Today, I turn 34. To be honest, I don't feel any different than I did yesterday when I was a young 33 year old. Ok, maybe I noticed that my back is a little on the achy side when I woke up this morning. And, when I tried on my brand-spanking-new Jimmy Choo heels last night, I swear I felt a bit of vertigo. But, that could all be coincidence. Surely, 34 does not make old. Right?Oh, who am I

After 10 years of going to the Takashimaya New York, and enjoying all of my solo New York lunches at the Tea Box since my old stomping ground, Toraya, closed in 2003, I was broken-hearted to find out that they are closing their doors in June of this year.*wipes tear*I had lunch there on Friday and found out about this news and was truly bummed about it. I've been a regular for so long that, when

I've lived in my town for almost nine years, yet today is the first time I went somewhere on foot. It felt weird. I was the only pedestrian on the road. Definitely different from being a pedestrian in Manhattan.-------------------------Working from a Starbucks is like working from home. Except you can't be in your pj.

I dreamt I was sitting on top of the tallest tree. The wind blew and knocked me off my stoop. I fell, head first, and the wolves came and feasted on my limp body. They ate everything, left nothing. There was no more of me. Even the memories of me was gone. No one remembered. As if I never existed.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a dream...Originally uploaded by gealouxy"Is that her?", he asked.I turned down the TV volume and listened. It was her, crying. It's not often that The Girl wakes up in the middle of the night. Only when she's not feeling well, like tonight. So, I went up and checked on her. She stopped crying as soon as I entered her bedroom, mumbled words I couldn't

Lunch at Teabox Cafe, followed by a visit to the Central Park zoo, then family portraits at one of the park benches, and finally, FAO Schwartz to pick her birthday gift. But, for lame reasons we couldn't avoid, we ended up staying at

Kiwis in NY Originally uploaded by gealouxyThe thing about the internet is it affords you to make friends and maintain friendships even from far distances. This is definitely true with Christine and her beautiful, funny family.I've been following Christine's blog for years and met her, in person, for the first time, a couple of weeks ago. We went to dinner, had desserts, and there was no awkward
