Don’t we all look forward to the end of the day? I look forward to the end of every day because I never go straight home. This week, I look forward to seeing a friend, going to dinner, and going on a short mini-vacation “upstate”. Never a dull moment.Not unless you let there be.

30DHN: Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Me
1. I constantly have to be having a text conversation with somebody. I think I’m addicted to human interaction. It’s a little embarrassing. And maybe unhealthy. Sometimes I’m okay without it while I’m walking and listening to music, but lately it’s gotten worse and worse. 2. I hate showers. I love baths. Especially early in…

30DHN: What I Love About My Job
I totally do, you guys. I totally love my job. Oh, I have two jobs, and I absolutely love them both. I love being a “greeter” in an NYC store because I get to chat up perfect strangers. I get to coo at babies and give candy to toddlers in cute hats. I make so…

Weekend Update!
How could I possibly resist a link-up named after a segment on SNL? I couldn’t. So I’m linking up with Sami’s Shenanigans to let you know a little about my whirlwind weekend!

30DHN: My Family
Today is a scary morning. I’m waiting to see if I’m scheduled to work on Black Friday. If I am, it means I’ll be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year’s alone. No family. The funny thing about my family is that I grew up independent. I never really saw the importance of family. I wanted…

Sometimes Silver Linings…
…are made of tin foil. Like, for instance, when you’re on an awkward date at Chipotle, and it’s really really cold, and your hands are freezing. You buy yourself some tacos, force some awkward conversation, and end up finding a pair of leather gloves! And also, a flying crane made out of burrito wrappers.

30DHN: Style Inspiration for the Season

And my fall/winter…

30DHN: The Last Item I Purchased
The last item I purchased were some Biotin supplements at Duane Reade. At the register, the checkout clerk asked me how I was doing. I replied honestly that I was doing well.

30DHN: Three Years Ago Today
November 11, 2009 I wake up early in my house in Forest Hills, Queens. Turn on the TV to NY Nonstop to get the weather forecast for the day. Take a slow, leisurely bath in the bathroom with hideous peeling wallpaper and plastic shower curtains taped to the tile walls to prevent them from crumbling. …
