Question
Ladies of Tumblr, I need your help.
My daily “beauty” routine is very, very basic. Now, as it gets closer and closer to the day when all eyes and camera lenses will be on me and my face, I think I need some help. What should I be doing / using to ensure that I don’t look stressed, tired, or generally horrid in those pictures that are going to a) be expensive and b) be LIFE...

It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at my reflection in the mirror and said, “Damn, girl. I’m proud of you.” But this morning, while brushing my teeth and thinking back on this past week, I finally allowed myself to feel that feeling. It was awesome.
This week was, in a word, productive. I’m finally starting to see little glimpses of light at the end of...

Apparently I have 42 lbs of wine waiting to be picked up at my local FedEx. That’s a lot of wine. It’s not like a box and packing stuff weighs that much. Right?

Yay for wine!

The best part about working late on Tuesday to get my expense report done is waking up on Wednesday knowing that my expense report is done.
Time to sit back and let the assholes who need to get unfriended reveal themselves.

Pats are going to the mother fucking Super Bowl!
Woke up hangover free at 5:30 this morning (No drinking during playoff football? That’s impressive) and had my ass kicked by Tyrone at the gym. Lots of boxing drills, burpees, and abs. Hurts so good.
Got a seat on both of my subways and did some good reading before work.
I saw a couple full on making out on the sidewalk and it...

Stamp rates are going up on Sunday.
Which would normally be no big deal except that I’ve already ordered my custom designed stamps for the reply cards and now have to add a fucking horrid looking 3 cent stamp to ensure that we receive everything in the mail / our guests...

My flight landed early, my bag was the first one out, and there was no wait at the cab stand. It’s a damn miracle and the perfect way to end the greatest weekend ever.
You guys! I just called a cab company and asked if they would pick up booze and deliver it to us at the house. They said yes. I love it here. They are the best.

What have you got for me, Tumblr Friends?
Thank you!
Pet Peeve
People who push the limits in terms of the size of their carry on bags. I feel like traveling etiquette is window into one’s soul. Or lack thereof.

Important Update
The new STK in Midtown doesn’t open until 5:30 (the bar too) and my boss is FLIPPING OUT about it. A few of his quotes:
“This isn’t Meatpacking!”
“They are so fucking dumb.” “I estimate they lose at least $3,000 a night because of that.”
“NOW WE HAVE TO WALK IN THIS WEATHER?!”
Off for celebratory team drinks! (Well, a drink.) BYE!
