, not getting mugged.

We do miss your blog posts and it is largely because you are so funny and so gifted at narrative, but we understand the pressures of job and life.

I'm proud of you just for continuing to run, whether it's a formal 5K or not.

Have a wonderful time in Paris--I think you'll find the French (at least Parisians, not country French) much less hospitable and fun and charming than the Spanish, Portugese, Italians, and Irish, but Paris itself I think will be impressive. But that's all based on books and hearsay.

We're working on our New York trip, so you'll have that to look forward to after France and hopefully before Nebraska.
