Go New York Knicks
I love former Syracuse basketball star Andy Rautins...I liked him when he was skinny as hell and sat on the bench, then he tore his ACL (I cried) and came back a beast. He was then drafted to the Knicks (on the right) and I guess the rookies had to do this. But in the spirit of Anthony going to the Knicks and getting a few years rest before hearing about another Anthony trade...I'm sharing this lovely piece of musicality with you. Enjoy.
Twice Monthly Blog? NO MORE!
So as we all know, I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing...I don't have time to write as much as I'd like, nor do I think I'm interesting enough to tell you about my everyday excursions. AND if I write about my daily life here, no one will buy my book when I get fired from my job and write a tell-all. But I try to give you guys bits and pieces of my life, in an adorable, preppy, humorous fashion and now that I have a new reader...one of my favorite people on the planet, the famed Christine Rochelle (you can check her out at http://www.christinerochelle.com/) ...I have someone I need to impress. After all, she makes a living writing and mastering online publications, blogs, etc. So here goes nothing...I'm starting a new chapter of my blog and it's going to be good!

Super Bowl Weekend
YAY Packers! Now most of us know I am not a Packers fan, nor will I ever be a Pittsburg fan, I love the other team that starts with a "P"...But there is something about Aaron Rodgers that really had me cheering for him. I don't know if it's his 'boy nextdoor' attitude, or the fact that he was pretty young and still had the confidence to put on the fake 'champion belt'...but I like the kid.
This weekend was an interesting one...C had a girls only Super Bowl Extravaganza in NYC. The four of us got super dressed up and went out to dinner at La Esquina (that's right, you've probably never heard of it because you have to be 'referred' by someone else who's been there...and C's husband has connections all over this freaking country, so we got in...yay for us!). Beyonce is known for being a loyal customer, but there were no sightings of her and Jay. We then attempted to go to Gold Bar, but they weren't open yet (which made us felt like we were 68) so we went to an Italian restaurant for sangria (couldn't stop the flow of alcohol...). Then we went to Gold Bar where we were the first and only people in the bar for a good hour...we had a private room and table service and it was really fun to feel like I was living in Gossip Girl. We then went to Buddakan and had drinks called 'Charm' and 'Lust'...don't ask. We then went to a roof top bar where we cut the line of about 56 people and asked the bouncer if we had to wait in the line, he didn't answer us and asked for ID's...oh the beauty of being female. After 2 "girly fruity drinks" each (that's how we ordered them) it was pizza time. Then bedtime and then maybe the most memorable part, hangover time. I think I reached the epitome of class by puking in a Bloomingdales bathroom and then buying Tory Burch sandals, oh the life of a fashionista.
I did learn a few lessons from all of this though: 1. always look your best, you never know when you're going to have to cut a line 2. girls nights never get old, even when you're ages 24-26 3. I am too old to be mixing alcohols, I did party with the best for 4 years of my life, yet somehow that lesson got lost on me and 4. Super Bowl Eve is the new Thanksgiving Eve...watch out world, I've created a new holiday!
Happy Monday, all!
