thanksgiving weekend

alright so here are the highlights... well... actually just whatever pics i had on my camera


it was a lot of fun to see everyone... and i'm back to work now.... and i think i have a cold... sucks.
been taking tylenol cold, nyquil, and airborne.... i need rest.

thanksgiving

pretty stoked that all of my family is coming in to town.
also mega stoked on making breakfast for everyone the day after thanksgiving! we're gonna have sausage-gravy and biscuits. YUM!

nothing new to report, just been working.

been thinking about buying or building a fixed bike... I want one badly. I don't know a lot about bikes though, so i'm not sure what's good.
any suggestions?

things that i "need"

so I bought this new bag from LeSportSac
love the print, for some reason it and 3 other prints were 25% off. which is awesome since i liked it anyway. plus the size is great and it's super light-weight


















Also bought this new lipgloss, Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Gloss, been meaning to try it for a while, since it claims to be non-sticky
tried it once when i got home, really liked the color, and it wasn't sticky. but the true test is using it throughout the days with out getting the tiny globs in the corners of my mouth, i hate when lipgloss does that.













ok, so this is how my room used to look.
queen size bed in a small room, it just wasn't a very efficient use of space


this is my rom now, turned the bed sideways and put it up against the wall. and added the wall tapestry and new rug.... trying to keep with the pinks and yellows

Sunday, on my day off... I slept in a bit. I believe it was daylight savings, even better.
went out to get some groceries and heard cheering... looked down the street to my right and this is what i saw

...yes, that's the New York Marathon, running past my new apartment on Greenpoint Avenue in Brooklyn

it made me feel... lazy and also miss my running days back when i did Cross Country in high school. I was going to buy food, and these people were running their asses off. I think it was roughly already 2hrs into the race. It could have been worse, I could have been going to get doughnuts.


Sunday night:
saw this outside Spike Hill, Brooklyn... I think. A stump turned art.

New purchases i made yesteraday:
The pea-coat is from the Gap and the scarf is from Urban Outfitters. I had my eye on that scarf for a while now... finally decided it's cold enough to buy it

This morning... heard a voice over a speaker/megaphone or something and lots of other sounds like construction or something... decided to finally take a peek out my window and see what was going on


i don't really know what happened...

I guess you don't have to go far to see something new and interesting in New York
