Back on Schedule…

 

Hello and welcome to all my new and old readers alike. Bo and I are back in New York City and finally getting back in the groove.

I’ve received a few questions about the numerous guest posts. My grandmother passed away early Wednesday morning and Bo and I quickly headed down to Savannah to be with my family. I wasn’t sure how I would feel during the process, how much time I’d have to dedicate to blogging, or whether I’d want to share any of it with my readers. Therefore, when some of my favorite bloggers offered to do guest posts, I jumped at the offer! Now that we’re back in New York blogging has returned to the regular schedule.

This morning I urged Spring’s arrival by dressing as if the sun was reflective of the temperature.

 

Not so much! My feet and calves were freezing in the 23 degree weather this morning! Oops!

I warmed up at the office with a bowl of warm oats. These oats were even more special due to my new bowl! It isn’t as bright in pictures as it is in person, but it’s still a fresh new bowl.

Lunch wasn’t pictured as I was in an all day meeting and my camera was unfortunately at my desk. But, I was proud of my choice as I enjoyed a can of Progresso’s Low Sodium Chicken Gumbo with an Arnold Sandwich Thin instead of a catered Cosi lunch. Ten points for planning ahead!

All day work meetings are so exhausting! I don’t know whether it’s the eight hours of sitting, quiet, staring at the screen, or stale air but a day of meetings leaves me far more tired than a day of regular work. I love the fact that my job includes interacting with co-workers all day versus staring at the computer screen!

All I wanted to do after work was come home and get to bed early. But, I had plans and I wasn’t going to break them!

I had the great opportunity to see my cousin’s husband, Rich Orlow, perform Fahrenheit 451 through the American Place Theatre Company’s Literature to Life program.

Here is a small summary of the amazing program:

Literature to Life®, The American Place Theatre’s performance-based literacy program, presents professionally staged verbatim adaptations of significant American literary works. This educational program gives students a new form of access to literature by bringing to life the world of books with performances that create an atmosphere of discovery and spark the imagination.

Rich was amazing and it was such a pleasure to see him in person as it’s a rare occasion that he performs in New York City!

After the show I enjoyed the evening weather while catching up with a friend on the phone. Long walks in perfect weather are one of my favorite things; especially when they provide the perfect opportunity to chat with old friends.

Here are a few pictures from this evening’s walk: 

 

 

 

Question: Do you walk and talk? When do you catch up with old friends via phone?
