“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”

Happy Birthday Heath!

I’m not sure I would have joined Tumblr if not for you. I’m not sure if I would like cats if not for you. I’m not sure I would have done a lot of things in life if not for you.
You are you through and through and I love you for that! This year’s gonna be a biggy!

Xo,

I recently have embraced fun jewelry as part of my daily dress-up. Not sure why I was never on the bandwagon before, but I’m liking it.

Happy Mother’s Day to you, Mommy.

Thank you for filling my life with so much love.

An accurate portrayal of me, every morning, as I weave in and out of all of the New York City smokers I am forced to encounter on my walk to work. Usually, I like to add in the obnoxious get-your-smoke-out-of-my-face hand wave for dramatics.

“7. Better Yourself. Go running. Floss. Drink more water. Take vitamins. Buy food that does not come in a box. Do push-ups. Wake up at an AM hour. Do not sleep away your weekends. Stop Googling that spot on your arm. Read books. Learn an instrument. Think of others. Stop blaming other people. Stop blaming yourself. Turn your strengths against your weaknesses. Turn your hatred of every missed word or tarnished day into the next day. Do not merely need to do better; actually do better.”

I actually like this!

Drinking all my greens. Let us pray things don’t go awry before I leave the office…

You know what I mean.

Tonight my mastermind of a boyfriend decided it would be a great night for Mahi Mahi fish tacos. The man is a genius.

We used this recipe and they came out DELISH.

I have also just discovered how amazingly yummy mangoes (yes, that’s the plural for mango - weird, I know) are.

Mangoes in 2013!

Today we saw Orphans (with Alec Baldwin! Right in front of me!) on Broadway (highly recommend) for my mom’s birthday which was in April.

My long-term goals for when I am my mom’s age:

To inherit her youthful beauty (she’s never gotten one thing done, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be so lucky)

To inherit her unfaltering kindness and warmth. She is something really special.

the people i adore - who for some strange reason equally adore me
the fact that it’s slowly (really slowly) turning into spring
the purple, orange and yellow tulips blooming outside Chris’ building
baseball season (not that i actually follow it, but it just brings me a real feeling of peace and calm when it’s on TV in the background)
avocados, goat cheese, strawberries and red onions (all at once - thanks for the tip Heath!)
raspberry flavored seltzer
the real housewives of orange county (always #1 in my heart)
getting wrapped up in a good book (memoirs are definitely my favorite)
the open window letting in cool, fresh air right next to me

We have been in the car since 9AM traveling back to Hoboken from North Carolina. It’s currently 7:12PM and we are sitting in Turnpike traffic. We knew this would be the price we would have to pay.

The most necessary mini vacation doesn’t begin to describe it.

The beautiful wedding right on the beach + sharing it all with great friends (and awesome people we met - how nice is it to meet good people?) made this journey so very worth it.

Will so be taking a trip back to the Outer Banks in the not so distant future!

Can I just live on the beach permanently? I really wish I could.
