operation organization


I've spent the majority of my Saturday cleaning and organizing my room, kitchen, apartment... everything. Unfortunately, my closet did not look this nice and tidy before I started. And even more unfortunately, it didn't look like this after I finished either. I don't know how things take a turn for the worse so quickly, but I think I've gotten them (somewhat) under control again... now to see how long they stay like that.

800th post!

I meant to do this way back at 500, but I guess I forgot. I can't believe this is my 800th post!! I never thought blogging would have kept my interest when I started this blog way back when as an idea LeeAnne gave me in November 2007 to make a simple countdown until I moved back to New York City.

tempted

I'm very tempted to try this out at a Starbucks somewhere this morning. I don't think I could pass for Harry... but maybe Hermione?

pies n thighs

Tonight I'm heading over to Brooklyn to try out LeeAnne's church and also this restaurant that I've been dying to try: Pies N Thighs. What could sound more appetizing than that?! I've been scouring the menu for at least a week trying to decide what I want to try. I still haven't decided and think it will come to a game-time decision...luckily, I probably can't go wrong with anything I choose! There's nothing like a good southern meal in the summertime, even if it's in New York.

julia child's kitchen

A few weekends ago, I was at an exhibit that had a display of Julia Child's kitchen. In the event of full disclosure, I didn't/don't know much about her except that she was the inspiration for the movie Julie and Julia (which I also have yet to see). However, I was thrilled to see her kitchen! It was fantastic. And made me dream of the day when my entire job can consist of being in a kitchen all day baking and cooking. Ah, what a dream!
