Back after a fast 5 days in NYC – mostly working but a few snippets of good – raw vegan lunch with Anna and Jenna, a weekend with the lovely Vivian of shopping and eating and making up for 3 months of rural living, and the serendipity of waking up on the 2nd anniversary of my beloved grandmother’s death just a few blocks from where she grew up. Feeling close.
I turn 36 tomorrow and I’m not super happy about it. Stressed, not eating right, and not exercising – the triumvirate of low energy & aches and pains & feelin’ old. Gotta get it together! For now, just happy to be home after a few wonderful holiday-feeling days in the city. (Forgive the grainy iPhone photos – I didn’t bring a camera!)

looks like it was a fun trip! i would honestly rather take iphone photos these days–it takes much less effort to upload them and post!

You’re a mere hop to NYC! I used to go all the time when I lived in Philly. Hopefully soon you’ll be able to travel a bit?

I actually dig all the iphone pics. They have a nice quality to them. They look vintagey.
Also you have BEAUTIFUL nails. Is that weird to say?
Mine aren’t that attractive so I always notice it in others.
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I’m a December baby too, the day right after you! Happy Birthday, I know mine usually stresses me out too. It’s like New Year’s Eve for me, all this pressure and expectation to have the best day ever, and that’s a lot to live up to. Also, I see you went to Catbird, my favorite place ever!
