Hello Everyone!

Remember I kept telling you I was swamped with everything going on and couldn’t write as much as I’d like and all of you thought I was making it up? πŸ˜› Turns out I was busy packing the past five years of my life into little suitcases to be hauled and taken across the the country to Texas! Thats right.. I am not going to be chasing yellow cabs anymore! ( Sigh!) 😦I spent the major portion of my 20s in New York. The opportunity to be at the center of it all, so to speak was life changing. It has taught me to adult – to function as a self sufficient unit, to be brave and push myself to reach where I never thought possible, to make $10 meals, manage my money and to shovel my own snow πŸ˜› But all these come at a price – you also get cynical, numb, unfeeling and a little bit of a bitter meanie in the process. A bit of a broke meanie too πŸ˜› So maybe I am getting out just in time? I know I sound a little too cheerful for someoneΒ who just left the only home I’ve known in the US but now I get to live in a house that has it’sΒ own laundry :P( Ah! The first taste of the american dream ;)) Really though, I will continue to travel to NYC on work all the time so there’s no sad good byes really!

There’s going to be highs and lows as I transition but I really look forward to this journey πŸ™‚Β Β I hope you’ll will continue to read and support me as usual. Have a wonderful week πŸ˜€

PS: Here are a few images from my 1st year in NYC for your eyes only πŸ™‚

I love long coats, those mid calf ones that threaten to engulf you … especially when you are like 4 foot tall (My husband’s words not mine:P). But that should not stop any of us not-tall folks from wearing them. Not that anyone in New york needs them yet considering you can go out in a sweater in MID DECEMBER( Whatever happened to white christmas? :P). So here’s how I made it work

  1. Button the thing and hope for the best:PΒ IMG_6843
  2. Maybe show a peek of your clothes underneath to distract πŸ˜€IMG_6851
  3. Take the thing off, and make sure you have a chunky turtle neck underneath to keep you warm Hahah TADAAAAIMG_6856On a more serious note, heeled boots and or a confident smile should do a the trick! πŸ˜‰ Have a wonderful day

Chi5 Tuesdays! :)

chicago, Holiday, museum, photo booth, skyline, tourist

No that wasn’t a typo:) I spent most of the previous week in Chicago and hence the chi5 πŸ˜€ I spent most of my monday trying to remember that the holiday season is still a week few weeks away and hence the tuesday post πŸ˜›Β I really enjoyed Chicago, it was like a colder, cleaner New York but I must admit I like NY a wee bit more! πŸ˜‰ Here’s what I did last week

1. Wore my shoes down walking through the field museum, art institute, shedd aquarium and the museum of science! So much to see, so little time! πŸ˜›Β IMG_67522.Β The gorgeous views complete with the lake that looks like a beach!Β IMG_6474 copy3. All zee food that was eaten! Sorry deep dish, brooklyn style pizza does it for me! πŸ˜› Β 4. I didn’t have to spend any time dressing up, it was puffer day all day everyday πŸ˜› Mitts and earmuffs optional depending on the time of the day πŸ˜€IMG_63675. Bonus: Souvenirsssssss! One at every tourist trap πŸ˜‰ Heres one from a photobooth πŸ˜› πŸ™‚ 20151201_215803_resized_1
