Things I Forgot on the Island of Manhattan

\ by

It’s fair to say NYC is worlds away from NE – not just in distance, but in the lifestyle. For example, when my best friend, Becca, was lamenting to me about having to get gas before work on a Monday, I equated it to having to wait in line to fill up my Metrocard pass on a Monday morning before getting on the subway (The line’s always extra long on Monday because everyone seems to have missed the boat on getting their s*** together to fill the pass over the weekend when the crowd is much lighter).

I forgot all about "the good life"

Anyway, I usually try to get back to The Big O at least every 6 months, but this time around, it’s been almost 8. Thus, I am out-of-practice with living the Nebraska life aka “the good life.”

Here’s a couple of things I completely forgot about: Continue Reading →

A Night Out in the Big O!

\ by

So sorry for the lack of posts these past couple days. I may be in Omaha aka “The Big O,” but that doesn’t mean life has slowed down one bit for this Sometimes Healthy Girl.

I’ve had quite a bit on the agenda since arriving in town yesterday at 2:00.  Priority tasks included a trip to my favorite grocery store to “window shop,”

Look at the size of that produce aisle...bigger than an entire NYC grocery store!

The ice cream aisle is enormous! Is it weird that I find this exciting?

An emergency pedicure (my mother was beside herself when she saw my feet),

Some quality time laying out by my best friend’s pool (since pools in NYC are far and few between), Continue Reading →

Theme Song FRIDAY: Back Where I Come From

\ by

Had to break a couple of rules today and switch Theme Song Thursday to Friday, since I didn’t have time to blog on my b-day. Hope you enjoyed reading about my Birthday Menu Dream Team. I’m proud to report that I was able to eat one item from the menu…

Closing down 16 Handles....slow down party girl

16 Handles. Shocking, I know. I think my parents really need to start worrying about their 28-year-old daughter. She chose “closing out” 16 Handles over closing out a bar. It appears this Sometimes Healthy Girl is officially getting OLD.  I had to work a bit late, since I’m out of the office all week next week. So, I worked until about 9:00, walked the streets of NYC until 10:00 listening to some country music and closed down 16 Handles with Michelle at 11. Believe it or not, it was the perfect way to end my birthday, and I’ve got no complaints :-).
