About Me
a turtle named skiperdee
Wonderful care package from my sister! What a great thing to brighten up a bad day at work.
Love you lots L! Can’t wait for you to visit me!
Beautiful roses from the wonderful boyfriend. He planned ahead and didn’t want me to have to carry them to dinner on Valentines day and so that I could enjoy them all week. I love having a boyfriend that plans!
- Buses are a good option instead of the subway to get around.
- Sometimes it’s faster to walk than wait for the bus.
- 20 blocks north-south= 1 mile
- 6 blocks east-west (the normal size ones like from 7th to 8th)= 1 mile…this can change though on the east side with Madison and Lexington thrown in there
- I have no need for a gym membership when I live 1.6 miles from work and sometimes walk and live in a 5th floor walk-up.
- I have yet to learn how to grocery shop like a New Yorker. Lesson to myself: If you think your cart might be reaching the maximum amount of items you can carry home, stop then. Don’t look at it and think a few more things can’t hurt. Quit while you’re ahead! Or you won’t be able to feel your arms by the time you have walked the 3 blocks (the big east-west ones) back to your apartment and climbed the stairs up to the 5th floor.
- There are more restaurants on Seamless that deliver to my apartment than I think I could ever order from…Seriously, over 200 places will bring food right to my door!
- The bagels and pizza really are the best ever!
