We are well into Hurricane season, and although I am glad we are not dealing with the brunt of it. I’m sure it will be exciting to see the tail end of Tropical Storm Hannah come through this weekend.
The Hurricane season continues through November First, so we may get some additional excitement out of this season as well.
In California, El Nino was often a treat, when you could find your self a safe seat on the cliffs or sometimes on the seawall of a sheltered beach and watch the 15+ foot waves consume buildings on the ocean fronts and wharfs. I am having a similar feeling looking at the New York Preparadness hurricane evecuation map. With a tropical storm on its way I’d like to find myself and Jules a nice comfortable apartment and have some friends over to watch the ‘FDR waterpark’ for an afternoon.
As a side bonus reading through the NYC Preparedness page has encouraged me to go out and buy enough water to fill the rest of the kitchen storage we have left.. and then some.

So here’s a little update on that fabulous school locker we found. Jack’s pretty much finished painting the outside (we’re thinking white or off-white for the inside). I so adore this green color!

Things may start to look a little odd here, while I play with the code and such, so please bear with me.
Thanks! <3

I cut a corkboard in the shape of stacked books; think it turned out cute.
I love my Nine Wests and the natural light this place gets.
Jack and I pulled a locker off the street, out front the school up the street, and he’s painting it Apple Green.

The above business card made me smile so much. I think it’s such a smart idea for a painting company and a great re-use of materials!
Hope everyone is enjoying their loooong weekend!

I have a love/hate relationship with tourist pits in this city. I hate dealing with slow-moving, in-the-way, picture-taking tourists. But, at the same time I love the feeling of knowing that I live in a place most people only get to sample. I count myself as such a lucky person to live here. I wake up a city so alive our floor shakes from time to time (or that could be the construction down the street… but I digress).
I didn’t always feel this way. My transition period was not a smooth one. Many nights there were tears and questions of what I was doing here. I was amazed by how a city so full of people could be so lonely. I was told when I moved here it would take about a year to get in the groove of things, and boy were they right. Nearly a year after I moved here it was as if I was pulled out of a cave and was dancing my way around the streets. And, once you get into the groove of New York, it’s the most amazing thing! Falling in love doesn’t hurt much, either. 
I loved reading (in the below article) how similar my experience were to others who decide to take a chance on living here!
Sometime over the course of a person’s first year in New York, there usually comes that moment. It can happen in the first days or weeks, or after 10 months. It can happen repeatedly, or without people noticing, at least not at first.
Newcomers suddenly realize either that the city is not working for them or that they are inexorably becoming part of it, or both. They find themselves walking and talking faster.
The subway begins to make sense. Patience is whittled away; sarcasm often ensues. New friends are made, routines established, and city life begins to feel like second nature. In other words, newcomers find themselves becoming New Yorkers.

Though I’ve yet to catch any of that “Hell’s Kitchen” show, Jack and I love Gordon Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmare.” So, needless-to-say, these hilarious and ingenious shorts for Caterer.com really tickled us. This kid they got is just brilliant!
