It's been a busy week..Tuesday night Dan took me to see the Foo Fighters at the Izod Center in NJ. As Dan likes to say, he doesn't go to Jersey for just any concert. He has to really like the band. And it was well worth it. Though it was a long night, they were great. They even played some acoustic numbers in the middle of the set, which I am ( Read more... )

So last night Dan and I (as well as his brother and sister-in-law) went to see Billy Joel play at Shea Stadium..! Admittedly, I don't know tons of his songs (though I do really like him), however this is the sort of experience I couldn't pass up. There were, goodness, I don't know, 70,000 people there? We had seats on the mezz level behind home ( Read more... )

A few months ago Dan asked me to hold last night's date open. He's great at surprises, so I was sure that whatever was planned would be lots of fun. And that assumption was correct. He got us tickets to see Bon Jovi at MSG, with the All-American Rejects opening. What a fantastic show, all around. I'd never been to MSG before, so that alone was a ( Read more... )

Well hi there! I haven't updated in a while. It's been a pretty hectic spring, and things don't seem to be slowing down! Dan and I went to Punta Cana for a week in May and it was a wonderful week of doing nothing but eating, drinking, and laying by the pool/beach. It was just what we both needed. I hope it won't be too long before we can do it ( Read more... )

Mom and Dad came up last week for a visit. While they were here I had a group interview for grad school. It went well, I thought--and they told us we should find out within a couple of weeks. I figured I would know something by the time Dan and I got back from our vacation. But, lo and behold, Saturday I check my mail and got an acceptance letter! ( Read more... )

I guess today I just feel like updating with general things I've been doing recently, and things coming up....Dan and I have seen a few shows recently---a couple weeks ago I got comp tickets to a show we handle called 'The Drunken City.' The next night I was able to get us two student rush tickets to see 'Spring Awakening,' which was fantastic! ( ( Read more... )

Last night I took Dan to a casual wine-tasting for a belated V-Day gift. It was at a bar in midtown, and there were four tables set up, a total of 29 wines were available. There were also a couple tables of cheeses/crackers/etc to nosh on. My favorite cheese was what I named the "petting zoo cheese." I bit into it and literally tasted like what a ( Read more... )

I was flipping through Facebook, looking at everyone's pictures and updates....And, all of a sudden, I realized I am tired of feeling like everyone has a more interesting or better life than me, for one reason or another. I am exhausted at constantly criticizing myself for just about everything--spending money on this or that, not working hard ( Read more... )

It's been a hectic start to the new year. Dan's Mother passed away right after we returned from our NC trip for the holidays. It's been a long road for her in the last six months, due to her health. I feel so blessed to have gotten to know her over the past few years. I was really worried something would happen while we were in NC, but we were so ( Read more... )

I was booking a subscriber to one of our theatre companies today.As I was verifying her phone number she said "If you look me up in NY Magazine you'll see who I am." Me: "Oh?" Her: "Yes, I am one of New York's premiere matchmakers. Do you want to get married?" Me: *slight pause and grinning* "No thanks, I have a great boyfriend." Her: "Well, you ( Read more... )
