When sky blue gets dark enough To see the colors of the city lights
When my friend was visiting, we did every tourist ‘thing’ you can imagine. This included going to the top of the Empire State building. It was gorgeous. But it took us 2 hours to get there. First we started in a line outside. Then a line inside. Then a line to get into security. Then…

So I was walking down Broadway to the local Staples (I needed a mic for Skype so I could actually see my family on Christmas) and who do you think I saw? Tim freaking Gunn. I froze. Then I was like “get your phone out, fool, and take a pic” I was too slow on…

Read MoreExactly How Did We Fit All Our Shit In This Apt?
It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. We sold 99.9% of our stuff before we left Texas. That was a start. I had been researching ways to appropriately downsize (read: Pinterest addiction) for months before we actually moved. This is what I learned: Hide your shit. That is exactly how we fit all our stuff…
Read MoreCentral Park in the Morning
I took the pups to Central Park this morning. We usually go to Riverside park because its closer and it has a dog run but I wanted to switch it up. Plus, in the 1.5 months I’ve been here, I have yet to venture to Central Park which I’m pretty sure is a sin in…

My day at CBS’s The Talk was an absolute BLAST. I can see why my cousin loves working there. Everyone was so fun and nice. Once I got through security and signed my waiver form, they led me to my seat. The way that the studio was set up in New York was different. There…
