My 3$ I♥NY shirt converted into a slighty cooler version with braids around the collar and sleeves. 🙂 Because I really do ♥ NY! I keep hearing the phrase, “New York is a great place to live and a terrible place to visit.” And I totally agree. When you visit, you start at Penn Station, walk to Times Sq., go to Central Park, and Broadway. Well of course it is crazy in those places! The rest of NY is actually much more manageable. This, coming from me and I looked out my bedroom window to corn silos and fields my entire life.
I remember the first time I visited NYC, I left thinking people had to be crazy to live here. I thought everything was too crowded, stinky, and expensive… turns out you just have to be smart. And live in my building. 😀 But– it did take me like 2 weeks to find good bananas. And I still haven’t found any tomatoes. And I really need to stop buying cheap oranges…
My saddle shoes. These puppies are so fun. Isn’t it great to live in 2010 where you can wear shoes from the ’50s… listen to music from the ’60s and ’70s… snicker at the 80s… and still make digital photo animations? Yes. It is fabulous. I ♥ you, Internet. You too, Nikon D40.
Things I’m really lovin’ in NY:
Colors, trains, not waiting for the train…
Sunsets over the Hudson.
Cupcakes.
Blizzards.
Roofs. Churches built by Rockefellers.
Not diggin’ so much:
Blizzards that make my feet wet all day at work because I don’t have practical shoes. (Don’t worry, I ordered proper rain boots. I left these in Indiana… in anticipation that they are definitely not work appropriate. But as I look at them I kind of miss their cute little tail on the back) 😉
TOTALLY TOTALLY loving:
Finding different shades of legit turquoise in a bead store. Looked everywhere in Indiana for these! (I also am not color blind, I know that there is a yellow bottle in there.)

Tutorial for the NY shirt coming soon. 🙂
OH! I forgot to mention… I was on TV!!! Here is my NETWORK TELEVISION DEBUT!
Definition of class and attractiveness: 
(See the fingers with Cheez Whiz and the Reddi Whip? Oh yeah, that is totally me. 😀 ) Shameless? I think not. Bill Geist is my FAVORITE reporter of ALL time. And I love a lot of reporters.
