Apartment Stalking

Earlier today while walking my monster/dog I noticed a moving truck and an open door to one of the townhouses down the street. I of course let my dog do the curb stalking right in front so I could do some stalking of my own. See every time I see an open door or well lit window I find myself stopping, staring, drooling, leering, and dreaming at the apartment on display to me.
I know I am not alone in this so you can stop judging me with your side eye.

Because I don't want to make my creepiness even more obvious, I do not take out my phone and take pictures of said apartments. So here is my online version of apartment stalking, real-estate listing style.
Enjoy.

WHYY

source: Youtube.com

Whenever I am hungover (often) the song "Why" by Annie Lennox plays on loop in my head.
  
The scenario usually goes something like this: Me sucking back two painkillers and a well-done grilled cheese sandwich with fries and a wine back while "Why?" plays in the background.
 
 In honor of the fact that this is one of those days enjoy the above video while I try to make my headache go away.

If You See My Boyfriend

Tell him Christmas is coming. I love this:Yves Saint Laurent ($950) Fringes Gold-Plated Necklace... I came close to it in Paris after I broke the seal (shopping version)  on a Miu Miu Bag. See once I break the seal I go temporarily insane and can't stop spending. If I don't make the first purchase within my first few stores,  I will leave with nothing (usually doesn't happen).

Here are some other ideas you can give my/your boyfriend.

My Dog Might Be the Devil...

My dog Rudy when he was a puppy. 

But he is really cute... I should have realized that Rudy would be trouble when he did this, but I told myself it was funny and "he's just a puppy". Well fast forward 2.5 years and he is a 30 pound terrorist monster.

Drop a dollar on the floor... shredded. Try to enjoy a meal at home... get ready for the whining. Knock on the door... here comes the barking. Wake him up from a nap....  watch your limbs he's a biter.

Despite it all, I love him and spoil him..... Exhibit A: Halloween Costumes

Everybody Is Fat When They Sit Down

source: dlisted.com

Every time I am on a beach I try to stay completely reclined with a pitcher of sangria in hand or standing up faking decent posture in order to look my thinnest. But eventually the time comes where I need to shovel in a bucket of fries which means that sitting up is required. That is when the cover up comes back on because it is impossible to maintain the illusion that I am thin while in the seated position.

That is why I love this above picture of Kate Moss.... Let me get this out of the way she is amazing. Love Her, you will definitely be seeing many posts to follow that will further show my love for her....  I see this picture of that tiny roll and it makes me feel better because even the skinny Kate has a little fat when she sits down.

Drunch

Drunching: to leisurely sit and enjoy a glass (carafe, bottle) of wine in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday.

I am currently not fully employed,so I spend a lot of my afternoons enjoying extended drunches. I find it breaks up the day nicely and can lead to a wonderful mid-day nap.

Favorite Drunch Spots in NYC:

1: The New French (hudson btw. 10th and Charles): dish- The spicy steak sandwich

2: Morandi: (Waverly Place): dish- Carafe of the montepulciano

3: The Smith (3rd Ave/ 11th Street): dish- Mac and Cheese

4: Le Zie (7th Ave/ 20th Street): dish-  Chicken piccata with a glass of Merlot

..... more to come

Amazing Drunch Partners in NYC:

1: My Mom - taught me everything I know about drunching. If you don't order wine she assumes you are ill

2: Caroline NF- recently got married and employed. Seriously why must she hate me

3: Rose Wood- one of my friend's alter ego that only comes out with booze or around annoying people

4: My Sister -she slips in the ranks for the fact that she is fully employed in midtown.... but she really can drink
