my work station

So I don't know how many of you that I mentioned to that I was putting up a shelf in my kitchen this weekend. Actually, the shelf has followed my over all credo in my New York apartment... Found and free items!!! This beauty was actually a piece of 1X6 that was painted brown. I found it in the alley and cleaned it. Took a walk to Home Depot for a few angle irons to hold it up and I have myself a shelf! Pretty rockin'. Since my hobby is cooking, this is a step towards the kitchen being my favorite room in the apartment. Why don't you come over for soup and wine?

my friend marsha and my sister leah-haha

So, what the hell. i will give it another shot. I am all for turning over new leafs... leaves...whatevs. Yet another New Years resolution in October. Marsha of Marma Designs and Leah of MoxiePhotoandDesign tell me constantly that I should blog. I started a blog years ago... oh wait, that was in January for my 4 month tour... Seems like a long damn time ago!

News in my life...

*Went to see the movie BLINDNESS last night with a friend from down under. Had a great time and plan to go to THE DARK KNIGHT next week (yes, we are the only ones in the world that haven't seen it yet).

*I started a new job this past week at NEWSBAR right off of Union Square. It's fun, I guess. I thank God for my 2 years experience as a barista at Starbucks B&N and Cafe Colonial(yeesh!)... otherwise it would prove to be a little daunting.

*I have started a new hobby. Crossword Puzzles. I have never been able to finish one, and in fact in all my 27...28 years, everytime I try to start one I lose interest almost immediatley. But I have found in the recent past that once you stick with them, you get on a role and pretty soon half the puzzle is done! Then you feel smart too! I haven't finished a whole puzzle yet, but I bought a book of them yesterday at the Borders at Madison Square Gardens (don't tell my former employer B&N that I shopped there). I have high hopes. It goes well with a cup 'o joe.

*Today's list of things to do... must find a Tux shirt. I am starting to get catering gigs that require a tuxedo. I know nothing except that I have been in 4 weddings and went to prom twice. Top Shelf Staffing is meeting me half way as far as purchasing a tux. They are getting the coat and pants. I need the shirt and tie. Also, must stop at the New York Public Library and get my jury duty shtuff figured out.

*Tomorrow I get a piece of FREE Broadway Theatre. Nuttin better than that. Thanks to my friend Lila. She got us tix for "TO BE OR NOT TO BE". I'll take it!
