Black Beauty

The other night I took my usual route home. While walking the three blocks from my office to the train I had to pass an area hotel and upscale steakhouse. What do I see parked out front?

Be still my heart. The Bentley Continental GT. One little known fact about me.... I am a car girl. And this one is HOT.

I noticed the car as I had to cross the entrance to the hotel. Did I slow my stride as I got closer? Perhaps. Did I walk on tiptoe to try and see over the super tall hedges covering the side view? Maybe. Did I give it a nice long once-over, once I walked past the hedges? Better believe it.

How beautiful is that interior?

Fast Lane... for New Yorkers only?

The always adorable Color Me Katie posted this picture on her blog today. She created this special little "lane" in NY explaining, "New Yorkers are known for always racing to their destination and since people from out of town like to take their time and actually enjoy the city, having separate lanes isn't a bad idea!"

hahahaha. As a New Yorker I love this idea. Getting stuck behind a slow poke on the sidewalk is one of my major pet peeves... especially when I'm late to work!

Squeek squeek!

Darn little hamsters. I love when they shake their heads to the beat.

Age of Aquarius

Tonight I was browsing through some my favorite tumblrs and I can across a post called "What month were you born in?" The entire thing was a list of months, and personality quirks/attributes of the person born in that month. I read my hunnie's month, some of the items were applicable some were not. Then I read mine...

outgoing personality. takes risks. feeds on attention. self control. kind hearted. Self confident. loud and boisterous. VERY revengeful. easy to get along with and talk to. has an “every thing’s peachy” attitude. likes talking and singing. loves music. daydreamer. easily distracted. Hates not being trusted. BIG imagination. loves to be loved. hates studying. in need of “that someone”. longs for freedom. rebellious when withheld or restricted. lives by “no pain no gain” caring. always a suspect. playful. mysterious. “charming” or “beautiful” to everyone. stubborn. curious.. independent. strong willed. a fighter. repost in 5 mins and you will meet the love of your life sometime next month

One or two items were off but otherwise... yeah. Even though I hate to admit it, it was pretty spot on. haha

Hello, I love you...

I am currently lusting after these beauties:

Be still my heart. If only I had a spare $800, and no looming financial obligations. Oh, and maybe the ability to wear 5.5 inch heels.

Thank You.

Thank for your service to our nation. Thank you for doing things that scare me. Thank you for doing things that keep me safe. Thank you for struggling through things I never could. Thank you for being you. Thank you.

Once upon a time it never occurred to me to say "thank you" to someone in uniform. I suppose I was intimidated by the uniform. I've since realized something very simple (and obvious). People in uniform are just that... PEOPLE. Remember, it doesn't need to be Memorial Day to say thank you...

My Head is full of water

I haven't had a full night's sleep in I don't know long. I might also add that I am not a lady who functions well with under 8 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I've been quite off kilter lately. The other night I sat down to pay off a bill (online) and ended up overpaying by $400! I emptied my checking account in the process. YIKES. I nearly cried. Of course it was late at night and the recorded customer service greeting told me to call again during normal business hours. You better believe I did.

Anyway... last night I prayed that I would 1) fall asleep and stay asleep for the entire evening and 2) wake up happy. I had a difficult time falling asleep but I slept for 6.5 hours. Though it's not my full 8 hours I'm still pleased! Also, I didn't feel immediately happy upon waking but who ever does?

It was 75 degrees when I left my apartment this morning. The humidity was palpable. I walked the slowest I've ever walked to get to the metro. Every day this week I've been dripping sweat before I even get on the train. UGH. I hate sweating. I was determined to beat the drip today. I DID! On the train I listened to some K$ which got me pumped. All in all, it's been a good morning so far. Let's hope the rest of the day continues in the same fashion.
