My Television Debut

November 23, 2011

Wow. What a crazy-awesome day. Never in a million years did I think I’d end up on television for a batch of healthy cookies that I baked. I love how random/unpredictable my life is sometimes. Hey, I’m just going with it! Yesterday morning, Theodora and I dressed in our holiday best, freaked out with nervous [...]

Sunday in the City

September 18, 2011

IMG_0109 (640x480)

Hi, friends! Happy Sunday! I woke up to sunshine and a gorgeous view of the New York City skyline. What a way to start the day. Imagine waking up every morning to that view. After dillydallying around the apartment (and cuddling with Bailey), Theodora and I headed to breakfast at the Theatre Row Diner. The [...]

My day included many of the things that make me really happy: friends, dogs, cheese, cupcakes, and beer. (Yes, three out of five of them are food.) I have no complaints about today. When I arrived in New York City this afternoon, Theodora and I ran a few errands together and then headed to The [...]

After the Mini 10K and brunch, I headed back to the hotel to quickly shower and get Mal. We had plans to meet friends at Blind Tiger in about an hour, so I really needed [...]

NYRR Mini 10K Recap

June 12, 2011

IMG_0244 (450x336)

Well, I can sum up Saturday’s NYRR Mini 10k in two words: hills and humidity. The combination of the two made for a really tough race, but I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face. And, really, isn’t that the best part about running a race? I love running in Central Park, but [...]

Carb Load

IMG_0001 (640x480)

I’m pretty sure carb-loading before a race involves beer, right? Yep, I think it does. After wandering around the city for hours and hours, I met Theodora for a couple of beers at The Ginger Man, a laid-back beer bar featuring 66 taps and over 120 bottled beers. The Ginger Man was totally my type [...]

I think I’m still stuffed from last night’s dinner! The Thomas Bagel Thins folks treated the team to dinner at Nuela, a Nuevo-Latino restaurant. “Nuela brings a taste of South America to the Flatiron District in New York City, combining the excitement and energy of South American cuisine and décor with a modern, urban sabor.” [...]

Hello, New York City

IMG_0103 (480x640)

Greetings from the Big Apple! I arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon in New York City and immediately headed straight to Eventi, a fancy-schmancy Chelsea hotel near the New York theater district. If you’re a long-time reader of CNC, you know just how much I love hotels. I’m actually sort of obsessed. (You can see [...]
