I've moved!

Come check out my newly designed photo blog at www.jpinthecity.typepad.com.

Love At First Sight

Please meet my soulmate, Betty. It was love at first sight. Santa brought her to me. I do feel as if I'm whole now.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

So I don't think it got above 20 degrees today...so naturally, instead of doing the smart thing and curling up on the couch with a book and pot of coffee I thought it would be a FABULOUS day to go out adventuring. Yeah, I got about 3 blocks out and realized how stupid that was...but I pushed through it. I wound my way over to the west side and decided to stock up on a few craft projects for my next trip to Poughkeepsie to see my favorite family. I bought a few - ok - several things. But they were all so freaking cute I couldn't decide. So, as usual, I just bought them all. Yeah, I tend to go a bit overboard on basically everything...but I love it.

All I have to say is GOD BLESS the person that designed Uggs. I would not be alive had it not been for my fur (faux!) wrapped feet/legs today.

A new treasure from Brentwood....

Every time I go home there's one place I HAVE to go - my friend's boutique...HOT PINK. I always find the most amazing gifts and fun, quirky things to put around the house/office. I even had a necklace from her shop on once when a celebrity asked me where she could find it. Yeah, I felt cool for sure. Well - this time I found something that I could not live without. It was love at first sight. For anyone who knows me, this is definitely out of my usual rotation of designs. I can't explain it, but something about this necklace was the perfect holiday affair for me to have.


Apologies on the less than stellar full view - I never realized how difficult shooting jewelry was!

Some Christmas Love

I never know where to display my Christmas cards...so this year I decided to try something new. I love that every year my card list gets longer and longer as I make more and more friends.

A little orange in the big city - December 13, 2009

So the Lady Vols came to town to play Rutgers in the Maggie Dixon Classic at MSG. I took a friend, my boss, and her daughter. We had a blast - especially after we got the seat upgrade. My Mom saw me on tv before I could call to tell her where I was sitting. Talk about having a few legends in the house. This was taken with the telephoto from our actual seats.........


and THIS was our upgrade. Yeah, I rocked it.
Do we think I was in Heaven?!?!

so it's been a while....

But have no fear. I've been snapping. Not nearly as much as I would like to, but here are some of the best shots from the past few months.


He was worn out after our photo shoot.
Yeah, I LOVE my job.
Thanksgiving - Brooklyn style!
It was my first and last oyster shooter. I think it was the quail egg that was just a bit too much for me.
It was the most amazing thing - I couldn't eat enough of it.

It was sooooo good.
This is Kevin. He's from North Carolina.
