Cleaning House

I am finally going through my small blog role and taking down some of the links that are now either inactive or have shown no activity for the past year or so. It is kind of sad and you can't help but wonder what has happened to the people whose lives you used to read about and share in some way. I didn't blog for over a year myself so I totally understand that I might have dropped off the radar for most people. The good news is that I have added some blogs and sites that I either think are really important, interesting or fun. I hope any readers who stop by find time to check them out.

RiverPark Restaurant

Apparently this week is "restaurant week" here in NYC. I am not a foodie as anyone can tell you so this special week usually has no meaning to me at all. However some of my co-workers are and so yesterday we decided to visit the newly opened RiverPark restaurant which is very close by for us. They had a special restaurant week lunch special. It was a really nice place, very modern and comfortable and I was impressed as there was not one but TWO vegetarian options for me to choose from on the menu. It was a nice way to end the week and even though overall we ended up paying way more for a lunch that I would normally spend I think it was good value for money.

Snow Day

For many people today was a snow day. Unfortunately for me I live within walking distance of work so it was just a regular day. Is it me or are New Yorkers getting wimpy over snow.......yeah it was about 20 inches but things got moving pretty quickly. Anyway, here is a picture of the snowy garden from my apartment.

Brrrrrrrrr

Today was really really cold here in NYC. I don't think the temperatures got much out of the teens all day. I realized that we have had snow on the ground now since the day after Christmas. Enough already! Tomorrow I start my spring semester - my last one!!!Yay! I cant get over how quickly the time has past since I started 6 years ago.

Oh my! What a lazy morning/afternoon. DC let me sleep in until almost 12 today. I guess I was catching up with all the sleep I have been missing over the past few weeks or so. Now to find something to do for the rest of the day so that is doesn't feel wasted.

The Kings Speach

Yesterday DC and I went to see The Kings Speach. We went during the daytime which is something I always think of as being very decadent. DC liked the movie better than I did although I thought it was very good - just a little too long and slow. It made me think of when I ws a little boy and I had a stammer. We have a very very old reel to reel tape recording of me talking and stammering away. In the background you hear my father yell my name and then my tiny voice saying what I was trying to say perfectly. I don't stammer now although I still have a habit of falling over my words if I get excited about something.
